To reduce power consumption, you can configure the phone to sleep (power down) and wake (power up)
if your system includes an EnergyWise controller (for example, a Cisco Switch with the EnergyWise
feature enabled).
You configure settings in Cisco Unified Communications Manager to enable EnergyWise and configure
sleep and wake times. These parameters are closely tied to the phone display configuration parameters.
When EnergyWise is enabled and a sleep time is set, the phone sends a request to the switch to wake it
up at the configured time. The switch sends back either an acceptance or a rejection of the request. If the
switch rejects the request or if the switch does not reply, the phone does not power down. If the switch
accepts the request, the idle phone goes to sleep, reducing its power consumption to a predetermined
level. A phone that is not idle sets an idle timer, and goes to sleep after the timer expires.
At the scheduled wake time, the system restores power to the phone, waking it up.
