Problems with Phone View

Use the troubleshooting information in this section if an error message appears when the user attempts to use Phone View. Consider the following possible causes:

The problem may be caused by the incorrect configuration of the Cisco Unified CM phone system integration in Cisco Unity Connection Administration.
