Cisco Unified IP Phones provide traditional telephony functionality, such as call
forwarding and transferring, redialing, speed dialing, and voice messaging system
access. Cisco Unified IP phones also provide a variety of other features. For an
overview of the telephony features that the Cisco Unified IP Phone supports and
for tips on configuring them, see the
Unified IP Phone" section on page
As with other network devices, you must configure Cisco Unified SIP Phone 3951
so that it can access Cisco Unified CallManager 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 an IP address, TFTP server, and subnet
mask. For instructions on configuring the network settings on the Cisco Unified
IP Phones, see Chapter 4, "Configuring Settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone."
Finally, because the Cisco Unified IP Phone is a network device, you can obtain
detailed status information from it directly. This information can assist you with
troubleshooting any problems users might encounter when using their IP phones.
