Setting Up and Using a Cisco Unified
IP Phone as a Cisco IPICS
Push-to-Talk Device
Cisco IPICS provides the Cisco IPICS service, which allows several
Cisco Unified IP Phone models to communicate on PTT channels and participate
in channels and VTGs.
Before a user can access the Cisco IPICS service, Cisco IPICS must be configured
as a phone service for Cisco Unified Communications Manager or for
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express. In addition, users in a
deployment that includes Cisco Unified Communications Manager must
subscribe to the Cisco IPICS service by using the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager User Options application.
The total number of Cisco Unified IP Phones, LMR and multicast ports, PMC
clients, dial users, and ops views cannot exceed the number that is specified in
your Cisco IPICS license. For more information about licenses, see the
“Managing Licenses” section on page 2-107
