Accessing Phone Menus and Local Features
Accessing Phone Menus and Local Features
When the Cisco Unified IP Phone is registered with Cisco Unified Communications Manager
(Cisco Unified CM), you access local features by pressing the line buttons that are configured for
the features.
By default, line button 21 accesses a voice messaging system, line button 22 displays the Directories
menu, line button 23 activates a headset, and line button 24 displays the Application menu. To change
these programmable button assignments, use Cisco CM Administration. For additional information, see
Modifying Phone Button Templates, page 5-18.
By default, when a phone is starting up and before it registers with Cisco Unified CM, the last softkey
on the right becomes the Settings softkey. By pressing this key, you can access the phone configuration
menus. In this way, you can make configuration changes if needed to allow the phone to complete its
startup and registration process successfully, and you can obtain information for troubleshooting.
An option in the phone configuration file blocks access to phone settings. If the phone has registered and
downloaded a configuration previously that blocks access to settings, the Settings softkey is not
available. In this case, you must perform a factory reset of the phone to cause the Settings softkey
to appear.
