Cisco CallManager

C H A P T E R

Introduction
Cisco CallManager serves as the software-based call-processing component of
the Cisco IP Telephony Solutions for the Enterprise, part of Cisco AVVID
(Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data). The Cisco IP Telephony
Applications Server provides a high-availability server platform for
Cisco CallManager call processing, services, and applications.
The Cisco CallManager system extends enterprise telephony features and
functions to packet telephony network devices such as IP phones, media
processing devices, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways, and multimedia applications.
Additional data, voice, and video services such as unified messaging, multimedia
conferencing, collaborative contact centers, and interactive multimedia response
systems interact through Cisco CallManager open telephony application
programming interface (API).
Cisco CallManager provides signaling and call control services to Cisco
integrated telephony applications as well as third-party applications. It performs
the following primary functions:

Call processing

Signaling and device control

Dial plan administration

Phone feature administration

Directory services

Introduction

Key Features and Benefits

Operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning (OAM&P)

Programming interface to external voice-processing applications such as


Cisco SoftPhone, Cisco IP Interactive Voice Recognition (IP IVR), Cisco
Personal Assistant, and Cisco WebAttendant

Key Features and Benefits


The Cisco CallManager system includes a suite of integrated voice applications
that perform voice conferencing and manual attendant console functions. This
suite of voice applications means that no need exists for special-purpose
voice-processing hardware. Supplementary and enhanced services such as hold,
transfer, forward, conference, multiple line appearances, automatic route
selection, speed dial, last-number redial, and other features extend to IP phones
and gateways. Because Cisco CallManager is a software application, enhancing
its capabilities in production environments only requires upgrading software on
the server platform, thereby avoiding expensive hardware upgrade costs.
Distribution of Cisco CallManager and all Cisco IP phones, gateways, and
applications across an IP network provides a distributed, virtual telephony
network. This architecture improves system availability and scalability. Call
admission control ensures that voice quality of service (QoS) is maintained across
constricted WAN link and automatically diverts calls to alternate public switched
telephone network (PSTN) routes when WAN bandwidth is not available.
A web-browsable interface to the configuration database provides the capability
for remote device and system configuration. This interface also provides access
to HTML-based online help for users and administrators.

Partition

Choose the partition to which auto-registered directory


numbers belong.
If you are not using partitions, choose None.
You must choose a range for auto-registration before you
can choose a partition, external phone number mask, or
voice message box mask.

External Phone
Number Mask

Specify the mask used to format caller ID information for


external (outbound) calls made from the auto-registered
devices. The mask can contain up to 50 characters. Enter
the literal digits that you want to appear in the caller ID
information, and use Xs to represent the directory
number of the auto-registered device.
For example, if you specify a mask of 972813XXXX, an
external call from extension 1234 displays a caller ID
number of 9728131234 if the Use External Phone
Number Mask option is checked on the route pattern
used to make the external call.
If you specify a mask of all literal digits, such as
9728135000 to represent a main attendant number, then
that literal number (9728135000) displays as the caller
ID for an external call from any auto-registered device.

Voice Message Box


Mask

Specify the mask used to format the Voice Message Box


number for auto-registered phones. When forwarding a
call to voice mail from a directory line on an
auto-registered phone, Cisco CallManager applies this
mask to the number configured in the Voice Message
Box field for that directory line.
For example, if you enter 3XXXX in the Voice Message
Box Mask field and you enter 4567 in the Voice Message
Box field of a directory line on an auto-registered phone,
Cisco CallManager identifies the voice message box for
this directory line as 34567.

Cisco CallManager Group


Configuration
A Cisco CallManager group specifies a prioritized list of up to three
Cisco CallManagers. The first Cisco CallManager in the list serves as the primary
Cisco CallManager for that group, and the other members of the group serve as
secondary (backup) Cisco CallManagers.
Each device pool has one Cisco CallManager group assigned. When a device
registers, it attempts to connect to the primary (first) Cisco CallManager in the
group assigned to its device pool. If the primary Cisco CallManager is not
available, the device tries to connect to the next Cisco CallManager listed in the
group, and so on.
Cisco CallManager groups provide important features for your system:

RedundancyThis feature enables you to designate a primary and backup


Cisco CallManagers for each group.

Call processing load balancingThis feature enables you to distribute the


control of devices across multiple Cisco CallManagers.

For most systems, you need to assign a single Cisco CallManager to multiple
groups to achieve better load distribution and redundancy.
Use the following topics to add, update, or delete a Cisco CallManager group:

Date/Time Group Configuration


Use Date/Time Groups to define time zones for the various devices connected to
Cisco CallManager. Each device exists as a member of only one device pool, and
each device pool has only one assigned Date/Time Group.
Installing Cisco CallManager automatically configures a default Date/Time
Group called CMLocal. CMLocal synchronizes to the active date and time of the
operating system on the server where Cisco CallManager is installed. After
installing Cisco CallManager, you can change the settings for CMLocal as
desired. Normally, adjust server date/time to the local time zone date and time.

Note

CMLocal resets to the operating system date and time whenever you restart
Cisco CallManager or upgrade the Cisco CallManager software to a new
release. Do not change the name of CMLocal.

Tips

For a worldwide distribution of Cisco IP phones, create one named Date/Time


Group for each of the 24 time zones.
Use the following topics to add, update, or delete Date/Time Groups:

Device Defaults Configuration


Use device defaults to set the system-wide default characteristics of each type of
device that registers with a Cisco CallManager. The system-wide device defaults
for a device type apply to all auto-registered devices of that type within a
Cisco CallManager cluster. You can set the following device defaults for each
device type to which they apply:

Device load

Device pool

Phone button template

When a device auto-registers with a Cisco CallManager, it acquires the


system-wide device default settings for its device type. After a device registers,
you can update its configuration individually to change the device settings.
Installing Cisco CallManager automatically sets device defaults. You cannot
create new device defaults or delete existing ones, but you can change the default
settings by using the following topics:

Enterprise Parameters Configuration


Enterprise parameters provide default settings that apply to all devices and
services in the same cluster. (A cluster is a set of Cisco CallManagers that share
the same database.) When you install a new Cisco CallManager, it uses the
enterprise parameters to set the initial values of its device defaults. For more
information on device defaults, see the Device Defaults Configuration section
on page 6-1 and refer to the System-Level Configuration Settings section of the
Cisco CallManager System Guide.
You cannot add or delete enterprise parameters, but you can use the following

Location Configuration
Use locations to implement call admission control in a centralized call processing
system. Call admission control enables you to regulate voice quality by limiting
the amount of bandwidth available for calls over links between the locations. For
more information, refer to the Call Admission Control section in the
Cisco CallManager System Guide.

