Command History

Usage Guidelines The description command enables a meaningful alphanumeric description label in the top black bar on

the display screen for a Cisco IP Phone 7960 and Cisco IP Phone 7940 connected to the Cisco IOS

Telephony Service router. The description consists of a text string up to 16 characters in length, including

spaces, and is associated with the first (top) button of the Cisco IP phone.

Examples The following example sets directory number (DN) 5 (extension number 8001) with the description 408

555 1212 for the top line display:

Router(config)# ephone-dn 5

Router(config-ephone-dn)# number 8001

Router(config-ephone-dn)# description 408 555 1212

text-string-with-spaces Definition of the alphanumeric description for the Cisco IP phone. A

text string up to 16 characters in length, including spaces, is used.

Note Although 32 characters can fit in the top line of the phone

display, we recommend using 16 characters. If more than 16

characters are used, the extra characters will erase the

existing time and date display in the black bar.
