A static list of proxy servers is not always adequate. If your user agent serves different domains, for example, you do not want to configure a static list of proxy servers for each domain into every Cisco IP Phone. A simple way to support proxy redundancy is to configure a SIP Proxy Server in the Cisco IP Phone configuration profile.
Phone Installation Dual Registration If the Cisco IP Phone currently uses a lower-priority proxy server, the phone periodically probes the higher-priority proxy and switches to the higher-priority proxy when available. Dual Registration The phone always registers to both primary (or primary outbound) and alternate (or alternate outbound) proxies.

A range of outside sources can cause humming or buzzing sounds; for example, electric lights, electric motors, or large PC monitors.
Phone Accessories Audio Quality Environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco IP Phones are deployed mean that no single headset solution is optimal for all environments. We recommend that customers test headsets in the intended environment to determine performance before making a purchasing decision to deploy on a large scale.
You can mount the phone to a wall. • The Cisco IP Phone 6821 Multiplatform Phones use a commercially-available wall plate. • The Cisco IP Phone 6841, 6851, and 6861 Multiplatform Phones use the Cisco IP Phone 6800 Series Multiplatform Phones Wall Mount Kit.

Click Confirm factory reset. Voice Quality Monitoring To measure the voice quality of calls that are sent and received within the network, Cisco IP Phones use these statistical metrics that are based on concealment events. The DSP plays concealment frames to mask frame loss in the voice packet stream.
