Note If you configure a phone using a TFTP server, parameter values in a profile will
overwrite values that you set from the phone’s web page for the same parameters.
This chapter includes the following topics:
• Accessing a Phone’s Web Page, page 7-2
• Viewing Statistical and Operational Information, page 7-4
Accessing a Phone’s Web Page
You can display and configure device and network information for a
Cisco IP Phone through the phone’s web page. You can access the web page using
any graphically capable web browser.
Note Cisco recommends that you take care to prevent unauthorized access to a phone’s
web page and that you increase security by setting a password using the
UIPassword parameter in the phone’s profile. For more information about this
parameter, see the “Profile Parameters” section on page 8-26. For security
reasons, Cisco also recommends that you do not use the web interface over the
public network. Disable the web interface by setting the OpFlags parameter bit 7
(mask 0x80) to 1 before the phone leaves the service-provider site. After the
parameter bit is set, limited configuration can be done through the configuration
menus on a phone and full configuration can be done through the TFTP server.
To access the web page for a Cisco IP Phone, perform the following steps.
If you want to edit parameters in the Network Parameters, SIP Parameters, Call
Preferences, Tone Parameters, or Audio Parameters areas, you must first set up a
password with the UIPassword parameter in the profile. If you do not set up a
password, you will be able to view information in these areas, but you will not be
able to change parameters, and Apply will not be available.
