Enabling EnergyWise on the Cisco Unified IP Phone

To reduce power consumption, you can configure the phone to sleep (power down) and wake (power up) if your system includes an EnergyWise controller (for example, a Cisco Switch with the EnergyWise feature enabled).

You configure settings in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to enable EnergyWise and configure sleep and wake times. These parameters are closely tied to the phone display configuration parameters.

When EnergyWise is enabled and a sleep time is set, the phone sends a request to the switch to wake it up at the configured time. The switch sends back either an acceptance or a rejection of the request. If the switch rejects the request or does not reply, the phone does not power down. If the switch accepts the request, the idle phone goes to sleep, reducing its power consumption to a predetermined level. A phone that is not idle sets an idle timer, and goes to sleep after the timer expires.

At the scheduled wake time, the system restores power to the phone, waking it up. To wake up the phone before the wake time, you must power on the phone from the switch. For more information, see the switch documentation.

Table 5-3explains the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration fields that control the EnergyWise settings. You configure these fields in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration by choosing Device > Phone. You can also configure EnergyWise parameters in the Enterprise Phone Configuration and Common Phone Profile Configuration windows.
