Configuring Corporate Directories

•speed 1 and speed 2—for speed dialing

•redial—for dialing the most recently dialed number again

If you change these button assignments, you can also update their corresponding labels on the Cisco IP Phone 7910. The Cisco IP Phone 7910 shipped with extra mylar labels on a perforated sheet. After printing the labels, you can easily remove them from this sheet.

These label sheets have different textures—one smooth side and one textured side; the textured side is labeled “front.” This is the side that users contact when pressing the buttons. The type of printing method used determines the side to print on. To avoid ink rubbing off on users’ fingers, choose a printing method that prints on the smooth side of the labels.

Use these specifications to print on the labels:

•Text size—10 point (on a PC-compatible computer) or 12 point (on a Macintosh-compatible computer)

•Text font—Univers 65 bold oblique

•Text color—PMS 413C

•Text position—2.533 mm above the button hole openings

Configuring Corporate Directories

Cisco IP Phone models 7960 and 7940 can store a directory of employee names and phone numbers. Although you access the directory from the IP Phone, you must configure the directory before users can access it. To use the corporate directory, you must have users entered into a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory configured with Cisco CallManager.

To set up these features, open Cisco CallManager and select User > Global

Directory. Refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide, the

Cisco CallManager System Guide, or context-sensitive help in the

Cisco CallManager Administration application for details.