Note

If you do not use call admission control to limit the voice bandwidth on an IP
WAN link, an unlimited number of calls can be active on that link at the same
time. This can cause the voice quality of each call to degrade as the link
becomes oversubscribed.
In a centralized call processing system, a single Cisco CallManager cluster
provides call processing for all locations on the IP telephony network. The
Cisco CallManager cluster usually resides at the main (or central) location, along
with other devices such as phones and gateways. The remote locations contain
additional devices but no Cisco CallManager. IP WAN links connect the remote
locations to the main location.

Auto-Registration Configuration
Use auto-registration if you want Cisco CallManager to assign directory numbers
automatically to new phones as they connect to the IP telephony network. Once a
phone has auto-registered, you can move it to a new location and assign it to a
different device pool without affecting its directory number.
This section covers the following topics:

Enabling Auto-Registration
This section describes how to enable auto-registration for new devices.

Caution

Cisco CallManager disables auto-registration by default. Enabling


auto-registration carries a security risk in that rogue phones can
automatically register with Cisco CallManager. You should enable
auto-registration only for brief periods when you want to perform bulk phone
adds.

Reusing Auto-Registration Numbers


When you connect a new device to the network, Cisco CallManager assigns the
next available (unused) auto-registration directory number to that device. If you
manually change the directory number of an auto-registered device, or if you
delete that device from the database, Cisco CallManager can reuse the
auto-registration directory number of that device.
When a device attempts to auto-register, Cisco CallManager searches the range of
auto-registration numbers you specified and tries to find the next available
directory number to assign to the device. It begins the search with the next
directory number in sequence after the last one assigned. If it reaches the ending
directory number in the range, Cisco CallManager continues to search from the
starting directory number in the range.
You can use the following procedure to reset the range of auto-registration
directory numbers and force Cisco CallManager to search from the starting
number in the range.
Procedure
Step 1

Open Cisco CallManager Administration.

Step 2

Choose System > Cisco CallManager.

Step 3

Choose the Cisco CallManager where you want to reset auto-registration.

Step 4

Write down the current settings for Starting Directory Number and Ending
Directory Number.

Step 5

Click Auto-registration Disabled on this Cisco CallManager.

Caution

New phones cannot auto-register while auto-registration is disabled.

Route Filter Configuration


Route filters, along with route patterns, use dialed-digit strings to determine how
a call is handled.
You can only use route filters with North American Numbering Plan (NANP)
route patterns; that is, route patterns that use an at symbol (@) wildcard. Route
filters allow you to determine which route patterns your users can dial; for
example, whether your users can manually select a long-distance carrier (by
dialing 101 plus a carrier access code).
See Understanding Route Plans in the Cisco CallManager System Guide for
more information.

Tips

Always add and define the route filter first and then add the route filter to the
route pattern.

Route Filter Tag Descriptions


The tag serves as the core component of a route filter. A tag applies a name to a
subset of the dialed-digit string. For example, the NANP number 972-555-1234
comprises LOCAL-AREA-CODE (972), OFFICE-CODE (555), and
SUBSCRIBER (1234) route filter tags.
Route filter tags require operators and can require additional values to decide
which calls are filtered.
The values for route filter tag fields can contain the wildcard characters X, *, #, [,
], -, ^, and the numbers 0 through 9. The descriptions in Table 14-2 use the
notations [2-9] and XXXX to represent actual digits. In this notation, [2-9]
represents any single digit in the range 2 through 9, and X represents any single
digit in the range 0 through 9. Therefore, the description The three-digit area
code in the form [2-9]XX means you can enter the actual digits 200 through 999,
or all wildcards, or any mixture of actual digits and wildcards that results in a
pattern with that range.

Route Group Configuration


A route group allows you to designate the order in which gateways are selected.
It allows you to prioritize a list of gateways and ports for outgoing trunk selection.
For example, if you use two long-distance carriers, you could add a route group
so that long-distance calls to the less expensive carrier are given priority. Calls
only route to the more expensive carrier if the first trunk is unavailable.
Use the following topics to add or delete a route group or to add devices to or
remove devices from a route group:

Route List Configuration


Route groups consisting of a list of resources (gateways) make up route lists. A
route list associates a set of route groups with a route pattern and determines the
order in which those route groups are accessed. The order controls the progress of
the search for available trunk devices for outgoing calls.
A route list comprises a collection of resources (gateways, route groups) that route
calls that match the defined route pattern. Once the Cisco CallManager
determines a call that is to be routed through a defined route list, the
Cisco CallManager finds the first available device based on the order of the route
group(s) defined in a route list. Each route list should have at least one route
group. Within each route group, at least one device, such as a gateway, is
available. Cisco CallManager can select some, or all, ports as resources in each
route group based on device type. Some devices, such as digital access, only allow
you to select all ports.
Each route list can contain the same route groups that other route lists have
already selected.
Use the following topics to add or remove route lists or to add, remove, or change
the order of route groups in a route list:

Procedure
Step 1

Choose Route Plan > Route List in the menu bar.

Step 2

Click Add a New Route List.

Step 3

Enter a name in the Route List Name field. The name can comprise up to 50
alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.),
hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). Ensure each route list name is unique
to the route plan.

Timesaver

Use concise and descriptive names for your route lists. The
CompanynameLocationCalltype format usually provides a sufficient level of
detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a route
list. For example, CiscoDallasMetro identifies a route list for toll-free, interlocal access transport area (LATA) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas.
Cisco CallManager automatically inserts a description in the Description field.
You can, however, edit this field.

Route Pattern Configuration


A route pattern comprises a string of digits (an address) and a set of associated
digit manipulations that can be assigned to a route list or a gateway. Route patterns
provide flexibility in network design. They work in conjunction with route filters
and route lists to direct calls to specific devices and to include, exclude, or modify
specific digit patterns.
Refer to Understanding Route Plans in Cisco CallManager System Guide for
more detailed route pattern information.
Use the following topics to add, update, copy, or delete a route pattern:

External Route Plan Wizard


The external route plan wizard allows Cisco CallManager administrators to
quickly configure external routing to the public switched telephone network
(PSTN), to private branch exchanges (PBXs), or to other Cisco CallManager
systems.
Refer to the Understanding Route Plans section in Cisco CallManager System
Guide for more detailed information about how the wizard generates the external
route plan.

Setting the Routing Options

Setting the Routing Options


The following procedure describes how to set routing options for the external
route plan.
Procedure
Step 1

Check the check boxes for Local call fallback, toll bypass call fallback, long
distance call fallback, International call fallback, and Equal access suppression as
appropriate.

Note

Step 2

If you choose local call fallback, toll bypass call fallback, long
distance call fallback, or international call fallback, the external route
plan wizard includes route groups with remote gateways in the
associated route lists.

In the Access code for toll bypass and fallback calls field, enter the access code
for calls that are routed to remote or local gateways. Use only numeric values.
(Many systems use 9 for external calls.)
If the access code is entered for toll bypass and fallback calls, that access code is
used in the prefix digits entry for route groups associated with those call types.

