Adding or Updating SIP Dial Rules Causes Cisco TFTP Service To Rebuild All Phone Configuration Files
When you add or update a SIP dial rule in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, be aware that the Cisco TFTP service rebuilds all phone configuration files, which may cause CPU to spike on the server where the Cisco TFTP service runs, especially if you have a large system with many phones. To ensure that CPU does not spike, add or update the SIP dial rule during a maintenance window or temporarily stop the Cisco TFTP service in Cisco Unified Serviceability before you make the configuration change. If you stop the Cisco TFTP service, remember to restart the service in Cisco Unified Serviceability after you add or update the SIP dial rule.
CSCta10219 Unicast Music on Hold May Not Play
After you invoke music on hold (MOH) several times, unicast MOH may not play. MOH can be invoked by using hold, transfer, conference, park, and so on.
Workaround - Option 1
Upgrade to a version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager that contains a fix for this issue.
Workaround - Option 2
Configure the MOH servers to send out multicast MOH and unicast MOH on the same MOH resources.
Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Be aware that no network (router) changes to forward multicast MOH packets are required if Media Resource Groups (MRG) are not configured to enable multicast MOH.
Note
The MOH servers send the multicast streams to the local router; but, if the rounter is not configured to forward the MOH multicast packets, impact to the LAN traffic will be minimal. By default, routers do not forward multicast MOH packets.
Alerts During Upgrades to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 6.1(4)
During an upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition, users may experience following alerts in the Cisco Unified Real-Time Monitoring Tool. Users may disregard these alerts during the upgrade process:

•
•
Cisco Unified JTAPI
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Releases 6.x and 5.x, if an application tries to conference two or more addresses on the same terminal, based on the order of participants in the request, an application may receive CiscoJtapiException.CONFERENCE_INVALID_PARTICIPANT for the conference request. The conference might then start successfully with some of the participants. In such cases, no guarantees exist about which application joins the conference. The system creates the conference with only one of the addresses on a terminal. It ignores the other addresses.
This situation occurs in the following scenarios.
Scenario 1
Assume that B1 and B2 represent different addresses on the same terminal, TB.
A -> B1 - GC1
A -> B2 - GC2
A -> C - GC3
Assume that an application issues a conference request GC1.conference(GC2,GC3).
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Releases 6.x and 5.x, the application receives CiscoJtapiException.CONFERENCE_INVALID_PARTICIPANT; however, A, B1, and C join into conference, and the following normal set of events in a conference scenario occur:
GC1 CiscoConferenceStartEvGC2 TermConnDroppedEv TBGC2 CallCtlTermConnDroppedEv TBGC2 ConnDisconnectedEv B1GC2 CallCtlConnDisconnectedEv B1GC1 CallCtlTermConnTalkingEv TBGC2 CiscoCallChangedEvGC1 ConnCreatedEv CGC1 ConnConnectedEv CGC1 CallCtlConnEstablishedEv CGC1 TermConnCreatedEv TCGC1 TermConnActiveEv TCGC1 CallCtlTermConnTalkingEv TCGC2 TermConnDroppedEv TCGC2 CallCtlTermConnDroppedEv TCGC2 ConnDisconnectedEv CGC2 CallCtlConnDisconnectedEv CGC2 CallInvalidEvGC1 CiscoConferenceEndEvScenario 2
Assume that B1 and B2 represent different addresses on the same terminal, TB.
A -> B1 - GC1
A -> B2 - GC2
A -> C - GC3
Assume that an application issues a conference request GC3.conference(GC1,GC2).
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.x, the application does not receive an exception, and the request processes successfully. A, C, and B1 join the conference with the regular set of conference events.
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Releases 5.x and 6.x, the application receives CiscoJtapiException.CONFERENCE_INVALID_PARTICIPANT; however, A, C, B1 join conference, and the normal set of conference events occurs.
SFTP Server Products
Cisco allows you to use any SFTP server product with applications that require SFTP access but recommends SFTP products that have been certified with Cisco through the Cisco Technology Developer Partner program (CTDP). CTDP partners, such as GlobalSCAPE, certify their products with specified version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For information on which vendors have certified their products with your version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, refer to http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/ctdp/Search.pl. For information on using GlobalSCAPE with supported Cisco Unified Communications versions, refer to http://www.globalscape.com/gsftps/cisco.aspx. Cisco uses the following servers for internal testing. You may use one of the servers, but you must contact the vendor for support:

CSCsu08609 Unanswered Conference Call or Blind Transfer Over QSIG Trunk Goes to Third-Party Voice Messaging System Instead of Called Party
A blind transfer or an unanswered conference call that is forwarded to an Avaya system over a QSIG PRI trunk causes the call to go to the third-party voice messaging system instead of the called party. No workaround exists for this issue.
Use Microsoft Outlook to Receive Cisco Unified Communications Manager Licenses
When you obtain a license file from the Product License Registration window on www.cisco.com, the system sends the license file(s) to you via e-mail by using the e-mail ID that you provided. When you receive license files from e-mail clients other than Microsoft Outlook, for example, Microsoft Entourage, additional characters may exist in the license file, which can prevent you from being able to upload the license file in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To avoid this issue, Cisco recommends that you use Microsoft Outlook when you receive license files for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
If you obtained a license file with additional characters in it, perform the following procedure:

CSCsr80287 Cisco CallManager Service Stops After Upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x
After you upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.X from a compatible Cisco Unified CM 5.X release, the Cisco CallManager service does not automatically run, even though Cisco Unified Serviceability shows that the Cisco CallManager service is activated.
Immediately after you complete the upgrade, upload the software feature license that is required for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.X in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration and restart the Cisco CallManager service in Cisco Unified Serviceability. Until you perform these tasks, devices fail to register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
For more information on licensing, refer to the licensing chapters in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Important Information About Delete Transaction by Using Custom File in BAT
Do not use the insert or export transaction files that are created with bat.xlt for the delete transaction. Instead, you must create a custom file with the details of the records that need to be deleted. Use only this file for the delete transaction. In this custom delete file, you do not need a header, and you can enter values for name, description, or user.
Partition Size Limitations When You Upgrade from a 5.x Release to a 6.x Release
Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.x releases create disk partitions of a fixed size. If you install a 5.x release on a server with more disk space than is required by the fixed partitions, the partitions still get created at the fixed size.
When you upgrade such a server from a 5.x release to a 6.x release, the disk partitions remain at the fixed size. If you perform a fresh installation of a 6.x release, the disk partitions get created as percentages of the available disk space, so your server will use all the available disk space effectively.
Note
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Does Not Support Recovery of Administration or Security Passwords
Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support recovery of administration or security passwords. If you lose these passwords, you must reset the passwords, as described in the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide.
The Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide calls the section "Recovering the Administrator or Security Passwords" instead of "Resetting the Administrator or Security Passwords." Access the "Recovering the Administrator or Security Passwords" section to reset the passwords.
Clarification for Call Park Configuration
Consider the following information when you configure Call Park:
Call Park numbers cannot overlap between Cisco Unified CM servers. Ensure that each Cisco Unified CM server has its own unique number range.
Call Park numbers may have an associated partition that restricts access to the Call Park numbers and prevents retrieval of parked calls. If partitions are used to restrict access to Call Park numbers, you must define a unique call park number or range of call park extension numbers for each partition in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
When the end user invokes Call Park, Cisco Unified Communications Manager attempts to find an available Call Park number from a Call Park partition that is currently accessible via the calling search space for the party that invoked Call Park.
Viewing Privileges for Roles in Cisco Unified CM Administration
The Role Configuration window in Cisco Unified CM Administration displays the privileges for each standard role. To access the Role Configuration window, find the role by choosing User Management > Role; when the Find and List Roles window displays, click Find. Click the link for the standard role that you want to view. After the Role Configuration window displays, you can view the privileges in the Resource Access Information pane.
TAPS Name Change in Bulk Administration Tool
Documentation refers to the Tool for Auto-Registered Phone Support (TAPS) as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Register Phone Tool in the Online Help for Bulk Administration. All references to 'Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Register Phone Tool' in the Bulk Administration Tool Online Help should be read as 'Tool for Auto-Registered Phone Support (TAPS)'. This makes the terminology compliant with the Bulk Administration user interface.
For More Information
For information on configuring additional features in Bulk Administration Tool, refer to the BAT documentation for Cisco Unified CM.
Basic Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Integration
When Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(4) runs on an MCS 7825H2 or MCS 7835H2, basic integration to the UPS model APC SmartUPS 1500VA USB and APC 750VA XL USB gets supported. Integration occurs via a single point-to-point Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection. Serial and SNMP connectivity to UPS does not get supported, and the USB connection must be point-to-point (in other words, no USB hubs). Single- and dual-USB UPS models get supported. The feature activates automatically during bootup if a connected UPS gets detected.
Alternatively, on MCS-7835H2, you can execute the show ups CLI command that shows the current status of the USB-connected APC smart-UPS device and starts the monitoring service if it is not already started.
On supported servers, the CLI command also displays detected hardware, detected versions, current power draw, remaining battery runtime, and other relevant status information.
When the feature is activated, graceful shutdown will commence as soon as the low battery threshold is reached. Resumption or fluctuation of power will not interrupt or abort the shutdown.
For unsupported Cisco Unified Communications Manager releases, MCS models and/or UPS vendor/make/models, you can cause an external script to monitor the UPS. When low battery gets detected, you can log on to Cisco Unified Communications Manager by using Secure Shell (SSH), access the CLI, and execute the utils system shutdown command.
Strict Version Checking
Disaster Recovery System adheres to strict version checking and allows restore only between matching versions of Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Note
Consider the following examples of restore to understand strict version checking:
In essence, the product version needs to match, end-to-end, for the Disaster Recovery System to run a successful Cisco Unified Communications Manager database restore.
Serviceability Not Always Accessible from OS Administration
In some scenarios, you cannot access Cisco Unified Serviceability from Cisco Unified OS Administration. The window displays a "Loading, please wait" message indefinitely.
If the redirect fails, log out from Cisco Unified OS Administration, select Cisco Unified Serviceability from the navigation menu, and log in to Cisco Unified Serviceability.
Voice Mailbox Mask Interacts with Diversion Header
When a call gets redirected from a DN to a voice-messaging server/service that is integrated with Unified CM by 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. Be aware that this behavior is expected because the Unified CM server uses the diversion header to choose a mailbox.
CTL Client 5.0 Plug-In Installation Note
If you are upgrading to the CTL Client 5.0 plug-in, you first need to remove eToken Run Time Environment 3.00 by performing the following steps:
Procedure
Step 1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301Step 2
Step 3

Step 5
Best Practices for Assigning Roles to Serviceability Administrators
Cisco recommends that you configure application users, rather than end users, to access remote nodes to perform such tasks as starting and stopping services. Starting and stopping services requires that the Standard Serviceability Administration and Standard RealtimeAndTraceCollection roles be assigned.
For Serviceability, the Administrator That Is Created During Installation Must Not Be Removed
Removing the Administrator that is created during installation or upgrade can cause communication with remote nodes via Serviceability Administration to fail.
Connecting to Third-Party Voice Messaging Systems
Administrators can connect third-party voice-messaging systems to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Ensure the voice-messaging system has a simplified message desk interface (SMDI) that is accessible with a null-modem EIA/TIA-232 cable (and an available serial port). To connect the EIA/TIA-232 cable to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.0 or later, use a Cisco certified serial-to-USB adapter with the part number USB-SERIAL-CA=.
Database Replication When You Revert to an Older Product Release
If you revert the servers in a cluster to run an older product release, you must manually reset database replication within the cluster. To reset database replication after you revert all the cluster servers to the older product release, enter the CLI command utils dbreplication reset all on the publisher server.
When you switch versions by using Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration or the CLI, you get a message that reminds you about the requirement to reset database replication if you are reverting to an older product release. The caveats CSCsl57629 and CSCsl57655 also document this behavior.
For information about the utils dbreplication clusterreset, utils dbreplication dropadmindb, and utils dbreplication forcedatasyncsub commands, see the Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions Release 7.0(1) document at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/cli_ref/7_0_1/cli_ref.html.
User Account Control Pop-up Window Displays During Installation of RTMT
When you install RTMT on the Microsoft Vista platform, the system displays the User Account Control pop-up window to indicate that an unidentified program wants access to your computer. This occurs because of a limitation in the InstallAnywhere software. This one-time pop-up displays only when you are installing RTMT. To continue, select Allow.
CiscoTSP Limitations on Windows Vista Platform
Always perform the first-time installation of the CiscoTSP and Cisco Unified Communications Manager TSP Wave Driver on a Vista machine as a fresh install.
If secure connection to Cisco Unified Communications Manager is to be used, turn off the Windows firewall.
If Cisco Unified Communications Manager TSP Wave Driver is used for inbound audio streaming, turn off the Windows firewall.
If Cisco Unified Communications Manager TSP Wave Driver is used for audio streaming, disable all other devices in the "Sound, video and game controllers" group.
Time Required for Disk Mirroring
Disk mirroring on server model 7825 I3 with 160 GB SATA disk drives takes approximately 3 hours.
Disk mirroring on server model 7828 I3 with 250 GB SATA disk drives takes approximately 4 hours.
Cisco Unified Mobility Supports Nine Locales
Cisco Unified Mobility (Mobile Connect and Mobile Voice Access) support a maximum of nine locales, so Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration blocks you from configuring 10 or more locales for Cisco Unified Mobility. In the Mobility Configuration window, more than nine locales can display in the Available Locales pane if they are installed for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, but you can only save nine locales in the Selected Locales pane. If you attempt to configure more than nine locales for Cisco Unified Mobility, the following message displays: "Update failed. Check constraint (informix.cc_ivruserlocale_orderindex) failed."
Each Remote Destination Supports a Maximum of Two Active Calls
For Cisco Unified Mobility, each remote destination supports a maximum of two active calls via Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Using the enterprise feature access directory number (DID number) to transfer or conference with DTMF counts as one call. When a Cisco Unified Mobility user receives a call while the user has two active calls for the remote destination or while the user is using DTMF to transfer/conference a call from the remote destination, the received call does not reach the remote destination and instead goes to the enterprise voice mail; that is, if Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) is configured or if the call is not answered on a shared line.
Changes to Cisco Extension Mobility After Upgrade
If you chose a user-created profile from the Log Out Profile drop-down list on the Phone Configuration window and checked the Enable Extension Mobility check box, the settings in that profile become the permanent settings on the phone after an upgrade from Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x or Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.x to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(1a).
RTMT Requirement When Cisco Unified Communications Manager Is Upgraded
If you are running the Cisco Unified Communications Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) client and monitoring performance counters during a Cisco Unified Communications Manager upgrade, the performance counters will not update during and after the upgrade. To continue monitoring performance counters accurately after the upgrade completes, you must either reload the RTMT profile or restart the RTMT client.
Serviceability Session Timeout is Not Graceful
When a session has been idle for more than 30 minutes, the Cisco Unified Serviceability user interface allows you to make changes before it indicates that the session timed out and redirects you to the login window. After you log in again, you may need to repeat those changes. This behavior occurs in the Alarm, Trace, Service Activation, Control Center, and SNMP windows.
Workaround
If you know that the session has been idle for more than 30 minutes, log out by using the Logout button before making any changes in the user interface.

Serviceability Limitations When You Modify the IP Address
When you modify the IP Address field, you cannot access the RTMT profiles, custom counters, custom alerts, and generic queries for Trace & Log Collection Tool (TLC) for that server.
You should manually remove any RTMT profiles, custom counters, custom alerts, and generic queries for Trace and Log Collection Tool (TLC) that were set for the old IP Address. When you modify the IP Address field, you will need to re-create the RTMT profile, custom counters, custom alerts, and generic queries for TLC the next time that you log in to the server on RTMT.
Cisco AMC Service includes two user-configurable service parameters, Primary Collector and Failover Collector. These service parameters use Host Name/IP Address to designate the primary and failover AMC server. If you change the IP address of the AMC primary collector or failover collector, you should check these service parameters and update them accordingly.
Cisco Serviceability Reporter service includes one user-configurable service parameter, RTMT Reporter Designated Node. This service parameter uses Host Name/IP Address to designate the node on which RTMTReporter runs. If you changed the IP address of the RTMT Reporter Designated Node, you should check this service parameter and update it accordingly.
SIP Network/IP Address Field that is Required for SIP Fallback to SRST Gateway
Although Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration does not list the SIP Network/IP Address field as a required setting, you must configure the SIP Network/IP Address field and the SIP Port field in the SRST Reference Configuration window for a SIP device to fall back to the SRST-enabled gateway. For more information on these fields and SRST references, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Network Time Protocol Version 4
To avoid potential compatibility, accuracy, and network jitter problems, the external NTP servers that you specify for the primary node should be NTP v4 (version 4).

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Applications
This section contains information on the following Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration features and applications:
•
IPMA Restart
As of Release 6.1(4), if the system administrator changes a user username, preferred location, or password (assistants), that user does not get logged off. For user-ID changes, neither the manager nor his or her assistant gets logged off when that manager user ID is changed; however, an assistant gets logged off the assistant phone and the Assistant Console when that assistant user ID is changed.
Redirected Dialed Number Identification Service and Diversion Header
Release 6.1(4) adds the Redirected Dialed Number Identification Service (RDNIS) and diversion header capability for certain calls that use the Cisco Unified Mobility Mobile Connect feature.
The RDNIS/diversion header for Mobile Connect enhances this Cisco Unified Mobility feature to include the RDNIS or diversion header information on the forked call to the mobile device. Service providers and customers use the RDNIS for correct billing of end users who make Cisco Unified Mobility Mobile Connect calls.
For Mobile Connect calls, the Service Providers use the RDNIS/diversion header to authorize and allow calls to originate from the enterprise, even if the caller ID does not belong to the enterprise Direct Inward Dial (DID) range.
Example Use Case
Consider a user that has the following setup:
Desk phone number specifies 89012345.
Enterprise number specifies 4089012345.
Remote destination number specifies 4088810001.
User gets a call on desk phone number (89012345) that causes the remote destination (4088810001) to ring as well.
If the user gets a call from a nonenterprise number (5101234567) on the enterprise number (4089012345), the user desk phone (89012345) rings, and the call gets extended to the remote destination (4088810001) as well.
Prior to the implementation of the RDNIS/diversion header capability, the fields populated as follows:
Calling Party Number (From header in case of SIP): 5101234567
Called Party Number (To header in case of SIP): 4088810001
After implementation of the RDNIS/diversion header capability, the Calling Party Number and Called Party Number fields populate as before, but the following additional field gets populated as specified:
Redirect Party Number (Diversion Header in case of SIP): 4089012345
Thus, the RDNIS/diversion header specifies the enterprise number that is associated with the remote destination.
Configuration in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
To enable the RDNIS/diversion header capability for Mobile Connect calls, ensure the following configuration takes place in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration:
All gateways and trunks must specify that the Redirecting Number IE Delivery — Outbound check box gets checked.
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can find this check box by following the following menu paths:
For H.323 and MGCP gateways, execute Device > Gateway and find the gateway that you need to configure. In the Call Routing Information - Outbound calls pane, ensure that the Redirecting Number IE Delivery - Outbound check box gets checked. For T1/E1 gateways, check the Redirecting Number IE Delivery - Outbound check box in the PRI Protocol Type Information pane.

Tip
Understanding the Fixed-in Version and the Integrated-in Fields in the Online Defect Record
When you open the online record for a defect, you may see data in the "First Fixed-in Version" or "Integrated-in" fields. The information that displays in these fields identifies the list of Cisco Unified Communications Manager interim versions in which the defect was fixed. These interim versions then get integrated into Cisco Unified Communications Manager releases.
Some more clearly defined versions include identification for Engineering Specials (ES) or Service Releases (SR); for example 03.3(04)ES29 and 04.0(02a)SR1. However, the version information that displays for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager maintenance releases may not be as clearly identified.
The following examples show how you can decode the maintenance release interim version information. These examples show you the format of the interim version along with the corresponding Cisco Unified Communications Manager release that includes that interim version. You can use these examples as guidance to better understand the presentation of information in these fields.

Disk Space Before Upgrading
Before you upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager from supported appliance releases, make sure that you have enough disk space on the common partition to perform the upgrade. To ensure that you have enough disk space, determine the size of the ISO file on your DVD or on Cisco.com. If you are upgrading from a local source (DVD), you need the same amount of disk space as the size of the ISO file. If you are upgrading from a network source, you need twice the amount of disk space as the size of the combined ISO file.
To verify the disk space on the common partition, do one of the following tasks:
•
•
•
If you do not have enough disk space, use Cisco Unified Real-Time Monitoring Tool to collect core and trace files and delete them from the server. For more information on collecting files, refer to the Cisco Unified Real-Time Monitoring Tool Administration Guide.
You can also use the log partition monitoring service or the command line interface (CLI) to delete files on your server; however, Cisco does not recommend using these tools to delete files during regular business hours, as they can impact system performance. For more information on configuring log partition monitoring, see the Cisco Unified Real-Time Monitoring Tool Administration Guide. For more information on the CLI, see the Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions.

The route plan report allows you to view either a partial or full list and to go directly to the associated configuration windows by clicking the entry in the Pattern/Directory Number, Partition, or Route Detail columns of the report.
End User Chapter Includes Incorrect Information for Manager User ID Field
The "End User Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide incorrectly describes the Manager User ID field.
Incorrect Description
For the Manager User ID field, enter the user ID of the end user manager ID. The manager user ID that you enter must already exist in the directory as an end user.
Correct Description
For the Manager User ID field, enter the user ID of the end user manager ID..Device Pool Chapter Contains Incomplete Description for Device Pool Name Field
The "Device Pool Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide does not contain the supported characters that you can enter in the Device Pool Name field. In this field, you can enter alphanumeric characters, period (.), hyphen (-), underscore (_), or a blank space. You can enter up to 50 characters.
Credential Policy Configuration Settings Display Description is Incorrect
The Credential Policy Configuration Settings section of the User Management Chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide contains an incorrect description of the Display field. The correct information follows:
Specify the credential policy name. Enter up to 64 characters, except for quotation marks (""). Do not enter tab.
Incorrect Information Exists in the Meet-Me Number/Pattern Configuration
The Description field in the Meet-Me Number/Pattern Configuration Settings table incorrectly states that you can enter up to 30 alphanumeric characters as a description of the meet-me number/pattern.
The description should state that you can enter up to 50 characters in the description field.
Considerations for LDAP Port Configuration
Tip
When you configure the LDAP Port field in the LDAP Authentication window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you specify the port number that the corporate directory uses to receive LDAP requests. How your corporate directory is configured determines which port number to enter in this field. For example, before you configure the LDAP Port field, determine whether your LDAP server acts as a Global Catalog server and whether your configuration requires LDAP over SSL. Consider entering one of the following port numbers:
Tip
LDAP Port for When the LDAP Server is not a Global Catalog Server
•
•
LDAP Port for When the LDAP Server is a Global Catalog Server
•
•
Software Feature License
When you upgrade from any supported release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager to Release 6.1(3x), you must download and install a software feature license to activate the new features. The Cisco Unified Communication Administration Guide indicates that you must install a software feature license only if you are upgrading from 5.x or 6.x releases. You also need a license if you are upgrading from supported 4.x releases. For instructions about how to obtain and install a software feature license, see the "License File Upload" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Incorrect Description for User ID Field in Application User Window
The "Application User Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide incorrectly states that you can enter quotation marks (") in the User ID field in the Application User Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. In the User ID field, you can enter the following characters: alphanumeric (a-zA-Z0-9), dash(-), underscore(_), or space( ).
Logging in to the Web Interface When the Firewall is Disabled
When the firewall is disabled, you must enter the URL of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server in the following format to log in to the web interface:
https://server:8443/where server specifies the servername or IP address of the server.
Note
Credential Policy Settings
The Credential Policy Configuration Settings (table) in the "Credential Policy" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide requires the following changes:
•
•
You cannot delete the server where you install Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition. Disregard all information on deleting a server in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition and Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition.
Unclear Documentation on Called Party Name Presentation
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide provides unclear information about called party name presentation.
The Cisco Unified Communications System Guide states that, when the Always Display Original Dialed Number service parameter is set to True, the originating phone displays only the dialed digits for the duration of the call. To clarify the documentation, if you set the Cisco CallManager service parameter to True, the name of the called party does not display on the phone of the calling party.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide does not state that setting the Always Display Original Dialed Number service parameter to True impacts the configuration for the Alerting Name field. If you set the service parameter to True, the alerting name does not display on the calling phone; only the original dialed number displays.
Misleading Documentation About Creating Cisco Unity and Cisco Unity Connection Voice Mailboxes
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide contains misleading information about creating Cisco Unity and Cisco Unity Connection voice mailboxes. Consider the following information when you configure the voice mailboxes:
•
•
Barge Visual Indicator
The "Cisco Unified IP Phone Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide incorrectly states that a spinning circle on the phone display indicates that a barge is taking place. Only an audible indicator occurs.
Adding an Administrator User to Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection
The "Application User" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide incorrectly states that you can use the Create Cisco Unity Application User link in the Related Links drop-down list box to create an application user voice mailbox in Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection. You use this link to add an administrator user to Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection.
1.
Next Steps
If you want to associate devices with this application user, continue with the "Associating Devices to an Application User" procedure.
To manage credentials for this application user, continue with the "Managing Application User Credential Information" procedure.
To add this administrator user to Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection, continue with the procedure in "Adding an Administrator User to Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection" section.
2.
Adding an Administrator User to Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection
The Create Cisco Unity Application User link on the Application Configuration window allows you to add this user as an administrator user to Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection. With this method, you configure the application user in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration; then, configure any additional settings for the user in Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection Administration
You can also use the import tool in Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection to import application users as administrative users. To import users, refer to the Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection documentation. (The system does not support the import feature for Cisco Unity Connection 1.1 or 1.2.)
The Create Cisco Unity User link displays only if the Cisco Unity administrator installed and configured the appropriate software. Refer to the applicable Cisco Unified Communications Manager Integration Guide for Cisco Unity or the applicable Cisco Unified Communications Manager SCCP Integration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you have defined an appropriate template for the user that you plan to push to Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection. For Connection users, refer to the applicable User Moves, Adds, and Changes Guide for Cisco Unity Connection. For Cisco Unity users, refer to the Cisco Unity System Administration Guide.
Procedure
Step 1
Step 2

Step 4
Step 5
The administrator account gets created in Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection. The link in Related Links changes to Edit Cisco Unity User in the Application User Configuration window. You can now view the user that you created in Cisco Unity Administration or Cisco Unity Connection Administration.
Note
Note
Documentation Does Not Include the Latest List of Supported Phone Models
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide may not contain the latest list of supported Cisco Unified IP Phones. To identify whether the phone supports a feature, refer to the phone documentation that supports this version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the phone model.
Upgrade Procedure Contains Incorrect Information
In the Upgrading from Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x Releases section of the Cisco Unified Communications Administration Guide, the procedure indicates that a pop-up window displays when the user chooses an existing license file and chooses the View File button. The license actually displays in the main window after the window refreshes.
Application Server Configuration is Not Required for Cisco Unity Connection 2.x
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide suggests that you must configure a Cisco Unity Connection 2.x server in the Application Server Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to maintain an association with the Cisco Unity Connection 2.x server. In fact, configuring a Cisco Unity Connection 2.x server in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration creates a blank list of user templates for Cisco Unity Connection in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Instead of configuring the application server in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, create an AXL connection via Unity Connection 2.x, as described in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection. Creating the AXL connection via Cisco Unity Connection 2.x pushes a list of valid user templates for Cisco Unity Connection 2.x to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Incorrect Documentation Exists on How to Delete Parameter for Phone Service
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide incorrectly states how to delete a service parameter in the IP Phone Services Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To delete a parameter for an IP phone service, click the Delete Parameter button; after the deletion message displays, click OK.
To delete an IP phone service, click the Delete button in the IP Phone Services Configuration window or check the IP phone service check box in the Find and List Phone Services window and click Delete Selected.
Default Device Profile Chapter Incorrectly Includes Expansion Module Settings
The "Default Device Profile" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide includes descriptions for the following settings, which you cannot configure in the Default Device Profile Configuration window in Cisco Unified CM Administration: Module 1 and Module 2. Ignore these descriptions in this chapter.
Hunt Pilot Chapter Needs Clarification of Maximum Hunt Timer Setting
The "Hunt Pilot Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide provides the following description for the Maximum Hunt Timer setting:
Enter a value (in seconds) that specifies the maximum time for hunting. Valid values specify 1 to 3600. The default value specifies 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
This timer cancels if either a hunt member answers the call or if the hunt list gets exhausted before the timer expires. If you do not specify a value for this timer, hunting continues until a hunt member answers or hunting exhausts. If neither event takes place, hunting continues for 30 minutes, after which the call gets taken for final treatment.
Tip
In addition, the description should state that Cisco Unified CM only uses the configuration for the Maximum Hunt Timer setting if you configure the Hunt Forward settings in the Hunt Pilot Configuration window.
Annunciator Chapter Contains Incorrect Information on Description Field
The "Annunciator Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide states that you can configure up to 54 characters in the Description field. Actually, you can configure up to 128 characters.
Gateway Configuration Chapter Contains Incorrect Information on Domain Name Field
The "Gateway Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide incorrectly states that you can enter 50 characters in the Domain Name field in the MGCP gateway configuration window. Actually, you can enter up to 64 characters in the Domain Name field for MGCP gateways.
AAR Group Chapter Includes Incorrect Description for Dial Prefix Field
The "Automated Alternate Routing Group Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide includes incorrect entries for the Dial Prefix field.
Incorrect Information
Dial Prefix field—Enter the prefix characters and symbols to use for automated alternate routing within this AAR group. Valid entries include the following digits: [ ^ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - ] + ? ! X * # . @
Correct Information
Dial Prefix field—Enter the prefix digits to use for automated alternate routing within this AAR group. Valid entries include numeric characters (0-9), alpha characters (A-D), asterisk (*), and pound (#).
Dual Phone Mode Support
The "Cisco Unified IP Phone Configuration" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide omitted this information.
To support Mobile Connect and Mobile Voice Access for dual-mode phones, the following field displays on the Phone Configuration window:
Mobility User ID (dual-mode phones only) - From the drop-down list box, choose the user ID of the person to whom this dual-mode phone is assigned.

The "License File Upload" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for Release 6.1(4) does not describe that there is an alternate method to obtain a product license. In this method, the user generates the product license from Data Migration Assistant (DMA). Data Migration Assistant User Guide Release 6.1(3x) describes how to use this method to generate the file.
Upgrading to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.1(3) from Cisco Unified Communications Manager 4.x Releases describes how to upload the file to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.1(4).
Uploading a License File
The Uploading a License File section of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide does not instruct administrators to restart the Cisco CallManager service after uploading the license file. Administrators must restart the service for the license changes to take effect.
Enterprise Parameters and Service Parameters Chapters Omit Information on Set to Default Button
The "Enterprise Parameters Configuration" and the "Service Parameters Configuration" chapters in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide do not contain information on the Set to Default button. Clicking the Set to Default button in either the Enterprise Parameters Configuration window or Service Parameter Configuration window updates all parameters to the suggested value, which is the default that displays on the right side of the parameter. If a parameter does not have a suggested value, Cisco Unified CM does not update the value when you click the Set to Default button; for example, the Phone URL Parameters in the Enterprise Parameters Configuration window do not display a suggested value, so clicking the Set to Default button does not change the parameter that you configured.
A warning message displays after you click the Set to Default button. If you click OK in the dialog box, Cisco Unified CM updates all parameters in the configuration window to the suggested value; that is, if the parameter has a suggested value.
Information About Using an SRV Destination Port for the CUP Publish Trunk Service Parameter
The "Service Parameters Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide omits the following information.
You can configure a SIP trunk to use a DNS SRV port on a Cisco Unified Presence server as a destination. If you use a SIP trunk with a DNS SRV destination to configure the CUP Publish Trunk service parameter and then modify the DNS record, you must restart all devices (phones) that previously published, so they point to the correct Cisco Unified Presence server destination.
To configure the CUP Publish Trunk parameter, navigate to System Service Parameters and choose Cisco CallManager service for the server that you want to configure.
For an overview of configuring Cisco Unified Presence with Cisco Unified CM, see "Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Presence High-Level Architecture Overview" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Information About Changing Region Bandwidth Settings When Video Calls Are Made
The following informational reference will get added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager administration documentation:
Refer to the "Regions" subtopic under the "Administration Considerations" topic of the "IP Video Telephony" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) for the current release, which provides recommendations as to how the video bandwidth should be set for regions and locations, so the video portion of video calls will succeed, and the video calls will not get rejected nor set up as audio-only calls.
The reference will get added to the following topics of the Cisco Unified CM Administration documentation:
•
chapter: Location Configuration
topic: list of restrictions at the beginning of the chapter•
chapter: Region Configuration
topic: list of limitations and restrictions at the beginning of the chapterInformation Omitted for Reroute Incoming Request to New Trunk Based on Setting
Instead of using the information for the Reroute Incoming Request to New Trunk Based on Setting in the "SIP Profile Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide/online help, use the following information when you configure the Reroute Incoming Request to New Trunk Based on Setting in the SIP Profile Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
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:

Tip
Do Not Begin Starting and Ending Directory Numbers with a Zero (0)
In Table 3 of the "Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration" chapter, under Auto-registration Information, the descriptions of Starting Directory Number and Ending Directory Number omit the information that neither number should begin with a zero (0).
Time-of-Day Routing Chapter Omits Information About Defined Time Periods
The "Time-of-Day Routing" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide omits the following information.
•
Example:
Consider the following example:
•
•
In this case, on December 31st, the afterofficehours period will not be considered because it gets overriden by the more specific newyearseve period.
RSVP Reservation Teardown for Shared-Line Calls
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide incorrectly documents the teardown of RSVP reservations that takes place when a shared-line call gets answered. The RSVP and Shared-Line Calls section of the "Resource Reservation Protocol" chapter provides an example that includes the following erroneous statement to describe the reservation teardown:
After phone B2 (in location 3) answers the shared-line call, the RSVP reservation between location 1 and location 3, as well as the reservation between location 1 and location 4, get torn down.
The correct information follows:
After phone B2 (in location 3) answers the shared-line call, the RSVP reservation between location 1 and location 2, as well as the reservation between location 1 and location 4, get torn down. Only the RSVP reservation between location 1 and location 3 remains established.
Considerations for LDAP Port Configuration
Tip
When you configure the LDAP Port field in the LDAP Authentication window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you specify the port number that the corporate directory uses to receive LDAP requests. How your corporate directory is configured determines which port number to enter in this field. For example, before you configure the LDAP Port field, determine whether your LDAP server acts as a Global Catalog server and whether your configuration requires LDAP over SSL. Consider entering one of the following port numbers:

RSVP Reservation Teardown for Shared-Line Calls
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide incorrectly documents the teardown of RSVP reservations that takes place when a shared-line call gets answered. The RSVP and Shared-Line Calls section of the "Resource Reservation Protocol" chapter provides an example that includes the following erroneous statement to describe the reservation teardown:
After phone B2 (in location 3) answers the shared-line call, the RSVP reservation between location 1 and location 3, as well as the reservation between location 1 and location 4, get torn down.
The correct information follows:
After phone B2 (in location 3) answers the shared-line call, the RSVP reservation between location 1 and location 2, as well as the reservation between location 1 and location 4, get torn down. Only the RSVP reservation between location 1 and location 3 remains established.
Application Server Configuration is Not Required for Cisco Unity Connection 2.x
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide suggests that you must configure a Cisco Unity Connection 2.x server in the Application Server Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to maintain an association with the Cisco Unity Connection 2.x server. In fact, configuring a Cisco Unity Connection 2.x server in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration creates a blank list of user templates for Cisco Unity Connection in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Instead of configuring the application server in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, create an AXL connection via Unity Connection 2.x, as described in the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection. Creating the AXL connection via Cisco Unity Connection 2.x pushes a list of valid user templates for Cisco Unity Connection 2.x to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Unclear Documentation on Called Party Name Presentation
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide provides unclear information about called party name presentation.
The Cisco Unified Communications System Guide states that when the Always Display Original Dialed Number service parameter is set to True, the originating phone displays only the dialed digits for the duration of the call. To clarify the documentation, if you set the Cisco CallManager service parameter to True, the name of the called party does not display on the phone of the calling party.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide does not state that setting the Always Display Original Dialed Number service parameter to True impacts the configuration for the Alerting Name field. If you set the service parameter to True, the alerting name does not display on the calling phone; only the original dialed number displays.
Automated Alternate Routing (AAR) Limitation with Remote Gateways
AAR exhibits the limitation that calls that are routed over a remote gateway during a high-bandwidth situation fail, and the calls cannot be routed over the local gateway when AAR is used. This functionality proves to be important to customers who use Tail-End Hop Off (TEHO) for toll bypass.
Workaround Example
Use a specific partition for the TEHO in question.
In the following example, headquarters (HQ) has area code 408, and the Branch (BR1) has area code 919.
Configure as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Results
In an out-of-bandwidth situation, after Cisco Unified Communications Manager tries to allocate the first route group for TEHO (BR1 route group), Cisco Unified CM retries the second route group, at which point the system strips the 91919 string and replaces it with the 1919 string, which is suitable for long-distance dialing. Because the string is configured for use by the local gateway, less rerouting takes place.
AAR works on a per-external-phone-number-mask basis and cannot be processed for an external PSTN number because the system does not know the phone number mask of the PSTN number. This workaround provides AAR functionality and improves network resiliency.
Documentation Does Not State That Line Group with No Members Is Not Supported for Routing Calls
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager documentation does not state that you can configure an empty line group with no members (directory numbers) in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. Although you can configure an empty line group with no members, Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support this configuration for routing calls. If the line group contains no members, the hunt list stops hunting when the call gets routed to the empty line group. To avoid this situation, make sure that you configure at least one member in the line group.
Peer-to-Peer Image Distribution
Use the following information from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide, "Cisco Unified IP Phones" chapter, to replace the first paragraph of the Peer to Peer Image Distribution section.
The Peer Firmware Sharing feature provides these advantages in high-speed campus LAN settings:
•
•
•
In most conditions, the Peer Firmware Sharing feature optimizes firmware upgrades in branch deployment scenarios over bandwidth-limited WAN links.
When the feature is enabled, it allows the phone to discover like phones on the subnet that are requesting the files that make up the firmware image and to automatically assemble transfer hierarchies on a per-file basis. The individual files that make up the firmware image get retrieved from the TFTP server by only the root phone in the hierarchy and are then rapidly transferred down the transfer hierarchy to the other phones on the subnet by using TCP connections.
For more information, see the applicable Cisco Unified IP Phone administration guide.
Recommended Number of Devices in Device Pool
The following information from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide, "Redundancy" chapter, needs clarification.
You associate devices with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager group by using device pools. You can assign each device to one device pool and associate each device pool with one Cisco Unified Communications Manager group. You can combine the groups and device pools in various ways to achieve the desired level of redundancy.
Note
Throttling on SIP UDP Ports
The "SIP and Cisco Unified Communications Manager" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide requires this update for SIP UDP port throttling.
SIP UDP port throttle thresholds help prevent Denial of Service (DOS) attacks from SIP trunks and SIP stations. When the incoming packet rate exceeds the configured threshold for a SIP station or SIP trunk UDP port, Cisco Unified Communications Manager throttles (drops) the packets that exceed the threshold.
The SIP Service Parameters section of this chapter does not include the following parameters for SIP UDP throttling.
SIP UDP Port Throttling Thresholds
These throttle thresholds apply only to SIP UDP ports and do not affect SIP TCP or TLS ports.
Tip
Table 4 describes the configurable threshold values:
The Incoming Port description in Table 15-1 in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide requires this addition for SIP UDP Port Throttling:
Tip
Call Admission Control Bandwidth Example Correction
The "Call Admission Control" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide incorrectly describes the amount of bandwidth that is consumed in an example locations-type call admission control scenario.
Original explanation:
Cisco Unified Communications Manager continues to admit new calls to a link as long as sufficient bandwidth is still available. Thus, if the link to the Austin location in the example has 160 kb/s of available bandwidth, that link can support one G.711 call at 80 kb/s (in each direction), three G.723 or G.729 calls at 24 kb/s each (in each direction), or two GSM calls at 29 kb/s each (in each direction). If any additional calls try to exceed the bandwidth limit, the system rejects them, the calling party receives reorder tone, and a text message displays on the phone.
Correct explanation:
Cisco Unified Communications Manager continues to admit new calls to a link as long as sufficient bandwidth is still available. Thus, if the link to the Austin location in the example has 160 kb/s of available bandwidth, that link can support two G.711 calls at 80 kb/s each, six G.723 or G.729 calls at 24 kb/s each, or five GSM calls at 29 kb/s each. If any additional calls try to exceed the bandwidth limit, the system rejects them, the calling party receives reorder tone, and a text message displays on the phone
Directory Numbers Chapter Includes Incorrect Example for Shared Lines and Call Forward Busy Trigger
The "Understanding Directory Numbers" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide includes incorrect example for shared lines and call forward busy trigger. Use the following information instead of the information in the guide:
Devices with shared-line appearance support the Call Forward Busy Trigger and the Maximum Number of Calls settings. You can configure Call Forward Busy Trigger per line appearance, but the configuration cannot exceed the maximum number call setting for that directory number.
The following example demonstrates how three Cisco Unified IP Phones with the same shared-line appearance, directory number 2000, use Call Forward Busy Trigger and Maximum Number of Calls settings. This example assumes that two calls occur. The following values configuration applies for the devices:
•
•
•
When Cisco Unified IP Phone User 1 dials directory number 2000 for the first call, all three devices ring. The user for Cisco Unified IP Phone 3 picks up the call, and Cisco Unified IP Phones 1 and 2 go to remote in use. When the user for Cisco Unified IP Phone 3 puts the call on hold, user can retrieve the call from the Cisco Unified IP Phone 1 or Cisco Unified IP Phone 2. When User 2 dials directory number 2000 for the second call, only Cisco Unified IP Phone 3 rings.
Licensing Chapter Omits Information on Adjunct Licensing
The "Licensing" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide omits the fact that an error occurs when you configure an application, for example, Cisco IP Communicator, as the adjunct device, and the adjunct device requires more device license units (DLUs) than the primary device; for example, the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906.
With adjunct licensing, fewer device license units (DLUs) get consumed for adjunct (secondary) devices, such as Cisco IP Communicator, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, and Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator, when these applications get used with a Cisco Unified IP Phone 79xx, which serves as the primary device. For adjunct licensing to work, the adjunct device must consume fewer or the same number of DLUs as the primary device.
For example, if you configure Cisco IP Communicator as a secondary device for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970, Cisco IP Communicator consumes only 1 DLU. Adjunct licensing works because the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 consumes 5 DLUs, and Cisco IP Communicator consumes 3 DLUs.
In another example, if you configure Cisco IP Communicator as a secondary device for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906, adjunct licensing fails because the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906 consumes 2 DLUs, and Cisco IP Communicator consumes 3 DLUs.
To ensure that Cisco Unified Communications Manager treats Cisco IP Communicator, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, and Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator as adjunct (secondary) devices, configure the Primary Phone setting in the Phone Configuration window for Cisco IP Communicator, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, and Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator, as described in the "Phone Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Cisco TFTP Chapter Omits Configuration Tip on Centralized TFTP
The "Cisco TFTP" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide does not contain the following information on configuring centralized TFTP:
For centralized TFTP configurations, ensure that the main TFTP server exists in the cluster that runs the highest version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager; for example, if you are using a centralized TFTP server between a compatible Cisco Unified CallManager 4.X cluster and a Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.X cluster, ensure that your main TFTP server exists in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.X cluster. If the main TFTP server exists in the cluster that runs the lower version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the phones use the locale files from the lower version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, which can cause issues with the phone; for example, the phone displays Undefined or ??? for the Do Not Disturb feature instead of displaying that DND is active. These errors display on the phone because the locale files that are served to the phones from the main cluster do not include the localized phrases.
Information About Changing Region Bandwidth Settings When Video Calls Are Made
The following informational reference will get added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager administration documentation:
Refer to the Regions subtopic under the Administration Considerations topic of the "IP Video Telephony" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) for the current release, which provides recommendations about how the video bandwidth should be set for regions and locations, so the video portion of video calls will succeed, and the video calls will not get rejected nor set up as audio-only calls.
The reference will get added to the following topics of the Cisco Unified CM Administration documentation:
•
chapter: Understanding Video Telephony
topic: Bandwidth Management•
chapter: Call Admission Control
topic: Bandwidth CalculationsTrunk Chapter Omits Restrictions for H.323/H.225 Trunks
The "Understanding Cisco Unified Communications Manager Trunks Types" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide does not contain the following restriction for H.323/H.225 trunks.
You cannot configure more than one H.323 trunk of any type (gatekeeper- or non-gatekeeper-controlled) between the same clusters. Configuring more than one H.323 trunk can break inbound calls because Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the received IP address to choose which trunk handles the call. If you configure more than one H.323 trunk between the same clusters, Cisco Unified Communications Manager may choose the wrong trunk device when a call gets processed. To avoid this issue, Cisco Unified Communications Manager checks the following configuration:
•
•
If you configure one trunk with an IP address, and you configure another trunk with a hostname that resolves to the same IP address, Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not detect this configuration, which causes duplicate trunk configuration and problems with call processing.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager cannot detect the configuration of a gatekeeper-controlled trunk and a non-gatekeeper-controlled trunk or the configuration of multiple gatekeeper-controlled trunks between the same Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters. Additionally, Cisco Unified Communications Manager cannot detect the configuration of a gatekeeper-controlled H.323 trunk with the configuration of an H.323 gateway that is accessible from that same gatekeeper-controlled H.323 trunk. These configurations can cause problems for call processing, so carefully configure your trunks in Cisco Unified Communications Manager to avoid these issues.
Information About Changing Region Bandwidth Settings When Video Calls Are Made
The following informational reference will get added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager administration documentation:
Refer to the Regions subtopic under the Administration Considerations topic of the "IP Video Telephony" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) for the current release, which provides recommendations as to how the video bandwidth should be set for regions and locations, so the video portion of video calls will succeed, and the video calls will not get rejected nor set up as audio-only calls.

The Restrictions section of the "Intercom" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide incorrectly indicates that an intercom call can be placed on hold. Actually, you cannot place an intercom call on hold.
CTI and Attendant Console Chapters Omit Information on CTI Monitored Lines
To calculate the number of CTI monitored lines in a system, use the following formula:
number of pilot point DNs + (number of clients open * number of directory numbers per phone) + (number of parked directory numbers * number of open clients) = CTI Monitored Lines
Incorrect Information on How to Install Assistant Console Application
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide does not state that the assistant console application supports Windows Vista.
Disregard the entire Assistant Console Dialog Options section in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide. Instead, use the following information.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide incorrectly describes how to obtain the assistant console application for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant. In release 6.1(1a) (and later 6.x releases), the assistant no longer obtains the assistant console application via the URL that is listed in the guide. Instead, the assistant must download the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant plug-in from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (choose Applications > Plugins), as described in the following information.
Correct Information
The assistant no longer obtains the assistant console application via a URL that the administrator provides; instead, a plug-in from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration gets downloaded and installed on the assistant PC.
The assistant console application installation supports Netscape 7.1 (or later) and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (or later). You can install the application on a PC that runs Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista [new support for 5.1(3) and later].
A previous 5.x or 6.x version of the assistant console application works with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(1a), but if you decide to install the 6.1(1a) plug-in, you must uninstall the previous 5.x or 6.x version of the assistant console application before you install the plug-in.
Previous versions of the assistant console application do not work with Windows Vista. If the PC runs Windows Vista, install the plug-in.
After you upgrade from Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.x to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(1a), you must install the assistant console plug-in. Before you install the plug-in, uninstall the 4.x version of the assistant console application.
To uninstall previous versions of the assistant console application [(6.0(1), 4.x, or any 5.x version before 5.1(3))], choose Start> ...Programs > Cisco Unified CallManager Assistant > Uninstall Assistant Console.
To uninstall 5.1(3) (or later) attendant console application, go to the Control Panel and remove it.

Before the assistant logs in to the console, give the assistant the port number and the IP address or hostname of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server where the Cisco IP Manager Assistant service is activated. The first time that the assistant logs in to the console, the assistant must enter the information in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Server Port and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Server Hostname or IP Address fields.
Before the assistant logs in to the console, give the assistant the user name and password that is required to log in to the console.
The Advanced tab in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Settings window allows you to enable trace for the assistant console.
Do Not Disturb Feature Priority
On Cisco Unified IP Phones, the text message that indicates the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature is active takes priority over the text message that indicates the user has new voicemail messages, which allows the user to know when DND is active. However, the text message that indicates the Call Forward All feature is active has a higher priority than DND.
Extension Mobility Successful Authentication Cache
The Extension Mobility application maintains a cache of all logged on user information for 2 minutes. If a request comes to extension mobility regarding a user who is represented in the cache, the user gets validated with information from the cache. This means that, if a user changes the password, logs out, and then logs back in within 2 minutes, both the old and new passwords get recognized.
Devices Associated with the Attendant Console Application User
You must always enable the superprovider feature by associating the ac application user with the user group "Standard CTI Allow Control of All Devices" and must not associate any devices with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Attendant Console ac application user.
Caution
CTI Devices Do Not Support Multicast Music on Hold (MOH)
CTI devices do not support the multicast Music on Hold feature. If a CTI device is configured with a multicast MOH device in the media resource group list of the CTI device, call control issues may result. CTI devices do not support multicast media streaming.
Attendant Console Phones Do Not Support the Intercom Feature
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Attendant Console does not support the intercom feature. The attendant console GUI shows intercom and other lines but does not display the hunt group member line when the intercom feature is configured on a phone that is a member of a hunt group.
Unclear Documentation on How Locales Work for Mobile Voice Access
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide does not address how locales work for mobile voice access. Mobile voice access uses the first locale that displays in the Selected Locales pane in the Mobile Voice Access window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (Media Resources > Mobile Voice Access) when the IVR is used. For example, if English United States displays first in the Selected Locales pane, the Cisco Unified Mobility user receives English when the IVR is used during a call.
Mobile Connect and Mobile Voice Access Chapter Omits Information About Configuring the Mobile Voice Access Media Resource
The "Mobile Connect and Mobile Voice Access" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide omits the following information about configuring the mobile voice access media resource:
Be aware that this configuration is required for making calls with the Mobile Voice Access feature. After the gateway collects the required digits from the user to make a call, the call gets transferred to the DN that is configured in this window. This DN can represent an internal DN to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and the end user does not need to know the DN. The administrator must configure a dial-peer, so the MVA service can transfer the call from the gateway to this DN. Also, ensure this DN is placed in a partition where the inbound calling search space (CSS) of the gateway or the remote destination profile CSS can reach the DN, as configured in the Inbound Calling Search Space for Remote Destination service parameter in the Clusterwide Parameters (System - Mobility) pane.
cBarge Chapter Omits Information on Shared Line Restriction for Conferences
The "Barge and Privacy" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide does not contain the following cBarge restriction for shared lines and conferences:
If the number of shared-line users in the conference is equal to or greater than the configuration for the Maximum Number of Calls setting for the device from which you are attempting to barge, the phone displays the message, Error Past Limit.
Note
Cisco Unified IP Phones Supporting Call Back with PLKs

Number of Login or Logout Operations That Cisco Extension Mobility Supports
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide omits the maximum number of login or logout operations that Cisco Extension Mobility supports for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.1(1a). The correct guideline follows:
Cisco Extension Mobility supports a maximum of 250 login or logout operations per minute (or 15,000 operations per hour). Remember that these operations are sequential, not concurrent. (Some devices may support more login or logout operations per hour.)
None Option does Not get Documented for DND Incoming Call Alert Setting

Barge with Shared Conference Bridge
The "Barge and Privacy" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide does not correctly describe the process for configuration of the Barge with Shared Conference Bridge feature. The Standard User and Standard Feature softkey templates do not support cBarge and cannot be modified. The following corrections apply to the Barge with Shared Conference Bridge (cBarge) Configuration Checklist (table).
Replace Step 1 with the following information:
To create a softkey template that includes cBarge, make a copy of the Standard Feature softkey template. Modify this user-named copy to add the Conference Barge (cBarge) softkey to the Selected Softkeys in the Remote in Use call state. See the Adding Non-Standard Softkey Templates section in the "Device Configuration" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for more information on creating copies of standard softkey templates.

