As an administrator, you can access the phone administration web page and configure phone settings there.

You can do the following actions on the administration web page:

  • View device information, network setups and statistics, stream statistics, and device logs.
  • Export and install certificates.
  • Change the date and time for the phone.
  • Restart the phone.

Configure the administration page for phone

The administration web page is enabled when the phone ships from the factory and the password is set to Cisco. But if a phone registers with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you must enable the administration web page and set the sign-in credentials before you use the web page for the first time after the phone has registered.

Once enabled, the administration web page is accessible at HTTPS port 8443 (https://x.x.x.x:8443, where x.x.x.x is a phone IP address).

Before you begin

Decide on a password before you enable the administration web page. The password can be any combination of letters or numbers, but it must be between 8 and 127 characters in length.

Your username is permanently set to admin.