Note

Step 3

The access code entered in this field applies to the entire dial plan.
Cisco CallManager allows only one access code per dial plan.

In the Access code for extensions served by a connected PBX field, enter the
access code for calls between the Cisco CallManager and the adjacent PBX.
(Many systems use 8 for calls to adjacent PBX systems.)
If the access code is entered for the extensions served by a connected PBX, that
access code, followed by a dot (.), is appended to the route patterns associated
with these extensions.

Step 4

Procedure
Step 1

In the Tenant Name field, enter the tenant name. (Generally use the name of the
organization for which the route plan is being built.)

Note

Cisco recommends that you use a short tenant name because it is


incorporated in the calling search space and partition names.

Step 2

In the Number of physical locations in the entire system field, enter the number
of geographical locations associated with the organization. This field should
reflect all Cisco CallManagers in the system that use unique area codes. The
default number of locations is two.

Entering Location Information


The Location Entry pane provides information for the number of locations
specified on the Tenant Information pane. The following procedure describes how
to add location information for the external route plan.
Procedure
Step 1

In the Location Name field, enter the name of the location if it differs from the
one shown. Ensure each location name is unique for the tenant to which it applies.

Step 2

In the Local Area Code(s) field, enter the local area codes available at this
location. (Local area codes comprise all area codes in the calling area.
Cisco CallManager does not consider calls within the calling area to be
long-distance calls.)
If your area includes more than one local (toll-free) area code, use commas to
separate the area codes in the list. Place the primary local area code first, followed
by the secondary and tertiary local area codes.

Note

The primary local area code sets prefix digits on local route patterns.
Not listing the primary area code in the correct order adversely affects
route filter generation.

Enter the 7- or 10-digit number that is the main number for the organization at this
location.

Step 4

Specify the number of digits required for local calls at this location.
The route plan wizard uses this information to determine how many route lists to
create for this location. If you select 10-digit or 7-digit dialing, the wizard creates
one route list for this location. If you select Metro dialing, the wizard creates two
route lists for the location.

Step 5

Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to add location information for other locations.

Providing Gateway Information


The following procedure describes how to add gateway information for the
gateways in the external route plan.
Procedure
Step 1

In the Location of the gateway drop-down list box, choose the gateway location.

Step 2

In the Type of carrier to which the gateway is connected drop-down list box,
choose the type of connection for this gateway.

Step 3

Specify the calling number that will be sent to the adjacent switch when a call is
routed through this gateway.

Step 4

Check the Discard dialed access code... check box if this gateway connects to a
PBX that does not require the Cisco CallManager access code.

Step 5

Enter the range of directory numbers or extension numbers associated with the
adjacent PBX. Use commas to separate multiple entries. Use X wildcard
characters to specify ranges of digits. For example, if the PBX serves extensions
numbered 8000 through 8999 and 9000 through 9999, enter 8XXX,9XXX to
create route patterns for the identified directory number ranges.

Note

If you provide directory number ranges, the wizard generates one


route list for each unique range (route pattern) you enter. If you
provide an access code for the directory number ranges and do not
check the Discard dialed access code... check box, the wizard
generates one route list for each unique range (route pattern) you enter
and precedes each route list with the access code and a dot (.).

Step 6

Click Next.

Step 7

Repeat Steps 1 through 6 to add gateway information for the additional gateways.

Discard Digits Instructions


A discard digits instruction (DDI) removes a portion of the dialed digit string
before passing the number on to the adjacent system. A DDI must remove portions
of the digit string, for example, when an external access code is needed to route
the call to the PSTN, but the PSTN switch does not expect that access code.
Table 20-3 lists DDIs and describes the effects of applying each DDI to a dialed
number.

Calling Party Transformations Settings

Calling Party Transformations Settings


Calling party transformations settings allow you to manipulate the appearance of
the calling party number for outgoing calls. The Cisco CallManager uses the
calling party number for calling line identification (CLID). During an outgoing
call, the CLID passes to each private branch exchange (PBX), central office (CO),
and interexchange carrier (IXC) as the call progresses. The calling party receives
the CLID when the call completes.
The assignment of the calling party transformations settings used in route lists
goes to the individual route groups comprising the list, rather than the route list
as a whole. The calling party transformations settings assigned to the route groups
in a route list override any calling party transformations settings assigned to a
route pattern associated with that route list.
Table 20-4 describes the fields, options, and values used to specify calling party
transformation for a route group.

Field Name

Description

Use Calling Partys


External Phone Number
Mask

This field determines whether the full, external


phone number is used for CLID on outgoing calls.
The options for this field include Default, Off, and
On:

Calling Party Transform


Mask

Default: This setting indicates that the route


group does not govern the calling party
external phone number and calling party
transform masks. If a calling party external
phone number mask or transform mask is
chosen for the route pattern, calls that are
routed through this route group use those
masks.

Off: This setting indicates that the calling


party external phone number is not used for
CLID. If no transform mask is entered for this
route group, calls that are routed through this
group donot get associated with a CLID.

On: This setting indicates that the calling


party full, external number is used for CLID.

This field specifies the calling party transform


mask for all calls routed through this route group.
Valid values for this field range from 0 through 9,
and the wildcard character X. You can also leave
this field blank. If it is blank and the preceding
field is set to Off, this means that no calling party
number is available for CLID.
The calling party transform mask can contain up to
50 digits.

Called Party Transformations Settings

Called Party Transformations Settings


Called party transformations settings allow you to manipulate the dialed digits, or
called party number, for outgoing calls. Examples of manipulating called numbers
include appending or removing prefix digits (outgoing calls), appending area
codes to calls dialed as seven-digit numbers, appending area codes and office
codes to interoffice calls dialed as four- or five-digit extensions, and suppressing
carrier access codes for equal access calls.
The assignment of the called party transformations settings used in route lists
goes to the individual route groups comprising the list, rather than the route list
as a whole. The called party transformations settings assigned to the route groups
in a route list override any called party transformations settings assigned to a route
pattern associated with that route list.
Table 20-5 describes the fields, options, and values used to specify called party
transformations for a route group.

Dial Plan

This field determines which dialing plan is used. If


it is not already chosen, change this field to North
American Numbering Plan.
Note

Discard Digits

The Dial Plan field only appears when


a route group is inserted in a route list.
Once the route group is inserted, you
cannot modify this field.

This field contains a list of discard patterns that


control the discard digit instructions. For example,
in a system where users must dial 9 to make a call
to the public switched telephone network (PSTN),
the PreDot discard pattern causes the 9 to be
stripped from the dialed digit string. See the
Discard Digits Instructions section on page 20-5
for more information.

