Understanding Interactions with Other Cisco Unified IP Telephony Products
Understanding How the Cisco Unified IP Phone Interacts with Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is an open and industry-standard call processing system.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager software sets up and tears down calls between phones,
integrating traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP network. Cisco Unified Communications
Manager manages the components of the IP telephony system—the phones, the access gateways, and the
resources necessary for features such as call conferencing and route planning. Cisco Unified
Communications Manager also provides:
• Firmware for phones
• Authentication and encryption (if configured for the telephony system)
• Configuration file and CTL file, via TFTP service
• Phone registration
• Call preservation, so that a media session continues if signaling is lost between the primary
Communications Manager and a phone
For information about configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager to work with the IP devices
described in this chapter, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, Cisco
Unified Communications Manager System Guide, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager 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 page 1-11.
Note If the Cisco Unified IP Phone model that you want to configure does not appear in the Phone Type
drop-down list in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, go to the following URL and

Understanding How the Cisco Unified IP Phone Interacts with the VLAN
The Cisco Unified IP Phones 7962G, 7942G, 7961G, 7961G-GE, 7941G, and 7941G-GE have an
internal Ethernet switch, enabling forwarding of packets to the phone, and to the access port and the
network port on the back of the phone.
If a computer is connected to the access port, the computer and the phone share the same physical link
to the switch and share the same port on the switch. This shared physical link has the following
implications for the VLAN configuration on the network:
• The current VLANs might be configured on an IP subnet basis. However, additional IP addresses
might not be available to assign the phone to the same subnet as other devices connected to the same
port.
• Data traffic present on the VLAN supporting phones might reduce the quality of Voice-over-IP
traffic.
• Network security may indicate a need to isolate the VLAN voice traffic from the VLAN data traffic.
