Cisco IP Phone Configuration

---

Cisco IP Phones as full-featured telephones can plug directly into your IP network. You use the Cisco CallManager Administration Phone Configuration window to configure the following Cisco IP Phones and devices:

•Cisco IP Phone 7900 family

•Cisco IP Phone model 30 VIP

•Cisco IP Phone model 12 SP+

•H.323 clients

•Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) ports

•Cisco IP Communicator

•Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 telephone adapter

•Cisco VG248 ports (analog phones)

---

Note You configure the Cisco VG248 gateway from the Gateway Configuration window of Cisco CallManager Administration. From this window, you configure the gateway analog phone ports (doing this takes you to the Phone Configuration window). When you want to update the VG248 ports, use the Phone Configuration window. The following procedures apply to update or delete this phone type. See the "Gateway Configuration" section for Cisco VG248 Gateway configuration information.

---

After you add a Cisco IP Phone to Cisco CallManager Administration, information from the RIS Data Collector service displays in the Phone Configuration window. When available, the IP address of the device and the name of the Cisco CallManager with which the device registered display.

The following topics provide information about working with and configuring Cisco IP Phones in Cisco CallManager Administration:

Configuring Cisco IP Phones

You can automatically add phones to the Cisco CallManager database by using auto-registration, manually add phones by using the phone configuration windows, or add phones in groups with the Cisco Bulk Administration Tool (BAT).

By enabling auto-registration, you can automatically add a Cisco IP Phone to the Cisco CallManager database when you connect the phone to your IP telephony network. During auto-registration, Cisco CallManager assigns the next available sequential directory number to the phone. In many cases, you might not want to use auto-registration; for example, if you want to assign a specific directory number to a phone.

---

Note Cisco recommends using auto-registration in small configurations or testing labs only.

If you configure the clusterwide security mode to secure mode, Cisco CallManager disables auto-registration.

---

If you do not use auto-registration, you must manually add phones to the Cisco CallManager database or use BAT. BAT, a plug-in application, makes it possible for system administrators to perform batch add, modify, and delete operations on large numbers of Cisco IP Phones. Refer to the Bulk Administration Tool Guide for Cisco CallManager for detailed instructions on using BAT.

After you add a Cisco IP Phone to Cisco CallManager Administration, the RIS Data Collector service displays the device name, registration status, and the IP address of the Cisco CallManager to which the phone is registered in the Phone Configuration window.

For information on how to configure phones as well as H.323 clients, CTI ports, and other devices from Cisco CallManager Administration, see the following topics:

Displaying the MAC Address of a Phone

The Media Access Control (MAC) address comprises a unique, 12-character, hexadecimal number that identifies a Cisco IP Phone or other hardware device. Locate the number on a label on the bottom of the phone (for example, 000B6A409C405 for Cisco IP Phone 7900 family models or SS-00-0B-64-09-C4-05 for Cisco IP Phone models SP 12+ and 30 VIP). Cisco CallManager makes the MAC address a required field for Cisco IP Phone device configuration. When entering the MAC address in Cisco CallManager fields, do not use spaces or dashes and do not include the "SS" that may precede the MAC address on the label.

For more information on displaying the MAC Address or additional configuration settings on Cisco IP Phones, refer to the Cisco IP Phone Administration Guide for Cisco CallManager that supports the phone model. To display the MAC address for the Cisco IP Phone model 12 Series and Cisco IP Phone model 30 Series phones or the Cisco VG248 Gateway, perform the following tasks:

•Cisco IP Phone Models 12 (SP +) Series and 30 Series (VIP)—Press ** to display the MAC address on the second line of the LCD display.

•Cisco VG248 phone ports—The MAC address specifies the endpoint from the Gateway Configuration window of Cisco CallManager Administration. See the "Gateway Configuration" section for configuration information.

•Cisco IP Communicator—Get the MAC address from the network interface of the client PC on which you want the Cisco IP Communicator application installed.