Route Plan Report


The route plan report lists all call park numbers, call pickup numbers, conference
numbers, such as Meet-Me numbers, route patterns, and translation patterns in the
system. The route plan report allows you to view either a partial or full list, and
to go directly to the associated configuration panes, by selecting a route pattern,
partition, route group, route list, call park number, call pickup number, conference
number, or gateway.
In addition, the route plan report allows you to save report data into a .csv file that
you can import into other applications. The .csv file contains more detailed
information than the web pages, including directory numbers (DN) for phones,
route patterns, and translation patterns.
The Cisco CallManager uses the route plan to route both internal calls and
external public switched telephone network (PSTN) calls. For more detailed
information on the route plan, refer to the Understanding Route Plans section
in Cisco CallManager System Guide.
Use the following procedures to view all route plan records:

Cisco WebAttendant Configuration


Cisco WebAttendant, a client-server application, allows you to set up
Cisco IP phones as attendant consoles. Employing a graphical user interface, the
Cisco WebAttendant client creates an attendant console that uses speed-dial
buttons and quick directory access to look up phone numbers, monitor line status,
and direct calls. A receptionist or administrative assistant can use the
Cisco WebAttendant client to handle calls for a department or company, or
another employee can use it to manage his own calls.
Use Cisco CallManager Administration to manage the Cisco Telephony Call
Dispatcher, configure pilot points and hunt groups, and add or delete
Cisco WebAttendant users.

Configuring Hunt Groups


After you configure the pilot point, you must configure the hunt group. A hunt
group comprises a list of destinations (either directory numbers or
Cisco WebAttendant user /line numbers) that determine the call redirection order.
This section covers the following procedures:

Adding Hunt Group Members, page 24-9

Adding Hunt Group Members


This section describes how to add hunt group members.
Procedure

Note

Cisco TCD handles overflow conditions by routing calls to multiple


Cisco WebAttendants or voice-mail numbers. On the Hunt Group
Configuration pane, check the Always Route Member check box, so that the
voice-mail number receives multiple calls at the same time.

Step 1

Choose Service > Cisco WebAttendant. The Pilot Point Configuration pane
displays.

Step 2

Choose the pilot point for which you want to add hunt group members. A list of
available pilot points appears on the left side of the Pilot Point Configuration
pane.

Step 3

To add hunt group members to this pilot point, click the link to Hunt Group
Configuration in the upper, right corner of the Pilot Point Configuration pane.

Step 4

Click Add Member. The Pilot Hunt Group Members list initially displays the text
<<Not Configured>>.

Step 5

Decide whether the hunt group member you want to add will be a directory
number (device member) or a user and line number (user member):

If you specify a directory number, Cisco TCD always attempts to route the
call to that number.

If you specify a Cisco WebAttendant user and line number, Cisco TCD first
checks whether the Cisco WebAttendant user is logged in to a
Cisco WebAttendant client and online before attempting to route the call.
When you specify a user and line number, the user can log in to and receive
calls on any Cisco IP phone in the cluster controlled by Cisco WebAttendant.

Configuring Hunt Groups

Step 6

Enter the appropriate configuration settings for the new hunt group member as
described in Table 24-3:

If the hunt group member is a directory number, fill in only the Partition and
Directory Number fields in the Device Member Information section. The
optional Always Route Member check box only applies to directory numbers.

If the hunt group member is a user and line number, fill in only the
Cisco WebAttendant User Name and Line Number fields in the User
Member Information section.

Note

The User Name you specify designates a Cisco WebAttendant User


ID. This user name does not duplicate a User ID added through the
Cisco CallManager User area of Cisco CallManager Administration.

As you make selections, the Hunt Group Member list box reflects the information
you choose. The Hunt Group Member list displays either the device directory
number or the Cisco WebAttendant user name and line number; for example:
#1 Call directory number 35201 (directory number example)
#2 Direct Call to Mary Brown, Line 1 (user and line number example)
Step 7

To add more hunt group members to the pilot point, repeat Step 5 and Step 6.

Note

Step 8

To reorder the hunt group list, choose the member you want to reorder
from the list. Then, using the up and down arrows, move that member
to a new position in the list.

Click Update to save the hunt group member information and complete hunt
group configuration.

Caution

Step 2

Caution

Step 3

For all except the last hunt group in the chain, make sure that the final
member of the hunt group is the pilot point for the next hunt group.

Cisco strongly recommends that you do not include any other pilot point
numbers (besides the final member) in the hunt group. Including other pilot
point numbers in the hunt group may cause a continuous route loop.

Check the Always Route Member check box for only the final member of
each hunt group.

To handle overflow conditions, choose a voice-mail or auto attendant number


as the final member of the last linked hunt group in the chain. Check the
Always Route Member check box to ensure that voice mail can handle
multiple, simultaneous calls.

After you configure each hunt group, click Update to save the information.

Cisco strongly recommends that you do not link the last hunt group back to the
first hunt group.

Conference Bridge Configuration


Conference Bridge for Cisco CallManager is a software and hardware application
designed to allow both Ad-Hoc and Meet-Me voice conferencing. Each
conference bridge is capable of hosting several simultaneous, multiparty
conferences.
Cisco CallManager supports multiple conference devices to distribute the load of
mixing audio between the conference devices. A component of
Cisco CallManager called Media Resource Manager (MRM) locates and assigns
resources throughout a cluster. The MRM resides on every Cisco CallManager
and communicates with MRMs on other Cisco CallManagers.
Both hardware and software conference bridges can be active at the same time.
Software and hardware conference devices differ in the number of streams and the
types of codec they support. For software conference devices, you can adjust the
number of streams. Hardware conference devices, however, support a fixed
number of streams.

Note

The hardware model type for Conference Bridge contains a specific Media
Access Control (MAC) address and device pool information.
Use the following topics to configure conference bridges:

Media Termination Point


Configuration
A Media Termination Point (MTP) software device allows the Cisco CallManager
to extend supplementary services, such as hold and transfer, to calls routed
through an H.323 endpoint or an H.323 gateway.
MTP, a Cisco software application, installs on a server during the software
installation process. During installation, the component is called the
IpVoiceMediaStreamingApp and is common to both the MTP, Conference
Bridge, and Music on Hold (MOH) applications. Under Windows2000, the
application runs as a service and is called Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming App.
Each MTP device defined in the database registers with the Media Resource
Manager (MRM). The MRM keeps track of the total available MTP devices in the
system and which devices have available resources.
During resource reservation, the MRM determines the number of resources,
identifies the media type (in this case, the MTP), and the location of the registered
MTP device. The MRM updates its share resource table with the registration
information and propagates the registered information to the other
Cisco CallManagers within the cluster.
Unlike previous Cisco CallManager releases, the MTP and transcoder can register
with the same Cisco CallManager. See the Transcoder Configuration section on
page 31-1 for more information.
Each MTP receives a list of Cisco CallManagers, in priority order, to which it
should attempt to register. Each MTP can register with only one
Cisco CallManager at a time.

