Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906G and 7911G for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0
OL11954-01
If auto registration is not enabled and the phone has not been added to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database, the phone registration request
will be rejected. In this case, the phone will reset and attempt to register
repeatedly.
If the phone has registered before, the phone will access the configuration file
named SEP
mac_address
.cnf.xml, where
mac_address
is the MAC address of the
phone. For more information about how the phone interacts with the TFTP server,
refer to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide
, “Cisco TFTP”
chapter.
If you configure security-related settings in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration, the phone configuration file will contain sensitive
information. To ensure the privacy of a configuration file, you must configure it
for encryption. For more information, refer to the “Configuring Encrypted Phone
Configuration Files” chapter in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security
Guide
.
SIP Dial Rules
For Cisco Unified IP Phones running under SIP, the administrator uses dial rules
to configure SIP phone dial plans. These dial plans must be associated with a SIP
phone device to enable dial plans to be sent to the configuration file. If the
administrator does not configure a SIP phone dial plan, the phone does not display
any indication of a dial plan. In this case, you must press the Dial softkey, unless
the phone supports key press markup language (KPML).
For more information on configuring SIP dial rules, refer to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide
.
Understanding the Phone Startup Process
When connecting to the VoIP network, the Cisco IP Phone goes through a
standard startup process, as described in
Table 2-3
. Depending on your specific
network configuration, not all of these steps may occur on your
Cisco Unified IP Phone.