Calling Search Space	From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate calling search space (CSS). A calling search space comprises a collection of partitions that are searched to determine how a dialed number should be routed. The calling search space for the device and the calling search space for the directory number get used together. The directory number CSS takes precedence over the device CSS. For more information, refer to Partitions and Calling Search Spaces in the Cisco CallManager System Guide. For configuration information about calling search space for phones, see the "Calling Search Space" section.
AAR Calling Search Space	Choose the appropriate calling search space for the device to use when it performs automated alternate routing (AAR). The AAR calling search space specifies the collection of route partitions that are searched to determine how to route a collected (originating) number that is otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. For configuration information about calling search space for phones, see the "Calling Search Space" section.
Media Resource Group List	Choose the appropriate Media Resource Group List. A Media Resource Group List comprises a prioritized grouping of media resource groups. An application chooses the required media resource, such as a Music On Hold server, from the available media resources according to the priority order that is defined in a Media Resource Group List. If you choose <none>, Cisco CallManager uses the Media Resource Group that is defined in the device pool. For more information, see the "Media Resource Management" section in the Cisco CallManager System Guide.
User Hold Audio Source	To specify the audio source that plays when a user initiates a hold action, click the drop-down arrow and choose an audio source from the list that displays. If you do not choose an audio source, Cisco CallManager uses the audio source that is defined in the device pool or the system default if the device pool does not specify an audio source ID. Note You define audio sources in the Music On Hold Audio Source Configuration window. For access, choose Service > Music On Hold.
Network Hold Audio Source	To specify the audio source that is played when the network initiates a hold action, click the drop-down arrow and choose an audio source from the list that displays. If you do not choose an audio source, Cisco CallManager uses the audio source that is defined in the device pool or the system default if the device pool does not specify an audio source ID. Note You define audio sources in the Music On Hold Audio Source Configuration window. For access, choose Service > Music On Hold.
Location	Choose the appropriate location for this Cisco IP Phone. The location specifies the total bandwidth that is available for calls to and from this location. A location setting of None means that the locations feature does not keep track of the bandwidth that this Cisco IP Phone consumes.
User Locale	From the drop-down list box, choose the locale that is associated with the phone user interface. The user locale identifies a set of detailed information to support users, including language and font. Cisco CallManager makes this field available only for phone models that support localization. Note If no user locale is specified, Cisco CallManager uses the user locale that is associated with the device pool. Note If the users require information to be displayed (on the phone) in any language other than English, verify that the locale installer is installed before configuring user locale. Refer to the Cisco IP Telephony Locale Installer documentation.
Network Locale	From the drop-down list box, choose the locale that is associated with the phone. The network locale contains a definition of the tones and cadences that the phone in a specific geographic area uses. Cisco CallManager makes this field available only for phone models that support localization. Note If no network locale is specified, Cisco CallManager uses the network locale that is associated with the device pool. Note If users require country-specific tones to be played (on the phone), verify that the locale is installed before configuring the network locale. Refer to the Cisco IP Telephony Locale Installer documentation.