Media Resource Group Configuration


Media resource management comprises working with media resource groups and
media resource group lists. Media resource management provides a mechanism
for managing media resources, so that they can be shared by all
Cisco CallManagers within a cluster. Media resources provide conferencing,
transcoding, media termination, and music on hold services.
You can associate a Media Resource Group, a logical grouping of media servers,
with a geographical location or with a site as desired. You can also form Media
Resource Groups to control the usage of servers or the type of service (unicast or
multicast) desired.
You can group devices of the following types into a single Media Resource Group:

Conference Bridge (CFB)

Media Termination Point (MTP)

Music On Hold Server (MOH)

Transcoder (XCODE)

Media Resource Group List


Configuration
Media resource management comprises working with media resource groups and
media resource group lists. Media resource management provides a mechanism
for managing media resources, so that they can be shared by all
Cisco CallManagers within a cluster. Media resources provide conferencing,
transcoding, media termination, and music on hold services.
A Media Resource Group List provides a prioritized grouping of Media Resource
Groups. An application selects the required media resource, such as a Music On
Hold server, from among the available media resources according to the priority
order defined in a Media Resource Group List.
Use the following topics to configure Media Resource Group Lists:

Service parameters for Cisco CallManager (Release 3.0 and later) allow you to
configure different services on selected servers. You can insert and delete services
on a selected server, as well as modify the service parameters for those services.

Note

Caution

Services must be installed in the database for them to work. For


example, if you add a conference bridge to the database, it may not
physically exist. It will only be installed if you installed the Media
Streaming App service. You can install services from the
Cisco CallManager CD or using the Cisco Service Configuration
utility. For more information on installing services, refer to the
Service Installation and Configuration section in the
Cisco CallManager System Guide.

Transcoder Configuration
The Media Resource Manager (MRM) has responsibility for resource registration
and resource reservation of transcoders within a Cisco CallManager cluster.
Cisco CallManager simultaneously supports registration of both the MTP and
Transcoder and concurrent MTP and transcoder functionality within a single call.
The maximum transcoding sessions per port is 24. The following list gives the
supported transcoding capacity and sessions per port:

G711G711 MTP: 24 (no DSP is involved)

G729G729 MTP: 24 (no DSP is involved)

G711G723 transcoding: 24

G711G729 transcoding: 24

G711GSM Full Rate (FR) transcoding: 24

G711GSM Enhanced Full Rate (EFR) transcoding: 24

The Cisco CallManager invokes a transcoder on behalf of endpoint devices when


the two devices are using different codecs, and would normally not be able to
communicate. When inserted into a call, the transcoder converts the data streams
between the two disparate codecs to enable communications between them.
Transcoders are accessible by all Cisco CallManagers within a cluster through the
Media Resource Manager (MRM). The MRM determines the number of
transcoders needed for a call and allocates the appropriate number of connections.
The MRM makes use of Cisco CallManager media resource groups and media
resource group lists. The media resource group list allows transcoders to
communicate with other devices in the assigned media resource group, which in
turn, provides management of resources within a cluster.

Starting and Stopping Services


This section describes how to start and stop the Cisco CallManager and other
available services. When you stop and start a Cisco CallManager, all
Cisco IP phones and gateways currently registered to that Cisco CallManager fail
over to their secondary Cisco CallManager. All other installed applications that
are homed to that Cisco CallManager, such as conference bridge and Cisco
Messaging Interface (CMI), also stop and start. Devices and phones only restart
if they cannot register with another Cisco CallManager.

Caution

Stopping Cisco CallManager stops call processing for all devices controlled
by that Cisco CallManager. If possible, avoid stopping and starting the
CallManager service during peak hours as this may cause slow performance
and extended outages for devices.
You can start and stop services from Windows or from the control center in
Cisco CallManager Serviceability. For information on using the control center,
refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide.
For information on starting and stopping services from Windows, see the
following topic:

Call Park Configuration


The call park feature allows you to place a call on hold, so that it can be retrieved
from another phone in the system. For example, if you are on an active call at your
phone, you can park the call to a call park extension such as 1234. Someone on
another phone in your system can then dial 1234 to retrieve the call.
You can define either a single directory number or a range of directory numbers
for use as call park extension numbers. You can park only one call at each call
park extension number.
Use the following topics to add, update, or delete a call park extension:

Call Pickup and Group Call Pickup


Configuration
Two features, call pickup and group call pickup, allow you to answer a call that
comes in on a directory number other than your own. When you hear an incoming
call ringing on another phone, you can redirect the call to your phone by using the
call pickup feature.
Cisco IP phones provide two types of call pickup:

Call pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls within their own group.
Cisco CallManager automatically dials the appropriate call pickup group
number when a user activates this feature on a phone.

Group call pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls within their own
group or in other groups. Users must dial the appropriate call pickup group
number when a user activates this feature on a phone.

The same procedures apply for configuring both of these features, and they are
described in the following sections:

CTI Route Point Configuration


A computer telephony integration (CTI) route point designates a virtual device
that can receive multiple, simultaneous calls for application-controlled
redirection.
For first-party call control, you must add a CTI port for each active voice line.
Applications that use CTI route points and CTI ports include Cisco SoftPhone,
Cisco IP Auto Attendant, and Cisco IP Interactive Voice Response System. Once
you add a CTI route point to Cisco CallManager Administration, information
from the RIS Data Collector service displays on the CTI Route Point
Configuration pane. When available, the IP address of the device and the name of
the Cisco CallManager with which the device registered display.
For detailed instructions on how to configure CTI route points and CTI ports
associated with these applications, refer to the documentation and online help
included with these applications.

Gatekeeper Configuration
A gatekeeper device, also known as a Cisco Multimedia Conference Manager
(MCM), supports the H.225 Registration, Admission, and Status Protocol (RAS)
message set used for call admission control, bandwidth allocation, and dial
pattern resolution (call routing). The gatekeeper provides these services for
communications between Cisco CallManager clusters. You can configure only
one primary gatekeeper device per Cisco CallManager cluster.
Gatekeeper configuration consists of two components:

Cisco CallManager configuration. Each Cisco CallManager cluster must


register with the gatekeeper as a single VoIP gateway. This chapter describes
how to configure Cisco CallManager as a VoIP gateway to the gatekeeper.

Gatekeeper configuration on the router. This type of configuration applies to


a Cisco IOS Multimedia Conference Manager (MCM) that acts as the
gatekeeper. Recommended platforms for the gatekeeper include Cisco 2600,
3600, or 7200 routers with Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3)T or higher. Refer to the
MCM documentation for information on configuring the gatekeeper.

The following topics cover Cisco CallManager configuration for associating


Cisco CallManager as a VoIP gateway to the gatekeeper:

Cisco CallManager registers. Cisco
recommends the default setting for most
configurations.

