How to Use the Phone Activities Display  
The Phone Activities display provides real-time information about the operational status of your IP  
phones. The displays are designed so that you can set them up and leave them running, providing an  
ongoing monitoring tool that signals you when something needs attention.  
The Phone Activities display shows information about the IP phones in your network that have become  
disconnected from the switch, are no longer registered to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager, or  
have gone into SRST mode.  
Starting the Phone Activities Display  
To start the Phone Activities display, select Monitoring Dashboard > IP Phone Status. Figure 5-1  
shows an example of a Phone Activities display.  
Tip