Device Security Mode	This field displays only if the phone model supports authentication or encryption. From the drop-down list box, choose the mode that you want to set for the device: •Use System Default—The phone uses the value that you specified for the enterprise parameter, Device Security Mode. •Non-secure—No security features exist for the phone. A TCP connection opens to Cisco CallManager. •Authenticated—Cisco CallManager provides integrity and authentication for the phone. A TLS connection using NULL/SHA opens. •Encrypted—Cisco CallManager provides integrity, authentication, and encryption for the phone. A TLS connection using AES128/SHA opens. Tip The options in the drop-down box display only if the phone model supports the device security mode. If the phone model does not support encryption, then the option does not display.
Signal Packet Capture Mode	This setting exists for troubleshooting encryption only; packet capturing may cause high CPU usage or call-processing interruptions. Choose one of the following options from the drop-down list box: •Real-Time Mode—Cisco CallManager sends decrypted or nonencrypted messages over a secure channel to analyzing devices. A TLS connection opens between Cisco CallManager and the TAC debugging tool. After authentication occurs, Cisco CallManager sends the SCCP messages to all connected real-time debugging tools; this action occurs only for the chosen devices where you configured packet capturing. This mode eliminates sniffing over the network. •Batch Processing Mode—Cisco CallManager writes the decrypted or nonencrypted messages to file, and the system encrypts each file. On a daily basis, the system creates a new file with a new encryption key. Cisco CallManager, which stores the file for seven days, also stores the keys that encrypt the file in a secure location. Cisco CallManager stores the file in C:\Program Files\Cisco\PktCap. A single file contains the time stamp, source IP address, destination IP address, SCCP message length, and the SCCP message.The debugging tool uses HTTPS, administrator username and password, and the specified day to request a single encrypted file that contains the captured packets. Likewise, the tool requests the key information to decrypt the encrypted compressed file. Tip For more information on these options, refer to the Cisco CallManager Security Guide.
Packet Capture Duration	This setting exists for troubleshooting encryption only; packet capturing may cause high CPU usage or call-processing interruptions. This field specifies the maximum number of minutes that is allotted for one session of packet capturing. The default equals 60.
Built In Bridge	Enable or disable the built-in conference bridge for the barge feature by using the Built In Bridge drop-down list box (choose On, Off, or Default). For more configuration information, refer to Barge and Privacy in the Cisco CallManager Features and Services Guide.
Privacy	For each phone that wants Privacy, choose On in the Privacy drop-down list box. For more configuration information, refer to Barge and Privacy in the Cisco CallManager Features and Services Guide.
Signaling Port	This field applies only to H.323 devices. The value designates the H.225 signaling port that this device uses. Default value specifies 1720. Valid values range from 1 to 65535.
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.
Video Capabilities Enabled/disabled	This check box turns video capabilities on and off.
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 CallManager 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 26-1 in the "Translation Pattern Configuration Settings" section 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 CallManager Features and Services Guide.
Wait for Far End H.245 Terminal Capability Set	This field applies only to H.323 devices. This check box specifies that Cisco CallManager waits to receive the far-end H.245 Terminal Capability Set before it sends its H.245 Terminal Capability Set. By default, the system checks this box. To specify that Cisco CallManager should initiate capabilities exchange, uncheck this box.
Phone Button Template Information
Phone Button Template	Choose the appropriate phone button template. The phone button template determines the configuration of buttons on a phone and identifies which feature (line, speed dial, and so on) is used for each button. Cisco CallManager does not make this field available for H.323 clients or CTI ports.
Softkey Template Information
Softkey Template	Choose the appropriate softkey template. The softkey template determines the configuration of the softkeys on Cisco IP Phones. Leave this field blank if the device pool contains the assigned softkey template.

