Introduction
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly Cisco Unified CallManager) serves as the 
software-based call-processing component of the Cisco Unified Communications family of products. A 
wide range of Cisco Media Convergence Servers provides high-availability server platforms for Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager call processing, services, and applications.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager 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 Unified Communications Manager open telephony 
application programming interface (API). 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides signaling and call control services to Cisco integrated 
telephony applications as well as third-party applications. Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
performs the following primary functions:
   Call processing 
   Signaling and device control
   Dial plan administration
   Phone feature administration
   Directory services
   Operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P)
   Programming interface to external voice-processing applications such as Cisco IP Communicator, 
Cisco Unified IP Interactive Voice Response (IP IVR), and Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Attendant Console
Additional Information
See the Related Topics section on page 1-10.
Key Features and Benefits
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager 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.

Chapter 1     Introduction
    Browsing to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
Because Cisco Unified Communications Manager is a software application, enhancing its capabilities in 
production environments requires only upgrading software on the server platform, thereby avoiding 
expensive hardware upgrade costs. 
Distribution of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and all Cisco Unified 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.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager, designed to work like an appliance, refers to the following 
functions:
   Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers can get preinstalled with software to ease customer 
and partner deployment and automatically search for updates and notify administrators when key 
security fixes and software upgrades are available for their system.This process comprises 
Electronic Software Upgrade Notification.
   You can upgrade Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers while they continue to process 
calls, so upgrades take place with minimal downtime.
   Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the Asian and Middle Eastern markets by 
providing support for Unicode on higher resolution phone displays.
   Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, 
and Security (FCAPS).

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS)
HTTPS, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), secures communication 
between a browser and a web server for Microsoft Windows users. HTTPS uses certificates to ensure 
server identities and to secure the browser connection. HTTPS uses a public key to encrypt the data, 
including the user login and password, during transport over the Internet.
To enable HTTPS, you must download a certificate that identifies the server during the connection 
process. You can accept the server certificate for the current session only, or you can download the 
certificate to a trust folder (file) to secure the current session and future sessions with that server. The 
trust folder stores the certificates for all your trusted sites.
The following Cisco Unified Communications Manager applications support HTTPS: Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Administration, Cisco Unity Connection Administration, Cisco Unified 
Serviceability, the Cisco Unified CM User Options, Trace Collection Tool, the Cisco Unified Real-Time 
Monitoring Tool (RTMT), and the XML (AXL) application programming interface. 
A self-signed certificate gets generated on the web server at installation (the certificate also gets 
migrated during upgrades).
Using Internet Explorer 6 and HTTPS with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
The first time that you (or a user) accesses Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration or 
other Cisco Unified Communications Manager SSL-enabled virtual directories (after the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager installation/upgrade) from a browser client, a Security Alert dialog box asks 
whether you trust the server.
When the dialog box displays, you must perform one of the following tasks:
   By clicking Yes, you choose to trust the certificate for the current web session only. If you trust the 
certificate for the current session only, the Security Alert dialog box displays each time that you 
access the application; that is, until you install the certificate in the trusted folder. 
   By clicking View Certificate > Install Certificate, you intend to perform certificate installation 
tasks, so you always trust the certificate. If you install the certificate in the trusted folder, the 
Security Alert dialog box does not display each time that you access the web application.

by using the localhost or IP address after you install the certificate in the trusted folder, a security 
alert indicates that the name of the security certificate does not match the name of the site that 
you are accessing.
Perform the following procedure to save the HTTPS certificate in the trusted folder in the browser client. 
For other tasks that you can perform in the Security Alert dialog box, refer to the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Security Guide.

OL-15406-01
Chapter 1     Introduction
    Browsing to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
Using Internet Explorer 7 and HTTPS with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
Internet Explorer (IE) 7 adds security features that change the way that the browser handles Cisco 
certificates for website access. Because Cisco provides a self-signed certificate for the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager server, Internet Explorer 7 flags the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration website as untrusted and provides a certificate error, even when the trust store contains 
the server certificate. 
Note Internet Explorer 7, which is a Windows Vista feature, also runs on Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), 
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). Ensure that Java 
Runtime Environment (JRE) is present to provide Java-related browser support for IE.
Be sure to import the Cisco Unified Communications Manager certificate to Internet Explorer 7 to secure 
access without having to reload the certificate every time that you restart the browser. If you continue to 
a website that has a certificate warning and the certificate is not in the trust store, Internet Explorer 7 
remembers the certificate for the current session only. 
After you download the server certificate, Internet Explorer 7 continues to display certificate errors for 
the website. You can ignore the security warnings when the Trusted Root Certificate Authority trust store 
for the browser contains the imported certificate.
The following procedure describes how to import the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
certificate to the root certificate trust store for Internet Explorer 7.
Procedure
Step 1 Browse to the application on the Tomcat server (for example, enter the hostname, localhost, or IP address 
for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration in the browser).
The browser displays a Certificate Error: Navigation Blocked page to indicate this website is untrusted.
Step 2 Click Continue to this website (not recommended) to access the server.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration window displays, and the browser displays 
the address bar and Certificate Error status in red.
Step 3 To import the server certificate, click the Certificate Error status box to display the status report. Click 
the View Certificates link in the report. 
Step 4 Verify the certificate details. 
The Certification Path tab displays This CA Root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted 
Root Certification Authorities store.
Step 5 Select the General tab in the Certificate window and click Install Certificate. 
The Certificate Import Wizard launches.
Step 6 To start the Wizard, click Next. 
The Certificate Store window displays.
Step 7 Verify that the Automatic option, which allows the wizard to select the certificate store for this certificate 
type, is selected and click Next. 
Step 8 Verify the setting and click Finish.
A security warning displays for the import operation.

Step 9 To install the certificate, click Yes.
The Import Wizard displays The import was successful.
Step 10 Click OK. The next time that you click the View certificates link, the Certification Path tab in the 
Certificate window displays This certificate is OK.
Step 11 To verify that the trust store contains the imported certificate, click Tools > Internet Options in the 
Internet Explorer toolbar and select the Content tab. Click Certificates and select the Trusted Root 
Certifications Authorities tab. Scroll to find the imported certificate in the list.
After importing the certificate, the browser continues to display the address bar and a Certificate Error 
status in red. The status persists even if you reenter the hostname, localhost, or IP address or refresh or 
relaunch the browser. 
Additional Information
See the Related Topics section on page 1-10.
Using Netscape and HTTPS with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
When you use HTTPS with Netscape, you can view the certificate credentials, trust the certificate for 
one session, trust the certificate until it expires, or not trust the certificate at all.
Tip If you trust the certificate for one session only, you must repeat the following procedure each time that 
you access the HTTPS-supported application. If you do not trust the certificate, you cannot access the 
application.
Note The address that you use to access Cisco Unified Communications Manager must match the name on the 
certificate or a message will display by default. If you access the web application by using the IP address 
after you install the certificate in the trusted folder, a security alert indicates that the name of the security 
certificate does not match the name of the site that you are accessing.
Perform the following procedure to save the certificate to the trusted folder:
Procedure
Step 1 Browse to the application on the Tomcat server (for example, enter the hostname, localhost, or IP address 
for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration in the browser).
The certificate authority dialog box displays.
Step 2 Click one of the following radio buttons:
   Accept this certificate for this session
   Do not accept this certificate and do not connect
   Accept this certificate forever (until it expires)
Note If you choose Do not accept, the application does not display.

Server Configuration
Use the server configuration to specify the address of the server where Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager is installed. If your network uses Domain Name System (DNS) services, you can specify the 
host name of the server. If your network does not use DNS services, you must specify the Internet 
Protocol (IP) address of the server.
Note You must update the DNS server with the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager name 
and address information before you use that information to configure the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager server.  
For DNS, make sure that you map the IP addresses of all servers, including dummy nodes, to the 
hostnames on the DNS server. If you do not perform this task, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
generates alarms that the License Manager service is down.
For information about how to add, update, or delete a server address in the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager database, see the Related Topics section on page 2-6.
Finding a Server
Because you might have several servers in your network, Cisco Unified Communications Manager lets 
you locate specific servers on the basis of specific criteria. Use the following procedure to locate servers.

Configuring a Server
This section describes how to add or update a server address to the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager database.
Before You Begin
Before you configure a server, review the following information:
   Make sure that you only add each server once on the Server Configuration window. If you add a 
server by using the host name and add the same server by using the IP address, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager cannot accurately determine component versions for the server after a 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager upgrade. If you have two entries in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Administration for the same server, delete one of the entries before you 
upgrade (see the Deleting a Server section on page 2-4).
   When you perform a fresh installation of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you must define 
any subsequent servers (nodes) in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration 
Server Configuration window before you can install Cisco Unified Communications Manager on  
2-3
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide

Chapter 2     Server Configuration
    Configuring a Server
each subsequent server. To define a subsequent node, click Add New, and perform the procedure in 
the Configuring a Server section on page 2-2. After you add the subsequent server, you can then 
install the Cisco Unified Communications Manager software on that server.
   You must update the DNS server with the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
name and address information before you use that information to configure the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager server.
   For DNS, make sure that you map the IP addresses of all servers, including dummy nodes, to the 
hostnames on the DNS server. If you do not perform this task, Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager generates alarms that the License Manager service is down.
   Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration does not prevent you from updating the IP 
Address field under any circumstances.
   When you attempt to change the IP address in the Server Configuration window, the following 
message displays after you save the configuration: Changing the host name/IP Address of the 
server may cause problems with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Are you sure that you 
want to continue? Before you click OK, make sure that you understand the implications of updating 
this field; for example, updating this setting incorrectly may cause Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager to become inoperable; that is, the database may not work, you may not be able to access 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, and so on. In addition, updating this field 
without performing other related tasks may cause problems for Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager.
   Changes to the server configuration do not take effect until you restart Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager. For information about restarting the Cisco CallManager service, refer to 
the Cisco Unified Serviceability Administration Guide.
   For additional information on changing the IP address, refer to the document, Changing the IP 
Address and Host Name for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.0(1).
Procedure
Step 1 Perform one of the following tasks:
   To add a server, choose System > Server and click Add New.
   To update a server, find the server by using the procedure in the Finding a Server section on 
page 2-1.
The Server Configuration window displays.
Step 2 Enter the appropriate settings as described in Table 2-1.
Step 3 Click the Save icon that displays in the tool bar in the upper, left corner of the window (or click the Save 
button that displays at the bottom of the window) to save the data and to add the server to the database.
Changes to the server configuration do not take effect until you restart Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager. For information about restarting the Cisco CallManager service, refer to the Cisco Unified 
Serviceability Administration Guide.

Deleting a Server
This section describes how to delete a server from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
Before You Begin
   In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you cannot delete the first node of the 
cluster, but you can delete subsequent nodes. Before you delete a subsequent node in the Find and 
List Servers window, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration displays the 
following message: You are about to permanently delete one or more servers. This action cannot 
be undone. Continue?. If you click OK, the server gets deleted from the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager database and is not available for use.
   When you attempt to delete a server from the Server Configuration window, a similar message as 
the one in the preceding paragraph displays. If you click OK, the server gets deleted from the Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager database and is not available for use.
   Cisco recommends that you do not delete any node that has Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
running on it, especially if the node has devices, such as phones, registered with it.
   Although dependency records exist for the subsequent nodes, the records do not prevent you from 
deleting the node.
   If any call park numbers are configured for Cisco Unified Communications Manager on the node 
that is being deleted, the deletion fails. Before you can delete the node, you must delete the call park 
numbers in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
   The system may automatically delete some devices, such as MOH servers, when you delete a server.
   Before you delete a node, Cisco recommends that you deactivate the services that are active on the 
subsequent node. Performing this task ensures that the services work after you delete the node.
   Changes to the server configuration do not take effect until you restart Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager. For information about restarting the Cisco CallManager service, refer to 
the Cisco Unified Serviceability Administration Guide.
Procedure
Step 1 Find the server by using the procedure in the Finding a Server section on page 2-1.
Step 2 From list of matching records, choose the server that you want to delete.
Step 3 Click the Delete Selected Item icon that displays in the tool bar in the upper, left corner of the window 
(or click the Delete Selected button that displays at the bottom of the window) to delete the server.

Configuration
Use Cisco Unified Communications Manager configuration to specify the ports and other properties for 
each Cisco Unified Communications Manager that is installed in the same cluster. A cluster comprises 
a set of Cisco Unified Communications Managers that enables redundancy.
For the first node in a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster, the server gets automatically 
added as part of the installation. To add additional Cisco Unified Communications Managers to a cluster, 
the administrator must configure a server (by using Server Configuration) and then add the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager (by using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration). This 
procedure repeats for each Cisco Unified Communications Manager that is in the cluster.

Cisco Communications Manager Service Deactivation
You can deactivate the Cisco CallManager service in Cisco Unified Serviceability. When you deactivate 
the Cisco CallManager service, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager where you deactivated the 
service becomes inactive for use. 
Note From Cisco Unified Serviceability, you can view the status of the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager by accessing Tools > Service Activation.   
When the Cisco CallManager service is deactivated, no one can make calls on that Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager.
You may still be able to perform configuration operations on a deactivated Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager if the Cisco Communications Manager Administration web service is active 
and the database is up and running.
When you reactivate the Cisco CallManager service on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the 
database automatically re-creates the Cisco Unified Communications Manager by retaining the original 
configuration (server name or IP address). This Cisco Unified Communications Manager then becomes 
active; you can verify that the Cisco CallManager service is running by accessing Tools > Control

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group 
Configuration
A Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group specifies a prioritized list of up to three Cisco Unified 
Communications Managers. The first Cisco Unified Communications Manager in the list serves as the 
primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager for that group, and the other members of the group 
serve as secondary and tertiary (backup) Cisco Unified Communications Managers.
Each device pool has one Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group that is assigned to it. When a 
device registers, it attempts to connect to the primary (first) Cisco Unified Communications Manager in 
the group that is assigned to its device pool. If the primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager is 
not available, the device tries to connect to the next Cisco Unified Communications Manager that is 
listed in the group, and so on.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Groups provide important features for your system:
   RedundancyThis feature enables you to designate a primary and backup Cisco Unified 
Communications Managers for each group.
   Call processing load balancingThis feature enables you to distribute the control of devices across 
multiple Cisco Unified Communications Managers.

Phone NTP Reference Configuration
If you want to do so, you can configure phone Network Time Protocol (NTP) references in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Administration to ensure that a phone that is running SIP gets its date and 
time from the NTP server. If all NTP servers do not respond, the phone that is running SIP uses the date 
header in the 200 OK response to the REGISTER message for the date and time.
After you add the phone NTP reference to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you 
must add it to a date/time group. In the date/time group, you prioritize the phone NTP references, starting 
with the first server that you want the phone to contact.
The date/time group configuration gets specified in the device pool, and the device pool gets specified 
on the phone page.

Deleting the Phone NTP Reference
This section describes how to delete a phone NTP reference from the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager database.
Before You Begin
Before you can delete the phone NTP reference from Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration, you must delete the phone NTP reference from the date/time group. To find which 
date/time groups use the phone NTP reference, choose Dependency Records from the Related Links 
drop-down list box in the Phone NTP Reference Configuration window and click Go. When you know 
which date/time groups use the phone NTP reference, you can then remove that phone NTP reference 
from that group.
If the dependency records feature is not enabled for the system, the dependency records summary 
window displays a message that shows the action that you can take to enable the dependency records; 
the message also displays information about high CPU consumption that is related to the dependency 
records feature. For more information about dependency records, refer to the Accessing Dependency 
Records section on page A-2.
Mode From the drop-down list box, choose the mode for the phone NTP reference. 
The values from which you can choose follow:
   Directed BroadcastIf you choose this default NTP mode, the phone 
accesses date/time information from any NTP server but gives the listed 
NTP servers (1st = primary, 2nd = secondary) priority. For example, if 
the phone configuration contains NTP servers where A = primary NTP 
server and B = secondary/backup NTP server, the phone uses the 
broadcast packets (derives the date/time) from NTP server A. If NTP 
server A is not broadcasting, the phone accesses date/time information 
from NTP server B. If neither NTP server is broadcasting, the phone 
accesses date/time information from any other NTP server. If no other 
NTP server is broadcasting, the phone will derive the date/time from the 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager 200 OK response to the 
REGISTER message.
   UnicastIf you choose this mode, the phone will send an NTP query 
packet to that particular NTP server. If the phone gets no response, the 
phone will access date/time information from any other NTP server. If 
no other NTP servers respond, the phone will derive the date/time from 
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 200 OK response to the 
REGISTER message.
Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager currently does not support 
the Multicast and Anycast modes. If you choose either of these 
modes, Cisco Unified Communications Manager will default to the 
Directed Broadcast mode.

Date/Time Group Configuration
Use Date/Time Groups to define time zones for the various devices that are connected to Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager. Each device exists as a member of only one device pool, and each device 
pool has only one assigned Date/Time Group.
Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically configures a default Date/Time Group 
that is called CMLocal. CMLocal synchronizes to the active date and time of the operating system on 
the server where Cisco Unified Communications Manager is installed. After installing Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager, 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 Unified 
Communications Manager or upgrade the Cisco Unified Communications Manager software to a new 
release. Do not change the name of CMLocal.
Tip For a worldwide distribution of Cisco Unified 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:

Presence Group Configuration
When you configure Presence in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, an interested 
party, known as a watcher, can monitor the real-time status of a directory number or SIP URI, a presence 
entity, from the device of the watcher.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager controls which destinations a watcher can monitor with 
presence groups. A presence group contains watchers and the destinations that can be monitored by the 
watchers in the group. To allow watchers in one group to monitor directory numbers in other groups, you 
specify permission settings to allow or block (disallow) the presence request. Presence authorization 
works with the presence groups that are configured to ensure that a watcher has permission to monitor 
the status of a destination.
After you configure the presence groups, you apply a presence group to the following items in Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager Administration:
   Directory numberPresence entity for which you want status
   SIP trunkWatcher
   Phone that is running SIPWatcher
   Phone that is running SCCPWatcher
   Application userWatcher
   End userWatcher
For information about configuring presence groups, refer to the Presence chapter in the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

Region Configuration
Use regions to specify the bandwidth that is used for audio and video calls within a region and between 
existing regions. 
   The audio codec determines the type of compression and the maximum amount of bandwidth that is 
used per audio call. 
   The video call bandwidth comprises the sum of the audio bandwidth and video bandwidth but does 
not include overhead.
Note The default audio codec for all calls through Cisco Unified Communications Manager specifies G.711. 
If you do not plan to use any other audio codec, you do not need to use regions. See the Related Topics 
section on page 8-9 for more information.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports up to 2000 regions. The following limitations and 
restrictions apply: 
   Configure as many regions as possible to Use System Default for inter-/intra-region audio codecs 
and video bandwidth.
   This enhancement requires an MCS 7845H1 or higher server.
Use the following procedures to add, update, or delete regions:

Chapter 8     Region Configuration
    Configuring a Region
Configuring a Region
Use the following procedure to add or update a region.
Before You Begin
For every region, an association exists with that region in other regions; therefore, the addition of regions 
occurs in a matrixlike fashion. For example, if you add regions A, B, and C, a matrix with region A, 
region B, and region C as both columns and rows results, as shown in the following matrix:
If you assign 20 regions, the database adds 400 entries (20 x 20). Some performance limitations exist 
when large numbers of regions are assigned.
Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows addition of a maximum of 500 regions.
Configuring Default Values
Region entries contain the following values:
   Audio CodecYou define audio codec values that are to be used within the same region, and you 
also define audio codec values that are to be used between regions. 
   Video Call BandwidthYou define video call bandwidth values that are to be used within the same 
region, and you also define video call bandwidth values that are to be used between regions.
   Link Loss TypeYou define the link loss types that are to be used within the same region, and you 
also define link loss types that are to be used between regions.
Tip If you set both the audio codec values and the video call bandwidth values to use the default, the system 
optimizes its performance by making more efficient use of resources.
Note Regions have default values for use within a region (the recommended default value specifies G.711), 
and regions have default values for use between regions (the recommended default value specifies 
G.729).
You configure the default values for regions in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration Service Parameters Configuration window. Use the following procedure:
1. Choose System > Service Parameters.
2. From the drop-down Server list box, choose the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server that 
you want to configure.
3. From the drop-down Service list box, choose Cisco CallManager (Active) as the service.

group serve as backup Cisco Unified Communications Managers for 
redundancy.
Calling Search Space for 
Auto-registration
Choose the calling search space to assign to devices in this device pool 
that auto-register with Cisco Communications Manager. The calling 
search space specifies partitions that devices can search when 
attempting to complete a call.
Reverted Call Focus Priority Choose a clusterwide priority setting for reverted calls that are invoked 
by the hold reversion feature. This setting specifies which call type, 
incoming calls or reverted calls, have priority for user actions, such as 
going off hook.
   DefaultIf you choose this option, incoming calls have priority.
   HighestIf you choose this option, reverted calls have priority.
The Not Selected setting specifies the reverted call focus priority 
setting for the default device pool at installation. At installation, 
incoming calls have priority. You cannot choose this setting in Cisco

as a 32-bit unsigned integer. The default for the CNR DHCP server 
specifies seven days (604,800 seconds).
Renewal(T1) Time (sec) This field specifies the time interval from address assignment until the 
client transitions to the RENEWING state. Typically, set this field to 
half the value of the IP address lease time. For example, if the IP address 
lease time is typically set to 60,000 seconds, the renewal time gets set to 
30,000 seconds.
Rebinding (T2) Time (sec) This field specifies the time interval from address assignment until the 
client transitions to the REBINDING state. Specify the value in units of 
seconds and as a 32-bit unsigned integer. Typically, set this field to 
approximately 75 percent of the value of the IP address lease time. For 
example, if the IP address lease time is set to 60,000 seconds, the 
rebinding time typically gets set to about 45,000 seconds. In Windows, 
85 percent of the value of the IP address lease time represents the 
standard.