If you want Cisco CallManager to register with


a specific zone on the gatekeeper, enter the
value in this field that exactly matches the zone
name configured on the gatekeeper with the

Allow Anonymous Calls

Check this check box to enable Cisco CallManager


to send calls to and receive calls from remote
anonymous devices controlled by this gatekeeper.
An anonymous device is one that you have not
explicitly configured in the Cisco CallManager
database.
This setting eliminates the need for you to
configure a separate H.323 device in the local
Cisco CallManager cluster for each remote
Cisco CallManager or H.323 gateway that it can
call over the IP WAN.
When you enable Allow Anonymous Calls, you
must also fill in the configuration settings listed
subsequently in this table.
If you uncheck this check box, you must configure
a separate H.323 gateway for each remote device
that the local Cisco CallManager can call over the
IP WAN.
The default setting disables Allow Anonymous
Calls.
When you enable Allow Anonymous Calls and fill
in the remaining fields in this table, you essentially
create a device (an intercluster trunk or gateway)
named AnonymousDevice that can send calls to and
receive calls from any remote Cisco CallManager
controlled by the gatekeeper. The
AnonymousDevice gets its device characteristics
(such as Cisco CallManager group, region, and so
on) from the gatekeeper device pool.

Device Protocol

Choose the appropriate protocol for the


AnonymousDevice. Choose Inter-Cluster Trunk if
the AnonymousDevice is an intercluster trunk
(Cisco CallManager), or choose H.225 if the
AnonymousDevice is a gateway.

Num Digits

Use this field only if you check the Sig Digits check
box. Choose the number of significant digits, from
0 to 32, to collect for incoming calls to the
AnonymousDevice.
Cisco CallManager counts significant digits from
the right (last digit) of the number called.
This field processes incoming calls and indicates
the number of digits starting from the last digit of
the called number used to route calls coming into
the H.323 device. See Prefix DN and Sig Digits.

Sig Digits

Check or uncheck this box depending on whether


you want to collect significant digits. Choose
significant digits to represent the number of final
digits retained on inbound calls. A trunk with
significant digits enabled truncates all but the final
few digits of the address provided by an inbound
call.
If this box is unchecked, Cisco CallManager does
not truncate the inbound number.
If this box is checked, you also need to choose the
number of significant digits to collect. (See Num
Digits.)

Prefix DN

Enter the prefix digits that are appended to the


called party number on incoming calls.
Cisco CallManager adds prefix digits after first
truncating the number in accordance with the Num
Digits setting.

Configuring Cisco IP Phones


You can add phones to the Cisco CallManager database automatically using
auto-registration, manually using the phone configuration panes, or in groups
with the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). By enabling auto-registration, you can
automatically add a Cisco IP phone to the Cisco CallManager database when you
connect the phone to your IP telephony network. During auto-registration,
Cisco CallManager assigns the next available sequential directory number to the
phone. In many cases, you might not want to use auto-registration; for example,
if you want to assign a specific directory number to a phone. If you do not use
auto-registration, you must manually add phones to the Cisco CallManager
database or use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). BAT, a plug-in application,
enables system administrators to perform batch add, modify, and delete
operations on large numbers of Cisco IP phones. Refer to the Bulk Administration
Tool Guide for Cisco CallManager for detailed instructions on using BAT.
Once you add a Cisco IP phone to Cisco CallManager Administration, the RIS
Data Collector service displays the device name, registration status, and the IP
address of the Cisco CallManager to which it is registered on the Phone
Configuration pane.

Displaying the MAC Address of a Phone


The Media Access Control (MAC) address comprises a unique, 12-character,
hexadecimal number that identifies a Cisco IP phone or other hardware device.
Locate the number on a label on the bottom of the phone (for example,
000B6A409C405 for Cisco IP Phone 7900 Family models or
SS-00-0B-64-09-C4-05 for Cisco IP Phone models SP 12+ and 30 VIP).
Cisco CallManager makes the MAC address a required field for Cisco IP phone
device configuration. When entering the MAC address in Cisco CallManager
fields, do not use spaces or dashes and do not include the "SS" that may precede
the MAC address on the label.
To display the MAC address when the phone is powered on, perform the following
steps:

Cisco IP Phone 7960 and 7940 modelsPress Settings, use the arrow buttons
to highlight the Network Configuration menu option, and press the Select
softkey.

Cisco IP Phone 7910 Press Settings, use the arrow buttons to locate
Network Config options, and press 6 on the phone keypad to begin displaying
the Network Config options; then, use the arrow keys to scroll the Network
Config option display to the MAC address.

Partition

Choose the partition to which the directory number


belongs. Make sure the directory number you enter in the

Voice Message Box

Enter the voice mailbox you want to associate with this


line. When a call is forwarded to voice mail, the
Cisco CallManager sends the number you enter here to
your voice-mail application. The voice-mail system then
leaves voice-mail messages in the configured mailbox.
By default, the Cisco CallManager Administration
enters the directory number in this field.
During auto-registration, Cisco CallManager applies the
default mask value you entered in the the Voice Message
Box Mask field on the Cisco CallManager Configuration
pane to this field.
For example, if you enter 97281XXXXX in the Voice
Message Box Mask field and you enter 30000 in the
Voice Message Box field, Cisco CallManager identifies
the voice message box for this directory number as
9728130000.

If you set the Forward All Calling Search Space field to
<none>, Cisco CallManager uses the calling search
spaces of the line and the phone when the user forwards
calls using the Cisco IP Phone User Options panes or the
CFwdAll softkey on the phone. If you want to restrict
users from forwarding calls on their phones, you must
choose a restrictive calling search space from the
Forward All Calling Search Space field; for example:
You have two calling search spaces: Building and PSTN.
The Buiding calling search space only allows users to
call within the building, while the PSTN calling search
space allows users to call within and outside the building.
You assign the phone to the PSTN calling search space
and the line on your phone to the Building calling search
space. If you set the Call Forward All calling search
space to <none>, the Cisco CallManager can forward
calls to any number within the PSTN or building calling
search spaces. To prevent the user from forwarding calls
to numbers outside the building, set the Call Forward All
calling search space to Building.

Phone Button Template Configuration


Cisco CallManager includes several default phone button templates. When adding
phones, you can assign one of these templates to the phones or create a new
template.
Creating and using templates provides a fast way to assign a common button
configuration to a large number of phones. For example, if users in your company
do not use the conference feature, you can create a template that reassigns this
button to a different feature, such as speed dial.
Make sure all phones have at least one line assigned. Normally, this is button 1.
You can assign additional lines to a phone, depending on the Cisco IP phone
model. Phones also generally have several features, such as speed dial and call
forward, assigned to the remaining buttons.
The following sections provide details about using and working with the phone
button templates:

Associating Devices to a User


Once you have added a user, you can associate devices over which users will have
control. Users can control some devices, such as phones. Other devices, such as
CTI ports, can be controlled by applications that are identified as users. When
users have control of a phone, they have the ability to control certain settings for
that phone, such as speed dial and call forwarding.
The User Device Assignment window consists of a device filter section and a list
of available devices.
Available Device List Filters

The device filter allows you to limit your list of devices by entering search criteria
based on all or part of the device name, description, or directory number. To limit
the list of available devices to a specific selection, enter the criteria by which you
wish to search using the following methods:

Choose device name, description, or directory number.