H.323 Information
Outgoing Caller ID Pattern	For incoming calls to the phone, enter the pattern, from 0 to 24 digits, that you want to use for caller ID.
Calling Party Selection	Choose the directory number that is sent on an outbound call on a gateway. The following options specify which directory number is sent: •Originator—Send the directory number of the calling device. •First Redirect Number—Send the directory number of the redirecting device. •Last Redirect Number—Send the directory number of the last device to redirect the call. •First Redirect Number (External)—Send the external directory number of the redirecting device. •Last Redirect Number (External)—Send the external directory number of the last device to redirect the call.
Calling Party Presentation	Choose whether the Cisco CallManager transmits or blocks caller ID. Choose Allowed if you want the Cisco CallManager to send caller ID. Choose Restricted if you do not want the Cisco CallManager to send caller ID.
Display IE Delivery	This check box enables delivery of the display information element (IE) in SETUP and CONNECT messages for the calling and called party name delivery service. The default setting checks this check box.
Redirecting Number IE Delivery - Outbound	Check this check box to include the Redirecting Number IE in the outgoing SETUP message from the Cisco CallManager to indicate the first redirecting number and the redirecting reason of the call when the call is forwarded. Uncheck the check box to exclude the first redirecting number and the redirecting reason from the outgoing SETUP message. You use Redirecting Number IE for voice-messaging integration only. If your configured voice-messaging system supports Redirecting Number IE, you should check the check box. Note The default setting leaves this check box unchecked.
Redirecting Number IE Delivery - Inbound	Check this check box to accept the Redirecting Number IE in the incoming SETUP message to the Cisco CallManager. Uncheck the check box to exclude the Redirecting Number IE in the incoming SETUP message to the Cisco CallManager. You use Redirecting Number IE for voice-messaging integration only. If your configured voice-messaging system supports Redirecting Number IE, you should check the check box. Note Default leaves the check box unchecked.
Media Termination Point Required	Indicate whether a media termination point (MTP) is used to implement features that H.323 does not support (such as hold and transfer). Check the Media Termination Point Required check box if you want to use a media termination point to implement features. Uncheck the Media Termination Point Required check box if you do not want to use a media termination point to implement features. Use this check box only for H.323 clients and those H.323 devices that do not support the H.245 empty capabilities set or if you want media streaming to terminate through a single source. If you check this box to require an MTP and this device becomes the endpoint of a video call, the call will be audio only.
Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) Information
MLPP Domain (e.g., "0000FF")	Enter a hexadecimal value between 0 and FFFFFF for the MLPP domain that is associated with this device. If you leave this field blank, this device inherits its MLPP domain from the value set for the device's device pool. If the device pool does not have an MLPP domain setting, this device inherits its MLPP domain from the value set for the MLPP Domain Identifier enterprise parameter.
MLPP Indication	If available, this setting specifies whether a device that is capable of playing precedence tones will use the capability when it places an MLPP precedence call. From the drop-down list box, choose a setting to assign to this device from the following options: •Default—This device inherits its MLPP indication setting from its device pool. •Off—This device does not handle nor process indication of an MLPP precedence call. •On—This device does handle and process indication of an MLPP precedence call. Note Do not configure a device with the following combination of settings: MLPP Indication is set to Off or Default (when default is Off) while MLPP Preemption is set to Forceful. Note Turning on MLPP Indication (at the enterprise parameter, device pool, or device level) disables normal Ring Setting behavior for the lines on a device, unless MLPP Indication is turned off (overridden) for the device.
MLPP Preemption	If available, this setting specifies whether a device that is capable of preempting calls in progress will use the capability when it places an MLPP precedence call. From the drop-down list box, choose a setting to assign to this device from the following options: •Default—This device inherits its MLPP preemption setting from its device pool. •Disabled—This device does not allow preemption of lower precedence calls to take place when necessary for completion of higher precedence calls. •Forceful—This device allows preemption of lower precedence calls to take place when necessary for completion of higher precedence calls. Note Do not configure a device with the following combination of settings: MLPP Indication is set to Off or Default (when default is Off) while MLPP Preemption is set to Forceful.
Gatekeeper Information
Gatekeeper Name	This field specifies the name of the gatekeeper that controls the H.323 client. Ensure the gatekeeper is configured in Cisco CallManager before an H.323 client is allowed to specify the gatekeeper in its configuration. Default specifies empty.
E.164	Always use a unique E.164 number. Do not use null value.
Technology Prefix	This field specifies a number ending with the # sign that describes the capability of an endpoint in a zone. This field has no impact if via Zone configuration can be used. Default specifies 1#*. Do not use null value.
Zone	This field specifies the zone name of the zone that the gatekeeper manages. Do not use the following values: same zone name for the H.323 client and trunk; null.
Gatekeeper Controlled H.323 Client	This check box enables the gatekeeper control of the H.323 client.

