Phone Settings Overview
Cisco Unified IP Phones include many configurable network and device settings that you may need to modify
before the phone is functional for your users. You can access these settings, and change many of them, through
menus on the phone.
Cisco Unified IP Phone Menus
The Cisco Unified IP Phone includes the following configuration menus:
•Network Configuration: Provides options for viewing and making a variety of network settings.
•Device Configuration: Provides access to sub-menus from which you can view a variety of non
network-related settings.
•Security Configuration: Provides options for displaying and modifying security settings.
Before you can change option settings on the Network Configuration 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.

•To enter letters by using the keypad, use a corresponding number key. Press the key one or more times
to display a particular letter. For example, press the 2key once for “a,”twice quickly for “b,”and three
times quickly for “c.”After you pause, the cursor automatically advances to allow you to enter the next
letter.
•To enter a period (for example, in an IP address under IPv4 Configurations), press the .(period) softkey
or press *on the keypad.
•To enter a colon (for example, in an IP address under IPv6 Configurations), press the : (colon) softkey
or press * on the keypad.
•Press the << softkey if you make a mistake. This softkey deletes the character to the left of the cursor.
•Press Cancel before pressing the Save softkey to discard any changes that you have made.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone provides several methods that you can use to reset or restore option settings,
