Remotely
Each Cisco Unified IP Phone has a web page from which you can view a variety
of information about the phone, including:
•
•
•
•
•
Device information
Network configuration information
Network statistics
Device logs
Streaming statistics
This chapter describes the information that you can obtain from the phone’s web
page. You can use this information to remotely monitor the operation of a phone
and to assist with troubleshooting.
You can also obtain much of this information directly from a phone. For more
information, see Chapter 7, “Viewing Model Information, Status, and Statistics
For more information about troubleshooting the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970
Series, see Chapter 9, “Troubleshooting and Maintenance.”

A Cisco Unified IP Phone can stream information to and from up to three devices
simultaneously. A phone streams information when it is on a a call or running a
service that sends or receives audio or data.
The streaming statistics areas on a phone’s web page provide information about
the streams. Most calls use only one stream (Stream 1), but some calls use two or
three stream. For example, a barged call uses Stream 1 and Stream 2.
To display a Streaming Statistics area, access the web page for the phone as
