Creating Custom Phone Rings
You can customize the phone ring types available at your site by using a set of phone ring sounds that
are provided by Cisco
Unified Communications Manager or by creating your own pulse code modulation
(PCM) files and editing the Ringlist.xml file.
Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide for more information.
Configuring Corporate and Personal Directories
The Directories button on the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960G/7940G gives users access to several
directories. These directories can include:
Corporate Directory—Allows a user to look up phone numbers for co-workers.
To support this feature, you must configure corporate directories. See the “Configuring Corporate
Directories” section on page 5-9 for more information.
Personal Directory—Allows a user to store a set of personal numbers.
To support this feature, you must provide the user with software to configure the personal directory.
See the
“Configuring Personal Directory” section on page 5-9 for more information.
Configuring Corporate Directories
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
directory to store authentication and authorization information about users of Cisco
Unified
Communications Manager applications that interface with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager.
Authentication establishes the users’ rights to access the system. Authorization identifies the telephony
resources that a user is permitted to use, such as a specific telephone extension.
To install and set up these features, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
Guide, LDAP System Configuration, LDAP Directory Configuration, and LDAP Authentication
Configuration chapters.
After the LDAP directory configuration completes, users can use the Corporate Directory service on
your Cisco
Unified IP Phone 7960G or 7940G to look up users in the corporate directory.
Configuring Personal Directory
Personal Directory consists of the following features:
Personal Address Book (PAB)
Personal Fast Dials (Fast Dials)
Address Book Synchronization Tool (TABSynch)
Users can access Personal Directory features by these methods:
From a web browser—Users can access the PAB and Fast Dials features from the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager User Options web pages
From the Cisco Unified IP Phone—Users can choose Directories > Personal Directory to access
the PAB and Fast Dials features from their phones
