Usage notes
Cisco Unified IP Phones use TCP
to connect to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
When security is implemented,
Cisco Unified IP Phones use the
TLS protocol when securely
registering with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager.
For more information, see the
Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Security Guide.
TFTP requires a TFTP server in
your network, which can be
automatically identified from the
DHCP server. If you want a phone
to use a TFTP server other than the
one specified by the DHCP server,
you must manually assign the IP
address of the TFTP server by using
the Network Configuration menu
on the phone.
For more information, go to the
"Cisco TFTP" chapter in the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager
System Guide.
Cisco Unified IP Phones transmit
and receive RTP streams, which
use UDP.
