Usage Notes
Cisco Unified IP Phones use TCP to connect to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and to access XML
services.
When security is implemented, Cisco Unified IP Phones
use the TLS protocol when securely registering with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager.
TFTP requires a TFTP server in your network, which can be
automatically identified from the DHCP server. If you want
a phone to use a TFTP server other than the one specified
by the DHCP server, you must manually assign TFTP server
from the Network Configuration menu on the phone.
Cisco Unified IP Phones transmit and receive RTP streams,
which utilize UDP.
