Reducing Power Consumption on the Cisco Unified IP Phone
6901 and 6911
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 6900 Series supports Cisco EnergyWise (EW) (also known as Power Save
Plus). When your network contains an EnergyWise controller, you can configure these phones to sleep
(power down) and wake (power up) on a schedule to reduce your power consumption.
You set up each phone to enable or disable the EnergyWise settings. If EnergyWise is enabled, you
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.

If you are configuring the network settings on the phone, you
can set up an IP address for the phone by either using DHCP or
manually entering an IP address.
Using DHCP—Verify that DHCP is enabled with the IVR. You
can set an alternate TFTP by entering the IP address for the
TFTP when prompted by the IVR.
Note
Consult with the network administrator to determine
whether you need to assign an alternative TFTP server
instead of using the TFTP server assigned by DHCP.
Without DHCP—Verify that DHCP is disabled with the IVR.
You must then configure the IP address, subnet mask, TFTP
server, and default router locally by using the phone’s IVR.