Choose the comparison operator.

Enter a text or number entry.

For example, to list all extensions that begin with 5, you would choose
Directory Number begins with and then enter 5 in the text box.
Available Devices

Once you have specified the search criteria to display devices, all available
devices that match your criteria appear in the Available Devices list. The list
displays in groups of 20 devices and you can navigate it using the buttons at the
bottom of the window. You can page through the device list by clicking First,
Previous, Next, and Last, or you can jump to a specific page by entering the page
number in the page entry box and then clicking Page.
If you are modifying the device assignment for an existing user, the devices
previously assigned to that user appear in a group at the beginning of the device
list.
You can associate one or more devices to the user by checking the checkbox next
to that device. If a device has multiple extensions associated with it, each line
extension appears in the list. You need to choose only one line extension to choose
all the lines associated with that device.

Searching the Global Directory


The Global Directory for Cisco CallManager contains every user within a Cisco
CallManager directory. Cisco CallManager uses Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) to interface with a directory that contains user information. This
is an embedded directory supplied with Cisco CallManager. Its primary purpose
is to maintain the associations of devices with users.
Using either a basic or an advanced user search, you can access the Global
Directory.
Refer the Adding a New User section on page 44-1 for details on adding and
configuring a new user.

Searching the Global Directory

Using Basic Search

Using Basic Search


The Basic User search utility searches the first name, last name, and user ID fields
for matches of any substring that you enter as search criteria. For example, if you
enter li in the search field, the search results would include users whose first
name, last name, or user ID matches that substring, as indicated in the following
list:

Last name

First Name

User ID

Johnson

Charlie

cjohnson

Ni

Liang

lni

Collins

Manny

If you enter two or more substrings separated by spaces, the search will look for
matches for any substring in any of the three search fields.
The following procedure contains information about how to use the Global
Directory Basic User Search engine.
Procedure
Step 1

Choose User > Global Directory.


The User Search pane appears.

Step 2

In the User Search field, enter the first name, last name, user ID, or substring of
the user for whom you are searching.

Step 3

Using Advanced Search


With the Advanced User Search utility, you can enter search criteria using three
search fields and built-in Boolean logic to perform more complex searches.
If you enter two or more names or substrings separated by spaces in any one field,
the search will interpret the request with the OR relationship operator, and will
look for matches where any of your specified criteria is true. For example, if you
enter john jerry, the search will return all users whose first names are John or
Jerry.
If you enter a substring in two or more search fields, the search will interpret the
request with the AND relationship operator and look for matches where both
criteria are true. For example, if you enter Ling for first name and Chu for last
name, the search will return the user named Ling Chu.

Tips

Use ORs with multiple entries in a single field, and ANDs across fields. For
example, if you enter:
First Name: john jane
Last Name: jones smith
UserID: jjones jsmith
the search will be for (firstname=john OR 'jane) AND lastname=jones
OR smith) AND (userid=jjones OR jsmith).

Cisco TAPI Service Provider


Installation and Configuration
The Cisco Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) solution allows
you to install multiple Cisco TAPI Service Providers (TSPs) on the same machine.
This configuration allows TAPI applications to increase the number of lines that
can be supported and to increase the amount of call traffic. Configure each Cisco
TSP with a different username and password that is administered in the
Cisco CallManager Directory. Configure each user in the Directory, so that no two
users are associated to the same device. TSPs in the multiple TSP system do not
communicate with each other and create a separate computer telephony
integration (CTI) connection to the Cisco CallManager.

Note

If you have upgraded to Cisco CallManager 3.1, you must upgrade the TAPI
client software on any application server or client workstation on which TAPI
applications are installed. If you do not upgrade the TAPI client, your
application will fail to initialize. If you need to upgrade, download the
appropriate client from the Cisco CallManager Administration as described in
the Installing the Cisco TSP section on page 47-3.
The upgraded TAPI client software does not work with older releases of
Cisco CallManager.

Description

Automated Voice Calls

The number of Cisco wave devices you are using


determines the possible number of automated voice
lines. (The default is 5.) You can open as many CTI
ports as the number of Cisco wave devices
configured. For example, if you enter 5, you need
to create five CTI port devices in
Cisco CallManager. If you change this number, you
need to remove and then reinstall any Cisco wave
devices that you installed.
You can only configure a maximum of 255 wave
devices for all installed TSPs because Microsoft
limits the number of wave devices per wave driver
to 255.
When you configure 256 or more wave devices
(including Cisco or other wave devices), Windows
displays the following error when you access the
Sounds and Multimedia control panel: An Error
occured while Windows was working with the
Control Panel file
C:\Winnt\System32\MMSYS.CPL. TSP can still
handle the installed Cisco wave devices as long as
you have not configured more than 255 Cisco
devices.
The current number of possible automated voice
lines designates the maximum number of lines that
can be simultaneously opened using both
LINEMEDIAMODE_AUTOMATEDVOICE and
LINEMEDIAMODE_INTERACTIVEVOICE.
If you are not developing a third-party call control
application, check the Enumerate only lines that
support automated voice check box, so that the
Cisco TSP detects only lines associated with a CTI
port device.

Description

Silence Detection

If you use silence detection, this check box notifies


the wave driver which method to use to detect
silence on lines that support automated voice calls
using the Cisco Wave Driver. If the check box is
checked (default), the wave driver searches for the
absence of audio-stream RTP packets. Because all
devices on the network suppress silence and stop
sending packets, this method provides a very
efficient way for the wave driver to detect silence.
However, if some phones or gateways do not
perform silence suppression, the wave driver must
analyze the content of the media stream and, at
some threshold, declare that silence is in effect.
This CPU-intensive method handles media streams
from any type of device.
If some phones or gateways on your network do not
perform silence suppression, you must specify the
energy level at which the wave driver declares that
silence is in effect. This value of the 16-bit linear
PCM energy level ranges from 0 to 32767, and the
default is 200. If all phones and gateways perform
silence suppression, the system ignores this value.

contains the maximum number of lines, trace opens
the next file and writes to that file.

No. of files

Specifies the maximum number of trace files. The


default is 10. File numbering occurs in a rotating
sequence starting at 0. The counter restarts at 0 after
it reaches the maximum number of files minus one.

