An Overview of the Cisco Unified IP Phone

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 and 6911 provide voice communication over an Internet Protocol (IP)

network. The Cisco Unified IP Phone functions much like a digital business phone, allowing you to

place and receive phone calls. In addition, the phone includes the following:

• The Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 supports basic features such as hold, redial, transfer, and

conference.

• The Cisco Unified IP Phone 6911 supports features such as mute, hold, transfer, conference, speed

dial, call forward, and more.

A Cisco Unified IP Phone, like other network devices, must be configured and managed. These phones

encode G.711a, G.711µ, G.729a, and iLBC, and decode G.711a, G.711µ, G.729, G.729ab and iLBC.

This chapter includes the following topics:

• Understanding the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 and 6911, page 1-2

• What Networking Protocols are Used?, page 1-6

• What Features are Supported on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 and 6911?, page 1-9

• Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones, page 1-19

• Terminology Differences, page 1-24

Caution Using a cell, mobile, or GSM phone, or two-way radio in close proximity to a Cisco Unified IP Phone

might cause interference. For more information, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation of the

interfering device.
