on the value of mobility by enabling anywhere, anytime access to important business applications and
features.
Cisco Cius includes the following features:
• Campus mobility with a choice of wired Gigabit Ethernet connectivity through handset media station
or IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity
• An Intel Atom 1.6-GHz processor
• 1-GB RAM and 32-GB of eMMC flash memory
• Native support for Bluetooth headsets
• Bluetooth profile support, including Hands-Free Profile and Advanced Audio Distribution (A2DP)
Profile
• High-definition video through 7-inch (177.8 mm) high-resolution color screen.
• High-definition audio through integrated speakers
• Microphone
• Front- and rear-facing cameras
• Detachable and serviceable 8-hour battery
Cisco Cius, like other network devices, must be configured and managed. Cisco Cius devices encode
G.711a-law, G.711 u-law, G.722, G.729a, G.729ab, and iLBC, and decode G.711a-law, G.711u-law, G.722,
G.729, G.729a, G.729b, G.729ab, iSAC, iLBC, and H.264.
Using a mobile or GSM phone, or two-way radio in close proximity to Cisco Cius might cause interference.

In a secure call, all call signaling and media streams are encrypted. A secure call offers a high level of security, providing integrity and privacy to the call. -
Page 18: Call Security Interactions And Restrictions
Establishing and Identifying Secure Calls A secure call is established when your Cisco Cius and a phone on the other end are configured for secure calling. They can be in the same Cisco IP network, or on a network outside the IP network. A secure conference call is established by using this process: 1 A user initiates the call from a secured Cisco Cius (Encrypted security mode). - Page 19 CDP; however, CDP does not identify any locally attached PCs; therefore, an EAPOL pass-through mechanism is used, whereby a PC that is attached locally to Cisco Cius may pass EAPOL messages to the Cisco Cius Administration Guide, Release 9.2(3)

Page 20: Required Network Components
Support for 802.1X authentication on Cisco Cius requires several components, including the following: • Cisco Cius - Cisco Cius acts as the 802.1X supplicant, which initiates the request to access the network. • Cisco Catalyst Switch (or other third-party switch) - The switch must support 802.1X, so that it can act as the authenticator and pass the messages between Cisco Cius and the authentication server. -
Page 21: Security Restrictions
Security Restrictions A user cannot barge in to an encrypted call if the Cisco Cius device that is used to barge is not configured for encryption. When barge fails in this case, a fast busy tone plays on the Cisco Cius on which the user initiated the barge. - Page 22 Services Guide.
