CSCue75498 Cisco Unified Communications Manager Trunk Types

Step 14 of the Set up SIP trunk topic in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide states "When you enable Send send-receive SDP in mid-call INVITE for an early offer SIP trunk in tandem mode, Cisco Unified Communications Manager inserts MTP to provide sendrecv SDP when a SIP device sends offer SDP with a=inactive or sendonly or recvonly in audio media line." This statement incorrectly qualifies the situation as occurring in tandem mode only. This situation can occur for all clusters.

Configure LDAP Directory

The Configure LDAP Directory topic in the Directory Overview chapter of theCisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide contains an out-of-date list of supported directories. The list incorrectly states that Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports Microsoft Active Directory 2000 and iPlanet Directory Server 5.1. In addition, the list omits Sun One Directory Server 7.0 and Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition 11gR1, both of which Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports, from the list of supported directories.

CSCuf16795 Cisco Unified IP Phones that support Private Line Automatic Ringdown (PLAR)

The Private Line Automatic Ringdown (PLAR) topic in the Dial Rules Overview chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide incorrectly states that only Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940/41, 7960/61, and 7970/71 support PLAR for SIP. However, the following Cisco Unified IP Phones also support PLAR over SIP: 9971, 9951, 8961, and Cisco ATA 187.

CSCue50755 Updates to Supported Cisco Unified IP Phones

The Supported Cisco Unified IP Phones topic omits the following supported phones.

Example:

Domain: cisco.com

Use Domain Name for XMPP Certificate Subject Common Name

Default Setting: Off

Check this check box if you want the general XMPP certificate to use the same domain name as the XMPP server-to-server certificate. If you change this setting, you must regenerate the XMPP certificate before you restart the Cisco XCP Router service.

Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager

CSCue26921

The pre-upgrade step to check the connectivity between the IM and Presence Service server and Cisco Unified Communications Manager was added to the Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Problem    During an IM and Presence Service upgrade, the IM and Presence Service server generates the following error message, even though the upgrade path and file are valid.

"The directory was located and searched but no valid options or upgrades were available. Note, a machine cannot be downgraded so option and upgrade files for previous releases were ignored"

Solution    The upgrade manager checks for connectivity between IM and Presence Service and Cisco Unified Communications Manager to validate the version during the upgrade. If this fails, the IM and Presence Service server generates the error message even though the upgrade path and file are valid. Use a tool, such as the Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Administration System Troubleshooter, to check that there is connectivity between IM and Presence Service and Cisco Unified Communications Manager before proceeding with the upgrade.
