Privacy Prevents users who share a line from adding 
themselves to a call and from viewing information 
on their phone screens about the call of the other 
user.

Programmable line 
keys (PLK)
The administrator can assign features to line 
buttons. Softkeys normally control these features; 
for example, New Call, Call Back, End Call, and 
Forward All. When the administrator configures 
these features on the line buttons, they always 
remain visible, so users can have a hard feature key 
(for example, a hard New Call key).

Protected calling Provides a secure (encrypted) connection between 
two phones. A security tone plays at the beginning 
of the call to indicate that both phones are 
protected. Some features, such as conference 
calling, shared lines, Extension Mobility, and Join 
Across Lines are not available when protected 
calling is configured. Protected calls are not 
authenticated.
For more information about security, see 
Overview of Supported Security Features, 
page 1-13. 
For additional information, see Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Security Guide. 
Quality Reporting Tool 
(QRT)
Allows users to use the QRT softkey on a phone to 
submit information about problem phone calls. 
QRT can be configured for either of two user 
modes, depending upon the amount of user 
interaction desired with QRT.
