Generating IP Phone Reports
An IP phone has a physical relationship with a switch and a logical relationship with a Cisco CallManager. IP phone reports provide a combined view of both of these relationships, making it easy for you to track and resolve IP phone problems:
•
IP Phones and Applications reports—Provide detailed IP phone data, reflecting the current status of IP phones in your network.
•IP Status Change reports—Provide data for IP phones that have undergone a a status change during the previous 1 to 7 days.
These topics explain how to use IP phone reports:
•Using IP Phones and Applications Reports
•Using IP Phone Status Changes Reports
Note To refresh the data in a report, close the report and generate it again.
Using IP Phones and Applications Reports
IP Phones and Applications reports provide detailed IP phone data, reflecting the current status of IP phones in your network. These reports enable you to search for a few phones, list a specific set of phones—such as phones connected to a switch, phones in SRST mode, phones that are CTI applications—or view all phones and lines:
•Search—Use Search to view information for a few IP phones or a single IP phone; search enables you to find phones using all or part of an extension number, IP address, or MAC address. See Searching for IP Phones.
•Inventory Analysis—Use the Inventory Analysis report to display IP phones that meet criteria that you specify; for example, IP phones that are registered to a particular Cisco CallManager or IP phones that are not connected to particular switches. See Generating the Inventory Analysis Report and Understanding IP Phone Reports.
•All IP Phones/Lines—Use the All IP Phones/Lines report to view data for all IP phones that Operations Manager is monitoring. See Generating the All IP Phones/Lines Report and Understanding IP Phone Reports.
•SRST IP Phones—Use the SRST IP phones report to view data for IP phones that are configured for Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) only. See Generating the SRST IP Phones Report and Understanding IP Phone Reports.
Note IP phones that are configured for SRST are also included in the All IP Phones/Lines report and can be included in the Inventory Analysis report.
•SIP Phones—Use the SIP Phones report to view data for all SIP phones that Operations Manager is monitoring. See Generating the SIP Phones Report.
•IP Communicators—Use the IP Communicators report to view data for IP Communicators. See Generating the IP Communicators Report.
Note IP Communicators are also included in the All IP Phones/Lines and All CTI Applications reports, and can be included in the Inventory Analysis report.
•All CTI Applications—Use the All CTI Applications report to view data for CTI applications. See Generating the All CTI Applications Report.

Generating the Inventory Analysis Report
Use Inventory Analysis to search for IP phones in your network and display them in a report.
Before You Begin
Inventory Analysis searches for phones using:
•An implicit "or" within each field—If you enter more than one value in a field, Inventory Analysis searches for phones that match any value that you entered.
•An implicit "and" for all fields—If you enter values in more than one field, Inventory Analysis searches for phones that match at least one value from each field.
For example, if you enter two phone models, such as 7910 and 7935, in the IP Phone Model field, the Inventory Analysis report that results includes all phones of these models. If, in addition, you enter a VLAN ID and a switch, Inventory Analysis searches for phones that meet all these criteria; the report that results includes only phones of the models specified that are connected to the switch and in the VLAN that you selected.

Obtaining Usernames from LDAP for IP Phone Reports
Operations Manager can supply usernames on IP phone reports from a corporate LDAP server when the LDAP server is:
•Configured with information for all users.
•Not a secure LDAP server (does not use SSL authentication).
•Added to Operations Manager with the correct credentials and appropriate telephone number. The telephone number can be a phone number or a phone MAC address, depending on the LDAP configuration.
Usernames are updated in Operations Manager when IP phone discovery runs. IP phone discovery obtains users in the corporate directory that have the telephoneNumber attribute, and correlates data for them with information in Cisco CallManager.
For more information, see the following topics:
•Understanding IP Phone Reports
•Working with IP Phone Discovery
•Configuring LDAP
Test Configuration for Selected IP Phones
When the Launch button is present at the bottom right-hand corner of an IP phone report, you can select IP phones from the report, and configure tests on them using one of the available options:

Troubleshooting Tips for IP Phone Reports
This section includes the following tips:
•N/A or Not Available Appears in IP Phones and Applications Reports
•Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 Not Monitored
•Phones Missing from Reports
N/A or Not Available Appears in IP Phones and Applications Reports
If N/A or Not Available appears instead of data in a field, it means one of the following:
•The switch or the Cisco CallManager is not monitored by Operations Manager. To correct this condition, add the switch or Cisco CallManager to Operations Manager.
•Operations Manager cannot get the information from the switch or the Cisco CallManager. To correct this condition, check the status of the switch or Cisco CallManager in the Alerts and Events display. If the switch or Cisco CallManager is unreachable, ensure that the connectivity is restored.
•If the phone is a Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920, only logical information from Cisco CallManager is displayed. Switch information is not available.
Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 Not Monitored
For the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 to be monitored in Operations Manager, its Aironet access point must also be monitored by Operations Manager. Only logical information from the Cisco CallManager is displayed for this phone; switch information for the 7920 appears as N/A or Not Available.
In Cisco CallManager releases prior to 4.0, the 7920 appears as a 7960. Therefore, Operations Manager also displays the 7920 as a 7960 for Cisco CallManager releases prior to 4.0.
Note IP Phone Status Changes reports, such as IP Phone Audit and Suspect Phone reports, are not supported for the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920.
Phones Missing from Reports
If a report does not contain information about an IP phone, the phone might be one of the following:
•A synthetic phone—IP phones configured for synthetic tests (synthetic phones) do not appear in IP Phones and Applications reports.
•An IP Communicator—Generate the IP Communicator Report. See Generating the IP Communicators Report.
•A CTI application—These phones appear on the All CTI Applications report. See Generating the All CTI Applications Report.
Using IP Phone Status Changes Reports
IP Phone Status Changes reports supply information for phones that have undergone a status change during the previous one to seven days.
The IP Phone Audit report provides a summary of all of these changes (see Using the IP Phone Audit Report). Additional IP Phone Status Changes reports focus on particular types of changes, as shown in the following table.
Understanding the Time Period Covered by an IP Phone Status Changes Report
When you generate an IP Phone Status Changes report, your results can be affected by the time zones in which each of following resides:
•Your client system—Operations Manager calculates the time period (previous 24 hours through previous 7 days) for IP Phone Status Changes reports based on the date and time on your client system.
•Operations Manager system—Operations Manager records some audits, such as extension number changes, based on the time that the change is detected on the Operations Manager system.
•Cisco CallManager—Operations Manager records some audits, such as IP phone moves, based on the time on Cisco CallManager that changes were detected.
If any of these systems is not in the same time zone, you must take the time zone difference into account when you generate and view IP Phone Status Changes reports.
Tip If the audit date and time on the Operations Manager system is inconsistent with those shown in the IP Phone Status Changes report, make sure that all the Cisco CallManagers in the network are set to synchronize.
Tracking IP Phone Status Changes when a Cisco CallManager Is Down
If a Cisco CallManager that is configured with a backup goes down, IP phones fail over to the backup Cisco CallManager. Operations Manager stores audit records for the IP phones that register with the backup and these status changes are included in IP Phone Status Changes reports.
Operations Manager does not store audit records in the following cases:
•An entire Cisco CallManager cluster goes down.
•A Cisco CallManager for which a backup is not configured goes down.
Therefore, status changes for the IP phones registered to Cisco CallManagers in these situations are not included in IP Phone Status Changes reports.
Note During the time that the Cisco CallManager is down, affected phones are:
•Listed on the Phone Activities Monitoring Dashboard where they remain for a minimum of 24 hours. See Getting Phone Alert Details.
•Summarized in the Service Impact report, which provides details for phones that lose registration and do not fail over. The Service Impact report is available from Alert Details for the Cisco CallManager while it is down and while the impact of this event remains high; see Understanding the Service Impact Report.
Using the IP Phone Move Report
The IP Phone Move report displays IP phones that have moved, including details about the phone before and after the move. The IP Phone Move report shows the time at which the IP phone move was detected, and not the time at which the move occurred.
Information for the IP Phone Move report is gathered every 5 minutes by IP Phone Movement Tracking (see Understanding IP Phone Movement Tracking). IP Phone Movement Tracking checks all the switches and Cisco CallManagers, identifies the list of changes, and generates the data on IP phone moves.
Note You obtain fresh data for the IP Phone Move report about once every 5 minutes. Close the report and regenerate it to refresh the data.
Step 1 Select Reports > IP Phone Status Changes > IP Phone Move. The IP Phone Status Reports page appears.
Step 2 Select the time period (24 hours - 7 days) from the list and click View. The IP Phone Move report appears, displaying the information described in the following table.

Using the IP Phone Audit Report
The IP Phone Audit report shows the changes that have occurred in the managed IP phone network. For example, this report shows you the IP phones that have been added to or deleted from your network, or changes in IP phone status. Phone status changes occur, for instance, when a phone becomes unregistered with the Cisco CallManager.
You can see what has changed within the last 7 days. Audits are maintained in the database for a period of 7 days, after which they are purged.
Information for the IP Phone Audit report is gathered by IP Phone Movement Tracking (see Understanding IP Phone Movement Tracking). IP Phone Movement Tracking runs every 5 minutes, so you can run the IP Phone Audit Detail report and obtain fresh data about once every 5 minutes. This interval is not configurable.
Step 1 Select Reports > IP Phone Status Changes > IP Phone Audit. The IP Phone Status Reports page appears.

Understanding IP Phone Movement Tracking
Operations Manager gathers information from switches and Cisco CallManagers every 5 minutes to identify these types of IP phone moves:
•Intercluster—A phone that was previously registered with one Cisco CallManager cluster is now registered with a different cluster.
•Physical—A phone that was physically connected to one switch port is now physically connected to a different switch port.
Operations Manager gathers this information only for phones that run Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), such as these Cisco IP phone models: 7902, 7905, 7910, 7912, 7920, 7935, 7936, 7940, 7941, 7960, 7970, and 7985. Operations Manager stores this information for a period of 7 days, after which it is purged from the database. (For information about the daily purging schedule, see Setting System-Wide Parameters Using System Preferences, page 19-12.)
Each time IP Phone Movement Tracking runs, fresh information becomes available for IP Phone Audit, IP Phone Move, and Removed IP Phones reports.
