Protected call: The phone is a secure (encrypted and trusted) device on the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager server and is configured as a “Protected Device” in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration.

Administration, the protected phone plays a secure or nonsecure indication tone at the beginning of the
call:
◦
When end-to-end secure media is established through the Secure Real-Time Transfer Protocol
(SRTP) and the call status is secure, the phone plays the secure indication tone (three long beeps
with brief pauses).
◦
When end-to-end nonsecure media is established through the Real-Time Protocol (RTP) and the
call status is nonsecure, the phone plays the nonsecure indication tone (six short beeps with brief
pauses).
If the Play Secure Indication Tone option is disabled (False), no tone is played.

Manager. No secure or nonsecure indication tone is played.
