We recommend that you create a web page on your internal support site that provides end users with important
information about their Cisco IP Phones.
Consider including the following types of information on this site:
• User guides for all Cisco IP Phone models that you support
• Information on how to access the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal
• List of features supported
• User guide or quick reference for your voicemail system
Configuration and Deployment Workflow
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified Communications Manager) provides call services through
the Cisco Phone app. We recommend that you use an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) application,
such as Cisco Meraki Systems Manager, to manage the devices and Cisco apps. If you don’t use an EMM
application, you can manage the devices and apps individually on each phone. However, we do not recommend
this method for deployments of more than a few phones.
We also recommend using an EMM application and Quick Response (QR) code to program the phones to
connect to a WPA2 PSK WLAN and EMM application. Alternately, you can use a Google Wizard to manually
configure the network service set identifier (SSID) settings.
