Unified IP Telephony Products

before sending and receiving calls.

Understanding How the Cisco Unified IP Phone Interacts with
Cisco Unified CallManager
Cisco Unified CallManager, is an open and industry-standard call processing
system, and runs on a Windows 2000 server and sets up and tears down calls
between phones and integrates traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP
network. Cisco Unified CallManager manages the components of the IP
telephony system—the phones, the access gateways, and the resources that are
necessary for such features as call conferencing and route planning.
For information about configuring Cisco Unified CallManager to work with the
IP devices that are described in this chapter, refer to
Cisco Unified CallManager
Administration Guide
,
Cisco Unified CallManager System Guide
, and to
Cisco
Unified IP Phone Authentication and Encryption for Cisco
Unified CallManager 4.0(1).
Note
If the Cisco Unified IP Phone model that you want to configure does not appear
in the Phone Type drop-down list in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration,
