If you configure security-related settings in Cisco Unified CallManager
Administration, the phone configuration file will contain sensitive information.
To ensure the privacy of a configuration file, you must configure it for encryption.
For more information, refer to the “Configuring Encrypted Phone Configuration
Files” chapter in Cisco
Unified CallManager Security Guide.
SIP Dial Rules
For Cisco Unified IP Phones running under SIP, the administrator uses dial rules
to configure SIP phone dial plans. These dial plans must be associated with a SIP
phone device to enable dial plans to be sent to the configuration file. If the
administrator does not configure a SIP phone dial plan, the phone does not display
any indication of a dial plan. In this case, you must press the Dial softkey, unless
the phone supports key press markup language (KPML).
For more information on configuring SIP dial rules, refer to the
Cisco
Unified CallManager Administration Guide.
Understanding the Phone Startup Process
When connecting to the VoIP network, the Cisco IP Phone goes through a
standard startup process, as described in
Table 2-3. Depending on your specific
network configuration, not all of these steps may occur on your
Cisco
Unified IP Phone.
