    Telephony Features Available for the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Secure and Nonsecure 
Indication Tone
When a phone is configured as secure (encrypted 
and trusted) in Cisco Unified CM, it can be given a 
protected status. After that, if desired, the 
protected phone can be configured to play an 
indication tone at the beginning of a call.
Only protected phones hear these secure or 
nonsecure indication tones. Nonprotected phones 
never hear tones. 
If the overall call status changes during the call, the 
indication tone changes accordingly. At that time, 
the protected phone plays the appropriate tone.
A protected phone plays or does not play a tone 
under these circumstances:
  • When the Play Secure Indication Tone option 
is enabled (True):
  –
When end-to-end secure media is 
established and the call status is secure, 
the phone plays the secure indication tone 
(three long beeps with pauses).
  –
When end-to-end nonsecure media is 
established 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, no tone is played.
  • Protected Device—To change the status of 
a secure phone to protected, check the 
“Protected Device” check box in Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager 
Administration > Device > Phone > 
Phone Configuration. 
  • Play Secure Indication Tone—To enable 
the protected phone to play a secure or 
nonsecure indication tone, set the Play 
Secure Indication Tone to True. (The 
default is False.) You set this option in 
Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager Administration > System > 
Service Parameters. Select the server and 
then the Unified CM service. In the 
Service Parameter Configuration window, 
select the option in the Feature - Secure 
Tone area. (The default is False.)
Secure Conference Allows secure phones to place conference calls 
using a secured conference bridge.
As new participants are added by using Confrn, 
Join, cBarge, Barge softkeys or MeetMe 
conferencing, the secure call icon displays as long 
as all participants use secure phones.
The Conference List displays the security level of 
each conference participant. Initiators can remove 
non-secure participants from the Conference List. 
Non-initiators can add or remove conference 
participants if the Advanced Adhoc Conference 
Enabled parameter is set.
