Telephony Features for the Cisco IP Phone
After you add Cisco IP Phones to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you can add functionality to the
phones. The following table includes a list of supported telephony features, many of which you can configure
by using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
For information about using most of these features on the phone, see the
Cisco IP Phone 7800 Series User
Guide
. See
Feature Buttons and Softkeys, on page 127
for a list of features that can be configured as
programmable buttons and dedicated softkeys and feature buttons.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration also provides several service parameters that
you can use to configure various telephony functions. For more information on accessing and configuring
service parameters, see the documentation for your particular Cisco Unified Communications Manager
release.
For more information on the functions of a service, select the name of the parameter or the question mark
(?) help button in the
Product Specific Configuration
window.

Description and More Information
Feature
Allows users to speed dial a phone number by entering an assigned index code (1-199) on
the phone keypad.
You can use Abbreviated Dialing while on-hook or
off-hook.
Note
Users assign index codes from the Self Care Portal.
Abbreviated Dialing
Provides different options to control the incoming call alerts. You can disable or enable the
call alert. You can also activate or deactivate the caller ID display.
Because the Cisco IP Phone 7811 does not have line key, it enables the call alert by
default but cannot disable it.
Note

a single greeting or multiple ones as needed.

Agent Greeting
Allows users to pick up a call on any line in their call pickup group, regardless of how the
call was routed to the phone.
