Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network Understanding Interactions with Other Cisco Unified Communications Products Understanding Interactions with Other Cisco Unified Communications Products To function in the Unified Communications network, the Cisco Unified IP Phone must be connected to a networking device, such as a Cisco Catalyst switch. You must also register the Cisco Unified IP Phone with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager system before sending and receiving calls. This section includes these topics: • Understanding How the Cisco Unified IP Phone Interacts with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, page 2-2 • Understanding How the Cisco Unified IP Phone Interacts with the VLAN, page 2-3 Understanding How the Cisco Unified IP Phone Interacts with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Cisco Unified Communications Manager is an open and industry-standard call processing system. Cisco Unified Communications Manager software sets up and tears down calls between phones, integrating traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP network. Cisco Unified Communications Manager manages the components of the Cisco Unified Communications system-the phones, the access gateways, and the resources necessary for such features as call conferencing and route planning. Cisco Unified Communications Manager also provides authentication and encryption if configured for the communications system. For information about configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager to work with the IP devices described in this chapter, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide, and to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide. For an overview of security functionality for the Cisco Unified IP Phone, see the "Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones" section on page 1-12.