Directory Number Configuration Settings

Table 57-3 describes the fields that are available in the Directory Number Configuration window. Table 57-4 describes the directory number status area on the Directory Number Configuration window (see Figure 57-4).

Table 57-3 Directory Number Configuration Settings 

Field	Description
Directory Number
Directory Number	Enter a dialable phone number. Values can include numeric characters and route pattern wildcards and special characters except for (.) and (@). Note When a pattern is used as a directory number, the display on the phone and the caller ID that display on the dialed phone will both contain characters other than digits. To avoid this, Cisco recommends that you provide a value for Display (Internal Caller ID), Line text label, and External phone number mask. Table 57-3 describes these fields. The directory number that you enter can appear in more than one partition. Note If a JTAPI or TAPI application controls or monitors a device, you should not configure multiple instances of the same DN (with different partitions) on that device. Shared Line next to the directory number means that the directory number appears on more than one device in the same partition. Refer to "Directory Numbers" in the Cisco CallManager System Guide for more information.
Partition	Choose the partition to which the directory number belongs. Make sure that the directory number that you enter in the Directory Number field is unique within the partition that you choose. If you do not want to restrict access to the directory number, choose <None> for the partition. You can configure the number of partitions that display in this drop-down list box by using the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter. If more partitions exist than the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter specifies, the ellipsis button (...) displays next to the drop-down list box. Click the ... button to display the Select Partition window. Enter a partial partition name in the List items where Name contains field. Click the desired partition name in the list of partitions that displays in the Select item to use box and click OK. Note To set the maximum list box items, choose System > Enterprise Parameters and choose CCMAdmin Parameters.
Active	To view this check box on the Directory Number Configuration window, access an unassigned directory number from the Route Plan Report window. Checking this check box allows calls to this DN to be forwarded (if forwarding is configured). If check box is not checked, Cisco CallManager ignores the DN.
Update Directory Number of All Devices Sharing This Line	This check box displays for shared line directory numbers only. Check this check box to change the directory number of all devices that share this directory number. Leave this check box unchecked to only change the directory number or partition for this device (the other devices that share this directory number will remain unchanged).
Directory Number Settings
Voice Mail Profile	Choose from list of Voice Mail Profiles that are defined in the Voice Mail Profile Configuration. The first option specifies <None>, which is the current default Voice Mail Profile that is configured in the Voice Mail Profile Configuration.
Calling Search Space	From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate calling search space. A calling search space comprises a collection of partitions that are searched for numbers that are called from this directory number. The value that you choose applies to all devices that are using this directory number. For configuration information about calling search space for directory numbers, see the "Calling Search Space" section. Changes result in an update of the numbers that are listed in the Call Pickup Group field. You can configure calling search space for Forward All, Forward Busy, Forward No Answer, and Forward on Failure directory numbers. The value that you choose applies to all devices that are using this directory number. If you set the Forward All Calling Search Space field to <None>, Cisco CallManager uses the calling search spaces of the line and the phone when the user forwards calls by using the Cisco IP Phone User Options windows or the CFwdAll softkey on the phone. If you want to restrict users from forwarding calls on their phones, you must choose a restrictive calling search space from the Forward All Calling Search Space field; for example, you have two calling search spaces: Building and PSTN. The Building calling search space only allows users to call within the building, while the PSTN calling search space allows users to call within and outside the building. You assign the phone to the Building calling search space and the line on your phone to the PSTN calling search space. If you set the Call Forward All calling search space to <None>, Cisco CallManager can forward calls to any number within the PSTN or building calling search spaces. To prevent the user from forwarding calls to numbers outside the building, set the Call Forward All calling search space to Building. For more information, refer to Partitions and Calling Search Spaces, in the Cisco CallManager System Guide.
AAR Group	Choose the automated alternate routing (AAR) group for this device. The AAR group provides the prefix digits that are used to route calls that are otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. An AAR group setting of None specifies that no rerouting of blocked calls will be attempted.
User Hold Audio Source	Choose the audio source that plays when a user initiates a hold action.
Network Hold Audio Source	Choose the audio source that plays when the network initiates a hold action.
Auto Answer	Choose one of the following options to activate the Auto Answer feature for this directory number: •Auto Answer Off <Default> •Auto Answer with Headset •Auto Answer with Speakerphone (Intercom) Note Make sure that the headset or speakerphone is not disabled when you choose Auto Answer with headset or Auto Answer with speakerphone. Note Do not configure Auto Answer for devices that have shared lines.
Call Forward and Pickup Settings
Forward All	The settings in this row of fields specify the forwarding treatment for calls to this directory number if the directory number is set to forward all calls. Specify the following values: •Voice Mail—Check this check box to use settings in the Voice Mail Profile Configuration window. Note When this check box is checked, Cisco CallManager ignores the settings in the Coverage/Destination box and Calling Search Space. •Coverage/Destination—This setting indicates the directory number to which all calls are forwarded. Use any dialable phone number, including an outside destination. •Calling Search Space—This setting applies to all devices that are using this directory number.
Forward Busy Internal	The settings in this row of fields specify the forwarding treatment for internal calls to this directory number if the directory number is busy.

