Chapter 91 Cisco Unified IP Phone Configuration
Phone Configuration Settings
Is Active Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the Is Active check box for licensing and
registration of phones.
For a phone that uses a real MAC address, not for a phone that uses a dummy MAC address
that was created via BAT, the check box displays as checked and disabled.
For a dummy phone that uses a dummy MAC address that was created via BAT, the Is Active
check box displays as unchecked and enabled. If you manually convert the dummy MAC
address to a real MAC address in the Phone Configuration window, check this check box,
which ensures that the phone can register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and
that licensing consumes device license units for the phone.
If you use the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Register Phone Tool (TAPS), the
tool updates the Is Active check box in the Phone Configuration window to display as checked
and disabled after the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Register Phone Tool
applies the device name to the phone that uses the dummy MAC address.
If the Is Active check box displays as checked and disabled, licensing consumes device license
units for the phone, and the phone can register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Retry Video Call as Audio This check box applies only to video endpoints that receive a call. If this phone receives a call
that does not connect as video, the call tries to connect as an audio call.
By default, the system checks this check box to specify that this device should immediately
retry a video call as an audio call (if it cannot connect as a video call) prior to sending the call
to call control for rerouting.
If you uncheck this check box, a video call that fails to connect as video does not try to
establish as an audio call. The call then fails to call control, and call control routes the call via
automatic alternate routing (AAR) and/or route/hunt list.
Ignore Presentation
Indicators (internal calls
only)
Check this check box to configure call display restrictions on a call-by-call basis. When this
check box is checked, Cisco Unified Communications Manager ignores any presentation
restriction that is received for internal calls.
Use this configuration in combination with the calling line ID presentation and connected line
ID presentation configuration at the translation pattern level. Together, these settings allow
you to configure call display restrictions to selectively present or block calling and/or
connected line display information for each call.
See Table 60-1 in the “Translation Pattern Configuration Settings” section on page 60-1 for
more information about the calling line ID presentation and the connected line ID presentation
parameters.
For more information about call display restrictions, refer to the “Call Display Restrictions”
chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.
Allow Control of Device
from CTI
Check this check box to allow CTI to control and monitor this device.
If the associated directory number specifies a shared line, the check box should be enabled as
long as at least one associated device specifies a combination of device type and protocol that
CTI supports.
Logged into Hunt Group This check box, which gets checked by default for all phones, indicates that the phone is
currently logged in to a hunt list (group). When the phone gets added to a hunt list, the
administrator can log the user in or out by checking (and unchecking) this check box.
Users use the softkey on the phone to log their phone in or out of the hunt list.
