Phone Applications
Phone applications allow you to access the following:
• Call History
• Preferences
• Accessories (For Cisco Unified IP Phone 8945 only.)
• Administrator Settings (for system administrators only).
• Phone Information
Call History
Call History allows you to view information about the last 150 calls on your phone. Individual calls
and call groups are listed chronologically from the most recent call to the oldest one. (If your phone
has multiple lines, calls on all lines are added together. The oldest calls over the 150-call limit are
dropped from the history.)
In the Call History screen, the line information, such as “Line: 5623,” is shown in the upper
right corner to indicate the line name or number for which the call history is displayed.
For each call record or call group, an icon to the left of the caller ID shows the call type:
• Received—
• Placed—
• Missed—
If the caller ID is unavailable, “Unknown” is displayed, and the phone number is listed.
Calls for the same caller ID and phone number are grouped together only when if they occur in
chronological order and do not have calls associated . For each group, the time of the latest call and
the number of calls, such as “(3),” are displayed:
• Incoming (Received) and outgoing (Placed) calls are grouped together.
• Missed calls are grouped together in a separate group.
For each individual card record or call group, the phone number is listed in blue and is contact sensitive
for touch dialing.

Answer Your Oldest Call First
To answer the oldest incoming call first, press the Answer button.
Auto Answer
Auto Answer prompts your phone to automatically answer incoming calls after one ring.
Your system administrator sets up Auto Answer to work with either your speakerphone or headset.
Auto Answer with Your Headset
If Auto Answer with Headset is active and configured, the Headset button is illuminated and
headset connected, incoming call is answered with the headset. Otherwise, calls ring normally and you
must manually answer them. To keep the Headset button illuminated, use buttons and softkeys
(instead of the Headset button) to place and end calls. Your administrator has to set headset as the
default audio path for auto answer.
Auto Answer with Your Speakerphone
Keep the handset in the cradle and the Headset button unlit. Otherwise, calls ring normally and
you must manually answer them.
Barge
The barge feature allows you to add yourself to non-private calls on a shared line. You can convert
the call into a conference and add new participants.
Add Yourself to a Call on a Shared Line
Press the red line button for the shared line. You are added to the call.
Call Back
Call Back allows you to receive an audio and visual notification on your phone when a busy or
unavailable party becomes available.
Call Back, which is available as a softkey, may also be available as a feature button. See your system
administrator for additional information.

Call Forward All
Call Forward All allows you to forward calls from any line on your phone to another number.
You can set up Call Forward All directly on your phone for any line. To set up Call Forward All
remotely, go to your User Options web pages.
There are two types of call-forwarding features that your system administrator may set up on
your phone:
• Unconditional call forwarding (Call Forward All)—Applies to all calls that you receive.
• Conditional call forwarding (Call Forward No Answer, Call Forward Busy, Call Forward No
Coverage)—Applies to certain calls that you receive, according to conditions, and is accessible
only from your User Options web pages.
When forwarding calls from your phone:
• Enter the call forward target number exactly as you would dial it from your phone. For example,
enter an access code or the area code, if necessary.
• Call forwarding is phone-line specific. If a call reaches you on a line where call forwarding is not
enabled, the call will ring as usual.
• Your system administrator can set up other call-forward options that do the following:
–
Allow calls placed from the call forward target number to your phone to ring through, rather
than be forwarded.
–
Prevent you from creating a call-forward loop or exceeding the maximum number of links in
a call forwarding chain.

Call Park
Call Park allows you to use your phone to park (temporarily store) a call, which you can then retrieve
from another phone (such as a phone at a coworker’s desk or in a conference room).
There are two ways you can park a call:
• Park—Allows you to park an active call that you answered on your phone, and retrieve it using
another phone in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system.
• Directed Call Park—Allows you to park and retrieve an active call in two different ways:
–
Assisted Directed Call Park—Allows you to park an active call by pressing a feature button,
which your system administrator sets up as a speed dial line.
With this type of directed call, you can monitor the status of the line (in-use, idle, or Do Not
Disturb) using Line Status indicators.
–
Manual Directed Call Park—Allows you to park an active call by transferring it to a Directed
Call number, which your system administrator sets up.
You retrieve the call at another phone by dialing a park retrieval prefix number (provided by
your system administrator) and then dialing the Directed Call number you used to park
the call.
Your system administrator sets up either the Directed Call Park or the Park feature on your phone,
but not both.