LDAP SystemConfiguration
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager, LDAP directory configuration takes place in three related 
windows:
   LDAP System
   LDAP Directory
   LDAP Authentication
You can make changes to LDAP Directory information and LDAP Authentication settings only if 
synchronization from the customer LDAP directory is enabled in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager Administration LDAP System window.
Administrators use this window to enable LDAP synchronization and to set up the LDAP server type 
and the LDAP attribute name for the user ID.
Note After an LDAP Directory configuration for the DirSync service gets created or the LDAP user 
authentication is enabled, the settings in the LDAP System window become read-only.
Note After you configure LDAP synchronization in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, 
users without last names in the corporate directory do not synchronize with the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager database. No error displays in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration, but the log file indicates which users did not synchronize.
Use the following topics to configure LDAP system information:

Updating LDAP SystemInformation
Use the following procedure to update LDAP system information.
Before You Begin
The setting of the Enable Synchronizing from LDAP Server check box in this window affects the 
administrator ability to modify end users. LDAP synchronization applies only to end users; LDAP 
synchronization does not affect application users. Refer to the Understanding the Directory section on 
page 20-1 for more information about LDAP synchronization.
For end user data, you cannot use the End User Configuration window to update the attributes that get 
synchronized from the corporate directory. You can update these attributes only in the corporate 
directory itself, after which you should perform a resynchronization.
Note If end users exist in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database before synchronization with 
a corporate directory occurs, the system will delete those end users that did not have a matching user ID 
in the corporate directory. For example, if users bob and sanjay were in the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager database, but only bob was in the LDAP directory, then sanjay would be 
marked inactive and eventually get deleted by the garbage collector program.
Procedure

Location Configuration
Use locations to implement call admission control in a centralized call-processing system. Call 
admission control enables you to regulate audio quality and video availability by limiting the amount of 
bandwidth that is available for audio and video calls over links between the locations. For more 
information, refer to the Call Admission Control chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager System Guide.
Note If you do not use call admission control to limit the audio and video bandwidth on an IP WAN link, an 
unlimited number of calls can be active on that link at the same time. This situation can cause the audio 
quality of each audio call and the video quality of each video call to degrade as the link becomes 
oversubscribed.
In a centralized call-processing system, a single Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster 
provides call processing for all locations on the IP telephony network. The Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager 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 
Unified Communications Manager. IP WAN links connect the remote locations to the main location.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports up to 1000 locations. The following limitations and 
restrictions apply: 
   Configure as many locations as possible to Use System Default for the RSVP policy. 
   This enhancement requires an MCS 7845H1 or higher server.

Physical Location Configuration
Physical locations support the Device Mobility feature. Physical locations provide a means of 
distinguishing the parameters that relate to a specific geographical location from other parameters. For 
example, a media resources server may serve a specific office or campus within the enterprise. When a 
device roams to another office or campus and reregisters with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, 
you want to have the media resources server at the roaming location serve the device. By defining the 
physical location according to availability of media services, you can assure efficient and cost-effective 
reassignment of services as devices move from one physical location to another. Depending upon the 
network structure and allocation of services, you may define physical locations based upon a city, 
enterprise campus, or building.

Starting the License Manager Service
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager server where the license file is loaded assumes the 
functionality of a license manager. (The license file gets loaded on the first node only.) For information 
on license files, refer to the Obtaining a License File section on page 31-2. 
The license manager serves as the logical component that keeps track of the licenses that get purchased 
and used. It refers to the processes that control the checkin and checkout of the licenses. It keeps track 
of the number of license units that are required for each phone and application type. The license manager 
has responsibility for issuing and reclaiming licenses and for detecting whether an overdraft of licenses 
occurs.
Start the license manager service by using Cisco Unified Serviceability. This section describes the 
procedures to start, stop, or restart the service.
Note Because license manager is a network service, it automatically starts and runs after the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager installation.
Procedure
Step 1 In Cisco Unified Serviceability, choose Tools > Control Center - Network Services.
The Control CenterNetwork Services window displays. 
Step 2 Choose the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server from the Servers drop-down list box.

information on obtaining licenses for new Cisco Unified Communications Manager systems and/or device 
installations as well as for Cisco Unified Communications Manager nodes that have been upgraded from 
various releases. 
Note You do not need to obtain new licenses if you are upgrading within a software release train, such as Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager 6.0(1) to 6.1(1).
To obtain a license, see the section that applies to your situation:
   If you are installing new Cisco Unified Communications Manager or devices that require additional 
device license units, see the New Cisco Unified Communications Manager Nodes and Devices 
section on page 31-2.
   If you are upgrading from Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x, obtain a software feature license as 
described in Obtaining a Software Feature License section on page 31-3 and then upgrade the 
product licenses as described in the Upgrading Product Licenses section on page 31-4.
   If you are upgrading from supported versions of Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.x or 6.x, 
see the Obtaining a Software Feature License section on page 31-3. 
New Cisco Unified Communications Manager Nodes and Devices
Use the following procedure to obtain a node license file for new Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager nodes (servers) and to obtain device licenses for new devices that require additional device 
license units. 
Each node in your cluster requires one node license unit. Each device type requires a fixed number of 
licenses units, depending on the type. For example, Cisco Unified IP Phone 7920 requires four license 
units, and Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 requires five units. If you want licenses for four Cisco Unified 
IP Phones 7920 and four Cisco Unified IP Phones 7970 phones, you require 36 phone license units. 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager contains a starter licenses that you can use to begin new 
installations of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The system overwrites the starter license when 
you obtain and upload your permanent licenses. For more information on starter licenses, see the Starter 
Licenses section in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide. 
You use the Product Authorization Key (PAK) that came with your product to obtain the necessary 
permanent licenses, as described in the following procedure.

Use autoregistration if you want Cisco Unified Communications Manager to assign directory numbers 
automatically to new phones as they connect to the Cisco Unified Communications IP telephony 
network. 
Note Cisco recommends that you use autoregistration to add fewer than 100 phones to your network. To add 
more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT).
After a phone has autoregistered, 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 Autoregistration, page 33-1
   Disabling Autoregistration, page 33-3
   Autoregistration Configuration Settings, page 33-4
   Reusing Autoregistration Numbers, page 33-5
Enabling Autoregistration
This section describes how to enable autoregistration for new devices.
Caution Cisco Unified Communications Manager disables autoregistration by default. Enabling autoregistration 
carries a security risk in that rogue phones can automatically register with Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager. You should enable autoregistration only for brief periods when you want to 
perform bulk phone adds.  
Configuring mixed mode clusterwide security through the Cisco CTL Client automatically disables 
autoregistration. If you want to use autoregistration and you have configured security, you must change 
the clusterwide security mode to non-secure through the Cisco CTL Client.
Before You Begin
Check the following points before you begin to enable autoregistration:
   Ensure that the TFTP server is up and running. Ensure that the DHCP option for TFTP specifies the 
correct server.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide
OL-15406-01
Chapter 33     Autoregistration Configuration
    Enabling Autoregistration
   Check that the Device Defaults Configuration window specifies the correct phone image names for 
SIP and SCCP. Ensure that these files are available on the TFTP server.
   Ensure that directory numbers are available in the autoregistration range.
   Ensure enough license points are available to register new phones.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose System > Enterprise Parameters.
The Enterprise Parameters Configuration window displays.
Step 2 In the Auto Registration Phone Protocol drop-down list box, choose either SCCP or SIP.
Step 3 Choose System > Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
The Find and List Cisco Unified Communications Managers window displays. Click Find.
Step 4 From the list of Cisco Unified Communications Managers, choose the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager, in the cluster, that you want to enable for autoregistration.
Note Always enable or disable autoregistration only on this Cisco Unified Communications Manager. 
If you shift the autoregistration function to another Cisco Unified Communications Manager in 
the cluster, you must reconfigure the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Managers, the 
Default Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group, and, possibly, the default device pools.
Step 5 Enter the appropriate Autoregistration Information, as described in Table 33-1.
Step 6 To save the changes in the database, click Save.
Step 7 Choose System > Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group.
The Find and List Cisco Unified Communications Manager Groups window displays. Click Find.
Step 8 From the list of Cisco Unified Communications Manager groups, choose the group that is enabled for 
autoregistration. (In most systems, the name of this group specifies Default. You can, however, choose 
a different Cisco Unified Communications Manager group.) 
This group serves as the default Cisco Unified Communications Manager group for devices that 
autoregister. Ensure that the Selected Cisco Unified Communications Managers list for this group 
contains the Cisco Unified Communications Manager that you configured for autoregistration in Step 4. 
The Cisco Unified Communications Managers get selected in the order in which they are listed in the 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager group.
Step 9 If you made any changes to the group configuration, click Save to save the changes in the database.
Step 10 Configure a calling search space specifically for autoregistration. For example, you can use the 
autoregistration calling search space to limit autoregistered phones to internal calls only.
Step 11 Configure the Default device pool for autoregistration by assigning the Default Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Group and autoregistration calling search space to the Default device pool. If 
you are configuring a separate default device pool for each device type, use the Device Defaults 
Configuration window to assign the default device pools to the device.
Step 12 Enable autoregistration only during brief periods when you want to install and autoregister new devices 
(preferably when overall system usage is at a minimum). During other periods, turn autoregistration off 
to prevent unauthorized devices from registering with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Step 13 Install the devices that you want to autoregister.
Step 14 Reconfigure the autoregistered devices and assign them to their permanent device pools.

Table 33-1 describes the autoregistration configuration settings. For more information about related 
procedures, see the Related Topics section on page 33-6.
Table 33-1 Autoregistration Configuration Settings 
Field Name Description 
Starting Directory Number Enter the first directory number to use for autoregistration of devices.
Specifying a range of directory numbers in the Starting Directory 
Number and Ending Directory Number fields automatically enables 
autoregistration.
Setting the starting and ending directory numbers to the same value 
disables autoregistration.
Ending Directory Number Enter the last directory number to use for autoregistration of devices. 
Specifying a range of directory numbers in the Starting Directory 
Number and Ending Directory Number fields automatically enables 
autoregistration.
Setting the starting and ending directory numbers to the same value 
disables autoregistration.
Partition Choose the partition to which autoregistered directory numbers belong. 
If you are not using partitions, choose <None>.
You must choose a valid directory number range for autoregistration 
before you can choose a partition and external phone number mask.
The partition field resets if you disable autoregistration.
If a large number of partitions exist, the Find button displays next to 
the drop-down list box. Click the Find button to display the Find and 
List Partitions window. In the Find partition where field, choose search 
criteria and enter a partial partition name. In the list of partitions that 
displays, click the desired partition name and click OK.

Specify the mask that is used to format caller ID information for 
external (outbound) calls that are made from the autoregistered 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 autoregistered device. 
For example, if you specify a mask of 972813XXXX and enable the 
Use External Phone Number Mask option on the route pattern that is 
used to make the external call, an external call from extension 1234 
displays a caller ID number of 9728131234. If you specify a mask of 
all literal digits (such as 9728135000) to represent a main attendant 
number, that literal number becomes the caller ID that displays for an 
external call from any autoregistered device.

Chapter 33     Autoregistration Configuration
    Reusing Autoregistration Numbers
Reusing Autoregistration Numbers
When you connect a new device to the network, Cisco Unified Communications Manager assigns the 
next available (unused) autoregistration directory number to that device. If you manually change the 
directory number of an autoregistered device, or if you delete that device from the database, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager can reuse the autoregistration directory number of that device.
When a device attempts to autoregister, Cisco Unified Communications Manager searches the range of 
autoregistration numbers that 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 that was 
assigned. If it reaches the ending directory number in the range, Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager continues to search from the starting directory number in the range.
You can use the following procedure to reset the range of autoregistration directory numbers and force 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager to search from the starting number in the range.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose System > Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Step 2 Choose the Cisco Unified Communications Manager where you want to reset autoregistration.
Step 3 Write down the current settings for Starting Directory Number and Ending Directory Number.
Step 4 Click Auto-registration Disabled on this Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Caution New phones cannot autoregister while autoregistration is disabled.
Step 5 Click Save.
Auto-registration Disabled 
on this Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager
Cisco Unified Communications Manager disables autoregistration by 
default to prevent unauthorized connections to the network. When 
autoregistration is disabled, you must configure the directory numbers 
manually whenever you add new devices to your network.
   Uncheck the Auto-registration Disabled option to enable 
autoregistration for this Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
   Check the Auto-registration Disabled option to disable 
autoregistration for this Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
You can disable autoregistration by setting the Starting Directory 
Number and Ending Directory Number to the same value.
If starting and ending directory numbers are specified when you disable 
autoregistration by checking this option, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager sets the starting and ending directory 
numbers to the same value.
The partition and external phone mask information fields also reset 
when you disable autoregistration.

Automated Alternate Routing Group 
Configuration
Automated alternate routing (AAR) provides a mechanism to reroute calls through the PSTN or other 
network by using an alternate number when Cisco Unified Communications Manager blocks a call due 
to insufficient location bandwidth. With automated alternate routing, the caller does not need to hang up 
and redial the called party. The AAR group represents the dialing area where the line/directory number 
(DN), the Cisco voice mail port, and the gateway are located.
For each AAR group, you enter the prefix digits that are used for automated alternate routing within the 
AAR group, as well as the prefix digits used for automated alternate routing between a given AAR group 
and other AAR groups. Devices, such as gateways, phones (by means of directory numbers), and trunks, 
associate with AAR groups. If automated alternate routing of calls takes place, you may also associate 
devices with an AAR calling search space.
Use the following topics to find, add, update, or delete AAR groups:

   Configuring an AAR Group, page 34-3
   AAR Group Configuration Settings, page 34-3
   Deleting an AAR Group, page 34-4
   AAR Group Configuration Settings, page 34-3
Note For AAR to function, you must configure AAR groups and also ensure that the Automated Alternate 
Routing Enable clusterwide service parameter is set to True. (The default value for this service 
parameter specifies False.)
Refer to the Understanding Route Plans chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
System Guide for more information about automated alternate routing groups.

Application Dial Rules Configuration
The administrator uses dial rules configuration to add and sort the priority of dialing rules. Dial rules for 
applications such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant automatically strip numbers 
from or add numbers to telephone numbers that a user dials. For example, the dial rules automatically 
add the digit 9 in front of a 7-digit telephone number to provide access to an outside line. 
For example, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant, the assistant can perform a directory 
search from the assistant console. The assistant can drag and drop the directory entry to the My Calls 
panel on the assistant console, which invokes a call to the number that is listed in the entry. The dial rules 
apply to the number that is listed in the entry before the call gets made.

SIP Dial Rules Configuration
The administrator uses SIP dial rules configuration to configure dial plans for phones that are running 
SIP and associate them with the following phones that are running SIP:
   Cisco Unified IP Phone 7911, 7941, 7961, 7970, and 7971. These phones use the 
7940_7960_OTHER dial rules patterns. Key Press Markup Language (KPML) allows the digits to 
be sent to Cisco Unified Communications Manager digit by digit; SIP Dial Rules allow a pattern of 
digits to be collected locally on the phone prior to sending to Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager. If SIP dial rules are not configured, KPML gets used. To increase the performance of 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (increasing the number of calls that get processed), Cisco 
recommends that administrators configure SIP dial rules.
   Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940 and 7960. These phones use the 7940_7960_OTHER dial rules 
patterns and do not support KPML. If the administrator does not configure a SIP dial plan for these 
phones, the user must press the Dial softkey or wait a specified time before digits are sent to Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager for processing. This extra step for the user delays the actual call 
from being processed.
   Cisco Unified IP Phone 7905 and 7912. These phones use the 7905_7912 dial rules patterns and do 
not support KPML. If the administrator does not configure a SIP dial plan for these phones, the user 
must press the Dial softkey or wait a specified time before digits are sent to Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager for processing. This extra step for the user delays the actual call from 
being processed.
If the administrator does not configure a dial plan for a phone that is running SIP, the user must press 
the Dial softkey unless the phone supports KPML. If the administrator configures SIP dial plans, those 
dial plans must get associated with a phone that is running SIP, so the dial plans get sent to the device.

Dial Parameter From this drop-down list box, choose the type of parameter for this 
pattern from the following choices:
   PatternUse this parameter for 7905_7912 and 
7940_7960_OTHER dial rules. See the Pattern Formats section on 
page 37-5 for specific pattern formats.
   ButtonThis parameter specifies the dial pattern to which line 
button applies. If the user is initiating a call on line button 1, only the 
dial pattern that is specified for Button 1 applies. If this optional 
parameter is not configured, the dial pattern applies to all lines. It 
only applies to the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940, 7941, 7960, 7961, 
7970, and 7971. The administrator must enter a button number as the 
value. The button number corresponds to the order of the buttons on 
the side of the screen that is on the phone, from top to bottom, with 
1 being on top. The Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940 and 7941 have two 
line buttons, the 7960 and 7961 have six line buttons, and the 7970 
and 7971 have eight line buttons.
   TimeoutThis parameter specifies the time, in seconds, before the 
system times out and dials the number as entered by the user. To have 
the number dial immediately, specify 0. Use this parameter only for 
7940_7960_OTHER dial rules. 
   UserThis parameter represents the tag that automatically gets 
added to the dialed number. Valid values include IP and Phone for 
this tag that is not case sensitive. Use this parameter only for 
7940_7960_OTHER dial rules.

Pattern Formats
See the following formats for the 7905_7912 and 7940_7960_OTHER patterns.
Value for 7905_7912Pattern
   Period (.) matches any digit.
   Hyphen (-) means more digits can be entered. If this character is needed, it must appear at the end 
of an individual rule. For example, 1408t5- is legal, but 1408t5-3... is illegal.
   Pound sign (#) acts as the terminating key, and termination can be applied only after matching 
hits >#. So >* means that the terminating character specifies the asterisk (*); that is, the terminating 
key must follow the greater-than sign (>).
   Characters tn set the timeout to n seconds.
Note n equals 0-9, and a-z, which ranges from 0 to 26.
   Characters rn repeat the last pattern n times.
Note The characters ># and tn specify modifiers, not patterns. n equals 0-9 and a-z, which ranges 
from 0 to 26. Use the repeat modifier to specify more rules in less space.
   Modifier S causes rule-matching to cease (that is, if a rule matches and the modifier S is seen, 
all other rules after that matching rule do not get used for matching). 
Value For the dial parameters that this table describes, enter the value for that 
field here. For example, enter 1 for Button 1 of PLAR, or 8,..... for a 
7940_7960_OTHER pattern.
Delete Parameter Check this check box to delete the dial pattern; then, click the Delete 
Selected button.
Edit Parameter Click this button to update an existing parameter.
Add New Parameter Click this button to add a new parameter to the pattern. 
Delete Selected Click this button to delete a parameter or a pattern.

    SIP Dial Rule Configuration Settings
Value for 7940_7960_OTHER Pattern
   Period (.) matches any character.
   Pound sign (#) acts as the terminating key, and termination can be applied only after matching 
hits >#. So >* means that the terminating character specifies the asterisk (*); that is, the terminating 
key must follow the greater-than sign (>).
Note You must configure the pound sign in the pattern field for it to be valid for 7940_7960_OTHER.
   Asterisk (*) matches one or more characters. The * gets processed as a wildcard character. You can 
override this by preceding the * with a backward slash (\) escape sequence, which results in the 
sequence \*. The phone automatically strips the \, so it does not appear in the outgoing dial string. 
When * is received as a dial digit, it gets matched by the wildcard characters * and period (.).
   Comma (,) causes the phone to generate a secondary dial tone.
Example: 7.... will match any 4-digit DN that starts with 7. 8,..... will match 8, play secondary dial 
tone (default value), then match any 5-digit DN.
SIP Dial Rules Examples
Table 37-2 provides some example SIP dial rules for the 7905_7912 dial rules.
Table 37-2 SIP Dial Rule Examples for 7905_7912 Dial Rules 
Pattern String Effect
.t7>#......t4- You must enter at least one digit. After that, the send occurs after 7 
seconds. The terminating # character can also be applied after the first 
digit is entered. After 7 digits are entered, the timeout changes to 4 
seconds. The * character means that more digits can be entered, as long 
as timeout or # does not terminate the string. 
911 and 9911 Send immediately. Configure a SIP dial rule for each of these strings, 
with the timeout dial parameter set to 0, to ensure that no delay occurs in 
sending the call. The user does not have to press the Dial softkey to 
initiate the call, even if the phone does not support Key Press Markup 
Language (KPML).
1t7>#..........t1- You must enter at least one digit. After that, the send occurs after 7 
seconds. The terminating character # can also be applied after the first 
digit is entered. After 10 digits are entered, the timeout changes to 1 
second. The * character means that more digits can be entered, as long as 
timeout or # does not terminate the string. 
0t4>#.t7-"  After a 0, if no other digit is entered, the send occurs after 4 seconds. If 
another digit is entered, send occurs after 7 seconds. Again, # acts as the 
terminating digit.

Table 37-3 provides some example SIP dial rules for the 7940_7960_OTHER dial rules.
Deleting a SIP Dial Rule
Perform the following procedure to delete a SIP dial rule.
Procedure
Step 1 From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Call Routing > Dial Rules > 
SIP Dial Rules.
Step 2 Locate the SIP dial rule that you want to delete. See the Finding a SIP Dial Rule section on page 37-2.
Step 3 Check the check box next to the SIP dial rule that you want to delete and click Delete Selected.
A dialog box displays to warn you that you cannot undo deletion of SIP dial rules.
Step 4 To delete the SIP dial rule, click OK or, to cancel the action, click Cancel. If you click OK, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager removes the SIP dial rule from the SIP dial rules list.
Note You can delete multiple dial rules from the Find and List SIP Dial Rules window by checking 
the check boxes next to the appropriate dial rules and clicking Delete Selected. You can delete 
all the SIP dial rules in the window by clicking Select All and then clicking Delete Selected.
Additional Information
See the Related Topics section on page 37-8.
Table 37-3 SIP Dial Rule Examples for 7940_7960_OTHER Dial Rules 
Pattern String Effect
123#45#6 The 123#45#6 string gets matched if the user dials 123#45#6. Pressing 
the pound sign (#) does not cause the phone to dial immediately because 
# is explicitly specified. For Cisco SIP IP Phones 7940 and 7960, dialing 
1# or 123#4# causes the phone to dial immediately.
911 and 9911 Send immediately. Configure a SIP dial rule for each of these strings, 
with the timeout dial parameter set to 0, to ensure that no delay occurs in 
sending the call. The user does not have to press the Dial softkey to 
initiate the call, even if the phone does not support Key Press Markup 
Language (KPML).
12\*345 This example uses the backward slash (\) and asterisk (*) to indicate that 
the asterisk (*) is a dialed digit. If you omit the backslash (\), the 
asterisk(*) gets treated as a wildcard pattern match. If you use the 
backslash (\) with a character other than the asterisk (*), the \ gets 
ignored, and the \\ character gets matched. If you need to explicitly 
specify the \ character in a dial plan, use \\. The \ does not get sent out as 
part of the dialed digit string because the phone removes it before it sends 
the dial string.

Route Filter Configuration
Route filters, along with route patterns/hunt pilots, use dialed-digit strings to determine how a call is 
handled. Route filters only apply when you configure a pattern that contains the at (@) wildcard. When 
the route pattern/hunt pilot contains the @ wildcard, Cisco Unified Communications Manager routes 
calls according to the numbering plan that is specified in the Numbering Plan drop-down list box. The 
route filter window that Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays varies according to the 
numbering plan that you select.
Route filters allow you to determine which route patterns/hunt pilots your users can dial; for example, 
whether your users can manually choose a long-distance carrier (by dialing 101 plus a carrier access 
code).
Refer to Understanding Route Plans in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for 
more information.
Tip Always add and define the route filter first and then add the route filter to the route pattern/hunt pilot.

Chapter 38     Route Filter Configuration
    Route Filter Tag Descriptions
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. (See Table 17-5 in the Special Characters and Settings section of the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager System Guide for definitions of wildcard characters.) The descriptions in 
Table 38-2 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 that 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 filter tags vary depending on the numbering plan that you choose from the Numbering Plan 
drop-down list box on the Route Filter Configuration window. Table 38-2 describes the route filter tags 
for the North American Numbering Plan.
Table 38-2 Route Filter Tags 
Tag Description
AREA-CODE This three-digit area code in the form [2-9]XX 
identifies the area code for long-distance calls.
COUNTRY CODE These one-, two-, or three-digit codes specify the 
destination country for international calls.
END-OF-DIALING This single character identifies the end of the 
dialed-digit string. The # character serves as the 
end-of-dialing signal for international numbers that are 
dialed within the NANP.
INTERNATIONAL-ACCESS This two-digit access code specifies international 
dialing. Calls that originate in the U.S. use 01 for this 
code.
INTERNATIONAL-DIRECT-DIAL This one-digit code identifies a direct-dialed 
international call. Calls that originate in the U.S. use 1 
for this code.
INTERNATIONAL-OPERATOR This one-digit code identifies an operator-assisted 
international call. This code specifies 0 for calls that 
originate in the U.S.
LOCAL-AREA-CODE This three-digit local area code in the form [2-9]XX 
identifies the local area code for 10-digit local calls.
LOCAL-DIRECT-DIAL This one-digit code identifies a direct-dialed local call. 
NANP calls use 1 for this code.
LOCAL-OPERATOR This one-digit code identifies an operator-assisted 
local call. NANP calls use 0 for this code.
LONG-DISTANCE-DIRECT-DIAL This one-digit code identifies a direct-dialed, 
long-distance call. NANP calls use 1 for this code. 
38-8
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide
OL-15406-01
Chapter 38     Route Filter Configuration
    Route Filter Tag Descriptions
LONG-DISTANCE-OPERATOR These one- or two-digit codes identify an 
operator-assisted, long-distance call within the NANP. 
Operator-assisted calls use 0 for this code, and 
operator access uses 00.
NATIONAL-NUMBER This tag specifies the nation-specific part of the digit 
string for an international call.
OFFICE-CODE This tag designates the first three digits of a seven-digit 
directory number in the form [2-9]XX.
SATELLITE-SERVICE This one-digit code provides access to satellite 
connections for international calls.
SERVICE This three-digit code designates services such as 911 
for emergency, 611 for repair, and 411 for information.
SUBSCRIBER This tag specifies the last four digits of a seven-digit 
directory number in the form XXXX. 
TRANSIT-NETWORK This four-digit value identifies a long-distance carrier. 
Do not include the leading 101 carrier access code 
prefix in the TRANSIT-NETWORK value. Refer to 
TRANSIT-NETWORK-ESCAPE for more information.
TRANSIT-NETWORK-ESCAPE This three-digit value precedes the long-distance 
carrier identifier. The value for this field specifies 101. 
Do not include the four-digit carrier identification code 
in the TRANSIT-NETWORK-ESCAPE value. Refer to 
TRANSIT-NETWORK for more information.

Chapter 38     Route Filter Configuration
    Route Filter Tag Descriptions
Route filter tag operators determine whether a call is filtered based on the existence, and sometimes the 
contents, of the dialed-digit string that is associated with that tag. The operators EXISTS and 
DOES-NOT-EXIST simply check for the existence of that part of the dialed-digit string. The operator 
== matches the actual dialed digits with the specified value or pattern. Table 38-3 describes the operators 
that can be used with route filter tags. 
Caution Do not enter route filter tag values for tags that are using the operators EXISTS, DOES-NOT-EXIST, or 
NOT-SELECTED.
Examples
Example 1: A route filter that uses AREA-CODE and the operator DOES-NOT-EXIST selects all 
dialed-digit strings that do not include an area code. 
Example 2: A route filter that uses AREA-CODE, the operator ==, and the entry 515 selects all 
dialed-digit strings that include the 515 area code. 
Example 3: A route filter that uses AREA-CODE, the operator ==, and the entry 5[2-9]X selects all 
dialed-digit strings that include area codes in the range of 520 through 599.
Table 38-3 Route Filter Operators 
Operator Description
NOT-SELECTED Specifies do not filter calls based on the dialed-digit 
string that is associated with this tag.
Note The presence or absence of the tag with which the 
operator is associated does not prevent Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager from routing 
the call.
EXISTS Specifies filter calls when the dialed-digit string that is 
associated with this tag is found.
Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager routes 
or blocks the call only if the dialed-digit string 
contains a sequence of digits that are associated 
with the tag.
DOES-NOT-EXIST Specifies filter calls when the dialed-digit string that is 
associated with this tag is not found.
Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager routes 
or blocks the call only if the dialed-digit string 
does not contain a sequence of digits that are 
associated with the tag.
== Specifies filter calls when the dialed-digit string that is 
associated with this tag matches the specified value.
Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager routes 
or blocks the call only if the dialed-digit string 
contains a sequence of digits that are associated 
with the tag and within the numbering range that 
is specified in the attached field.

Route Group Configuration
A route group allows you to designate the order in which gateways and trunks 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 long-distance calls 
to the less expensive carrier are given priority. Calls route to the more expensive carrier only if the first 
trunk is unavailable.
Use the following topics to add or delete a route group or to add devices to or to remove devices from a 
route group:

Route List Configuration
A route list associates a set of route groups in a specified priority order. A route list then associates with 
one or more route patterns and determines the order in which those route groups are accessed. The order 
controls the progress of the search for available devices for outgoing calls.
A route list can contain only route groups.
Each route list should have at least one route group. Each route group includes at least one device, such 
as a gateway, that is available. Based on device type, Cisco Unified Communications Manager can 
choose some, or all, ports as resources in each route group. Some devices, such as digital access, only 
allow you to choose all ports.
You can add a Route Group to any number of Route Lists.

and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). 
Ensure that 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, inter-local access 
transport area (LATA) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas.
Add a description in the Description field.
Step 4 From the drop-down list box, choose a Cisco Unified Communications Manager group.
Note The Route List registers with the first Cisco Unified Communications Manager in the group, which 
is its primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Note If you choose a Cisco Unified Communications Manager group that has only one configured 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you receive the following warning:  
WARNING! The selected Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group has only one Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager configured. For the control process to have redundancy 
protection, please select a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group with more than one 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Step 5 To add this route list, click Save.
Note A popup message reminds you that you must add at least one route group to this route list for it 
to accept calls.
The Route List Configuration window displays the newly added route list.
Step 6 By default, the system checks the Enable this Route List check box for the new route list.
If you want to disable this route list, uncheck this check box. A popup window explains that calls in 
progress do not get affected, but this route list will not accept additional calls.
Step 7 Add at least one route group to the new route list.
To add a route group to this list, click Add Route Group and perform Step 4 through Step 8 of the 
Adding Route Groups to a Route List section on page 40-4.
Note For called party and calling party transformation information, you can click the name of a route 
group that belongs to this route list. The route group names display in the Route List Details list 
box at the bottom of the Route List Configuration window. This action displays the Route List 
Detail Configuration window for the route group that you choose.

Route Pattern Configuration
A route pattern comprises a string of digits (an address) and a set of associated digit manipulations that 
route calls 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 Unified Communications Manager System Guide for 
more detailed route pattern information.
Note Refer to the Local Route Groups chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and 
Services Guide for a discussion of route patterns and their use and configuration when the Local Route 
Group feature is configured.
Use the following topics to find, add, update, copy, or delete a route pattern:

   Configuring a Route Pattern, page 41-2
   Route Pattern Configuration Settings, page 41-4
   Deleting a Route Pattern, page 41-12
Finding a Route Pattern
Because you might have several route patterns in your network, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
lets you use specific criteria to locate specific route patterns. To locate route patterns, use the following 
procedure.
Note During your work in a browser session, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration retains 
your route pattern search preferences. If you navigate to other menu items and return to this menu item, 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration retains your route pattern search preferences 
until you modify your search or close the browser.

Route Option The Route Option designation indicates whether you want this route pattern to 
be used for routing calls (such as 9.@ or 8[2-9]XX) or for blocking calls. 
Choose the Route this pattern or Block this pattern radio button.
If you choose the Block this pattern radio button, you must choose the reason 
for which you want this route pattern to block calls. Choose a value from the 
drop-down list box:
   No Error
   Unallocated Number

   Number Changed
   Invalid Number Format
   Precedence Level Exceeded
Call Classification Call Classification indicates whether the call that is routed through this route 
pattern is considered either off (OffNet) or on (OnNet) the local network. The 
default value specifies OffNet. When adding a route pattern, if you uncheck 
the Provide Outside Dial Tone check box, you set Call Classification as 
OnNet.
Allow Device 
Override
This check box remains unchecked by default. When the check box is checked, 
the system uses the Call Classification setting that is configured on the 
associated gateway or trunk to consider the outgoing call as OffNet or OnNet.
Provide Outside Dial 
Tone
Check this check box to provide outside dial tone. To route the call in the 
network, leave the check box unchecked.
Allow Overlap 
Sending
With overlap sending enabled, when Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
passes a call to the PSTN, it relies on overlap sending in the PSTN to 
determine how many digits to collect and where to route the call. Check this 
check box for each route pattern that you consider to be assigned to a gateway 
or route list that routes the calls to a PSTN that supports overlap sending.
The CMC and FAC features do not support overlap sending because the Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager cannot determine when to prompt the user 
for the code. If you check the Require Forced Authorization Code or the 
Require Client Matter Code check box, the system disables the Allow 
Overlap Sending check box.
Urgent Priority If the dial plan contains overlapping route patterns, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager does not route the call until the interdigit timer 
expires (even if dialing a sequence of digits to choose a current match is 
possible). Check this check box to interrupt interdigit timing when Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager must route a call immediately.
Require Forced 
Authorization Code
If you want to use forced authorization codes with this route pattern, check this 
check box.
The FAC feature does not support overlap sending because the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager cannot determine when to prompt the user for the 
code. If you check the Allow Overlap Sending check box, the system disables 
the Require Forced Authorization Code check box.

Called Party Number 
Type
Choose the format for the number type in called party directory numbers. 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the called directory number 
(DN) type. Cisco recommends that you do not change the default value unless 
you have advanced experience with dialing plans such as NANP or the 
European dialing plan. You may need to change the default in Europe because 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not recognize European 
national dialing patterns. You can also change this setting when you are 
connecting to a PBX that expects the called directory number to be encoded to 
a non-national type numbering plan.
Choose one of the following options:
   Cisco Unified Communications ManagerUse when the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager sets the directory number type.
   UnknownUse when the dialing plan is unknown.
   NationalUse when you are dialing within the dialing plan for your 
country.
   InternationalUse when you are dialing outside the dialing plan for your 
country.
   SubscriberUse when you are dialing a subscriber by using a shortened 
subscriber number.
Called Party 
Numbering Plan
Choose the format for the numbering plan in called party directory numbers.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the called DN numbering plan. 
Cisco recommends that you do not change the default value unless you have 
advanced experience with dialing plans such as NANP or the European dialing 
plan. You may need to change the default in Europe because Cisco Unified

Line Group Configuration
A line group allows you to designate the order in which directory numbers are chosen. Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager distributes a call to idle or available members of a line group based on a call 
distribution algorithm and on the Ring No Answer Reversion (RNAR) Timeout setting.
Note Users cannot pick up calls to a DN that belongs to a line group by using the Directed Call Pickup feature.
Use the following topics to add or delete a line group or to add directory numbers to or to remove 
directory numbers from a line group:

Hunt List Configuration
A Hunt List lists a set of Line groups in a specific order. A hunt list then associates with one or more 
hunt pilots and determines the order in which those line groups are accessed. The order controls the 
progress of the search for available directory numbers for incoming calls.
A hunt list comprises a collection of directory numbers as defined by line groups. After Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager determines a call that is to be routed through a defined hunt list, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager finds the first available device on the basis of the order of the line group(s) 
that a hunt list defines.
Note The Group Call Pickup feature and Directed Call Pickup feature do not work with hunt lists.
A hunt list can contain only line groups. Each hunt list should have at least one line group. Each line 
group includes at least one directory number. A single line group can appear in multiple hunt lists.

Hunt Pilot Configuration
A hunt pilot comprises a string of digits (an address) and a set of associated digit manipulations that route 
calls to a hunt list. Hunt pilots provide flexibility in network design. They work in conjunction with route 
filters and hunt lists to direct calls to specific devices and to include, exclude, or modify specific digit 
patterns.
Refer to Understanding Route Plans in Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for 
more detailed hunt pilot information.
Use the following topics to add, configure, or delete a hunt pilot:

SIP Route Pattern Configuration
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses SIP route patterns to route or block both internal and 
external calls.
The domain name or IP address provides the basis for routing. The administrator can add domains, IP 
addresses, and IP network (subnet) addresses and associate them to SIP trunks (only). This method 
allows requests that are destined for these domains to be routed through particular SIP trunk interfaces. 
Note Because there are no default SIP route patterns in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the 
administrator must set them up.  
Domain name examples: cisco.com, my-pc.cisco.com, *.com, rtp-ccm[1-5].cisco.com  
Valid characters for domain names: [, -, ., 0-9, A-Z, a-z, *, and ].  
IP address examples: 172.18.201.119 or 172.18.201.119/32 (explicit IP host address); 172.18.0.0/16 
(IP subnet); 172.18.201.18.21 (IP subnet).  
Valid characters for IP addresses: 0-9, ., and /
Finding a SIP Route Pattern
Because you can have several SIP route patterns in your network, Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager lets you locate specific SIP route patterns on the basis of specific criteria. Use the following 
procedure to locate SIP route patterns.

Time Period Configuration
A time period comprises a time range that is defined by a start time and end time. Time periods also 
specify a repetition interval either as days of the week or a specified date on the yearly calendar. 
Administrators define time periods and then associate the time periods with time schedules. A particular 
time period can be associated with multiple time schedules. 
Administrators then associate time schedules with partitions to set up time-of-day call routing. For more 
detailed information on time periods and time schedules, refer to Time-of-Day Routing in the Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager System Guide.

Timesaver Use concise and descriptive names for your partitions. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format 
usually provides a sufficient level of detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily 
identify a partition. For example, CiscoDallasMetroPT identifies a partition for toll-free, inter-local 
access and transport area (LATA) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas.
Tip You can enter multiple partitions at the same time by entering the partition name and description, if 
applicable, in the Partition Name & Description text box. Remember to use one line for each partition 
entry and to separate the partition name and description with a comma.
Table 49-2 provides examples of the maximum number of partitions that can be added to a calling search 
space if partition names are of fixed length. Refer to Partition Name Limitations in the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager System Guide for details about how this maximum number is calculated.
Time Schedule From the drop-down list box, choose a time schedule to associate with 
this partition. The associated time schedule specifies when the partition 
is available to receive incoming calls. 
The default value specifies None, which implies that time-of-day routing 
is not in effect and the partition remains active at all times.
In combination with the Time Zone value in the following field, 
association of a partition with a time schedule configures the partition 
for time-of-day routing. The system checks incoming calls to this 
partition against the specified time schedule.
Time Zone Choose one of the following options to associate a partition with a time 
zone:
   Originating DeviceIf you choose this option, the system checks the 
partition against the associated time schedule with the time zone of the 
calling device.
   Specific Time ZoneIf you choose this option, choose a time zone 
from the drop-down list box. The system checks the partition 
against the associated time schedule at the time that is specified in 
this time zone.
These options all specify the Time Zone. When an incoming call occurs, 
the current time on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager gets 
converted into the specific time zone set when one option is chosen. The 
system validates this specific time against the value in the Time 
Schedule field.

Configuring an IntercomDirectory Number
Follow these instructions to add or update an intercom directory number (DN). You can configure the 
call forward, call pickup, and MLPP phone features while you are adding the directory number.
Tip You can assign patterns to intercom directory numbers; for example, 352XX. To avoid user confusion 
when you assign a pattern to an intercom directory number, add text or digits to the intercom DN 
configuration fields, Line Text Label, Display (Internal Caller ID), and External Phone Number Mask. 
(These fields display for a directory number only after you add the directory number and you associate 
the directory number with a phone.)  
For example, add the user name to the line text label and internal caller ID, but add the outside line 
number to the external number mask, so, when the calling information displays, it says John Chan, not 
352XX.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Call Routing > Intercom > Intercom Directory Number.
The Find and List Intercom Directory Numbers window displays.
Step 2 To locate a specific intercom directory number, enter search criteria and click Find.
A list of directory numbers that match the search criteria displays.

Alerting Name Enter a name that you want to display on the phone of the caller. 
This setting, which supports the Identification Services for the QSIG 
protocol, applies to shared and nonshared directory numbers. If you 
configure an alerting name for a directory number with shared-line 
appearances, when the phone rings at the terminating PINX, the system 
performs the following tasks:
   Forwards the name of the caller that is assigned to the directory 
number.
   Applies the Connected Name Restrictions (CONR) that are 
configured for the translation pattern (if restrictions exist); the 
originating PINX may modify the CONR, depending on the route 
pattern configuration.
If you do not configure an alerting name, Name Not Available may 
display on the caller phone. If you do not enter a name for the Display 
(Internal Caller ID) field, the information in the Alerting Name field 
displays in the Display (Internal Caller ID) field.
Setting the Always Display Original Dialed Number service parameter 
to True impacts the alerting name functionality. If you set the service 
parameter to True, the alerting name does not display on the calling 
phone; only the original dialed number displays.
ASCII Alerting Name This field provides the same information as the Alerting Name field, but 
you must limit input to ASCII characters. Devices that do not support 
Unicode (internationalized) characters display the content of the 
Alerting Name ASCII field.

Calling Search Space From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate calling search 
space. A calling search space comprises a collection of partitions that 
are searched for numbers that are called from this directory number. The 
value that you choose applies to all devices that are using this directory 
number. For configuration information about calling search space for 
directory numbers, see the Calling Search Space section on page 53-8.
Changes result in an update of the numbers that the Call Pickup Group 
field lists.
You can configure calling search space for forward all, forward busy, 
forward no answer, forward no coverage, and forward on CTI failure 
directory numbers. The value that you choose applies to all devices that 
are using this directory number.
You must configure either primary forward all calling search space or 
secondary forward all calling search space or both for call forward all to 
work properly. The system uses these concatenated fields (Primary CFA 
CSS + Secondary CFA CSS) to validate the CFA destination and forward 
the call to the CFA destination.
Note If the system is using partitions and calling search spaces, Cisco 
recommends that you configure the other call forward calling 
search spaces as well. When a call is forwarded or redirected to 
the call forward destination, the configured call forward calling 
search space gets used to forward the call. If the forward calling 
search space is None, the forward operation may fail if the 
system is using partitions and calling search spaces. For 
example, if you configure the forward busy destination, you 
should also configure the forward busy calling search space. If 
you do not configure the forward busy calling search space and 
the forward busy destination is in a partition, the forward 
operation may fail.
When you forward calls by using the CFwdAll softkey on the phone, the 
automatic combination of the line CSS and device CSS does not get 
used. Only the configured Primary CFA CSS and Secondary CFA CSS 
get used. If both of these fields are None, the combination results in two 
null partitions, which may cause the operation to fail.
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 more information, refer to Partitions and Calling Search Spaces, in 
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.

   Auto Answer with Speakerphone
Note Make sure that the headset or speakerphone is not disabled when 
you choose Auto Answer with headset or Auto Answer with 
speakerphone.
Note Do not configure auto answer for devices that have shared lines.
Note For an intercom line on a CTIPort device, 
autoanswer-speakerphone and autoanswer-headset means that 
the autoanswer is on. The speakerphone or headset options do 
not apply to CTIPort devices; instead, it just indicates that the 
line is capable of auto-answering. Applications have 
responsibility for terminating the media on CTIPort devices and 
can terminate the media on either type of output device.
Default Activated Device From the drop-down list box, choose a default activated device for this 
directory number. The selected device specifies the phone on which this 
directory number is activated by default. The drop-down list box lists 
only devices that support intercom.
Note You must specify a default activated device for this intercom 
directory number to be active as an intercom line.
Note If an intercom DN is specified in a device profile that is 
configured for Cisco Extension Mobility, that intercom DN will 
display as an intercom line only when a user logs in to the 
specified default activated device by using that device profile, as 
long as the device supports the intercom feature.

IntercomTranslation Pattern Configuration
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses translation patterns to manipulate dialed digits before it 
routes a call. In some cases, the system does not use the dialed number. In other cases, the public 
switched telephone network (PSTN) does not recognize the dialed number.
Use the following topics to add, update, copy, or delete a translation pattern:

Call Pickup Group Configuration
The Call Pickup Group menu option allows administrators to configure call pickup groups. After end 
users are configured as member s of a call pickup group, these users can answer a call that comes in on 
a directory number other than their own. When a user hears an incoming call ringing on another phone, 
the user can redirect the call to their own phone by using one of the call pickup phone features.
Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running SCCP and SIP provide several types of call pickup:
   The Call Pickup feature allows users to pick up incoming calls within their own group. Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager automatically dials the appropriate call pickup group number 
when a user activates this feature on a phone.
   The Group Call Pickup feature allows users to pick up incoming calls in another group. Users must 
dial the appropriate call pickup group number when they activate this feature on a phone.
   The Other Group Pickup feature allows users to pick up incoming calls in a group that is associated 
with their own group. When a phone rings in a group that is associated with the user group, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager automatically searches for the incoming call in the associated 
groups when they activate this feature on a phone.
   The Directed Call Pickup feature allows a user to pick up an incoming call on a directory number 
(DN) directly by pressing the GPickUp softkey and entering the directory number.
   The Busy Lamp Field (BLF) Call Pickup feature allows a user to pick up a call that is directed to 
the DN that is associated with the BLF button that is configured on the user Cisco Unified IP Phone.
For more information on how to use and configure the various Call Pickup features and how to configure 
call pickup groups, refer to the Call Pickup chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Features and Services Guide.

Field Description
Directory Number Information
Directory Number Enter a dialable phone number. Values can include route pattern wildcards and numeric 
characters (0 through 9). Special characters such as a question mark (?), exclamation mark (!), 
backslash (\), brackets ([ ,] ), plus sign (+), dash (-), asterisk (*), caret (^), pound sign (#), and 
an X are also allowable. Special characters that are not allowed are a period (.), at sign (@), 
dollar sign ($), and percent sign (%).
At the beginning of the pattern, enter \+ if you want to use the international escape character 
+. For this field, \+ does not represent a wildcard; instead, entering \+ represents a dialable 
digit.
Note When a pattern is used as a directory number, the display on the phone and the caller 
ID that displays on the dialed phone will both contain characters other than digits. To 
avoid this, Cisco recommends that you provide a value for Display (Internal Caller 
ID), Line text label, and External phone number mask.
The directory number that you enter can appear in more than one partition.
Route Partition Choose the partition to which the directory number belongs. Make sure that the directory 
number that you enter in the Directory Number field is unique within the partition that you 
choose. If you do not want to restrict access to the directory number, choose <None> for the 
partition.
You can configure the number of partitions that display in this drop-down list box by using the 
Max List Box Items enterprise parameter. If more partitions exist than the Max List Box Items 
enterprise parameter specifies, the Find button displays next to the drop-down list box. Click 
the Find button to display the Find and List Partitions window. Find and choose a partition 
name (see the Finding a Partition section on page 49-1).
Note To set the maximum list box items, choose System > Enterprise Parameters and 
choose CCMAdmin Parameters.
Description Enter a description of the directory number and route partition.
Alerting Name Enter a name that you want to display on the phone of the caller. 
This setting, which supports the Identification Services for the QSIG protocol, applies to 
shared and nonshared directory numbers. If you configure an alerting name for a directory 
number with shared-line appearances, when the phone rings at the terminating PINX, the 
system performs the following tasks:

display the content of the Alerting Name ASCII field.
Active To view this check box on the Directory Number Configuration window, access an unassigned 
directory number from the Route Plan Report window. Checking this check box allows calls 
to this DN to be forwarded (if forwarding is configured). If check box is not checked, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager ignores the DN.
Allow Control of Device 
from CTI
Check this check box to allow CTI to control and monitor a line on a device with which this 
directory number is associated 
If the directory number specifies a shared line, ensure the check box is enabled as long as at 
least one associated device specifies a combination of device type and protocol that CTI 
supports.

Configuration section on page 42-1 for more information about configuring line groups.
Note If you configure a DN as part of a line group, you will not be able to associate that DN 
with a CTI port nor a CTI route point. Conversely, when you configure a CTI port or 
CTI route point, you will not be able to specify a DN that already belongs to a line 
group or to a hunt list. Furthermore, if a DN is a member of a line group or hunt list, 
any device (CTI port, CTI route point, phone that is running SCCP, or phone that is 
running SIP) that uses that DN should not be associated with a CTI user.
Associated Devices After you associate this DN with a device(s), this pane displays the devices with which this 
DN is associated.
To edit a device with which this DN is associated, choose a device name in the Associated 
Devices pane and click the Edit Device button. The Phone Configuration window or Device 
Profile Configuration window displays for the device that you choose. See the Cisco Unified 
IP Phone Configuration chapter or the Device Profile Configuration chapter for more 
information about configuring phones or device profiles.
To edit a line appearance that has been defined for this DN, choose a device name in the

Calling Search Space From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate calling search space. A calling search 
space comprises a collection of partitions that are searched for numbers that are called from 
this directory number. The value that you choose applies to all devices that are using this 
directory number. For configuration information about calling search space for directory 
numbers, see the Calling Search Space section on page 61-26.
Changes result in an update of the numbers that the Call Pickup Group field lists.
You can configure calling search space for Forward All, Forward Busy, Forward No Answer, 
Forward No Coverage, and Forward on CTI Failure directory numbers. The value that you 
choose applies to all devices that are using this directory number.
You must configure either primary Forward All Calling Search Space or Secondary Forward 
All Calling Search Space or both for Call Forward All to work properly. The system uses these 
concatenated fields (Primary CFA CSS + Secondary CFA CSS) to validate the CFA 
destination and forward the call to the CFA destination.
Note If the system is using partitions and calling search spaces, Cisco recommends that you 
configure the other call forward calling search spaces as well. When a call is 
forwarded or redirected to the call forward destination, the configured call forward 
calling search space gets used to forward the call. If the forward calling search space 
is None, the forward operation may fail if the system is using partitions and calling 
search spaces. For example, if you configure the Forward Busy destination, you should 
also configure the Forward Busy Calling Search Space. If you do not configure the 
Forward Busy Calling Search Space and the Forward Busy destination is in a partition, 
the forward operation may fail.
When you forward calls by using the CFwdAll softkey on the phone, the automatic 
combination of the line CSS and device CSS does not get used. Only the configured Primary 
CFA CSS and Secondary CFA CSS get used. If both of these fields are None, the combination 
results in two null partitions, which may cause the operation to fail.
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 more information, refer to Partitions and Calling Search Spaces, in the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager System Guide.
Presence Group Configure this field with the Presence feature.
From the drop-down list box, choose a Presence group for this directory number. The selected 
group specifies the devices, end users, and application users that can monitor this directory 
number.
The default value for Presence Group specifies Standard Presence group, configured with 
installation. Presence groups that are configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration also appear in the drop-down list box.
Presence authorization works with presence groups to allow or block presence requests 
between groups. Refer to the Presence chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager Features and Services Guide for information about configuring permissions between 
groups.

   AAR Destination MaskUse this setting instead of the external phone number mask to 
determine the AAR Destination to be dialed.
   AAR GroupThis setting provides the prefix digits that are used to route calls that are 
otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. An AAR group setting of None indicates 
that no rerouting of blocked calls will be attempted.
Retain this destination in the 
call forwarding history
This setting determines whether the AAR leg of the call will be present in the call forwarding 
history. If you uncheck the check box, the AAR leg of the call is not present in the call history. 
If you check the check box, the AAR leg of the call will be present in the call history.
By default, the directory number configuration retains the AAR leg of the call in the call 
history, which ensures that the AAR forward to voice-messaging system will prompt the user 
to leave a voice message.

Calling Search Space 
Activation Policy
Three possible values exist for this option:
   Use System Default
   With Configured CSS
   With Activating Device/Line CSS
If you select the With Configured CSS option, the Forward All Calling Search Space that is 
explicitly configured in the Directory Number Configuration window controls the forward all 
activation and call forwarding. If the Forward All Calling Search Space is set to None, no CSS 
gets configured for Forward All. A forward all activation attempt to any directory number with 
a partition will fail. No change in the Forward All Calling Search Space and Secondary 
Calling Search Space for Forward All occurs during the forward all activation. 
If you prefer to utilize the combination of the Directory Number Calling Search Space and 
Device Calling Search Space without explicitly configuring a Forward All Calling Search 
Space, select With Activating Device/Line CSS for the Calling Search Space Activation 
Policy. With this option, when Forward All is activated from the phone, the Forward All 
Calling Search Space and Secondary Calling Search Space for Forward All automatically gets 
populated with the Directory Number Calling Search Space and Device Calling Search Space 
for the activating device.
With this configuration (Calling Search Space Activation Policy set to With Activating 
Device/Line), if the Forward All Calling Search Space is set to None, when forward all is 
activated through the phone, the combination of Directory Number Calling Search Space and 
activating Device Calling Search Space gets used to verify the forward all attempt.
If you configure the Calling Search Space Activation Policy to Use System Default, then the 
CFA CSS Activation Policy cluster-wide service parameter determines which Forward All 
Calling Search space will be used. If the CFA CSS Activation Policy service parameter gets 
set to With Configured CSS, then Forward All Calling Search Space and Secondary Calling 
Search Space for Forward All will be used for Call Forwarding. If CFA CSS Activation Policy 
service parameter gets set to With Activating Device/Line CSS, then Forward All Calling 
Search Space and Secondary Calling Search Space for Forward All will be automatically 
populated with the Directory Number Calling Search Space and Device Calling Search Space 
for the activating device.

Roaming
When a device is roaming in the same device mobility group, Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager uses the Device Mobility CSS to reach the local gateway. If a user sets Call Forward 
All at the phone, the CFA CSS is set to None, and the CFA CSS Activation Policy is set to 
With Activating Device/Line CSS, then:
   The Device CSS and Line CSS get used as the CFA CSS when the device is in its home 
location.
   If the device is roaming within the same device mobility group, the Device Mobility CSS 
from the Roaming Device Pool and the Line CSS get used as the CFA CSS.
   If the device is roaming within a different device mobility group, the Device CSS and Line 
CSS get used as the CFA CSS.

Use any dialable phone number, including an outside destination.
   Calling Search SpaceThis setting applies to all devices that are using this directory 
number.
Secondary Calling Search 
Space for Forward All
Because call forwarding is a line-based feature, in cases where the device calling search space 
is unknown, the system uses only the line calling search space to forward the call. If the line 
calling search space is restrictive and not routable, the forward attempt fails.
Addition of a secondary calling search space for Call Forward All provides a solution to 
enable forwarding. The primary calling search space for Call Forward All and secondary 
calling search space for Call Forward All get concatenated (Primary CFA CSS + Secondary 
CFA CSS). Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses this combination to validate the 
CFA destination and to forward the call.
See the description for the field, Calling Search Space, page 61-9, for information about how 
the combination of Primary and Secondary CFA CSSs works

Used in conjunction with Call Forward No Answer Destination, this field sets the timer for 
how long the phone will ring before it gets forwarded. Leave this setting blank to use the value 
that is set in the Cisco CallManager service parameter, Forward No Answer Timer.
Caution By default, Cisco Unified Communications Manager makes the time for the T301 
timer longer than the No Answer Ring Duration time; if the set time for the T301 
timer expires before the set time for the No Answer Ring Duration expires, the call 
ends, and no call forwarding can occur. If you choose to do so, you can configure 
the time for the No Answer Ring Duration to be greater than the time for the T301 
timer. For information on the T301 timer, choose System > Service Parameters; 
choose the server, the Cisco CallManager service, and then the parameter in the 
window that displays.

Multiple Call/Call Waiting Settings on Device [device name]
Note These fields display only after you associate this directory number with a device.
Maximum Number of Calls You can configure up to 200 calls for a line on a device, with the limiting factor being the total 
number of calls that are configured on the device. As you configure the number of calls for 
one line, the calls that are available for another line decrease. 
The default specifies 4. If the phone does not allow multiple calls for each line, the default 
specifies 2. 
For CTI route points, you can configure up to 10,000 calls for each port. The default specifies 
5000 calls. Use this field in conjunction with the Busy Trigger field.
Note Although the default specifies 5000 calls for maximum number of active calls that can 
be configured on a CTI route point, Cisco recommends that you set the maximum 
number of calls to no more than 200 per route point. This will prevent system 
performance degradation. If the CTI application needs more than 200 calls, Cisco 
recommends that you configure multiple CTI route points.
Tip To review how this setting works for devices with shared line appearances, refer to 
Shared Line Appearance in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System 
Guide.
Busy Trigger This setting, which works in conjunction with Maximum Number of Calls and Call Forward 
Busy, determines the maximum number of calls to be presented at the line. If maximum 
number of calls is set for 50 and the busy trigger is set to 40, incoming call 41 gets rejected 
with a busy cause (and will get forwarded if Call Forward Busy is set). If this line is shared, 
all the lines must be busy before incoming calls get rejected.
Use this field in conjunction with Maximum Number of Calls for CTI route points. The default 
specifies 4500 calls.
Tip To review how this setting works for devices with shared line appearances, refer to 
Shared Line Appearance in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System 
Guide.

Dial Plan Installer
You can install a Cisco International Dial Plan and use it to create a unique numbering plan that is 
specific to a country, other than one in North America. Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
provides North American Numbering Plan (NANP) by default. Because dial plan requirements of other 
countries are unique to those countries, the default NANP configuration may not be the best suited 
configuration to create a dial plan for those countries. Cisco International Dial Plan allows you to create 
and update unique dial plans and make them available for use to Cisco customers worldwide. 
This chapter describes how to install a dial plan on a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
Before you install a dial plan on the server, you should download the equivalent dial plan COP (Cisco 
Option Package) file to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server. 
You can find COP files for all the available dial plans that you can download, install, and integrate with 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager systems at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/IDP50
For details on installing a COP file, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Dial Plan Guide.
For details on how to install a dial plan from this location, see Installing a Dial Plan on Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager section on page 63-3.

Configuring Route Pattern Details for a non-NANP Dial Plan
If you have installed a non-NANP dial plan on your Cisco Unified Communications Manager system, 
you can choose the required dial plan when you set up route pattern details in the Route Details 
Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. 
Note the following points when you configure route pattern details: 
1. For a non-NANP dial plan, if you want to retain the settings at the Route Pattern level, make one of 
the following choices in the Route Details Configuration window: 
a. Choose None in the Discard Digits field. Choosing None DDI in the Discard Digits field 
represents the same as not choosing a dial plan.
b. Choose a non-NANP dial plan:No Digits in the Discard Digits field. (For Example, AMNP:No 
Digits.)
2. If you want to specify settings at the Route Group level that will override the Route Pattern settings, 
choose the appropriate DDI for that dial plan from the Discard Digits field. Examples of DDI: 
NANP:PreDot, AMNP:PreDot.
Additional Information
See the Related Topics section on page 63-7.
Upgrading a Dial Plan
If you have installed a non-NANP dial plan, you can upgrade the dial plan that is installed on your Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager system with an upgraded version of the dial plan.
Caution Upgrading a dial plan will fail if you configured one or more tags as a clause for a route filter in the 
existing version of the dial plan and the upgrade version does not contain these tags. After you upgrade 
to the new dial plan, the upgrade will list all such tags. You need to disassociate these tags from the route 
filter and run the dial plan upgrade again on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system.
Caution Upgrading a dial plan will fail if you have associated one or more DDIs with Route Patterns/Translation 
Patterns/Route Lists in the existing version of the dial plan and the upgrade version does not contain 
these DDIs. The dial plan upgrade will list all such DDIs. You need to disassociate these DDIs from 
Route Patterns/Translation Patterns/Route Lists and run the dial plan upgrade again on the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager system.

Field Description
Pattern Definition
Pattern Enter the transformation pattern, including numbers and wildcards (do not use 
spaces); for example, for NANP, enter 9.@ for typical local access or 8XXX 
for a typical private network numbering plan. Valid characters include the 
uppercase characters A, B, C, and D and \+, which represents the international 
escape character +.
Note Ensure that the pattern is unique. Check the transformation pattern, 
route pattern, translation pattern, directory number, call park number, 
call pickup number, message waiting on/off, or meet me number if you 
receive an error that indicates duplicate entries. You can also check the 
route plan report.
See the Wildcards and Special Characters in Route Patterns and Hunt Pilots 
section in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more 
information about wildcards.
Partition If you want to use a partition to restrict access to the transformation pattern, 
choose the desired partition from the drop-down list box. See the Partition 
Configuration section on page 49-1 for more information on how to use 
partitions.
You can configure the number of partitions that display in this drop-down list 
box by using the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter. If more partitions 
exist than the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter specifies, the Find 
button displays next to the drop-down list box. Click the Find button to display 
the Find and List Partitions window. Find and choose a partition name by using 
the Finding a Partition procedure in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager Administration Guide.
Note Configure transformation patterns in different non-null partitions 
rather than dialing patterns such as route patterns and directory 
numbers. For transformation pattern lookups, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager ignores the patterns in null partitions.
Note To set the maximum list box items, choose System > Enterprise 
Parameters and choose CCMAdmin Parameters.
Note Make sure that the combination of pattern, route filter, and partition is 
unique within the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
Description Enter a description of the transformation pattern.

A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or transcoder 
device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest to the 
associated endpoint device if more than one resource is needed for the 
endpoint (for example, a transcoder or RSVPAgent).
If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used as 
the required MTP. See the TRP Insertion in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager System Guide for details of call behavior.
If both TRP and RSVPAgent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager first tries to find an RSVPAgent that can also 
be used as a TRP.
If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder that is also 
designated as a TRP.

Media Termination Point Configuration
A Media Termination Point software device allows Cisco Unified Communications Manager to relay 
calls that are routed through SIP or H.323 endpoints or gateways. You can allocate a media termination 
point device because of DTMF or RSVP requirements. When a media termination point is allocated for 
RSVP, you can insert it between any type of endpoint device, including SIP or H.323 devices.
Media termination point, a Cisco software application, installs on a server during the software 
installation process. You must activate and start the Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming App service on the 
server on which you configure the media termination point device. For information on activating and 
starting services, refer to the Cisco Unified Serviceability Administration Guide.
Each media termination point device that is defined in the database registers with the Media Resource 
Manager (MRM). The MRM keeps track of the total available media termination point devices in the 
system and of which devices have available resources. 
During resource reservation, the MRM determines the number of resources and identifies the media 
resource type (in this case, the media termination point) and the location of the registered media 
termination point device. The MRM updates its share resource table with the registration information 
and propagates the registered information to the other Cisco Unified Communications Managers within 
the cluster. 
The media termination point and transcoder can register with the same Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager. See the Transcoder Configuration section on page 74-1 for more information.
Each media termination point receives a list of Cisco Unified Communications Managers, in priority 
order, to which it should attempt to register. Each media termination point can register with only one 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager at a time. 
Note Depending on the capabilities of the SIP endpoint, Cisco Unified Communications Manager may require 
an RFC 2833 DTMF-compliant media termination point device to make SIP calls. For RSVP calls, the 
Media Resource Group List (MRGL) that is associated with the endpoint device needs to include the 
media termination point devices that support RSVP.
Use the following topics to add, update, and delete media termination points:

for a record that matches all criteria that you specify. To remove criteria, click the  button to 
remove the last added criterion or click the Clear Filter button to remove all added search 
criteria.
Step 3 Click Find.
All matching records display. You can change the number of items that display on each page by choosing 
a different value from the Rows per Page drop-down list box.
Note You can delete multiple records from the database by checking the check boxes next to the 
appropriate record and clicking Delete Selected. You can delete all configurable records for this 
selection by clicking Select All and then clicking Delete Selected.
Step 4 From the list of records that display, click the link for the record that you want to view.

Transcoder Configuration 
The Media Resource Manager (MRM) has responsibility for resource registration and resource 
reservation of transcoders within a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster. Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager simultaneously supports registration of both the Media Termination Point 
(MTP) and transcoder and concurrent MTP and transcoder functionality within a single call.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager 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.
A transcoder control process gets created for each transcoder device that is defined in the database. Each 
transcoder registers with the MRM when it initializes. The MRM keeps track of the transcoder resources 
and advertises their availability throughout the cluster.
Use the following topics to configure transcoders:

the required MTP. See the TRP Insertion in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager System Guide for details of call behavior.
If both TRP and RSVPAgent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager first tries to find an RSVPAgent that can 
also be used as a TRP.
If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder that is also 
designated as a TRP.
Refer to the Trusted Relay Point section and its subtopics in the 
Media Resource Management chapter of the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager System Guide for a complete discussion of 
network virtualization and trusted relay points.

    Deleting a Cisco Voice-Mail Port
Deleting a Cisco Voice-Mail Port
To delete a single Cisco voice-mail port from Cisco Unified Communications Manager, follow these 
procedures. 
Before You Begin
When you delete a Cisco voice-mail port that a directory number uses, the number remains in the Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager database. To determine which directory numbers are using the 
voice-mail port, in the Voice Mail Port Configuration window, choose Dependency Records from the 
Related Links drop-down list box and click Go. If the dependency records are not enabled for the system, 
the dependency records summary window displays a message. For more information about dependency 
records, see the Accessing Dependency Records section on page A-2. 
When you delete a voice-mail port that is in use, Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays a 
message. Before deleting a voice-mail port that is currently in use, you can assign a different voice-mail 
port to any directory number that is using the voice-mail port that you want to delete. See the 
Configuring a Directory Number section on page 61-3.
After you delete the voice-mail port, you can delete the directory number that was using the voice-mail 
port. See the Deleting Unassigned Directory Numbers section on page 64-2.
Tip Instead of using the procedure that is described here, you can use the Cisco Voice Mail Port Wizard to 
delete ports from an existing server. See Cisco Voice Mail Port Wizard section on page 80-1 for more 
information.
Internal Caller ID Display 
(ASCII format)
This field indicates text that appears on the called party phone, in 
ASCII format, when a call is placed from this line.
External Number Mask Specify the mask that is used to format caller ID information for 
external (outbound) calls. The mask can contain up to 50 characters. 
Enter the literal digits that you want to display in the caller ID 
information and use Xs to represent the directory number of the device.
You can also enter the international escape character +.
When Automated Alternate Routing (AAR) routes calls due to 
insufficient bandwidth, Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses 
the value in this field to place the call if sufficient bandwidth is not 
available.
Example
DN 1000 (external mask 9728131000) calls DN 1001 (external mask 
2144131001). If insufficient bandwidth blocks the call, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager uses the AAR prefix digits along with 
2144131001 to place the call to 1001.

Deleting a Voice-Mail Profile
To delete a voice-mail profile, use the following procedure. You cannot delete the default profile or the 
No Voice Mail profile.
Before You Begin
You cannot delete a voice-mail profile that a directory number uses. To find out which directory numbers 
are using the voice-mail profiles, in the Voice Mail Profile Configuration window, choose Dependency 
Records from the Related Links drop-down list box and click Go. If the dependency records are not 
enabled for the system, the dependency records summary window displays a message. For more 
information about dependency records, see the Accessing Dependency Records section on page A-2. 
If you try to delete a voice-mail profile that is in use, Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays 
a message. Before deleting a voice-mail profile that is currently in use, you must perform either or both 
of the following tasks:
   Assign a different voice-mail profile to any devices that are using the voice-mail profile that you 
want to delete. 
   Delete the devices that are using the voice-mail profile that you want to delete. 
Voice Mail Box Mask Specify the mask that is used to format the voice mailbox number for 
auto-registered phones. When a call is forwarded to a voice-messaging 
system from a directory line on an auto-registered phone, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager applies this mask to the number that is 
configured in the Voice Mail Box field for that directory line.
For example, if you specify a mask of 972813XXXX, the voice mailbox 
number for directory number 7253 becomes 9728137253. If you do not 
enter a mask, the voice mailbox number matches the directory number 
(7253 in this example).
By default, Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the voice 
mailbox number to the same value as the directory number. You can 
change the voice mailbox number when you are configuring the directory 
number. See the Directory Number Configuration Overview section on 
page 61-1 for more information.
Note When a call gets redirected from a DN to a voice-mail 
server/service that is integrated with Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager using a SIP trunk, the voice mailbox 
mask on the voice-mail profile for the phone modifies the diverting 
number in the SIP diversion header. This behavior is expected 
because the diversion header gets used by the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager server to choose a mailbox.
Make This the Default 
Voice Mail Profile for the 
System
Check the check box to make this profile name the default.
Note If you check the Default check box, this voice-mail profile 
replaces your current default profile.

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 can optionally add a CTI port for each active voice line (the CTI 
application determines this). Applications that use CTI route points and CTI ports include Cisco IP 
Softphone, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Attendant, and Cisco IP Interactive Voice 
Response System. After you add a CTI route point to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration, information from the RIS Data Collector service displays in the CTI Route Point 
Configuration window. When available, the IP address of the device and the name of the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager with which the device registered display.
Note You must not associate CTI route points with directory numbers (DNs) that are members of line groups 
and, by extension, that are members of hunt lists. If a DN is a member of a line group or hunt list, you 
cannot associate that DN with a CTI route point that you configure with the CTI Route Point 
Configuration window.
For detailed instructions on how to configure CTI route points and CTI ports that are associated with 
these applications, refer to the documentation and online help that is included with these applications.

Use Trusted Relay Point From the drop-down list box, enable or disable whether Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager inserts a trusted relay point (TRP) device 
with this media endpoint. Choose one of the following values:
   DefaultIf you choose this value, the device uses the Use Trusted 
Relay Point setting from the common device configuration with 
which this device associates.
   OffChoose this value to disable the use of a TRP with this device. 
This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting in the 
common device configuration with which this device associates.
   OnChoose this value to enable the use of a TRP with this device. 
This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting in the 
common device configuration with which this device associates.
A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or transcoder 
device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest to the 
associated endpoint device if more than one resource is needed for the 
endpoint (for example, a transcoder or RSVPAgent).
If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used as 
the required MTP. See TRP Insertion in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager System Guide for details of call behavior.
If both TRP and RSVPAgent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager first tries to find an RSVPAgent that can also 
be used as a TRP.
If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder that is also 
designated as a TRP.

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 that is used for call admission 
control, bandwidth allocation, and dial pattern resolution (call routing). The gatekeeper provides these 
services for communications between Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters and H.323 
networks. You can configure multiple gatekeeper devices per Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
cluster. You can configure alternate gatekeepers for redundancy. Refer to Cisco Multimedia Conference 
Manager (MCM) documentation for alternate gatekeeper configuration details.
Gatekeeper configuration comprises two components:
   Cisco Unified Communications Manager configuration. Each Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager cluster can register with one or more gatekeepers. This chapter describes how to configure 
the gatekeeper in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You also need to configure trunk devices 
on the Trunk Configuration window. See the Trunk Configuration section on page 88-1.
   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. Alternate 
gatekeeper configuration occurs in the MCM only, so no configuration is necessary in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager.

Use Trusted Relay Point From the drop-down list box, enable or disable whether Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager inserts a trusted relay point 
(TRP) device with this media endpoint. Choose one of the 
following values:
   DefaultIf you choose this value, the device uses the Use 
Trusted Relay Point setting from the common device 
configuration with which this device associates.
   OffChoose this value to disable the use of a TRP with this 
device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point 
setting in the common device configuration with which this 
device associates.
   OnChoose this value to enable the use of a TRP with this 
device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point 
setting in the common device configuration with which this 
device associates.
A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or 
transcoder device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest 
to the associated endpoint device if more than one resource is 
needed for the endpoint (for example, a transcoder or 
RSVPAgent).
If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used 
as the required MTP. See the TRP Insertion in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager System Guide for details of call behavior.
If both TRP and RSVPAgent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager first tries to find an 
RSVPAgent that can also be used as a TRP.
If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder 
that is also designated as a TRP.
Refer to the Trusted Relay Point section and its subtopics in the 
Media Resource Management chapter of the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager System Guide for a complete 
discussion of network virtualization and trusted relay points.

Transmit UTF-8 for Calling Party 
Name 
This device uses the user locale setting of the device pool for the 
device o determine whether to send unicode and whether to 
translate received unicode information.
For the sending device, if you check this check box and the user 
locale setting in the device pool for the device matches the 
terminating phone user locale, the device sends unicode. If the 
user locale settings do not match, the device sends ASCII.
The receiving device translates incoming unicode characters 
based on the user locale setting of the sending device pool for the 
device. If the user locale setting matches the terminating phone 
user locale, the phone displays the characters.
Note The phone may display junk characters if the two ends of 
the trunk configure user locales that do not belong to the 
same language group.
Calling Party Transformation CSS This setting, which displays for FXS ports (not FXO ports), allows 
you to localize the calling party number on the device. Make sure 
that the Calling Party Transformation CSS that you choose 
contains the calling party transformation pattern that you want to 
assign to this device.
Tip Before the call occurs, the device must apply the 
transformation by using digit analysis. If you configure 
the Calling Party Transformation CSS as None, the 
transformation does not match and does not get applied. 
Ensure that you configure the Calling Party 
Transformation Pattern in a non-null partition that is not 
used for routing.
Use Device Pool Calling Party 
Transformation CSS
To use the Calling Party Transformation CSS that is configured in 
the device pool that is assigned to this device, check this check

change the default in Europe because Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager does not recognize European national 
dialing patterns. You can also change this setting when you are 
connecting to PBXs by using routing as a non-national type number. 
Choose one of the following options:
   Cisco Unified Communications ManagerUse when the Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager sets the Numbering Plan in 
the directory number. 
   ISDNUse when you are dialing outside the dialing plan for 
your country.
   National StandardUse when you are dialing within the 
dialing plan for your country.
   PrivateUse when you are dialing within a private network. 
   UnknownUse when the dialing plan is unknown.
Number of digits to strip Choose the number of digits to strip on outbound calls, from 0 to 32. 
For example, when 8889725551234 is dialed, and the number of 
digits to strip is 3, Cisco Unified Communications Manager strips 
888 from the outbound number.
Caller ID DN Enter the pattern that you want to use for calling line ID, from 0 to 
24 digits.
For example, in North America: 
   555XXXX = Variable calling line ID, where X equals an 
extension number. The CO appends the number with the area 
code if you do not specify it. 
   5555000 = Fixed calling line ID, where you want the Corporate 
number to be sent instead of the exact extension from which the 
call is placed. The CO appends the number with the area code 
if you do not specify it. 
You can also enter the international escape character +.
SMDI Base Port Enter the first SMDI port number of the T1 span.
If you set this parameter to a nonzero value and this gateway 
belongs to an unknown type of route list, route group, or route list, 
hunting does not continue past this span.

device should immediately retry a video call as an audio call (if it 
cannot connect as a video call) prior to sending the call to call 
control for rerouting.
If you uncheck this check box, a video call that fails to connect as 
video does not try to establish as an audio call. The call then fails 
to call control. Call control reroutes the call within the route/hunt 
list. If Automatic Alternate Routing (AAR) is configured and

Unified Communications Manager inserts a trusted relay point 
(TRP) device with this media endpoint. Choose one of the 
following values:
   DefaultIf you choose this value, the device uses the Use 
Trusted Relay Point setting from the common device 
configuration with which this device associates.
   OffChoose this value to disable the use of a TRP with this 
device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point 
setting in the common device configuration with which this 
device associates.
   OnChoose this value to enable the use of a TRP with this 
device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point 
setting in the common device configuration with which this 
device associates.
A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or 
transcoder device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest 
to the associated endpoint device if more than one resource is 
needed for the endpoint (for example, a transcoder or 
RSVPAgent).
If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used 
as the required MTP. See the TRP Insertion in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager System Guide for details of call behavior.
If both TRP and RSVPAgent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager first tries to find an 
RSVPAgent that can also be used as a TRP.
If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder 
that is also designated as a TRP.

Configuring Cisco Unified IP Phones
You can automatically add phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database by using 
auto-registration or manually add phones by using the Phone Configuration windows.
By enabling auto-registration, you can automatically add a Cisco Unified IP Phone to the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager database when you connect the phone to your IP telephony network. During 
auto-registration, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 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. 
Note Cisco recommends using auto-registration in small configurations or testing labs only.  
If you configure the clusterwide security mode to mixed mode, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
disables auto-registration.
If you do not use auto-registration, you must manually add phones to the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager database.
After you add a Cisco Unified IP Phone to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, the 
RIS Data Collector service displays the device name, registration status, and the IP address of the Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager to which the phone is registered in the Phone Configuration window.
Before a Cisco Unified IP Phone can be used, you must use this procedure to add the phone to Cisco

Displaying the MAC Address of a Phone
The Media Access Control (MAC) address comprises a unique, 12-character, hexadecimal number that 
identifies a Cisco Unified IP Phone or other hardware device. Locate the number on a label on the bottom 
of the phone (for example, 000B6A409C405 for Cisco Unified IP Phone 7900 family of phones or 
SS-00-0B-64-09-C4-05 for Cisco IP Phone SP 12+ and 30 VIP). Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager makes the MAC address a required field for Cisco Unified IP Phone device configuration. 
When you enter the MAC address in Cisco Unified Communications Manager fields, do not use spaces 
or dashes and do not include the SS that may precede the MAC address on the label. 
For more information on displaying the MAC Address or additional configuration settings on Cisco 
Unified IP Phones, refer to the Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guide for Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager that supports the phone model. To display the MAC address for the Cisco IP 
Phone 12 Series and Cisco IP Phone 30 Series phones or the Cisco VG248 Gateway, perform the 
following tasks:
   Cisco IP Phone 12 (SP +) Series and 30 Series (VIP)Press ** to display the MAC address on the 
second line of the LCD display.
   Cisco VG248 phone portsThe MAC address specifies the endpoint from the Gateway 
Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. See the 
Gateway Configuration section on page 86-1 for configuration information.
   Cisco VG224 phone portsYou can configure a Cisco VG224 gateway as an MGCP gateway or an 
SCCP gateway. When it is configured as an SCCP gateway, it can have 24 analog phone endpoints. 
When it is configured this way, it functions similarly to an IOS SCCP gateway. The MAC address 
for each individual phone gets calculated by using a formula that considers the slot position, subunit, 
port, and the last 10 characters of the original MAC address. See the Gateway Configuration 
section on page 86-1 for configuration information.
   Cisco IP CommunicatorGet the MAC address from the network interface of the client PC on 
which you want to install the Cisco IP Communicator application.

   OnChoose this value to enable the use of a TRP with this device. 
This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting in the 
common device configuration with which this device associates.
A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or transcoder 
device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest to the 
associated endpoint device if more than one resource is needed for the 
endpoint (for example, a transcoder or RSVPAgent).
If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used as 
the required MTP. See the TRP Insertion in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager System Guide for details of call behavior.
If both TRP and RSVPAgent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager first tries to find an RSVPAgent that can 
also be used as a TRP.
If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder that is also 
designated as a TRP.

Tip Before the call occurs, the device must apply the transformation 
by using digit analysis. If you configure the Calling Party 
Transformation CSS as None, the transformation does not 
match and does not get applied. Ensure that you configure the 
Calling Party Transformation Pattern in a non-null partition 
that is not used for routing.
Use Device Pool Calling 
Party Transformation CSS
To use the Calling Party Transformation CSS that is configured in the 
device pool that is assigned to this device, check this check box. If you 
do not check this check box, the device uses the Calling Party 
Transformation CSS that you chose in the Phone Configuration 
window.
Is Active Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the Is Active check box 
for licensing and registration of phones.
For a phone that uses a real MAC address, not for a phone that uses a 
dummy MAC address that was created via BAT, the check box displays 
as checked and disabled.
For a dummy phone that uses a dummy MAC address that was created 
via BAT, the Is Active check box displays as unchecked and enabled. 
If you manually convert the dummy MAC address to a real MAC 
address in the Phone Configuration window, check this check box, 
which ensures that the phone can register with Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager and that licensing consumes device license 
units for the phone.
If you use the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Register 
Phone Tool (TAPS), the tool updates the Is Active check box in the 
Phone Configuration window to display as checked and disabled after 
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Register Phone Tool 
applies the device name to the phone that uses the dummy MAC

control, and call control routes the call via automatic alternate routing 
(AAR) and/or route/hunt list.
Ignore Presentation 
Indicators (internal calls 
only)
Check this check box to configure call display restrictions on a 
call-by-call basis. When this check box is checked, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager ignores any presentation restriction that is 
received for internal calls.
Use this configuration in combination with the calling line ID 
presentation and connected line ID presentation configuration at the 
translation pattern level. Together, these settings allow you to configure 
call display restrictions to selectively present or block calling and/or 
connected line display information for each call.
See Table 57-1 in the Translation Pattern Configuration Settings 
section on page 57-3 for more information about the calling line ID 
presentation and the connected line ID presentation parameters.
For more information about call display restrictions, refer to the Call 
Display Restrictions chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager Features and Services Guide.
Allow Control of Device 
from CTI
Check this check box to allow CTI to control and monitor this device.
If the associated directory number specifies a shared line, the check box 
should be enabled as long as at least one associated device specifies a 
combination of device type and protocol that CTI supports.
Logged into Hunt Group This check box, which gets checked by default for all phones, indicates 
that the phone is currently logged in to a hunt list (group). When the 
phone gets added to a hunt list, the administrator can log the user in or 
out by checking (and unchecking) this check box.
Users use the softkey on the phone to log their phone in or out of the 
hunt list.

Remote Device If you are experiencing delayed connect times over SCCP pipes to 
remote sites, check the Remote Device check box in the Phone 
Configuration window. Checking this check box tells Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager to allocate a buffer for the phone device 
when it registers and to bundle SCCP messages to the phone.
Tip Because this feature consumes resources, be sure to check this 
check box only when you are experiencing signaling delays for 
phones that are running SCCP. Most users do not require this 
option.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends the bundled messages 
to the phone when the station buffer is full, as soon as it receives a 
media-related message, or when the Bundle Outbound SCCP Messages 
timer expires.
To specify a setting other than the default setting (100 msec) for the 
Bundle Outbound SCCP Messages timer, configure a new value in the 
Service Parameters Configuration window for the Cisco CallManager 
service. Although 100 msec specifies the recommended setting, you 
may enter 15 msec to 500 msec.
The phone must support SCCP version 9 to use this option. The 
following phones do not support SCCP message optimization: Cisco 
Unified IP Phone 7935/7936. This feature requires a phone reset after 
update.
Protected Device Check this check box to designate a phone as protected, which 
enables the phone to play a 2-second tone to notify the user when a call 
is encrypted and both phones are configured as protected devices. The 
tone plays for both parties when the call is answered. The tone does not 
play unless both phones are protected and the call occurs over 
encrypted media. 
Checking this check box represents only one of several configuration 
requirements for the secure tone to play. For a detailed description of 
the secure-tone feature and the configuration requirements, see the 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

Protocol Specific Information
Packet Capture Mode This setting exists for troubleshooting encryption only; packet 
capturing may cause high CPU usage or call-processing interruptions. 
Choose one of the following options from the drop-down list box:
   NoneThis option, which serves as the default setting, indicates 
that no packet capturing is occurring. After you complete packet 
capturing, configure this setting. 
   Batch Processing ModeCisco Unified Communications 
Manager writes the decrypted or nonencrypted messages to a file, 
and the system encrypts each file. On a daily basis, the system 
creates a new file with a new encryption key. Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager, which stores the file for seven days, 
also stores the keys that encrypt the file in a secure location. Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager stores the file in the PktCap 
virtual directory. A single file contains the time stamp, source IP 
address, source IP port, destination IP address, packet protocol, 
message length, and the message. The TAC debugging tool uses 
HTTPS, administrator username and password, and the specified 
day to request a single encrypted file that contains the captured 
packets. Likewise, the tool requests the key information to decrypt 
the encrypted file.
For more information on packet capturing, refer to the Troubleshooting 
Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Packet Capture Duration This setting exists for troubleshooting encryption only; packet 
capturing may cause high CPU usage or call-processing interruptions.
This field specifies the maximum number of minutes that is allotted for 
one session of packet capturing. The default setting equals 0, although 
the range exists from 0 to 300 minutes.
To initiate packet capturing, enter a value other than 0 in the field. After 
packet capturing completes, the value, 0, displays.
For more information on packet capturing, refer to the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Troubleshooting Guide.
SRTP Allowed As this check box explains, if this flag is checked, IPSec needs to be 
configured in the network to provide end-to-end security. Failure to do 
so will expose keys and other information.
For more information on SRTP encryption, refer to the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Security Guide.

Presence Group Configure this field with the Presence feature.
From the drop-down list box, choose a Presence group for the end user. 
The selected group specifies the devices, end users, and application 
users that can monitor this directory number.
The default value for Presence Group specifies Standard Presence 
group, configured with installation. Presence groups that are 
configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration 
also appear in the drop-down list box.
Presence authorization works with presence groups to allow or block 
presence requests between groups. Refer to the Presence chapter in 
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services 
Guide for information about configuring permissions between groups 
and how presence works with extension mobility.
Device Security Profile Choose the security profile to apply to the device. 
You must apply a security profile to all phones that are configured in 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. Installing 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides a set of predefined, 
nonsecure security profiles for auto-registration. To enable security 
features for a phone, you must configure a new security profile for the 
device type and protocol and apply it to the phone. If the phone does 
not support security, choose a nonsecure profile.
To identify the settings that the profile contains, choose System > 
Security Profile > Phone Security Profile.
Note The CAPF settings that are configured in the profile relate to 
the Certificate Authority Proxy Function settings that display in 
the Phone Configuration window. You must configure CAPF 
settings for certificate operations that involve 
manufacturer-installed certificates (MICs) or locally significant 
certificates (LSC). Refer to the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager Security Guide for more information about how 
CAPF settings that you update in the phone configuration 
window affect security profile CAPF settings.
SIP Dial Rules If required, choose the appropriate SIP dial rule. SIP dial rules provide 
local dial plans for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7905, 7912, 7940, and 
7960, so users do not have to press a key or wait for a timer before the 
call gets processed. 
Leave the SIP Dial Rules field set to <None> if you do not want dial 
rules to apply to the IP phone that is running SIP. This means that the 
user must use the Dial softkey or wait for the timer to expire before the 
call gets processed.
MTP Preferred Originating 
Codec
From the drop-down list box, choose the codec to use if a media 
termination point is required for SIP calls.

Rerouting Calling Search 
Space
From the drop-down list box, choose a calling search space to use for 
rerouting. 
The rerouting calling search space of the referrer gets used to find the 
route to the refer-to target. When the Refer fails due to the rerouting 
calling search space, the Refer Primitive rejects the request with the 
405 Method Not Allowed message.
The redirection (3xx) primitive and transfer feature also uses the 
rerouting calling search space to find the redirect-to or transfer-to 
target.
Out-of-Dialog Refer Calling 
Search Space
From the drop-down list box, choose an out-of-dialog refer calling 
search space.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the out-of-dialog (OOD) 
Refer Authorization calling search space (CSS) to authorize the SIP 
out-of-dialog Refer. The administrator can restrict the use of 
out-of-dialog Refer by configuring the OOD CSS of the Referrer. Refer 
Primitive rejects the OOD Refer request with a 403 Forbidden 
message.
SUBSCRIBE Calling Search 
Space
Supported with the Presence feature, the SUBSCRIBE calling search 
space determines how Cisco Unified Communications Manager routes 
presence requests that come from the phone. This setting allows you to 
apply a calling search space separate from the call-processing search 
space for presence (SUBSCRIBE) requests for the phone.
From the drop-down list box, choose the SUBSCRIBE calling search 
space to use for presence requests for the phone. All calling search 
spaces that you configure in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration display in the SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space 
drop-down list box.
If you do not select a different calling search space for the end user 
from the drop-down list, the SUBSCRIBE calling search space defaults 
to None.
To configure a SUBSCRIBE calling search space specifically for this 
purpose, you configure a calling search space as you do all calling 
search spaces. For information on how to configure a calling search 
space, see the Calling Search Space Configuration section on

Outbound Call Rollover Use this setting for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931.
   No RolloverConference and transfer will not work in this mode. 
If a user attempts to use either of these features, the phone status 
displays as Error Pass Limit. Choose this setting only if you need 
to support CTI applications.
   Rollover Within Same DNConferences and call transfers 
complete by using the same directory number (on different lines). 
For example, consider a phone that has directory number 1506 that 
is assigned to both Line 6 and 7. The user has an active call on Line 
6 and decides to transfer the call. When the user presses the 
Transfer button, the call on Line 6 gets placed on hold, and a new 
call initiates on Line 7 to complete the transfer.
   Rollover Across Different DNsConferences and call transfers 
complete by using a different directory number and line than the 
original call. For example, consider a phone that has directory 
number 1507 that is assigned to both Line 8 and 9 and 1508 that is 
assigned to Line 9. The user has an active call on Line 8 and 
decides to transfer the call. When the user presses the Transfer 
button, the call on Line 8 gets placed on hold, and a new call 
initiates on Line 9 to complete the transfer.
SIP Profile Choose the default SIP profile or a specific profile that was previously 
created. SIP profiles provide specific SIP information for the phone 
such as registration and keepalive timers, media ports, and do not 
disturb control.

Authentication Mode This field allows you to choose the authentication method that the 
phone uses during the CAPF certificate operation.
From the drop-down list box, choose one of the following options:
   By Authentication StringInstalls/upgrades, deletes, or 
troubleshoots a locally significant certificate only when the user 
enters the CAPF authentication string on the phone.
   By Null String Installs/upgrades, deletes, or troubleshoots a 
locally significant certificate without user intervention.
This option provides no security; Cisco strongly recommends that 
you choose this option only for closed, secure environments.
   By Existing Certificate (Precedence to LSC)Installs/upgrades, 
deletes, or troubleshoots a locally significant certificate if a 
manufacture-installed certificate (MIC) or locally significant 
certificate (LSC) exists in the phone. If a LSC exists in the phone, 
authentication occurs via the LSC, regardless whether a MIC exists 
in the phone. If a MIC and LSC exist in the phone, authentication 
occurs via the LSC. If a LSC does not exist in the phone, but a MIC 
does exist, authentication occurs via the MIC. 
Before you choose this option, verify that a certificate exists in the 
phone. If you choose this option and no certificate exists in the 
phone, the operation fails.
At any time, the phone uses only one certificate to authenticate to 
CAPF even though a MIC and LSC can exist in the phone at the 
same time. If the primary certificate, which takes precedence, 
becomes compromised for any reason, or, if you want to 
authenticate via the other certificate, you must update the 
authentication mode.
   By Existing Certificate (Precedence to MIC)Installs, upgrades, 
deletes, or troubleshoots a locally significant certificate if a LSC or 
MIC exists in the phone. If a MIC exists in the phone, 
authentication occurs via the MIC, regardless whether a LSC exists 
in the phone. If a LSC exists in the phone, but a MIC does not exist, 
authentication occurs via the LSC. 
Before you choose this option, verify that a certificate exists in the 
phone. If you choose this option and no certificate exists in the 
phone, the operation fails.

Note Resetting a trunk drops any calls in progress that are using that trunk. Restarting a gateway tries 
to preserve the calls in progress that are using that gateway, if possible. Other devices wait until 
calls complete before restarting or resetting. Resetting/restarting an H.323 or SIP device does 
not physically reset/restart the hardware; it only reinitializes the configuration that is loaded by

Field Description
Device Information
Device Name Enter a unique identifier for the trunk.
Description Enter a descriptive name for the trunk.
Device Pool Choose the appropriate device pool for the trunk.
For trunks, device pools specify a list of Cisco Unified 
Communications Managers that the trunk uses to distribute the call 
load dynamically.
Note Calls that are initiated from a phone that is registered to a 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager that does not 
belong to the device pool of the trunk use different Cisco 
Unified Communications Managers of this device pool for 
different outgoing calls. Selection of nodes occurs in a 
random order.  
A call that is initiated from a phone that is registered to a 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager that does belong 
to the device pool of the trunk uses the same Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager node for outgoing calls if the 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is up and running.
Common Device Configuration Choose the common device configuration to which you want this 
trunk assigned. The common device configuration includes the 
attributes (services or features) that are associated with a particular 
user. Common device configurations are configured in the Common 
Device Configuration window.
Call Classification This parameter determines whether an incoming call through this 
trunk is considered off the network (OffNet) or on the network 
(OnNet).
When the Call Classification field is configured as Use System 
Default, the setting of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
clusterwide service parameter, Call Classification, determines 
whether the trunk is OnNet or OffNet.
This field provides an OnNet or OffNet alerting tone when the call 
is OnNet or OffNet, respectively. The alerting tones are provided by 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Annunciators.
Use this parameter in conjunction with the settings on the Route 
Pattern Configuration window to classify an outgoing call as OnNet 
or OffNet.

Media Resource Group List This list provides a prioritized grouping of media resource groups. 
An application chooses the required media resource, such as a 
Music On Hold server, from among the available media resources 
according to the priority order that a Media Resource Group List 
defines.
Location Choose the appropriate location for the trunk. The location specifies 
the total bandwidth that is available for calls between this location 
and the central location, or hub. A location setting of Hub_None 
specifies unlimited available bandwidth.
AAR Group Choose the automated alternate routing (AAR) group for this 
device. The AAR group provides the prefix digits that are used to 
route calls that are otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. 
An AAR group setting of None specifies that no rerouting of 
blocked calls will be attempted.
Tunneled Protocol This drop-down list box displays for H.225 trunks, 
gatekeeper-controlled trunks, and non-gatekeeper-controlled 
trunks.
Choose the QSIG option if you want to use trunks to transport 
(tunnel) non-H.323 protocol information in H.323 signaling 
messages from Cisco Unified Communications Manager to other 
Annex M.1-compliant H.323 PINXs. QSIG tunneling supports the 
following features: Call Completion, Call Diversion, Call Transfer, 
Identification Services, and Message Waiting Indication.

Packet Capture Mode This setting exists for troubleshooting encryption only; packet 
capturing may cause high CPU usage or call-processing 
interruptions. 
Choose one of the following options from the drop-down list box: 
   NoneThis option, which serves as the default setting, 
indicates that no packet capturing is occurring. After you 
complete packet capturing, configure this setting. 
   Batch Processing ModeCisco Unified Communications 
Manager writes the decrypted or nonencrypted messages to a 
file, and the system encrypts each file. On a daily basis, the 
system creates a new file with a new encryption key. Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager, which stores the file for 
seven days, also stores the keys that encrypt the file in a secure 
location. Cisco Unified Communications Manager stores the 
file in the PktCap virtual directory. A single file contains the 
time stamp, source IP address, source IP port, destination IP 
address, packet protocol, message length, and the message. The 
IREC tool uses HTTPS, administrator username and password, 
and the specified day to request a single encrypted file that 
contains the captured packets. Likewise, the tool requests the 
key information to decrypt the encrypted file. 
Tip You do not have to reset the trunk after enabling/disabling 
Packet Capturing.
For more information on capturing packets, refer to the 
Troubleshooting Guide for Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager.
Packet Capture Duration This setting exists for troubleshooting encryption only; packet 
capturing may cause high CPU usage or call-processing 
interruptions.
This field specifies the maximum number of minutes that is allotted 
for one session of packet capturing. The default setting equals 0, 
although the range exists from 0 to 300 minutes.
To initiate packet capturing, enter a value other than 0 in the field. 
After packet capturing completes, the value, 0, displays.
For more information on capturing packets, refer to the Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager Troubleshooting Guide.

Media Termination Point 
Required
This check box is used to indicate whether a media termination 
point (MTP) is used to implement features that H.323 does not 
support (such as hold and transfer).
Check the Media Termination Point Required check box if you want 
to use a media termination point to implement features. Uncheck the 
Media Termination Point Required check box if you do not want to 
use a media termination point to implement features.
Use this check box only for H.323 clients and those H.323 devices 
that do not support the H.245 Empty Capabilities Set or if you want 
media streaming to terminate through a single source.
If you check this check box to require an MTP and one or both 
parties are a video endpoint, the call operates as audio only.
Retry Video Call as Audio This check box applies only to video endpoints that receive a call. 
For trunks, this check box pertains to calls that are received from 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager but not to calls that are 
received from the wide-area network (WAN).
By default, the system checks this check box to specify that this 
device should immediately retry a video call as an audio call (if it 
cannot connect as a video call) prior to sending the call to call 
control for rerouting.
If you uncheck this check box, a video call that fails to connect as 
video does not try to establish as an audio call. The call then fails to 
call control, and call control routes the call via Automatic Alternate 
Routing (AAR) and/or route/hunt list.
Wait for Far-End H.245 Terminal 
Capability Set
This field applies only to H.323 devices.
This check box specifies that Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager waits to receive the far-end H.245 Terminal Capability Set 
before it sends its H.245 Terminal Capability Set. By default, the 
system checks this check box. To specify that Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager should initiate capabilities exchange, 
uncheck this check box.
Path Replacement Support If you choose the QSIG option from the Tunneled Protocol 
drop-down list box, this check box displays for H.225 trunks, 
gatekeeper-controlled trunks, and non-gatekeeper-controlled 
trunks. This setting works with QSIG tunneling (Annex M.1) to 
ensure that non-H.323 information gets sent on the leg of the call 
that uses path replacement.
Note The default setting leaves the check box unchecked. When 
you choose the QSIG Tunneled Protocol option, the system 
automatically checks the check box.

Transmit UTF-8 for Calling 
Party Name
This device uses the user locale setting of the SIP trunks to 
determine whether to send unicode and whether to translate 
received Unicode information.
For the sending device, if you check this check box and the user 
locale setting in the device pool at the device matches the 
terminating phone user locale, the device sends unicode. If the user 
locale settings do not match, the device sends ASCII.
The receiving device translates incoming unicode characters based 
on the user locale setting of the sending device pool of the device. 
If the user locale setting matches the terminating phone user locale, 
the phone displays the characters.
Note The phone may display garbled characters if the two ends of 
the trunk configure user locales that do not belong to the 
same language group.
Unattended Port Check this check box if calls can be redirected, transferred and 
forwarded to an unattended port, such as a voice mail port.
The default value for this check box leaves it unchecked.
SRTP Allowed Check the SRTP Allowed check box if you want Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager to allow secure and nonsecure calls over 
the trunk.
If you do not check this check box, Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager prevents SRTP negotiation with the trunk and uses RTP.
Caution If you check this check box, Cisco strongly recommends 
that you configure IPSec, so you do not expose keys and 
other security-related information during call 
negotiations. If you do not configure IPSec correctly, 
consider signaling between Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager and the gateway as nonsecure.

Use Trusted Relay Point From the drop-down list box, enable or disable whether Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager inserts a trusted relay point 
(TRP) device with this media endpoint. Choose one of the following 
values:
   DefaultIf you choose this value, the device uses the Use 
Trusted Relay Point setting from the common device 
configuration with which this device associates.
   OffChoose this value to disable the use of a TRP with this 
device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point

   OnChoose this value to enable the use of a TRP with this 
device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point 
setting in the common device configuration with which this 
device associates.
A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or 
transcoder device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest to 
the associated endpoint device if more than one resource is needed 
for the endpoint (for example, a transcoder or RSVPAgent).
If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used 
as the required MTP. See the TRP Insertion in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager System Guide for details of call behavior.
If both TRP and RSVPAgent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager first tries to find an RSVPAgent 
that can also be used as a TRP.
If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder 
that is also designated as a TRP.
Refer to the Trusted Relay Point section and its subtopics in the 
Media Resource Management chapter of the Cisco Unified

Gatekeeper Name Choose the gatekeeper that controls this trunk.
Note For a gatekeeper-controlled trunk to register correctly with 
a gatekeeper through use of H.323 dynamic addressing, you 
must set the Send Product ID and Version ID service 
parameter to True. (The default value specifies False.) To do 
so, choose System > Service Parameters and find the Send 
Product ID and Version ID service parameter for the Cisco 
CallManager service in the Clusterwide Parameters (Device

Terminal Type Use the Terminal Type field to designate the type for all devices that 
this trunk controls.
Always set this field to Gateway for normal trunk call admission 
control.
Technology Prefix Use this optional field to eliminate the need for entering the IP 
address of every Cisco Unified Communications Manager when 
configuring the gw-type-prefix on the gatekeeper:
   If you leave this field blank (the default setting), you must 
specify the IP address of each Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager that can register with the gatekeeper when you enter 
the gw-type-prefix command on the gatekeeper.
   When you use this field, make sure that the value that you enter 
exactly matches the type-prefix value that is specified with the 
gw-type-prefix command on the gatekeeper.
For example, if you leave this field blank and you have two Cisco 
Unified Communications Managers with IP addresses of 10.1.1.2 
and 11.1.1.3, enter the following gw-type-prefix command on the 
gatekeeper:
gw-type-prefix 1#* default-technology gw ip 10.1.1.2 gw ip 
11.1.1.3
If you enter 1#* in this field, enter the following gw-type-prefix 
command on the gatekeeper:
gw-type-prefix 1#* default-technology
Zone Use this optional field to request a specific zone on the gatekeeper 
with which Cisco Unified Communications Manager will register. 
The zone specifies the total bandwidth that is available for calls 
between this zone and another zone:
   If you do not enter a value in this field, the zone subnet 
command on the gatekeeper determines the zone with which 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager registers. Cisco 
recommends the default setting for most configurations.
   If you want Cisco Unified Communications Manager to register 
with a specific zone on the gatekeeper, enter the value in this 
field that exactly matches the zone name that is configured on 
the gatekeeper with the zone command. Specifying a zone 
name in this field eliminates the need for a zone subnet 
command for each Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
that is registered with the gatekeeper.

Device Pool Choose the appropriate device pool for the trunk.
For trunks, device pools specify a list of Cisco Unified 
Communications Managers that the trunk uses to distribute the call 
load dynamically.
Note Calls that are initiated from a phone that is registered to a 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager that does not 
belong to the device pool of the trunk use different Cisco 
Unified Communications Managers of this device pool for 
different outgoing calls. Selection of Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager nodes occurs in a random order.  
A call that is initiated from a phone that is registered to a 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager that does belong 
to the device pool of the trunk uses the same Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager node for outgoing calls if the 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is up and running.
The default value for Device Pool specifies Not Selected.
Common Device Configuration Choose the common device configuration to which you want this 
trunk assigned. The common device configuration includes the 
attributes (services or features) that are associated with a particular 
user. Common device configurations are configured in the Common 
Device Configuration window.
Call Classification This parameter determines whether an incoming call through this 
trunk is considered off the network (OffNet) or on the network 
(OnNet).
The default value for Call Classification is Use System Default. 
When the Call Classification field is configured as Use System 
Default, the setting of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
clusterwide service parameter, Call Classification, determines 
whether the trunk is OnNet or OffNet.
This field provides an OnNet or OffNet alerting tone when the call 
is OnNet or OffNet, respectively.
Use this parameter in conjunction with the settings on the Route 
Pattern Configuration window to classify an outgoing call as OnNet 
or OffNet.
Media Resource Group List This list provides a prioritized grouping of media resource groups. 
An application chooses the required media resource, such as a 
Music On Hold server, from among the available media resources 
according to the priority order that a Media Resource Group List 
defines.
The default value for Media Resource Group List specifies None.

Location Choose the appropriate location for the trunk. The location specifies 
the total bandwidth that is available for calls between this location 
and the central location, or hub. A location setting of Hub_None 
specifies unlimited available bandwidth.
The location also associates with the RSVP policy with regard to 
other locations. The configuration allows RSVP to be enabled and 
disabled based upon location pairs.
The default value for Location specifies Hub_None.
AAR Group Choose the automated alternate routing (AAR) group for this 
device. The AAR group provides the prefix digits that are used to 
route calls that are otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. 
An AAR group setting of None specifies that no rerouting of 
blocked calls will be attempted.
The default value for AAR Group specifies None.
Packet Capture Mode This setting exists for troubleshooting encryption only; packet 
capturing may cause high CPU usage or call-processing 
interruptions. 
Choose one of the following options from the drop-down list box: 
   NoneThis option, which serves as the default setting, 
indicates that no packet capturing is occurring. After you 
complete packet capturing, configure this setting. 
   Batch Processing ModeCisco Unified Communications 
Manager writes the decrypted or nonencrypted messages to a 
file, and the system encrypts each file. On a daily basis, the 
system creates a new file with a new encryption key. Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager, which stores the file for 
seven days, also stores the keys that encrypt the file in a secure 
location. Cisco Unified Communications Manager stores the 
file in the PktCap virtual directory. A single file contains the 
time stamp, source IP address, source IP port, destination IP 
address, packet protocol, message length, and the message. The 
TAC debugging tool uses HTTPS, administrator username and 
password, and the specified day to request a single encrypted 
file that contains the captured packets. Likewise, the tool 
requests the key information to decrypt the encrypted file. 
Before you contact TAC, you must capture the SRTP packets by 
using a sniffer trace between the affected devices. 
For more information on capturing packets, refer to the 
Troubleshooting Guide for Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager.

