before sending and receiving calls.

Understanding How the Cisco Unified IP Phone Interacts with
Cisco
Unified CallManager
Cisco Unified CallManager is an open and industry-standard call processing
system. Cisco
Unified CallManager software sets up and tears down calls
between phones, integrating traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP
network. Cisco
Unified CallManager manages the components of the IP
telephony system—the phones, the access gateways, and the resources necessary
for such features as call conferencing and route planning.
Cisco
Unified CallManager also provides authentication and encryption if
configured for the telephony system.
For information about configuring Cisco Unified CallManager to work with the
IP devices described in this chapter, refer to Cisco
Unified CallManager
Administration Guide, Cisco
Unified CallManager System Guide, and to
Cisco
Unified CallManager Security Guide.
For an overview of security functionality for the Cisco Unified IP Phone, see the
“Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones” section on
