Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones
Note Protected calling is supported for conversations between two phones. Some features, such as conference
calling, shared lines, Cisco Extension Mobility, and Join Across Lines are not available when protected
calling is configured.
Call Security Interactions and Restrictions
Cisco Unified CM checks the phone security status when conferences are established and changes the
security indication for the conference or blocks the completion of the call to maintain integrity and also
security in the system. Table 1-7 provides information about changes to call security levels when
using Barge.
Table 1-8 provides information about changes to conference security levels depending on the initiator’s
phone security level, the security levels of participants, and the availability of secure conference bridges.
