Cisco Unified CallManager is an open and industry-standard call processing
system. Cisco Unified CallManager sets up and tears down calls between phones,
integrating traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP network.
Cisco Unified CallManager manages the components of the IP telephony
system—the phones, access gateways, and the resources necessary for such
features as call conferencing and route planning.
For information about configuring Cisco Unified CallManager to work with the
IP devices described in this chapter, refer to Cisco Unified CallManager
Administration Guide and Cisco Unified CallManager System Guide.
