RTP streams, which utilize UDP. IPv6 Support on Cisco Unified IP Phones The Cisco Unified IP Phone uses the internet protocol to provide voice communication over the network. Previous to Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 8.0, only the internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) was supported.
Page 24
Cisco Unified IP Phones support both IPv4 and an IPv6 address transparently, so users can handle all calls on the phone to which they are accustomed. Cisco Unified IP Phones support the use of IPv6 only with Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 7.1 and only with the Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP).
Chapter 4, Configuring Settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone. The Cisco Unified IP Phone can interact with other services and devices on your IP network to provide enhanced functionality. For example, you can integrate the Cisco Unified IP Phones with the corporate Lightweight Directory Access Protocol 3 (LDAP3) standard directory to enable users to search for co-workers contact information directly from their IP phones.
Providing Users with Feature Information 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.
Cisco Unified IP phones. The Cisco Unified IP Phones 7975G, 7971G-GE, 7970G, 7965G, and 7945G use the Phone Security Profile, which defines whether the device is nonsecure, authenticated, or encrypted. For information on applying the security profile to the phone, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.
Overview of Supported Security Features Table 1-4 provides an overview of the security features that the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7975G, 7971G-GE, 7970G, 7965G, and 7945G support. For more information about these features and about Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified IP Phone security, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

In an authenticated call, all devices participating in the establishment of the call are trusted devices, and authenticated by Cisco Unified Communications Manager. When a call in progress is authenticated, the call progress icon to the right of the call duration timer in the phone screen changes to this icon: In an encrypted call, all devices participating in the establishment of the call are trusted devices, and authenticated by the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
A protected call is established when your phone, and the phone on the other end, is configured for protected calling. The other phone can be in the same Cisco Unified 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 are not supported.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance This chapter provides information that can assist you in troubleshooting problems with your Cisco Unified Unified IP Phone or with your IP telephony network. It also explains how to clean and maintain your phone. For additional troubleshooting information, refer to the Using the 79xx Status Information For Troubleshooting tech note.
Symptom: The Cisco Unified IP Phone Does Not Go Through its Normal Startup Process When you connect a Cisco Unified IP Phone into the network port, the phone should go through its normal startup process as described in the “Verifying the Phone Startup Process” section on page 3-14, and the LCD screen should display information.
Checking Network Connectivity If the network is down between the phone and the TFTP server or Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the phone cannot start up properly. Ensure that the network is currently running.
If the Cisco CallManager service is not running, all devices on the network that rely on it to make phone calls will be affected. If the TFTP service is not running, many devices will not be able to start up successfully.
Registering the Phone with Cisco Unified Communications Manager A Cisco Unified IP Phone can register with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server only if the phone has been added to the server or if auto-registration is enabled. Review the information and...
Verifying Physical Connection Verify that the Ethernet connection to which the Cisco Unified IP Phone is connected is up. For example, check whether the particular port or switch to which the phone is connected is down and that the switch is not rebooting.
Cisco Unified IP Phones 7971G-GE and 7970G send messages with request type 151 to renew their DHCP address leases. If the DHCP server expects messages with request type 150, the lease will be denied, forcing the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7971G-GE and 7970G to restart and request a new IP address from the DHCP server.
Use the same TFTP server used for other functioning Cisco Unified IP Phones. On the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, verify that the local host files have the correct Step 3 Cisco Unified Communications Manager server name mapped to the correct IP address.

Explanation Daisy-chaining IP phones Cisco does not support connecting an IP phone to another IP phone through the PC port. Each IP phone should directly connect to a switch port. If phones are connected together in a line (by using the PC port), the phones will not work.
Page 213
The RxType and the TxType statistics show the codec that is being phone and another device used for a conversation between this Cisco Unified IP phone and the other device. The values of these statistics should match. If they do not, verify that the other device can handle the codec conversation or that a transcoder is in place to handle the service.

Performing a Factory Reset, page 9-15 Performing a Basic Reset Performing a basic reset of a Cisco Unified IP Phone provides a way to recover if the phone experiences an error and provides a way to reset or restore various configuration and security settings.
While the phone is powering up, and before the Speaker button flashes on and off, press and hold #. Step 2 Continue to hold # until each line button flashes on and off in sequence in orange (for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G, 7971G-GE and 7970G) or amber (for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G).

You can press a key twice in a row, but if you press the keys out of sequence, the factory reset will not take place. After you press these keys, the line buttons on the phone flash orange and then green (for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G, 7971G-GE and 7970G) or red (for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G), and the phone goes through the factory reset process.
Cisco Unified IP Phone. The QRT feature is installed as part of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation. You can configure users’ Cisco Unified IP Phones with QRT. When you do so, users can report problems with phone calls by pressing the QRT softkey. This softkey is available only when the Cisco Unified IP Phone is in the Connected, Connected Conference, Connected Transfer, and/or OnHook states.
Conceal Ratio changes should indicate greater than 3 percent frame loss. MOS LQK scores can vary based on the codec that the Cisco Unified IP Phone uses. The following codecs provide these maximum MOS LQK scores under normal conditions with zero frame loss: For Cisco Unified Phones 7975G, 7965G, and 7945G: •...
Voice quality metrics do not account for noise or distortion, only frame loss. Where to Go for More Troubleshooting Information If you have additional questions about troubleshooting the Cisco Unified IP Phones, several Cisco.com web sites can provide you with more tips. Choose from the sites available for your access level.
Cleaning the Cisco Unified IP Phone To clean your Cisco Unified IP phone, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the phone and the touchscreen (or phone screen, whichever is applicable). Do not apply liquids or powders directly on the phone. As with all non-weather-proof electronics, liquids and powders can damage the components and cause failures.
Providing Information to Users Via a Website 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. It is important to provide current and thorough information to end users.
Cisco website, Cisco recommends that you provide links to the current documentation. If you do not want to or cannot send users to the Cisco website, Cisco suggests that you download the PDF files and provide them to end users on your website.
