Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones
Configuring Telephony Features
You can modify certain settings for the Cisco Unified IP Phone from the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration application. Use this web-based application to set up phone registration criteria
and calling search spaces, to configure corporate directories and services, and to modify phone button
templates, among other tasks. See the “Telephony Features Available for the Phone” section on page 5-1
and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for additional information.
For more information about the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration application,
refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager documentation, including Cisco
Unified Communications Manager System Guide. You can also use the context-sensitive help available
within the application for guidance.

Configuring Network Parameters Using the Cisco Unified IP Phone
You can configure parameters such as DHCP, TFTP, and IP settings on the phone itself. You can also
obtain statistics about a current call or firmware versions on the phone.
For more information about configuring features and viewing statistics from the phone, see Chapter 4,
“Configuring Settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone,” and see Chapter 7, “Viewing Model Information,
Status, and Statistics on the Cisco Unified IP Phone.”
Providing Users with Feature Information
If you are a system administrator, you are likely the primary source of information for Cisco Unified IP
Phone users in your network or company. To ensure that you distribute the most current feature and
procedural information, familiarize yourself with Cisco Unified IP Phone documentation. Make sure to
visit the Cisco Unified IP Phone web site:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/tsd_products_support_series_home.html
From this site, you can access various user guides, including wallet cards.
In addition to providing users with documentation, it is important to inform them about available
Cisco Unified IP Phone features—including features specific to your company or network—and about
how to access and customize those features, if appropriate.
For a summary of some of the key information that phone users need their system administrators to
provide, see Appendix A, “Providing Information to Users Via a Website.”
Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones
Implementing security in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system prevents identity theft of
the phone and Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, prevents data tampering, and prevents
call signaling and media stream tampering.