Directory

Specifies the location in which trace files for all


Cisco TSPs are stored. Make sure that the specified
directory exists.
The system creates a subdirectory for each Cisco
TSP. For example, the CiscoTSP001Log directory
stores Cisco TSP 1 log files. The system creates
trace files with filename TSP001Debug000xxx.txt
for each TSP in its respective subdirectory.

Field

Description

TSP Trace

Activates internal TSP tracing. When you activate


TSP tracing, Cisco TSP logs internal debug
information that you can use for debugging
purposes. You can choose one of the following
levels:
ErrorLogs only TSP errors.
DetailedLogs all TSP details (i.e., log function
calls in the order they are called.)
The system checks the TSP Trace check box and
chooses the Error radio button by default.

CTI Trace

Traces all messages and function calls between


TAPI and Cisco TSP. The system leaves this check
box unchecked by default.
If you check the check box, TSP traces all the
function calls made by TAPI to Cisco TSP with
parameters and messages (events) from Cisco TSP
to TAPI.

TSPI Trace

Traces messages flowing between Cisco TSP and


CTI. Cisco TSP communicates with the CTI
Manager. By default, the system leaves the check
box unchecked.

Cisco JTAPI Installation and


Configuration
Cisco Java Telephony API (JTAPI) implementation comprises Java classes that
reside on all client machines running Cisco JTAPI applications. Installation of the
Cisco JTAPI implementation must take place before Cisco JTAPI applications
will function correctly. Make sure the Cisco JTAPI classes are installed wherever
JTAPI applications will run, whether on Cisco CallManager, on a separate
machine, or on both. Installation requires 5 MB of local disk space.

Note

If you have upgraded to Cisco CallManager 3.1, you must upgrade the JTAPI
client software on any application server or client workstation on which JTAPI
applications are installed. If you do not upgrade the JTAPI client, your
application will fail to initialize. If you need to upgrade, download the
appropriate client from the Cisco CallManager Administration as described in
the Installing the Cisco JTAPI Software section on page 48-2.
The upgraded JTAPI client software does not work with older releases of
Cisco CallManager.
This section discusses the software installation and configuration required to
ready the Cisco JTAPI environment for programming and running applications.

Table 48-1 Log Destination Configuration Fields

Field

Description

Enable Alarm Service

When this option is enabled, JTAPI alarms go to an


alarm service running on the specified machine.
You must specify the host name and port number
when enabling this option.

Use Java Console

When this option is enabled, tracing goes to the


standard output or console (command) window.

Use Syslog

When this option is enabled, traces go to a UDP


port as specified in the Syslog Collector and Port
Number fields. Syslog collector service collects
traces and directs them to the CiscoWorks2000
server.

Use Rotating Log Files

This option allows you to direct the traces to a


specific path and folder in the system. No fewer
than two log files and no more than 99 files can
exist. Cisco JTAPI rotates through the log files in
numerical order, returning to the first log file after
filling the last. Log files increase in size in
1-megabyte increments.

Use the Same Directory

This option allows you to specify whether the same


folder name should be used for each instance of an
application.
When the option is enabled, JTAPI traces the log
files to the same directory. In this case, successive
instances of a JTAPI application will restart the log
files starting at index 01.
When the option is disabled, each application
instance, whether successive or simultaneous, will
cause the trace files to be placed in a new folder
sequential to the last folder written. Cisco JTAPI
detects the last folder present in the trace path and
automatically increments the numeric index.

File Name Base and File


Name Extension

Use these values to create the trace file names with


a numerical index appended to the file base name to
indicate the order in which the files are created.
For example, if you enter jtapiTrace in the File
Name Base field and log in the File Name
Extension field, the trace files would rotate
between jtapiTrace01.log, jtapiTrace02.log and
jtapiTrace10.log. If the File Name Base and File

This setting specifies recovery treatment for CTI


ports under the control of the JTAPI application.
When this setting is enabled, JTAPI will reregister
the CTI port in case of a system failure. When this
setting is disabled, the application must reregister
CTI ports after a system failure. The default setting
is enabled.

Enable Periodic Wakeup

This setting enables a heartbeat in the internal


message queue that JTAPI uses. It causes the
thread to wake up if it has not received a message
in the time defined in the PeriodicWakeupInterval
and creates log an event. The default setting is
disabled.

Periodic Wakeup Interval


(sec)

This setting allows you to define a time of


inactivity in the JTAPI internal message thread. If
JTAPI has not received a message during this time,
the thread wakes up and logs an event. The default
is 50 seconds.

Enable Queue Stats

This setting causes JTAPI to log the max queue


depth over the specified number of messages
queued to JTAPI main event thread. In other words,
for every x messages processed, JTAPI logs a
DEBUGGING level trace reporting the maximum
queue depth over that interval, where x is the
number of messages specified in Queue Size
Threshold. The default setting is disabled.

Queue Size Threshold

This setting allows you to specify the number of


messages that define the time over which JTAPI

JTAPI will retry opening a connection to the
CallManager cluster in case of system failure. The
default is 30 seconds.

Server heartbeat Interval


(sec)

This setting specifies how often in seconds that the


connection between JTAPI and the
Cisco CallManager cluster will be verified to be
alive. If JTAPI fails to receive heartbeats, it will
establish a connection via the second CTIManager
specified in the provider open request.

Route Select Timeout (ms) This setting specifies the time in milliseconds that
JTAPI will wait for the application to respond to
the Route event. If the application does not
respond within this time, JTAPI will end the route
and send the corresponding RouteEnd event.

Administering User Information for JTAPI and TAPI


Applications
JTAPI and TAPI applications require that users be administered in the directory
and be given privilege to control one or more devices. Follow the procedures for
adding a user and assigning devices to a user in the Adding a New User section
before using a JTAPI or TAPI application. The list of devices assigned to the user
represents the phones that the user needs to control from the application (e.g.,
make calls, answer calls).

Personal Directory
Personal Directory provides a personal address book stored in the
Cisco CallManager LDAP directory, a Cisco IP Phone synchronizer, and two
Cisco IP Phone services: Personal Address Book and Personal Fast Dials.
This section contains the following sections:

Understanding Personal Directory, page A-1

System Requirements, page A-3

Downloading the Cisco IP Phone Address Book Synchronizer, page A-9

Preparing the Phone User for Personal Directory, page A-9

Understanding Personal Directory


With the stored personal address book, users can synchronize their Microsoft
Outlook and/or Outlook Express address book entries. The Personal Address
Book service accesses the stored entries. From a Cisco IP Phone 7960 or 7940,
users can look up entries, choose a selection, and press a softkey to dial the chosen
number.
With Personal Fast Dials, the Cisco IP phone user can assign index numbers (from
1 to 99) for quick dialing. The index numbers can be assigned to Personal Address
Book entries or to directory entries the user adds that do not correspond to the
address book. Users can assign and remove the Personal Fast Dials entries from
their phones.