No Answer Ring Duration (seconds)	Used in conjunction with Call Forward No Answer Destination, this field sets the timer for how long the phone will ring before it gets forwarded. Leave this setting blank to use the value that is set in the Cisco CallManager service parameter, Forward No Answer Timer. Caution By default, Cisco CallManager makes the time for the T301 timer longer than the No Answer Ring Duration time; if the set time for the T301 timer expires before the set time for the No Answer Ring Duration expires, the call ends, and no call forwarding can occur. If you choose to do so, you can configure the time for the No Answer Ring Duration to be greater than the time for the T301 timer. For information on the T301 timer, choose Service > Service Parameter; choose the server, the Cisco CallManager service, and then the parameter in the window that displays.
Call Pickup Group	Choose the number that can be dialed to answer calls to this directory number (in the specified partition).
MLPP Alternate Party Settings
Target (Destination)	Enter the number to which MLPP precedence calls should be directed if this directory number receives a precedence call and neither this number nor its call-forward destination answers the precedence call. Values can include numeric characters and octothorpe (#) and asterisk (*).
Calling Search Space	From the drop-down list box, choose the calling search space to associate with the alternate party target (destination) number. For configuration information about calling search space for directory numbers, see the "Calling Search Space" section.
No Answer Ring Duration	Enter the number of seconds (between 4 and 60) after which an MLPP precedence call will be directed to this directory number's alternate party if this directory number and its call-forwarding destination have not answered the precedence call. Leave this setting blank to use the value that is set in the Cisco CallManager enterprise parameter, Precedence Alternate Party Timeout.
Line Settings for All Devices
Alerting Name	Enter a name that you want to display on the phone of the caller. This setting, which supports the Identification Services for the QSIG protocol, applies to shared and nonshared directory numbers. If you configure an alerting name for a directory number with shared-line appearances, when the phone rings at the terminating PINX, the system performs the following tasks: •Forwards the name of the caller that is assigned to the directory number. •Applies the Connected Name Restrictions (CONR) that are configured for the translation pattern (if restrictions exist); the originating PINX may modify the CONR, depending on the route pattern configuration. If you do not configure an alerting name, "Name Not Available" may display on the caller phone. If you do not enter a name for the Display (Internal Caller ID) field, the information in the Alerting Name field displays in the Display (Internal Caller ID) field.
Line Settings for This Device
Display (Internal Caller ID)	Leave this field blank to have the system display the extension. Use a maximum of 30 alphanumeric characters. Typically, use the user name or the directory number (if using the directory number, the person receiving the call may not see the proper identity of the caller). Setting applies only to the current device unless you check the check box at right and click the Propagate selected button. (The check box at right displays only if other devices share this directory number.)
Line Text Label	Use this field only if you do not want the directory number to show on the line appearance. Enter text that identifies this directory number for a line/phone combination. Suggested entries include boss's name, department's name, or other appropriate information to identify multiple directory numbers to secretary/assistant who monitors multiple directory numbers. Setting applies only to the current device unless you check the check box at right (called Update Shared Device Settings) and click the Propagate selected button. (The check box at right displays only if other devices share this directory number.)
