Monitoring the Cisco Unified IP Phone Remotely
Each Cisco Unified IP Phone has a web page from which you can view a variety of information about
the phone, including:
• Device information
• Network configuration information
• Network statistics
• Device logs
• Streaming statistics
This chapter describes the information that you can obtain from the phone’s web page. You can use this
information to remotely monitor the operation of a phone and to assist with troubleshooting.
You can also obtain much of this information directly from a phone. For more information, see
Chapter 7, “Viewing Model Information, Status, and Statistics on the Cisco Unified IP Phone.”
For more information about troubleshooting the Cisco Unified IP Phone, Chapter 9, “Troubleshooting
and Maintenance.”
