Communications Manager (SCCP and SIP).
As with other network devices, you must configure Cisco Unified IP Phones to prepare them to access
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the rest of the IP network. By using DHCP, you have fewer
settings to configure on a phone, but if your network requires it, you can manually configure information,
such as an IP address, TFTP server, and subnet information.
Finally, because the Cisco Unified IP Phone is a network device, you can obtain detailed status information
from the phone directly. This information can assist you with troubleshooting any problems users might
encounter when using their IP Phones.

Information for End Users
If you are a system administrator, you are likely the primary source of information for Cisco Unified IP Phone
users in your network or company. To ensure that you distribute the most current feature and procedural
information, familiarize yourself with Cisco Unified IP Phone documentation on the Cisco Unified IP Phone
web site.
In addition to providing documentation, you should inform users about the features enabled on the phones,
including those specific to your company or network. You should also give users instructions on how to access
and customize the features, if appropriate. You might want to use an internal support web site to keep your
users informed.
