Phone Settings Overview
The Cisco Unified IP Phone includes many configurable network settings that you may need to modify before
the phone is functional for your users. You can access these settings, and change some of them, through menus
on the phone. Settings that are display-only on the phone are configured in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration.
Cisco Unified IP Phone Configuration Menus
The Cisco Unified IP Phone includes the following configuration menus:
Network Setup: Provides options for viewing and making a variety of network settings.
•
IPv4 Configuration: A submenu of the Network Setup menu, the IPv4 menu items provide additional
•
network options for viewing and setting.
IPv6 Configuration: A submenu of the Network Setup menu, the IPv6 menu items provide additional
•
network options for viewing and setting.
Before you can change option settings on the Network Setup menu, you must unlock options for editing.
You can control whether a phone user has access to phone settings by using the Settings Access field in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone Configuration window.
