What Phones CISCO Business Edition 3000 supports


Cisco Business Edition 3000 supports a variety of phones that are available through Cisco. If the phone model can support either SIP or SCCP, Cisco Business Edition 3000 uses SIP with the phone. For example, Cisco Unified IP Phone 7937 supports SCCP.


The Cisco Business Edition 3000 server sends a phone-specific configuration file to each phone in your system. (This file is not the same as the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file that is described in the Cisco-Provided .xls Data Configuration File. This configuration file contains data that your phone requires to work; for example, the configuration file specifies whether the phone can use barge, whether phones can use phone applications, and what the locale is for the system.


You can configure the phone for Cisco Business Edition 3000 by using the following methods:

  • Through the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard (after initial deployment and when server comes up after the reboot)
  • Through the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface (after initial deployment)
  • Under Users/Phones > Phones in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface (after initial deployment)


Your phone requires an IP address and other network settings to work. For information on how your phone obtains its IP address and other network settings, refer to your phone administration documentation.


For your phone to work, you must install licenses. You cannot add a phone to the system if the appropriate license is not installed and available for use.


All features that are available with Cisco Business Edition 3000 are not supported on all phone models. Before you configure your Cisco Business Edition 3000, determine which features are supported on your phone by obtaining the phone administration documentation that is available with your phone and this version of Cisco Business Edition 3000.
