Overview of Options Configurable from a Phone
The settings that you can change on a phone fall into several categories, as shown in Table 4-1. For a
detailed explanation of each setting and instructions for changing them, see Network Configuration
Menu, page 4-5.
Note There are several options on the Network Configuration menu and on the Device Configuration Menu
that are for display only or that you can configure from Cisco
Unified Communications Manager. These
options are also described in this chapter.
