Accessing IP Phone Information

Accessing IP Phone Information

Cisco Unified IP Phones have an embedded web server to provide a programming interface for external applications and a debugging and management interface for system administrators.

You can access the administrative pages using a standard web browser and pointing to the IP address of the phone with: /http://<phoneIP>/, where phoneIP is the IP address of the specific phone.

These device information pages are available in either HTML format, for manual debugging purposes, or in XML format for automation purposes. Table 6-1lists the available URLs and their purpose.
