EnergyWise Mode
In addition to Power Save mode, the Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience DX600 series phone supports
Cisco EnergyWise (Power Save Plus) mode. When your network contains an EnergyWise (EW) controller
(for example, a Cisco switch with the EnergyWise feature enabled), you can configure these phones to sleep
(power down) and wake (power up) on a schedule to further reduce power consumption.
Set up each phone to enable or disable the EnergyWise settings. If EnergyWise is enabled, configure a sleep
and wake time, as well as other parameters. These parameters are sent to the phone as part of the phone
configuration XML file. In the Phone Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration, configure the following parameters:
Enable Power Save Plus
Selects the schedule of days for which the phone powers down.
Phone On Time
Determines when the phone automatically turns on for the days that are selected in the Enable Power
Save Plus field.
Phone Off Time
Determines the time of day that the phone powers down for the days that are selected in the Enable
Power Save Plus field.
Phone Off Idle Timeout
Determines the length of time that the phone must be idle before the phone powers down.
Enable Audio Alert
When enabled, instructs the phone to play an audible alert starting 10 minutes before the time that the
Phone Off Time field specifies.
EnergyWise Domain
Specifies the EnergyWise domain that the phone is in.
EnergyWise Secret
Specifies the security secret password that is used to communicate within the EnergyWise domain.
Allow EnergyWise Overrides
Determines whether you allow the EnergyWise domain controller policy to send power-level updates
to the phones.
When a phone is sleeping, the power sourcing equipment (PSE) provides minimal power to the phone to
illuminate the Lock button, and the Lock button can be used to wake up the phone when it is sleeping.
Power Negotiation Over LLDP
The phone and the switch negotiate the power that the phone consumes. Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience
DX600 series devices operate at multiple power settings, which lowers power consumption when less power
is available.
