Chapter 1 An Overview of the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
If the initiator phone is configured for encryption, the barge initiator can barge into an authenticated or
nonsecure call from the encrypted phone. After the barge occurs, Cisco
Unified Communications
Manager classifies the call as nonsecure.
If the initiator phone is configured for encryption, the barge initiator can barge into an encrypted call,
and the phone indicates that the call is encrypted.
A user can barge into an authenticated call, even if the phone that is used to barge is nonsecure. The
authentication icon continues to appear on the authenticated devices in the call, even if the initiator
phone does not support security.
Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
When deploying a new IP telephony system, system administrators and network administrators must
complete several initial configuration tasks to prepare the network for IP
telephony service. For
