system such as the Cisco Smart Business Communications System (SBCS). In this
system, the phone network is managed by equipment such as the Cisco Unified
Communications 500 Series. The Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series uses
a protocol called Smart Phone Control Protocol (SPCP) to manage voice, data, and
video traffic.
Setup of the phone network, including advanced configuration of the phones, is
performed using Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA) software. This software is
available on Cisco.com. Documents for using CCA are listed in
