What Features are Supported on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 8941 and 8945?

Feature Overview

Cisco Unified IP Phones provide traditional telephony functionality, such as call forwarding and transferring, redialing, speed dialing, conference calling, and voice messaging system access. Cisco Unified IP phones also provide a variety of other features. For an overview of the telephony features that the Cisco Unified IP Phone supports and for tips on configuring them, see the “Telephony Features Available for the Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 5-1.

As with other network devices, you must configure Cisco Unified IP Phones to prepare them to access Cisco Unified CM and the rest of the IP network. By using DHCP, you have fewer settings to configure on a phone, but if your network requires it, you can manually configure an IP address, TFTP server, subnet information, and so on. For instructions on configuring the network settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phones, see Chapter 4, “Configuring Settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone.”

Cisco Unified IP Phones can interact with other services and devices on your IP network to provide enhanced functionality. For example, you can integrate Cisco Unified CM with the corporate Lightweight Directory Access Protocol 3 (LDAP3) standard directory to enable users to search for co-worker contact information directly from their IP phones. You can also use XML to enable users to access information such as weather, stocks, quote of the day, and other web-based information. For information about configuring such services, see the “Join and Direct Transfer Policy” section on page 5-16and the “Setting Up Services” section on page 5-21.

Finally, because the Cisco Unified IP Phone is a network device, you can obtain detailed status information from it directly. This information can assist you with troubleshooting any problems users might encounter when using their IP phones. See Chapter 7, “Viewing Model Information, Status, and Statistics on the Cisco Unified IP Phone,” for more information.

Configuring Telephony Features

You can modify additional settings for the Cisco Unified IP Phone from Cisco Unified CM Administration. Use Cisco Unified CM Administration to set up phone registration criteria and calling search spaces, to configure corporate directories and services, and to modify phone button templates, among other tasks. See the “Telephony Features Available for the Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 5-1and the Cisco Unified CM documentation for additional information.

For more information about Cisco Unified CM Administration, refer to Cisco Unified CM documentation, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide. You can also use the context-sensitive help available within the application for guidance.
