Monitoring the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone Remotely
Each Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone has a web page from which you can view a variety of information about the phone, including:
•Devices information
•Network configuration
•Network statistics
•Call statistics
•Wireless information
This chapter describes the information that you can obtain from the phone's web page. You can use this information to remotely monitor the operation of a phone and to assist with troubleshooting.
You can also obtain much of this information directly from a phone. For more information, see Chapter 8 "Viewing Status, Statistics, and Firmware Information on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920."
For more information about troubleshooting the Cisco Unified IP Phone, Chapter 10 "Troubleshooting the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920."

Accessing the Web Page for a Phone
To access the web page for a Cisco Unified IP Phone, perform the following steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Obtain the IP address of the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone using one of these methods:
•Search for the phone in Cisco Unified CallManager by choosing Device > Phone. Phones registered with Cisco Unified CallManager display the IP address on the Find and List Phones web page and at the top of the Phone Configuration web page.
•On the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone, press Menu > Network Config > Current Config and then scroll to the IP Address option.
Step 2 Open a web browser and enter the following URL, where IP_address is the IP address of the Cisco Unified IP Phone:
http://<IP_address>
The web page for a Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone includes these topics:
•Device Information—Displays device settings and related information for the phone. For more information, see the "Device Information" section.

MOS
|
Score that is an objective estimate of the mean opinion score (MOS) for listening quality that rates from 5 (excellent) to 1 (bad). This score is based on audible concealment events due to frame loss in the preceding 8-second interval of the voice stream. For more information, see the "Monitoring the Voice Quality of Calls" section.
Note The MOS score can vary based on the type of codec that the Cisco Unified IP Phone uses.

Average MOS score observed for the entire voice stream.
|
Minimum MOS
|
Lowest MOS score observed from start of the voice stream.
|
Maximum MOS
|
Baseline or highest MOS score observed from start of the voice stream.
These codecs provide the following maximum MOS score under normal conditions with no frame loss:
•G.711 gives 4.5
•G.729 A /AB gives 3.7
|
Average Conceal
|
Total number of concealment frames divided by total number of speech frames received from start of the voice stream.
|
Current Conceal
|
Ratio of concealment frames to speech frames in preceding 3-second interval of active speech. If using voice activity detection (VAD), a longer interval might be required to accumulate 3 seconds of active speech.
|
Maximum Conceal
|

|
Call Reference ID
|
Unique call identifier.
