Identify Protected Calls
A protected call establishes when your phone and the phone on the other end are set up for protected calling.
The other phone can be in the same Cisco IP network, or on a network outside the IP network. Protected calls
can only be made between two phones. Conference calls and other multiple-line calls do not support protected
calls.
A protected call establishes using this process:
1. A user initiates the call from a protected phone (protected security mode).
2. A security tone plays if the call connects to another protected phone, indicating that both ends of the
conversation are encrypted and protected. If the call connects to a non protected phone, then the secure
tone does not play.
Note Connections between two phones support protected calling. Some features, such as conference calling and
shared lines are not available when protected calling is configured.
Call Security Interactions and Restrictions
Cisco Unified Communications Manager checks the phone security status when conferences establish and
changes the security indication for the conference or blocks the completion of the call to maintain integrity
and security in the system.
The following table provides information about changes to call security levels when using Barge for Cisco
