Introducing Your Cisco IP Phone

A Cisco IP Phone is a full-featured telephone that provides voice communication

over the same data network that your computer uses. This phone functions much

like a traditional analog phone, allowing you to place and receive telephone calls.

It also supports features that you have come to expect from a telephone—such as

speed dialing, redial, call transfer, conference calling, and voice messaging

access.

Your Cisco IP Phone offers features that might surprise you. Because it is part of

an IP network, your Cisco IP Phone can provide not only telephony services, but

also data services—including up-to-the-minute information and services from the

network. With a Cisco IP Phone, you have access to a whole range of

communication features that are not available on a traditional telephone.

This guide helps you learn how to use the various features and services available

on your phone. Not all of the features described in this book are available by

default—your system administrator determines the services that are available to

you. You access some phone features and services on the phone itself, while you

customize others on a convenient web page. For information about the User

Options web page, see Chapter 6, “Customizing Your Phone on the Web.”

Note Your company’s phone support team determines which features and services are

available to you and how they will be configured. Some of the features included

in this User Guide might not be available to you or might work differently on your

phone system. Contact your support desk or system administrator if you have

questions about feature availability.
