VPN Configuration Menu
The VPN Configuration menu allows you to enable a virtual private network (VPN) connection that uses
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) when a phone is located outside a trusted network or when network traffic between
the phone and Cisco Unified Communications Manager crosses untrusted networks.
VPN Client is supported only for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7945G, 7965G, and 7975G.
Note
Your system administrator configures the VPN Client feature as needed. If it is enabled and the VPN Client
mode is enabled on the phone, you are prompted for your credentials as follows:
•
If your phone is located outside the corporate network:
◦
You are prompted at login to enter your credentials based on the authentication method that your
system administrator configured on your phone.
•
If your phone is located inside the corporate network:
◦
If Auto Network Detection is disabled, you are prompted for credentials, and a VPN connection
is possible.
◦
If Auto Network Detection is enabled, you cannot connect through VPN so you are not prompted.
Connect to VPN
Use this procedure to access the VPN Configuration settings and connect through VPN.