External Phone Number Mask	Indicate phone number (or mask) that is used to send Caller ID information when a call is placed from this line. You can enter a maximum of 24 number and "X" characters. The Xs represent the directory number and must appear at the end of the pattern. For example, if you specify a mask of 972813XXXX, an external call from extension 1234 displays a caller ID number of 9728131234. Setting applies only to the current device unless you check the check box at right (called Update Shared Device Settings) and click the Propagate selected button. (The check box at right displays only if other devices share this directory number.)
Message Waiting Lamp Policy	Use this field to configure the handset lamp illumination policy. Choose one of the following options: •Use System Policy (The directory number refers to the service parameter "Message Waiting Lamp Policy" setting.) •Light and Prompt •Prompt Only •Light Only •None Setting applies only to the current device unless you check the check box at right (called Update Shared Device Settings) and click the Propagate selected button. (The check box at right displays only if other devices share this directory number.)
Ring Setting (Phone Idle)	Use this field to configure the ring setting for the line appearance when an incoming call is received and no other active calls exist on that device. Choose one of the following options: •Use system default •Disable •Flash only •Ring once •Ring Setting applies only to the current device unless you check the check box at right (called Update Shared Device Settings) and click the Propagate selected button. (The check box at right displays only if other devices share this directory number.) Note Turning on MLPP Indication (at the enterprise parameter, device pool, or device level) disables normal Ring Setting behavior for the lines on a device, unless MLPP Indication is turned off (overridden) for the device.
Ring Setting (Phone Active)	From the drop-down list box, choose the ring setting that is used when this phone has another active call on a different line. Choose one of the following options: •Use system default •Disable •Flash only •Ring once •Ring •Beep only Setting applies only to the current device unless you check the check box at right (called Update Shared Device Settings) and click the Propagate selected button. (The check box at right displays only if other devices share this directory number.) Note Turning on MLPP Indication (at the enterprise parameter, device pool, or device level) disables normal Ring Setting behavior for the lines on a device, unless MLPP Indication is turned off (overridden) for the device.
Multiple Call/Call Waiting Settings
Maximum Number of Calls	You can configure up to 200 calls for a line on a device, with the limiting factor being the total number of calls that are configured on the device. As you configure the number of calls for one line, the calls that are available for another line decrease. The default specifies 4. If the phone does not allow multiple calls for each line, the default specifies 2. For CTI route points, you can configure up to 10,000 calls for each port. The default specifies 5000 calls. Use this field in conjunction with the Busy Trigger field. Tip To review how this setting works for devices with shared line appearances, refer to "Shared Line Appearance" in the Cisco CallManager System Guide.
Busy Trigger	This setting, which works in conjunction with Maximum Number of Calls and Call Forward Busy, determines the maximum number of calls to be presented at the line. If maximum number of calls is set for 50 and the busy trigger is set to 40, then incoming call 41 gets rejected with a busy cause (and will get forwarded if Call Forward Busy is set). If this line is shared, all the lines must be busy before incoming calls get rejected. Use this field in conjunction with Maximum Number of Calls for CTI route points. The default specifies 4500 calls. Tip To review how this setting works for devices with shared line appearances, refer to "Shared Line Appearance" in the Cisco CallManager System Guide.
Forwarded Call Information Display
Caller Name	Checking this check box will cause the caller name to display upon call forward.
Redirected Number	Checking this check box will cause the number that was redirected to display upon call forward.
Caller Number	Checking this check box will cause the caller number to display upon call forward.
Dialed Number	Checking this check box will cause the original dialed number to display upon call forward.

Character Set

Choose the character set (alphabet and characters) for the language that is used to display settings on the directory number.

Calling Search Space
