Chapter B Setting Up and Using a Cisco Unified IP Phone as a Cisco IPICS Push-to-Talk Device

Using the Cisco IPICS Service on a Cisco Unified IP Phone

for your Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921, Cisco recommends that you maintain a backup battery for use with your phone. For more information about the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921, refer to the Cisco Unified IP Phone documentation that is available at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/tsd_products_ support_series_home.html

•You can customize the softkeys on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920/7921 to enable direct access to the Services menu. For details, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager documentation at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/tsd_products_ support_series_home.html

•The PTT button on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921 does not require any special configuration. A user can use either this button or the PTT softkey to communicate in a VTG or a channel. The PTT button cannot be used to latch a channel. To latch a channel, you must press the Latch softkey.

To access the Cisco IPICS service from a Cisco Unified IP Phone, perform the following procedure:

Procedure

Step 1 Access the Services menu on the phone.

The procedure for accessing the Service menu varies by phone model. Refer to your Cisco IP Phone documentation for specific instructions.

Step 2 Choose the Cisco IPICS service, then press the Select softkey.

If the Cisco IPICS service is configured to prompt for login credentials, continue to Step 3.

If the Cisco IPICS service is not configured to prompt for login credentials and if more than one channel or VTG is assigned to you and activated for your use, Cisco IPICS displays the list of these channels and VTGs. In this case, go to Step 4.

If the Cisco IPICS service is not configured to prompt for login credentials and if only one channel or VTG is assigned to you and activated for your use, the channel or VTG becomes active automatically. In this case, go to Step 5.
