Cisco CallManager Release 3.1

---

This guide describes how to get your Cisco CallManager system up and running for test purposes. When you complete this procedure, you will be able to make a phone call from one phone to another phone by using Cisco CallManager.

Use this guide in conjunction with the following tools:

•The version of Cisco CallManager release notes that matches the version of the Cisco CallManager release you install

•The Cisco CallManager Administration Guide, the Cisco CallManager System Guide, the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide, or online help in the Cisco CallManager application

•The Cisco Documentation CD-ROM.

1  Install Cisco CallManager

Install Cisco CallManager on a Cisco Media Convergence Server or a customer-provided server meeting approved Cisco configuration standards. Follow the instructions in the version of the installation document included with the software.

After you complete the installation, verify that Cisco CallManager, and all the services that you installed, start. Perform the following steps to verify services:

---

Step 1 If you are not logged in, choose Start > Programs > Cisco CallManager 3.1 > CallManager Administration > Application > Cisco CallManager Serviceability and log in with administrator privileges.

Step 2 Choose Tools > Control Center.

Step 3 From the list of Cisco CallManagers on the left, choose the server where you want to verify services. After the window refreshes, the Service Name column lists all services that are configured on this server.

Step 4 Verify that the Service Status column indicates that each of the installed services is running. If the service is running, a triangle displays next to the service name.

Step 5 If a square displays next to any installed service, indicating that the service is stopped, click the Start button in the Service Control column next to the service you want to start.

---

Step 1 If you are not logged in, choose Start > Programs > Cisco CallManager 3.1 > CallManager Administration and log in with administrator privileges.

Step 5 Make sure that Auto-registration Disabled on this Cisco CallManager is deselected.

Step 6 Click Update to save your changes.

Step 7 When the update completed message appears, you can close the browser application.

---

The phones may take 30 to 60 seconds to register. When the phones are online, the phone panel displays the phone number and the date.

Test the phones by going off-hook on one phone and then dialing the other phone.

If you encounter problems after performing the preceding procedure, check the following items:

•Make sure auto-registration is configured correctly and is enabled.

•Make sure the DNS domain suffix is in the correct format.

•If you are not using DNS, make sure the server is renamed to the correct IP address.

•Make sure the phones are configured with the correct TFTP server IP address.

•Stop and start the Cisco CallManager service.