Media Termination Point 
Required
You can configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager SIP 
trunks to always use an MTP. Check this check box to provide media 
channel information in the outgoing INVITE request. When this 
check box is checked, all media channels must terminate and 
reoriginate on the MTP device. If you uncheck the check box, the 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager can decide whether calls 
are to go through the MTP device or be connected directly between 
the endpoints.
Note If check box remains unchecked (default case), Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager will attempt to 
dynamically allocate an MTP if the DTMF methods for the 
call legs are not compatible.
For example, existing phones that run SCCP support only 
out-of-band DTMF, and existing phones that run SIP support 
RFC2833. Because the DTMF methods are not identical, the Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager dynamically allocates an MTP. 
If, however, a new phone that runs SCCP, which supports RFC2833 
and out-of-band, calls an existing phone that runs SIP, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager does not allocate an MTP because both 
phones support RFC2833. So, by having the same type of DTMF 
method supported on each phone, no need exists for MTP.
Retry Video Call as Audio This check box pertains to outgoing SIP trunk calls and does not 
impact incoming calls. 
By default, the system checks this check box to specify that this 
device should immediately retry a video call as an audio call (if it 
cannot connect as a video call) prior to sending the call to call 
control for rerouting. 
If you uncheck this check box, a video call that fails to connect as 
video does not try to establish as an audio call. The call then fails to 
call control, and call control routes the call via Automatic Alternate 
Routing (AAR) and/or route/hunt list.

Transmit UTF-8 for Calling 
Party Name
This device uses the user locale setting of the device pool to 
determine whether to send unicode and whether to translate 
received Unicode information.
For the sending device, if you check this check box and the user 
locale setting in the device pool matches the terminating phone user 
locale, the device sends unicode. If the user locale settings do not 
match, the device sends ASCII.
The receiving device translates incoming unicode characters based 
on the user locale setting of the sending device pool. If the user 
locale setting matches the terminating phone user locale, the phone 
displays the characters.
Note The phone may display malformed characters if the two 
ends of the trunk configure user locales that do not belong 
to the same language group.
The default value for Transmit UTF-8 for Calling Party Name 
leaves the check box unchecked.
Unattended Port Check this check box if calls can be redirected and transferred to an 
unattended port, such as a voice mail port.
The default value for this check box leaves it unchecked.
SRTP Allowed Check this check box if you want Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager to allow secure and nonsecure media calls over the trunk. 
Checking this check box enables Secure Real-Time Protocol 
(SRTP) over encrypted TLS SIP Trunk connections and also allows 
the SIP trunk to fall back to Real-Time Protocol (RTP) if the 
endpoints do not support SRTP.
If you do not check this check box, Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager prevents SRTP negotiation with the trunk and uses RTP 
negotiation instead.
The default value for this check box leaves it unchecked.
Caution If you check this check box, ensure that the SIP Trunk is 
configured to use TLS, so keys and other security-related 
information do not get exposed during call negotiations. 
If you do not configure TLS correctly, SRTP will not 
work.

Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

Use Trusted Relay Point From the drop-down list box, enable or disable whether Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager inserts a trusted relay point 
(TRP) device with this media endpoint. Choose one of the following 
values:
   DefaultIf you choose this value, the device uses the Use 
Trusted Relay Point setting from the common device 
configuration with which this device associates.
   OffChoose this value to disable the use of a TRP with this 
device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point 
setting in the common device configuration with which this 
device associates.
   OnChoose this value to enable the use of a TRP with this 
device. This setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point 
setting in the common device configuration with which this 
device associates.
A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or 
transcoder device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest to 
the associated endpoint device if more than one resource is needed 
for the endpoint (for example, a transcoder or RSVPAgent).
If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used 
as the required MTP. See the TRP Insertion in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager in the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager System Guide for details of call behavior.
If both TRP and RSVPAgent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager first tries to find an RSVPAgent 
that can also be used as a TRP.
If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder 
that is also designated as a TRP.
Refer to the Trusted Relay Point section and its subtopics in the 
Media Resource Management chapter of the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager System Guide for a complete discussion 
of network virtualization and trusted relay points.

Remote-Party-ID Use this check box to allow or disallow the SIP trunk to send the 
Remote-Party-ID (RPID) header in outgoing SIP messages from 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager to the remote destination. 
If you check this box, the SIP trunk always sends the RPID header. 
If you do not check this box, the SIP trunk does not send the RPID

two options can have the values of Default, Allowed, or 
Restricted. 
If either option is set to Default, the corresponding information 
(Calling Line ID Presentation and/or Calling Name 
Presentation) in the RPID header comes from the Call Control 
layer (which is based on call-by-call configuration) within Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager. If either option is set to 
Allowed or Restricted, the corresponding information in the

The decision of which Asserted Identity (either P-Asserted-Identity 
or P-Preferred-Identity) header gets sent depends on the configured 
value of the Asserted-Type option. A non-default value for 
Asserted-Type overrides values that come from Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Call Control. If the Asserted-Type 
option is set to Default, the value of Screening Identification that 
the SIP trunk receives from Cisco Unified Communications

Note If you configure the Called Party Transformation CSS as 
None, the transformation does not match and does not get 
applied. Ensure that you configure the Called Party 
Transformation CSS in a non-null partition that is not used 
for routing.
Use Device Pool Called Party 
Transformation CSS
To use the Called Party Transformation CSS that is configured in 
the device pool that is assigned to this device, check this check box. 
If you do not check this check box, the device uses the Called Party 
Transformation CSS that you configured for this device in the

Calling Party Transformation 
CSS
This setting allows you to localize the calling party number on the 
device. Make sure that the Calling Party Transformation CSS that 
you choose contains the calling party transformation pattern that 
you want to assign to this device.
Tip Before the call occurs, the device must apply the 
transformation by using digit analysis. If you configure the 
Calling Party Transformation CSS as None, the 
transformation does not match and does not get applied. 
Ensure that you configure the Calling Party Transformation 
Pattern in a non-null partition that is not used for routing.
Use Device Pool Calling Party 
Transformation CSS
To use the Calling Party Transformation CSS that is configured in 
the device pool that is assigned to this device, check this check box. 
If you do not check this check box, the device uses the Calling Party

Calling Line ID Presentation Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses calling line ID 
presentation (CLIP) as a supplementary service to provide the 
calling party number. The SIP trunk level configuration takes 
precedence over the call-by-call configuration.
The default value for Calling Line ID Presentation specifies 
Default, which translates to Allowed. Choose Default if you want 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager to send calling number 
information.
Choose Restricted if you do not want Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager to send the calling number information.
Calling Name Presentation Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses calling name ID 
presentation (CNIP) as a supplementary service to provide the 
calling party name. The SIP trunk level configuration takes 
precedence over the call-by-call configuration.
Choose Allowed, which is the default, if you want Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager to send calling name information.
Choose Restricted if you do not want Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager to send the calling name information.
The default value for Calling Name Presentation specifies Default.
Caller ID DN Enter the pattern, from 0 to 24 digits, that you want to use to format 
the caller ID on outbound calls from the trunk.
For example, in North America
   555XXXX = Variable Caller ID, where X represents an 
extension number. The Central Office (CO) appends the 
number with the area code if you do not specify it.
   5555000 = Fixed Caller ID. Use this form when you want the 
Corporate number to be sent instead of the exact extension from 
which the call is placed. The CO appends the number with the 
area code if you do not specify it.
You can enter the international escape character +.
Caller Name Enter a caller name to override the caller name that is received from 
the originating SIP Device.
Redirecting Diversion Header 
Delivery - Outbound
Check this check box to include the Redirecting Number in the 
outgoing INVITE message from the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager to indicate the original called party number and the 
redirecting reason of the call when the call is forwarded.
Uncheck the check box to exclude the first Redirecting Number and 
the redirecting reason from the outgoing INVITE message. 
You use Redirecting Number for voice-messaging integration only. 
If your configured voice-messaging system supports Redirecting 
Number, you should check the check box.
The default value for Redirecting Number IE Delivery - Outbound 
specifies check box does not get checked.

Presence Group Configure this field with the Presence feature.
From the drop-down list box, choose a Presence group for the SIP 
trunk. The selected group specifies the destinations that the 
device/application/server that is connected to the SIP trunk can 
monitor.
The default value for Presence Group specifies Standard Presence 
group, configured with installation. Presence groups that are 
configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration also appear in the drop-down list box.
Presence authorization works with presence groups to allow or 
block presence requests between groups. Refer to the Presence 
chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features 
and Services Guide for information about configuring permissions 
between groups.
Tip A presence group can be applied to the SIP trunk or to the 
application that is connected to the SIP trunk. If a presence 
group is configured for both a SIP trunk and SIP trunk 
application, the presence group that is applied to the 
application overrides the presence group that is applied to 
the trunk.
SIP Trunk Security Profile Choose the security profile to apply to the SIP trunk. 
You must apply a security profile to all SIP trunks that are 
configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration. Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
provides a predefined, nonsecure SIP trunk security profile for 
autoregistration. To enable security features for a SIP trunk, 
configure a new security profile and apply it to the SIP trunk. If the 
trunk does not support security, choose a nonsecure profile.
To identify the settings that the profile contains, choose System > 
Security Profile > SIP Trunk Security Profile.
For information on how to configure security profiles, refer to the 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.
The default value for SIP Trunk Security Profile specifies Not 
Selected.
Rerouting Calling Search Space Calling search spaces determine the partitions that calling devices 
can search when attempting to complete a call. The rerouting calling 
search space gets used to determine where a SIP user (A) can refer 
another user (B) to a third party (C). After the refer is completed, B 
and C connect. In this case, the rerouting calling search space that 
is used is that of the initial SIP user (A). 
Note Calling Search Space also applies to 3xx redirection and 
INVITE with Replaces features.
The default value for Rerouting Calling Search Space specifies 
None.

Out-of-Dialog Refer Calling 
Search Space
Calling search spaces determine the partitions that calling devices 
can search when attempting to complete a call. The out-of-dialog 
calling search space gets used when a Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager refers a call (B) coming into SIP user (A) 
to a third party (C) when there is no involvement of SIP user (A). In 
this case, the system uses the out-of-dialog calling search space of 
SIP user (A).
The default value for Out-of-Dialog Refer Calling Search Space 
specifies None.
SUBSCRIBE Calling Search 
Space
Supported with the Presence feature, the SUBSCRIBE calling 
search space determines how Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager routes presence requests from the 
device/server/application that connects to the SIP trunk. This 
setting allows you to apply a calling search space separate from the 
call-processing search space for presence (SUBSCRIBE) requests 
for the SIP trunk.
From the drop-down list box, choose the SUBSCRIBE calling 
search space to use for presence requests for the SIP trunk. All 
calling search spaces that you configure in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Administration display in the 
SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space drop-down list box.
If you do not select a different calling search space for the SIP trunk 
from the drop-down list, the SUBSCRIBE calling search space 
defaults to None.
To configure a SUBSCRIBE calling search space specifically for 
this purpose, you configure a calling search space as you do all 
calling search spaces. For information on how to configure a calling 
search space, see the Calling Search Space Configuration section 
on page 50-1.

Deleting a Trunk
Perform the following steps to delete a trunk.
Before You Begin
You cannot delete a trunk that is assigned to one or more route patterns. To find out which route patterns 
are using the trunk, in the Trunk Configuration window, choose Dependency Records from the Related 
Links drop-down list box and click Go. If dependency records are not enabled for the system, the 
Dependency Records Summary window displays a message. For more information about dependency 
records, see the Accessing Dependency Records section on page A-2. If you try to delete a trunk that 
is in use, Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays a message. Before deleting a trunk that is 
currently in use, you must perform either or both of the following tasks:
   Assign a different trunk to any route patterns that are using the trunk that you want to delete. See 
the Configuring a Route Pattern section on page 41-2.
   Delete the route patterns that are using the trunk that you want to delete. See the Deleting a Route 
Pattern section on page 41-12.
SIP Profile From the drop-down list box, choose the SIP profile that is to be 
used for this SIP trunk.
The default value for SIP Profile specifies None Selected.
DTMF Signaling Method Choose from the following options:
No Preference (default)Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
will pick the DTMF method to negotiate DTMF, so an MTP is not 
required for the call. If Cisco Unified Communications Manager has 
no choice but to allocate an MTP (if the Media Termination Point 
Required check box is checked), SIP trunk will negotiate DTMF to 
RFC2833.
RFC 2833Choose this configuration if the preferred DTMF 
method to be used across the trunk is RFC2833. Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager makes every effort to negotiate 
RFC2833 regardless of MTP usage. Out of band provides the 
fallback method if the peer endpoint supports it.
OOB and RFC 2833Choose this configuration if both out of band 
and RFC2833 should be used for DTMF.
Note If the peer endpoint supports both out of band and 
RFC2833, Cisco Unified Communications Manager will 
negotiate both out-of-band and RFC2833 DTMF methods. 
As a result, two DTMF events would get sent for the same 
DTMF keypress (one out of band and the other, RFC2833).

The Cisco Unified Mobility Mobile Connect feature allows users to manage business calls using a single 
phone number and pick up in-progress calls on the desktop phone and mobile phone. Mobile Voice 
Access is the associated integrated voice response (IVR) system, which allows users to turn Mobile 
Connect on or off and to initiate calls from a mobile phone or other remote phone as if the call were 
initiated from the desktop phone.
Remote destinations represent the mobile (or other) phones that are able to accept transfers from the user 
desktop phone and can be used to initiate calls using Mobile Voice Access.

Device Defaults Configuration
Use device defaults to set the default characteristics of each type of device that registers with a Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager. The device defaults for a device type apply to all auto-registered 
devices of that type within a Cisco Unified Communications Manager 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 Unified Communications Manager, it acquires the device 
default settings for its device type. After a device registers, you can update its configuration individually 
to change the device settings.
Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically sets device defaults. You cannot create 
new device defaults or delete existing ones, but you can change the default settings.
This section covers the following topics:
   Updating Device Defaults, page 90-1

Default Device Profile Configuration
Use the default device profile for whenever a user logs on to a phone model for which no user device 
profile exists. To create a default device profile for each phone model that supports Cisco Extension 
Mobility, use the Default Device Profile Configuration window. The maximum number of default device 
profiles cannot exceed the number of phone models that support Cisco Extension Mobility.
For example, a user logs on to a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960, for which there is a user device profile. 
The user device profile for the user gets downloaded to the phone to which the user logged on. Later, the 
same user logs on to a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940, for which he does not have a user device profile. 
In this case, the default device profile for the 7940 gets downloaded to the phone.
A default device profile comprises the set of attributes (services and/or features) that are associated with 
a particular device. Device profiles include device type, user locale, phone button template, softkey 
template, Join Across Lines and Single Button Barge feature settings, multilevel precedence and 
preemption (MLPP) information, and IP phone services.

Device Profile Configuration
A device profile comprises the set of attributes (services and/or features) that are associated with a 
particular device. Device profiles include name, description, phone template, add-on modules, softkey 
templates, feature settings, multilevel precedence and preemption (MLPP) information, directory 
numbers, subscribed services, and speed-dial information. You can assign the user device profile to a 
user, so, when the user logs in to a device, the user device profile that you have assigned to that user 
loads onto that device as a default login device profile. After a user device profile is loaded onto the 
phone, the phone picks up the attributes of that device profile. 
You can also assign a user device profile to be the default logout device profile for a particular device. 
When a user logs out of a phone, for instance, the logout device profile loads onto the phone and gives 
that phone the attributes of the logout device profile. In the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration windows, you can create, modify, or delete the user device profile. If a user device profile 
is used as the logout device profile, you cannot delete the user device profile.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager also supports a device profile default. Use the device profile 
default for whenever a user logs on to a phone model for which no user device profile exists. To create 
a device profile default for each phone model that supports Cisco Extension Mobility, use the Device 
Profile Default Configuration window. The maximum number of device profile defaults cannot exceed 
the number of phone models that support Cisco Extension Mobility. For more information about the 
device profile default, see the Default Device Profile Configuration section on page 92-1.

Phone Button Template Configuration
Cisco Unified Communications Manager 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 that all phones have at least one line that is assigned. Normally, use button 1 for this. You can 
assign additional lines to a phone, depending on the Cisco Unified IP Phone model. Phones also 
generally have several features, such as speed dial and call forward, that are assigned to the remaining 
buttons.
Finding a Phone Button Template
Because you may have several phone button templates in your network, Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager Administration lets you locate specific phone button templates on the basis of specific criteria. 
Use the following procedure to locate phone button templates.
Note During your work in a browser session, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration retains 
your phone button template search preferences. If you navigate to other menu items and return to this 
menu item, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration retains your phone button template 
search preferences until you modify your search or close the browser.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Device > Device Settings > Phone Button Template.
The Find and List Phone Button Templates window displays. Records from an active (prior) query may 
also display in the window.
Step 2 To find all records in the database, ensure the dialog box is empty; go to Step 3.

Configuring Phone Button Templates
Cisco Unified Communications Manager includes default templates for each Cisco Unified IP Phone 
model. When you add phones, you can assign one of these templates to the phone or create a template 
of your own.
You can make changes to the custom, nonstandard templates that you created, and you can change the 
label of the custom phone button template. You cannot change the function of the buttons in the default 
templates. 
You can update a custom, nonstandard phone button template to add or remove features, add or remove 
lines and speed dials, or assign features, lines, and speed dials to different buttons on the phone. You can 
change the button labels in the default phone button templates, but you cannot change the function of the 
buttons in the default templates. If you update a phone template, be sure to inform affected users of the 
changes.
The Programmable Line Key (PLK) feature expands the list of features that can be assigned to the line 
buttons to include features that are normally controlled by softkeys; for example, New Call, Call Back, 
End Call, and Forward All.
Use the following procedures to add, rename, or update custom, nonstandard templates or to add or 
remove features, lines, or speed dials.
If you create a template for a Cisco Unified IP Phone, you can change the default template for that phone 
during auto-registration. See the Updating Device Defaults section on page 90-1.

Softkey Template Configuration
Softkey template configuration allows the administrator to manage softkeys that the Cisco Unified IP 
Phones (such as 7970) support. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports two types of softkey 
templates: standard and nonstandard. Applications that support softkeys can have one or more standard 
softkey templates that are associated with them; for example, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
has the Standard Feature and the Standard User softkey templates that are associated with it. You cannot 
modify standard softkey templates.
The administrator can copy, update, or delete nonstandard softkey templates by using softkey template 
configuration.
The following sections provide details about softkey template configuration:

Table 97-1 SIP Profile Configuration Settings 
Field Description
SIP Profile Information
Name Enter a name to identify the SIP profile; for example, SIP_7905. The 
value can include 1 to 50 characters, including alphanumeric characters, 
dot, dash, and underscores.
Description This field identifies the purpose of the SIP profile; for example, SIP for 
7970. 
Default MTP Telephony 
Event Payload Type
This field specifies the default payload type for RFC2833 telephony 
event. See RFC 2833 for more information. In most cases, the default 
value specifies the appropriate payload type. Be sure that you have a firm 
understanding of this parameter before changing it, as changes could 
result in DTMF tones not being received or generated. The default value 
specifies 101 with range from 96 to 127.
The value of this parameter affects calls with the following conditions:
   The call is an outgoing SIP call from Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager.
   For the calling SIP trunk, the Media Termination Point Required 
check box is checked on the SIP Trunk Configuration window.
Resource Priority 
Namespace List

Redirect by Application Checking this check box and configuring this SIP Profile on the SIP trunk 
allows the Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrator to
   Apply a specific calling search space to redirected contacts that are 
received in the 3xx response. 
   Apply digit analysis to the redirected contacts to make sure that the 
call get routed correctly.
   Prevent DOS attack by limiting the number of redirection (recursive 
redirection) that a service parameter can set.
   Allow other features to be invoked while the redirection is taking 
place.
Getting redirected to a restricted phone number (such as an international 
number) means that handling redirection at the stack level will cause the 
call to be routed instead of being blocked. This represents the behavior 
that you will get if the Redirect by Application check box is unchecked.
See the Redirection section on page 42-16.
Disable Early Media on 180 By default, Cisco Unified Communications Manager will signal the 
calling phone to play local ringback if SDP is not received in the 180 or 
183 response. If SDP is included in the 180 or 183 response, instead of 
playing ringback locally, Cisco Unified Communications Manager will 
connect media, and the calling phone will play whatever the called device 
is sending (such as ringback or busy signal). If you do not receive 
ringback, the device to which you are connecting may be including SDP 
in the 180 response, but it is not sending any media before the 200OK 
response. In this case, check this check box to play local ringback on the 
calling phone and connect the media upon receipt of the 200OK response
Note Even though the phone that is receiving ringback is the calling 
phone, you need the configuration on the called device profile 
because it determines the behavior.
See the Use of Early Media section on page 42-10.
Outgoing T.38 INVITE 
Include Audio mline
The parameter allows the system to accept a signal from Microsoft 
Exchange that causes it to switch the call from audio to T.38 fax. To use 
this feature, you must also configure a SIP trunk with this SIP profile. For 
more information, see Chapter 88, Trunk Configuration.
Note The parameter applies to SIP trunks only, not phones that are 
running SIP or other endpoints.

