Description
Connects incoming calls automatically after a ring or two.
Auto Answer works with either the speakerphone or the
headset.
Allows the phone user to choose from matching numbers
in the Placed Calls log while dialing. To place the call, the
user chooses a number from the Auto Dial list or continue
to enter digits manually.
Allows a user to use one-touch pickup functionality for
call pickup features.
When the Cisco Unified CM administrator uses the Remote
Port Configuration feature to set the speed and duplex
function of an IP Phone remotely, loss of packets can occur
if one port is slower than the other.
The Automatic Port Synchronization feature synchronizes
the ports to the lowest speed among the two ports, which
eliminates packet loss. When Automatic Port
Synchronization is enabled, Cisco recommends that both
ports be configured for autonegotiate. If one port is enabled
for autonegotiate and the other is at a fixed speed, the
phone synchronizes to the fixed port speed.
If both the ports are configured for fixed speed,
Note
the Automatic Port Synchronization feature is
ineffective.
The Remote Port Configuration and Automatic
Note
Port Synchronization features are compatible only
with IEEE 802.3AF Power of Ethernet (PoE)
switches. Switches that support only Cisco Inline
Power are not compatible. Enabling this feature
on phones that are connected to these types of
switches could result in loss of connectivity to
Cisco Unified CM, if the phone is powered by
PoE.
