Cisco recommends that you create a web page on your internal support site that provides users with important information about their Cisco Unified IP Phones.
To successfully use some of the features on the Cisco Unified IP Phone (including speed dial and voice message system options), users must receive information from you or from your network team or be able to contact you for assistance. Make sure to provide users with the names of people to contact for assistance and with instructions for contacting those people.
Before a user can access the User Options web pages, you must use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to add the user to a standard Cisco Unified Communications Manager End User group: choose . For more information, see:
