Providing Information to Users Via a Website

If you are a system administrator, you are likely the primary source of information for Cisco Unified IP

Phone users in your network or company. It is important to provide current and thorough information to

end users.

Cisco recommends that you create a web page on your internal support site that provides end users with

important information about their Cisco Unified IP Phones.

Consider including the following types of information on this site:

• How Users Obtain Support for the Cisco Unified IP Phone, page A-1

• How Users Configure Phone Features, page A-2

• How Users Access a Voice Messaging System, page A-2

• For information using a voice messaging system, refer to Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 and 6911

User Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager., page A-2

How Users Obtain Support for the Cisco Unified IP Phone

To successfully use some of the features on the Cisco Unified IP Phone (including speed dial and voice

messaging system options), users must receive information from you or from your network team or be

able to contact you for assistance. Make sure to provide end users with the names of people to contact

for assistance and with instructions for contacting those people.

Giving Users Access to the User Options Web Pages

Before a user can access the User Options web pages, you must use Cisco Unified Communications

Manager Administration to add the user to a standard Cisco Unified Communications Manager end user

group: choose User Management > User Groups. For additional information, refer to:

• “User Group Configuration” chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration

Guide

• “Role Configuration” chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide
