Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.5
OL-23092-01
Chapter 5 Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users
Telephony Features Available for the Phone
Private Line Automated
Ringdown (PLAR)
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager
administrator can configure a phone number that
the Cisco Unified IP Phone dials as soon as the
handset goes off hook. This can be useful for
phones that are designated for calling emergency or
“hotline” numbers.
For SIP, refer to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager System
Guide, SIP Dial Rules Configuration.
For SCCP, refer to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration
Guide, Directory Number Configuration
chapter, Configuring PLAR section.
Privacy Prevents users who share a line from adding
themselves to a call and from viewing information
on their phone screens about the call of the other
user.
For more information refer to:
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide, Cisco Unified IP
Phone Configuration.
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager
System Guide, Cisco Unified IP Phones.
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Features and Services Guide Barge and
Privacy.
Programmable line keys The administrator can assign features to line
buttons. Softkeys normally control these features;
for example, New Call, Call Back, End Call, and
Forward All. When the administrator configures
these features on the line buttons, they always
remain visible, so users can have a “hard” New Call
key.
For more information, refer to:
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager
System Guide, Cisco Unified IP Phones.
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide, Phone Button
Template Configuration.
Protected calling Provides a secure (encrypted) connection between
two phones. A security tone is played at the
beginning of the call to indicate that both phones
are protected. Some features, such as conference
calling, shared lines, Extension Mobility, and Join
Across Lines are not available when protected
calling is configured. Protected calls are not
authenticated.
For more information about security, see
Overview of Supported Security Features.
For additional information, refer toCisco
Unified Communications Manager Security
Guide, Configuring a Phone Security Profile.
Quality Reporting Tool
(QRT)
Allows users to use the QRT softkey on a phone to
submit information about problem phone calls.
QRT can be configured for either of two user
modes, depending upon the amount of user
interaction desired with QRT.
For more information refer to:
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager
System Guide, Cisco Unified IP Phones.
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Features and Services Guide, Quality
Report Tool.
Redial Allows users to call the most recently dialed phone
number by pressing a softkey.
Requires no configuration.