Disable privacy on phones to allow cBarge.
Number of Alphanumeric Characters That Are Allowed in the Pickup Group Name Field
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide incorrectly states that you can enter up to 30 alphanumeric characters in the Pickup Group Name field in the Call Pickup Group Configuration window. The guide should state that you can enter up to 100 characters in the Pickup Group Name field.
Documentation Does Not Include the Latest List of Supported Phone Models
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide may not contain the latest list of supported Cisco Unified IP Phones. To identify whether the phone supports a feature, refer to the phone documentation that supports this version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the phone model.
Do Not Disturb Documentation Provides Incorrect Information About Phone Tone
The "Do Not Disturb" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide states that the phone periodically plays a tone to remind you that DND is active. The phone does not play a tone to remind you that DND is active. Instead, the status on the phone displays Do Not Disturb is active.
Destination Number in Remote Destination Configuration Window
The "Mobile Connect and Mobile Voice Access" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide incorrectly documents the Destination Number field of the Remote Destination Configuration window. In the Remote Destination Configuration Settings section, the following statements in the Destination Number description require correction:
•

•
Cisco Extension Mobility Supplemental Information
Consider the following information as supplementary to the information that is provided in the "Cisco Extension Mobility" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide:
When you subscribe devices to the Extension Mobility IP Phone Service (Device > Device Settings > Phone Services), an error results if you click Update Subscriptions more than once. When you update many phones, it can take some time for the changes to propagate to all devices. You must click Update Subscriptions only once and wait for this propagation to complete.
Cisco Unified IP Phones Supporting Barge
Replace the following out-of-date statement in the "Barge and Privacy" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide:
Original statement:
Some Cisco Unified IP Phones (such as 7940 and 7960) have the built-in conference bridge capability, which barge uses.
Updated information:
Most Cisco Unified IP Phones include the built-in conference bridge capability, which barge uses.

Definition of Locally Significant Certificate
The definition of Locally Significant Certificate (LSC) in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide needs correction. A third-party certificate authority (CA), cannot issue an LSC. An LSC represents a digital X.509v3 certificate that CAPF issues. It gets installed on a phone or JTAPI/TAPI/CTI application.
Support for Certificates from External CAs
This section in the "Security Overview" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide updates the existing sentence to include IPSec and Tomcat, as follows: Customers who currently use third-party CAs should use the CSR mechanism to issue certificates for Communications Manager, CAPF, IPSec, and Tomcat.
CAPF System Interactions and Requirements
This section in the "Using the Certificate Authority Proxy Function" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide requires this new item:
If a secure phone gets moved to another Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager will not trust the LSC certificate that the phone sends because it was issued by another CAPF whose certificate is not in the CTL file. To enable the secure phone to register, delete the existing CTL file by using the "Deleting the CTL File on the Cisco Unified IP Phone" procedure in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide. You can then use the Upgrade/Install option to install a new LSC certificate with the new CAPF and reset the phone for the new CTL file (or use the MIC). Use the Delete option in the CAPF section on the Phone Configuration window to delete the existing LSC before the phones are moved.
Security Icons and Encryption
This subsection of the Restrictions section in the "Security Overview" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide requires this addition:
If a call from an encrypted phone over a SIP trunk gets transferred back to an encrypted phone that is configured on the same server as the phone that transferred the call, the call does not get encrypted, and the lock icon does not display even though the encrypted phones are configured on the same server.
Software Conference Bridge Not Supported
The "Configuring Secure Conference Resources" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide requires this addition: Due to the performance impact to Cisco Unified Communications Manager processing, secure conferencing does not get supported on software conference bridge.

Description for Phone Personalization Is Incorrect in Documentation
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide, Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide contain incorrect information on phone personalization. If you plan to configure the Phone Personalization setting in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the following information:
The Phone Personalization setting allows you to enable a Cisco Unified IP Phone, so it works with Phone Designer, a Cisco Unified Communications widget that allows a phone user to customize the wallpaper and ring tones on the phone. You can enable phone personalization in the Enterprise Parameter Configuration window, the Phone Configuration window, the Common Phone Profile Configuration window, or the Phone Template window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Tip
If you configure phone personalization in the Phone Configuration window (Device > Phone), Common Phone Profile Configuration window (Device > Device Settings > Common Phone Profile), or the Phone Template window (Bulk Administration > Phones > Phone Template), choose one of the following options from the Phone Personalization drop-down list box:
•
•
•
You must install and configure Phone Designer, so the phone user can customize the phone. Before you install and configure Phone Designer, identify which Cisco Unified IP Phone models work with Phone Designer, as described in the Phone Designer release notes. To obtain the Phone Designer documentation, go to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9829/tsd_products_support_series_home.html
Incorrect Path Is Documented for Add File Format Window
The "Phones and User File Format" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide includes an incorrect path to the Add File Format window. The Adding Phones/User File Formats section incorrectly states that you choose Bulk Administration > Phones and Users> Phones & Users File Format > Assign File Format to access the Add File Format window. Disregard the path in the BAT documentation and choose the following path to access the Add File Format window: Bulk Administration > Phones and Users > Phones & Users File Format > Add File Format.
Primary User Device Field on the Update Users Window in BAT
The Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Guide omitted this information. A new field called Primary User Device displays in the Mobility Information section of the End User Configuration window. This field controls the number of device license units that are consumed for adjunct devices for mobile connect and works in conjunction with the Enable Mobility check box in the End User Configuration window.You can access this window through Users > Update Users.
Single Button Barge (new field)—Phone Template Configuration Window in BAT
The Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Guide omitted this information. Single Button Barge (new field)—This new field displays in the Phone Template Configuration window, and when you add a new phone configuration for a phone that is running SCCP, a new row exists for Single Button Barge/cBarge. You can set the Single Button Barge/cBarge feature Off, Barge. cBarge, or Default. If it is set to Default, the phone inherits the Single Button Barge/cBarge setting from the service parameter and device pool settings.
Join Across Lines (new field)—Phone Template Configuration Window in BAT
The Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Guide omitted this information. Join Across Lines (new field)—This new field displays in the Phone Template Configuration window. When you add a new phone configuration for a phone that is running SCCP, a new row exists for Join Across Lines. You can set the Join Across Lines feature to Off, On, or Default. If it is set to Default, the phone inherits the Join Across Lines setting from the service parameter and device pool settings.
Single Button Barge (new field)—UDP Template configuration Window in BAT
The Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Guide omitted this information. Single Button Barge (new field)—This new field displays in the UDP Template Configuration window. When you add a new device profile configuration for a phone that is running SCCP, a new row exists for Single Button Barge/cBarge. You can set the Single Button Barge/cBarge feature to Off, Barge, cBarge, or Default. If it is set to Default, the phone inherits the Single Button Barge/cBarge setting from the service parameter and device pool settings.
Join Across Lines (new field)—UDP Template configuration Window in BAT
The Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Guide omitted this information. Join Across Lines (new field)—This new field displays in the UDP Template Configuration window. When you add a new device profile configuration for a phone that is running SCCP, a new row exists for Join Across Lines. You can set the Join Across Lines feature to Off, On, or Default. If it is set to Default, the phone inherits the Join Across Lines setting from the service parameter and device pool settings.

Cisco Unified IP Phone User Guide (7906, 7911, 7931, 7945, 7965, 7975)
The following information on extension mobility needs updating in the Cisco Unified IP Phone Guide (7906, 7911, 7931, 7945, 7965, 7975).
Using Cisco Extension Mobility
Cisco Extension Mobility (EM) allows you to temporarily configure a Cisco Unified IP Phone as your own. After you log in to EM, the phone adopts your user profile, including your phone lines, features, established services, and web-based settings. Your system administrator must configure EM for you.

Extension Mobility Successful Authentication Cache
The extension mobility application maintains a cache of all logged on user information for 2 minutes. If a request comes to extension mobility regarding a user who is represented in the cache, the user gets validated with information from the cache. This means that, if a user changes the password, logs out, and then logs back in within 2 minutes, both the old and new passwords get recognized.
Do Not Disturb Feature Priority
On Cisco Unified IP Phones, the text message that indicates the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature is active takes priority over the text message that indicates the user has new voicemail messages, which allows the user to know when DND is active. However, the text message that indicates the Call Forward All feature is active has a higher priority than DND.
Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guides (7905G, 7912G, 7921G)
