Enabling EnergyWise on the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Field

Description

 

 

Enable Audible Alert

When enabled, instructs the phone to play an audible alert starting at 10 minutes before the

 

time specified in the Phone Off Time field.

 

The audible alert uses the phone ringtone, which briefly plays at specific times during the

 

10-minute alerting period. The alerting ringtone plays at the user’s designated volume

 

level. The audible alert schedule is:

 

10 minutes before power down, play the ringtone four times

 

7 minutes before power down, play the ringtone four times

 

4 minutes before power down, play the ringtone four times

 

30 seconds before power down, play the ringtone 15 times or until the phone powers

 

down

 

This check box applies only if the Enable Power Save Plus list box has one or more days

 

selected.

 

 

EnergyWise Domain

The EnergyWise domain that the phone is in. The maximum length is 127 characters.

 

 

EnergyWise Secret

The security secret password that is used to communicate with the endpoints in the

 

Energywise domain.

 

The maximum length is 127 characters.

 

 

Allow EnergyWise Overrides

This check box determines whether you will allow the EnergyWise domain controller

 

policy to send power-level updates to the phones. The following conditions apply:

 

1. If the phone is in Power Save or at full power and the level is set to any standby level,

 

the phone will go to Power Save when idle and remain there until the next Unified CM

 

scheduled power-level change or user interaction.

 

2. If the phone is in Power Save or at full power and the level is set to any nonoperational

 

level, the phone will power down when idle and remain powered down until the switch

 

reapplies power or the user wakes the phone.

 

For example, assume the Phone Off Time is set to 22:00 (10:00 p.m.), the value in the

 

Phone On Time field is 06:00 (6:00 a.m.), and Enable Power Save Plus has one or more

 

days selected.

 

If EnergyWise directs the phone to turn off at 20:00 (8:00 p.m.), that directive will

 

remain in effect (assuming no phone user intervention occurs) until the configured

 

Phone On Time at 6:00 a.m.

 

At 6 a.m., the phone will turn on and resume receiving its power-level changes from

 

the settings in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.

 

To change the power level on the phone again, EnergyWise must reissue a new

 

power- level change command.

 

Note To disable Power Save Plus, you must uncheck the Allow EnergyWise Overrides

 

check box. Leaving the Allow EnergyWise Overrides checked with no days

 

selected in the Enable Power Save Plus field does not disable Power Save Plus.
