Starting and Stopping Cisco CallManager

---

This chapter describes how to start and stop the Cisco CallManager server. For information about starting and stopping other Cisco CallManager services, refer to the "Starting and Stopping Services Using the Control Center" section.

There are three methods for starting and stopping a Cisco CallManager server:

•Using the Control Center in Cisco CallManager Administration. See the "Using the Control Center" section.

•Using the Windows Control Panel for Services. See the "Using Windows Services" section.

•Using the Reset button in Cisco CallManager Administration. See the "Using the Cisco CallManager Reset Button" section.

Caution Stopping Cisco CallManager also stops call processing for all devices controlled by that Cisco CallManager. When a Cisco CallManager is stopped, calls from an IP phone to another IP phone will stay up; calls in progress from an IP phone to an MGCP gateway will also stay up; and any other type of calls will be dropped. See the "Understanding Redundancy" section.