This section describes how to delete a SIP profile.
Before You Begin
To find out which devices are using the SIP profile, choose Dependency Records link from the Related 
Links drop-down list box in the SIP Profile Configuration window. If the dependency records are not 
enabled for the system, the dependency records summary window displays a message. For more 
information about dependency records, see the Accessing Dependency Records section on page A-2.
Trunk Specific Configuration
Reroute Incoming Request 
to new Trunk based on
Cisco Unified Communications Manager only accepts calls from the SIP 
device whose IP address matches the destination address of the 
configured SIP trunk. In addition, the port on which the SIP message 
arrives must match the one that is configured on the SIP trunk. After 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager accepts the call, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager uses the configuration for this setting to 
determine whether the call should get rerouted to another trunk.
From the drop-down list box, choose the method that Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager uses to identify the SIP trunk where the call 
gets rerouted:
   NeverIf the SIP trunk matches the IP address of the originating 
device, choose this option, which equals the default setting. Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager, which identifies the trunk by 
using the source IP address of the incoming packet and the signaling 
port number, does not route the call to a different (new) SIP trunk. 
The call occurs on the SIP trunk on which the call arrived.
   Contact Info HeaderIf the SIP trunk uses a SIP proxy, choose this 
option. Cisco Unified Communications Manager parses the contact 
header in the incoming request and uses the IP address or domain 
name and signaling port number that is specified in the header to 
reroute the call to the SIP trunk that uses the IP address and port. If 
no SIP trunk is identified, the call occurs on the trunk on which the 
call arrived.
   Call-Info Header with purpose=x-cisco-origIPIf the SIP trunk 
uses a Customer Voice Portal (CVP) or a Back-to-Back User Agent 
(B2BUA), choose this option. When the incoming request is 
received, Cisco Unified Communications Manager parses the 
Call-Info header, looks for the parameter, purpose=x-cisco-origIP, 
and uses the IP address or domain name and the signaling port 
number that is specified in the header to reroute the call to the SIP 
trunk that uses the IP address and port. If the parameter does not exist 
in the header or no SIP trunk is identified, the call occurs on the SIP

Use Trusted Relay Point Check this check box to enable the devices that associate with this common 
device configuration to use a trusted relay point.
A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or transcoder device 
that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager inserts a TRP for an endpoint if the 
Use Trusted Relay Point check box is checked for the endpoint or for the 
common device configuration with which the endpoint associates. The 
endpoint device can comprise any device that terminates media, including 
SIP, H.323, MGCP, and SCCP devices, such as phones that are running 
SCCP, CTI devices, MoH servers, annunciators, and conference bridges.
If the Use Trusted Relay Point setting of a device specifies On or Off, the 
device setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting from the 
common device configuration with which the device associates.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest to the 
associated endpoint device if more than one resource is needed for the 
endpoint (for example, a transcoder or RSVPAgent).
If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used as the 
required MTP. See the TRP Insertion in Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for 
details of call behavior.
If both TRP and RSVPAgent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager first tries to find an RSVPAgent that can also be 
used as a TRP.
If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder that is also 
designated as a TRP.
Refer to the Trusted Relay Point section and its subtopics in the Media 
Resource Management chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager System Guide for a complete discussion of network virtualization 
and trusted relay points.

calling search spaces, route point, and translation pattern automatically get created when the 
administrator successfully runs and completes the configuration wizard. The wizard also creates BAT 
templates for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant manager phone, the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Assistant assistant phone, and all other user phones. The administrator can 
use the BAT templates to configure the managers, assistants, and all other users. Refer to the Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Configuration Wizard provides windows for 
each configuration parameter. The windows provide the administrator with preconfigured information. 
If the administrator prefers to use other configuration information (for example, partition names), the 
administrator can change the preconfigured information to the appropriate information.
For more information on how to use the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant

Credential Policy Default Configuration
The Credential Policy Default window provides options to change the default credential policy 
assignment for a user and credential type (for example, end user PINs). 
At installation, Cisco Unified Communications Manager assigns the system Default Credential Policy 
to end user passwords, end user PINS, and application user passwords. The system applies the 
application password that you configured at installation to all application users. You can assign a new 
default credential policy and configure new default credentials after installation. 
   Upgrades from 5.x releases automatically migrate end user passwords and PINs.
   Upgrades from 4.x releases assign a default password and PIN to end users during installation.
Note The system does not support empty (null) credentials. If your system uses LDAP authentication, you 
must configure end user default credentials immediately after installation, or logins will fail. 
You can also assign a new user credential policy, manage user authentication events, or view credential 
information for a user in the user configuration windows. For more information, see Managing 
Application User Credential Information section on page 109-10 for application users and Managing 
End User Credential Information section on page 110-12 for end users.
This chapter describes how to assign default credential policies to a credential group. See the Related 
Topics section on page 107-4 for more information about changing credential information for 
individual users.

Credential Policy Configuration
The Credential Policy Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration allows you to configure credential policies to secure user accounts.
A policy comprises a set of rules that controls access to a system or network resource. A credential policy 
defines password requirements and account lockouts for user accounts. 
Credential policies that are assigned to user accounts control the authentication process in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager. 
After you add a credential policy, you can assign the new policy as the default policy for a credential 
type or to an individual application or end user.
This chapter describes how to configure credential policies. See the Related Topics section on 
page 108-6 for more information about assigning credential policies.
The following topics contain information about configuring credential policies:
   Default Credential Policy, page 108-1
   Trivial Credential Checks, page 108-2
   Finding a Credential Policy, page 108-3

   Related Topics, page 108-6
Default Credential Policy
At installation, Cisco Unified Communications Manager assigns a static credential policy to end user 
PINs and to application and end user passwords. The policy contains settings for failed logon resets, 
lockout durations, expiration periods, and credential requirements. The Credential Policy Configuration 
window allows you to configure new credential policies for your system or site. You cannot change the 
static policy.
Figure 108-1 shows the system Default Credential Policy settings. The system provides the Default 
Credential Policy to facilitate installs and upgrades. These settings differ from the credential policy 
defaults settings that the system provides when you add a new credential policy.

Role Configuration
Roles allow Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrators who have full administration 
privilege (access) to configure end users and application users with different levels of privilege. 
Administrators with full administration privilege configure roles and user groups. In general, full-access 
administration users configure the privilege of other administration users and end users to Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Administration and to other applications.
Different levels of privilege exist for each application. For the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration application, two levels of privilege exist: read privilege and update privilege. These 
privilege levels differ as follows:
   Users with update privilege can view and modify the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration windows to which the user group of the user has update privilege.
   A user with read privilege can view the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration 
windows that belong to the roles to which the user group of the user has read privilege. A user with 
read privilege for a window cannot, however, make any changes on those administration windows 
to which the user has only read privilege. For a user with read privilege, the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Administration application does not display any update buttons nor 
icons.
Roles comprise groups of resources for an application. At installation, default standard roles get created 
for various administrative functions. You may, however, create custom roles that comprise custom 
groupings of resources for an application.
Note Certain standard roles have no associated application nor resource. These roles provide login 
authentication for various applications.
Use the following topics to configure roles:

Step 7 Choose the roles to assign to this user group by clicking the check boxes next to the role names. To close 
the Find and List Roles popup window without assigning roles to this user group, click Close.
Step 8 Click Add Selected.
The Find and List Roles popup window closes. The chosen roles get added to the Role Assignment pane 
for this user group. If you do not want to delete any assigned roles for this user group, skip to Step 10.
Step 9 To delete an assigned role from the user group, select a role in the Role Assignment pane and click 
Delete Role Assignment. Repeat this step for each role that you want to delete from this user group.
Step 10 Click Save.
The system makes the added and deleted role assignments to the user group in the database.

User/Phone Add Configuration
The End User, Phone, DN, and LA Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration provides a single window that allows the administrator to perform the basic steps that 
are required to add a new user and assign the user to a new phone. While you add a new end user and 
associate the end user with a new phone, you can configure a new directory number (DN) and line 
appearance (LA) information for the new end phone.
Note The End User, Phone, DN, and LA Configuration window does not allow you to enter existing end users, 
phones, or directory numbers.
The End User, Phone, DN, and LA Configuration window adds records of the following types:
   End users
   Phones
   Directory numbers
   Device profiles
   Voicemail profile
Note You can modify end user information only if synchronization with an LDAP server is not enabled. To 
check whether synchronization with an LDAP server is enabled, use the System > LDAP > LDAP 
System menu option. In the LDAP System window that displays, ensure that the Enable Synchronizing 
from LDAP Server check box is not checked. If synchronization is enabled, access to the End User, 
Phone, DN, and LA Configuration window is blocked.
The following topics contain information on adding and configuring end users at the End User, Phone, 
DN, and LA Configuration window:

Application User CAPF Profile Configuration
The Application User CAPF Profile Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
Administration allows you to issue locally significant certificates to secure application users. After you 
issue the certificate and perform other security-related tasks, a TLS connection opens between the 
CTIManager service and the application that is activated on the server.
One Application User CAPF Profile corresponds to a single instance of an application on a server. For 
example, if you activate an application on two servers in the cluster, you must configure two Application 
User CAPF Profiles, one for each server. If you activate two different applications on the same server, 
you must configure two Application User CAPF Profiles, one for each application on the server.
For information on how to configure the Application User CAPF Profile, refer to the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Security Guide.

SIP RealmConfiguration
When you configure digest authentication for SIP trunks, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
challenges the identity of the SIP user agent that connects to the trunk every time the trunk sends a SIP 
request to Cisco Unified Communications Manager; the SIP user agent, in turn, can challenge the 
identity of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For Cisco Unified Communications Manager to 
respond to a challenge from the SIP user agent, you must configure the SIP realm for Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager.
For information on how to configure SIP realm for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, refer to the 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), a web-based application, 
performs bulk transactions to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. BAT lets you add, 
update, or delete a large number of similar phones, users, or ports at the same time. When you use Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager Administration, each database transaction requires an individual 
manual operation, while BAT automates the process and achieves faster add, update, and delete 
operations. 
You can use BAT to work with the following types of devices and records:
   Add, update, and delete Cisco Unified IP Phones including voice gateway (VGC) phones, computer 
telephony interface (CTI) ports, and H.323 clients
   Add, update, and delete users
   Add, update, and delete User Device Profiles
   Add, update, and delete Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant managers and assistants
   Add, update, and delete ports on a Cisco Catalyst 6000 FXS Analog Interface Module
   Add or delete Cisco VG200 and Cisco VG224 analog gateways and ports
   Add or delete Forced Authorization Codes
   Add or delete Client Matter Codes
   Add or delete Call Pickup Groups
   Update or export CUP/CUPC users
   Populate or depopulate the Region Matrix
   Insert, delete, or export the Access List
   Export or import configuration
   Insert, delete, or export Remote Destination and Remote Destination Profile
You can also work with these devices in combination with the user information. For example, when you 
add CTI ports and users, BAT allows you to Enable CTI Application Use. This saves time when you 
are adding users who have applications that require a CTI port, such as Cisco IP Softphone.
An optional component of BAT, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Register Phone Tool 
(TAPS), further reduces the manual labor that is involved in administering a large system. When you 
need to add a large block of new phones, you can use BAT to add the devices with dummy media access 
control (MAC) addresses instead of entering each MAC address in the data input file. After the phones 
are installed, the phone users or the administrator can call the TAPS directory number, follow the voice 
prompts, and download the correct user device profiles for their phones.

Dependency Records
This appendix provides information about the dependency record windows in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Administration. These windows help you to determine which records in the 
database use other records. For example, you can determine which devices (such as CTI route points or 
phones) use a particular calling search space.
If you need to delete a record from Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you can use dependency 
records to show which records are associated with the record that you want to delete. You can then 
reconfigure those records, so they are associated with a different record.

    Configuration Differences for Phones That Are Running SIP
Use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to configure third-party phones that are 
running SIP (see the Configuration Checklist for Third-Party Phones That Are Running SIP section 
on page B-5). The administrator must also perform configuration steps on the third-party phone that is 
running SIP; see following examples:
   Ensure proxy address in the phone is the IP or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager.
   Ensure directory number(s) in the phone match the directory number(s) that are configured for the 
device in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
   Ensure digest user ID (sometimes referred to as Authorization ID) in the phone matches the Digest 
User ID in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Consult the documentation that came with the third-party phone that is running SIP for more 
information.
How Cisco Unified Communications Manager Identifies a Third-Party Phone
Because third-party phones that are running SIP do not send a MAC address, they must identify 
themselves by using username.
The REGISTER message includes the following header:
Authorization: Digest 
username=swhite,realm=ccmsipline,nonce=GBauADss2qoWr6k9y3hGGVDAqnLfoLk5,uri
=sip:172.18.197.224,algorithm=MD5,response=126c0643a4923359ab59d4f53494552e
The username, swhite, must match an end user that is configured in the End User Configuration window 
of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (see Configuring an End User, page 110-3). 
The administrator configures the SIP third-party phone with the user; for example, swhite, in the Digest 
User field of Phone Configuration window (see Configuring Cisco Unified IP Phones, page 87-4).
Note You can assign each end user ID to only one third-party phone (in the Digest User field of the Phone 
Configuration window). If the same end user ID is assigned as the Digest User for multiple phones, the 
third-party phones to which they are assigned will not successfully register.

Appendix B      Configuring Non-Cisco Phones That Are Running SIP
    Configuration Differences for Phones That Are Running SIP
Third-Party Phones That Are Running SIP and TFTP
Third-party phones that are running SIP do not get configured by using the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager TFTP server. The customer configures them by using the native phone 
configuration mechanism (usually a web page or tftp file). The customer must keep the device and line 
configuration in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database synchronized with the native 
phone configuration (for example, extension 1002 on the phone and 1002 in Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager). Additionally, if the directory number of a line is changed, ensure that it gets 
changed in both Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration and in the native phone 
configuration mechanism.
Enabling Digest Authentication for Third-Party Phones That Are Running SIP
To enable digest authentication for third-party phones that are running SIP, the administrator must create 
a Phone Security Profile. (See Phone Security Profile Configuration in the Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Administration Guide.) On the Phone Security Profile Configuration window, 
check the Enable Digest Authentication check box. After the security profile is configured, the 
administrator must assign that security profile to the phone that is running SIP by using the Phone 
Configuration window. If this check box is not checked, Cisco Unified Communications Manager will 
use digest authentication for purposes of identifying the phone by the end user ID, and it will not verify 
the digest password. If the check box is checked, Cisco Unified Communications Manager will verify 
the password.
Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support Transport Layer Security (TLS) from 
third-party phones that are running SIP.
DTMF Reception
To require DTMF reception, check the Require DTMF Reception check box that displays on the Phone 
Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Licensing for Third-Party Phones That Are Running SIP
Licensing of third-party phones that are running SIP enforces the following limitations:
   Third-party SIP Device (Basic)Video calls do not get supported. Video enforcement occurs as 
part of the offer/answer process. If video-related media is provided as part of an offer or answer from 
a SIP device that is not permitted to negotiate video, only the non-video-related parts of the call get 
extended to the destination party. Similarly, a SIP endpoint that is not permitted to negotiate media 
will not receive any video-related media in the SDP that is sent from Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager.
   Third-party SIP Device (Advanced) and (Basic)Cisco-specific SIP extensions do not get 
supported. Some Cisco-specific SIP extensions that are not supported include service URIs, header 
extensions, dialog subscriptions, and remote call control proprietary mime types. Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager will reject any request from a phone that is running SIP that is not 
permitted to use an advanced feature that uses a service request URI (such as Call Pickup URI, Meet

Me Service URI). The SIP profile specifies service URIs. The profile gets assigned to SIP devices. 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager will block features that require the use of Cisco-specific 
SIP extensions. 
Note Ensure that any wireless third-party SIP client or device is configured as a Third-Party SIP Device 
(Advanced) in conformance with Cisco Unified Communications Manager licensing policy.
For more information about Cisco SIP Extensions, contact your Cisco representative.
Migrating fromCisco Unified Communications Manager 
Release 5.0 to Release 7.0(1)
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 5.1(1) and above, certain characteristics for Basic 
and Advanced Third-Party phones that are running SIP changed. These characteristics include changes 
to the Maximum Number of Calls per Device, Default Maximum number of calls per DN, and Default 
Busy Trigger per DN fields that display on the Directory Number Configuration window in Cisco

For users that have third-party phones that are running SIP that are configured on any version of release 
5.0 that are migrating/upgrading to release 6.0(1) or above, be aware that, after the upgrade, these 
devices retain their release 5.0 configured values. However, if users need to make changes to DN 
configuration values, users must change Maximum Number of Calls and Default Busy Trigger values on 
each DN.

    Configuration Checklist for Third-Party Phones That Are Running SIP
For basic third-party phones that are running SIP, only one line value needs to be modified. However, 
for advanced third-party phones that are running SIP, users potentially must disassociate lines on the 
device before they can make any DN-related configuration changes. This situation potentially can 
happen if more than four lines are configured. An example scenario follows:
   Advanced phone configured with 6 lines with Maximum number of calls = 4 and Busy Trigger = 2 
for each line.
   After upgrade to release 6.1, ensure maximum number of calls on the device is reduced to 16 or 
below before any DN changes. The current value on this phone equals 24 (6 lines * 4). The device 
essentially exists in a negative zone (16-24).
   User would disassociate two lines from the device. 
   After the user disassociates those lines from the device, you can modify the DN characteristics for 
the remaining four lines by setting Maximum Number of Calls and Busy Trigger to an appropriate 
value.
   User reassociates the disassociated lines.
Configuration Checklist for Third-Party Phones That Are 
Running SIP
Table B-4 provides steps to manually configure a third-party phone that is running SIP by using Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Table B-4 Configuration Checklist for Third-Party Phone That Is Running SIP  
Configuration Steps Procedures and Related Topics
Step 1 Gather the following information about the phone:
   MAC address
   Physical location of the phone
   Cisco Unified Communications Manager user to associate 
with the phone
   Partition, calling search space, and location information, if 
used
   Number of lines and associated DNs to assign to the phone
Step 2 Determine whether sufficient Device License Units are available. 
If not, purchase and install additional Device License Units. 
Third-Party SIP Devices (Basic) and (Advanced) consume three 
and six Device License Units each, respectively.
Calculating License Units, page 30-1
Obtaining a License File, page 31-2
Step 3 Configure the end user that will be the Digest User.
Note If the third-party phone that is running SIP does not 
support an authorization ID (digest user), create a user 
with a user ID that matches the DN of the third-party 
phone. For example, create an end user named 1000 and 
create a DN of 1000 for the phone. Assign this user to the 
phone (see Step 9).

   SIP Profile Configuration, page 97-1
   End User Configuration, page 110-1
   Cisco Unified IP Phones, Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide
Step 4 Configure the SIP Profile or use the default profile. The SIP 
Profile gets added to the phone that is running SIP by using the 
Phone Configuration window.
Note Third-party phones that are running SIP use only the SIP 
Profile Information section of the SIP Profile 
Configuration window.
Configuring SIP Profiles, page 97-2
Configuring Cisco Unified IP Phones, 
page 87-4
Step 5 Configure the Phone Security Profile. To use digest 
authentication, you must configure a new phone security profile. 
If you use one of the standard, nonsecure SIP profiles that are 
provided for auto-registration, you cannot enable digest 
authentication.
Enabling Digest Authentication for 
Third-Party Phones That Are Running SIP, 
page B-3
Phone Security Profile Configuration, Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager Security 
Guide
Step 6 Add and configure the third-party phone that is running SIP by 
choosing Third-party SIP Device (Advanced) or (Basic) from the 
Add a New Phone Configuration window.
Note Third-party SIP Device (Basic) supports one line and 
consumes three license units, and Third-party SIP Device 
(Advanced) supports up to eight lines and video and 
consumes six license units.
Configuring Cisco Unified IP Phones, 
page 87-4
Step 7 Add and configure lines (DNs) on the phone. Directory Number Configuration, page 61-1
Step 8 In the End User Configuration window, associate the third-party 
phone that is running SIP with the user by using Device 
Association and choosing the phone that is running SIP.
Associating Devices to an End User, 
page 110-15
Step 9 In the Digest User field of the Phone Configuration window, 
choose the end user that you created in Step 3.
Phone Configuration Settings, page 87-8
Step 10 Provide power, install, verify network connectivity, and configure 
network settings for the third-party phone that is running SIP.
Refer to the administration guide that was 
provided with your phone that is running SIP.
Step 11 Make calls with the third-party phone that is running SIP. Refer to the user guide that came with your 
third-party phone that is running SIP.
