To view the release notes for previous versions of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose the Cisco Unified Communications Manager version from the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_release_notes_list.html.
Before you install Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco recommends that you review the "Important Notes" section for information about issues that may affect your system.
Note
Cisco recommends that you check Cisco.com for the latest software updates to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and its applications and download and install the latest updates on your system before the deployment of your Cisco Unified Communications Manager system. For a list of commonly used URLs, see the "The Latest Software Upgrades for Unified CM 7.1 on Cisco.com" section.
Introduction
Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the call-processing component of the Cisco Unified Communications System, extends enterprise telephony features and capabilities to IP phones, media processing devices, voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways, mobile devices, and multimedia applications.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition (Unified CMBE) offers you the features and functionality of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) and Cisco Unity Connection on one appliance platform.
System Requirements
The following sections comprise the system requirements for this release of Cisco Unified CM.
Server Support
Make sure that you install and configure Cisco Unified CM on a Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) or a Cisco-approved HP server configuration or a Cisco-approved IBM server configuration.
To find which MCS are compatible with this release of Cisco Unified CM, refer to the Supported Servers for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Releases: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/ps5748/ps378/prod_brochure0900aecd8062a4f9.html.
Note
Note
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Cisco recommends that you connect each Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition server to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to provide backup power and protect your system against a power failure.
When Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition runs on one of the servers that are listed in Table 2, 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 with the APC SmartUPS 1500VA USB and APC 750VA XL USB. The feature activates automatically during bootup if a connected UPS gets detected.
Alternatively, you can execute the CLI command show ups status that shows the current status of the USB-connected APC smart-UPS device and starts the monitoring service if it is not already started. 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, and administrators cannot stop the shutdown after the feature is activated.
For unsupported Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 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.

Special Upgrade Information
The following sections include information that you must know before you begin the upgrade process.
•
•
•
I/O Throttling
The Disable I/O Throttling check box was introduced in the Cisco Unified CM 7.1(2) upgrade window. Do not check this box. It is no longer required when upgrading to this release.
Write-Cache
A disabled write-cache on the server also causes the upgrade process to run more slowly. Multiple factors, including dead batteries on older servers, can cause the write-cache to get disabled.
Before starting an upgrade, verify the status of the write-cache on the MCS-7828-H4 and MCS-7835/45 disk controllers. You do not need to verify the write-cache status on the MCS-7816, MCS-7825, or other MCS-7828 servers. To verify write-cache status, access the Cisco Unified Operating System Administration, and choose Show > Hardware.
If you determine that your write-cache is disabled because of a dead battery, you need to replace the hard disk controller cache battery. Follow your local support procedures to get this battery replaced.
See the following examples of output from the Show > Hardware menu for details on determining the battery and write-back cache status.
The following example shows write-cache enabled. The example indicates that 50 percent of the cache is reserved for write and 50 percent of the cache is reserved for read. If the write-cache was disabled, 100 percent of the cache would be reserved for read or the Cache Status would not equal "OK". Also, the battery count equals "1". If the controller battery was dead or missing, it would indicate "0".

Before you upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1(3), ensure that the device name of a Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator does not exceed 15 characters in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. If the device name of a Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator exceeds 15 characters, migration of this device will fail when you upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1(3) and the following error message gets written to the upgrade log:
InstallFull *ERROR* Name for Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator device(s) must be 15 or less, please correct and rerun upgrade.If an existing Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator device name specifies a longer name, shorten the device name to 15 or fewer characters before the upgrade.
Important Upgrade Information
Do not upgrade Cisco Unified CMBE at the same time that the Cisco Unity Connection task Upgrade Database Statistics is running. Because both processes are processor intensive, allowing them to run simultaneously may cause the system to stop functioning and force you to restart the server.
By default, the Upgrade Database Statistics task runs at 3:30 am daily. To determine whether the task schedule has been changed, whether the task is currently running, and how long the task has recently taken to complete, log on to Cisco Unity Connection Administration. Click Tools > Task Management > Update Database Statistics.
The Task Definition Basics window displays a history of when the task started and when it completed. If the Time Started column has a value and the Time Completed column does not, this indicates that the task is currently running.
If you must run the upgrade at a time that could overlap with the Upgrade Database Statistics task, reschedule the task to run before or after the upgrade. On the Task Definition Basics window for the task, click Edit > Task Schedule.
Do not reschedule the task to run during normal business hours. When the upgrade completes, reset the schedule to the default settings.
Making Configuration Changes After an Upgrade
The administrator must not make any configuration changes to Cisco Unified Communications Manager during an upgrade. Configuration changes include any changes that you make in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, Cisco Unified Serviceability, and the User Option windows.
If you are upgrading your system, you must complete the upgrade tasks in this section before you perform any configuration tasks.

HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update
The HP SCSI hard drive firmware update issue addresses the following defects:
•
•
•
CSCse71185: Certain HP Ultra320 SCSI HDs May Exhibit Reduced Perf and Timeouts
A ProLiant server configured with any of the HP Ultra320 SCSI hard drives listed in HP Customer Advisory #C00677430 (available at http://www.hp.com) may exhibit reduced performance or experience excessive timeouts.The dynamically adjusted seek time profile table in the drive firmware causes this performance issue after it becomes degraded.
When this problem occurs, occasional brief delays in command response time while servicing random workloads causes reduced performance and in severe cases the drive may exhibit command timeouts, which require a server reboot for recovery.
CSCse71295: HP FW Recommended to Min Potential for Media Errors on Certain SCSI HD
A ProLiant server configured with any of the HP Ultra320 SCSI hard drives listed in HP Customer Advisory #C00542020 (available at http://www.hp.com) may report media errors or illuminate the drive fault LED. The corrected firmware version (HPB4 or later) reduces the hard drive idle time that could potentially lead to build-up of media lubricant on the disk surface or drive head, causing the drives to report media errors or illuminate the drive fault LED.
CSCso98836: HP Ultra320 SCSI HDD FW Upgrade
A ProLiant server configured with any of the HP Ultra320 SCSI hard drives that are listed in HP Customer Advisory #C00859596 (available at http://www.hp.com) may exhibit timeouts and SCSI downshifts.
These problems may occur on the following server models:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The affected hard drives for these problems are listed in the associated HP Customer Advisories. However, the Cisco provided HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update CD can be applied to all listed server types and the impacted drives will be updated if applicable.
To update the firmware to a Cisco tested level, use the Cisco provided HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update CD released simultaneous to the Unified Communications 7.0(1) system release. For more details on installing the firmware, see the README.txt file for HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update CD.
The ISO image for the Cisco provided HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update CD and associated readme file may be obtained from Cisco.com at the following navigation path:

Perform DRS Backup After You Regenerate Certificates
After you regenerate certificates in Cisco Unified Communications Operating System, you must perform a backup so that the latest backup contains the regenerated certificate(s). If your backup does not contain the regenerated certificates and you must perform restoration tasks for any reason, you must manually unlock each phone in your system so that the phone can register with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For information on performing a backup, refer to the Disaster Recovery System Administration Guide.
Important Information About Create File Format Capability in BAT
The Create File Format window provides the option to set the maximum number of Lines, Speed Dials, and so on. The file format that gets created by using BAT stores the selected Device, Line, Intercom, Speed Dial, BLF Speed Dial, BLF Directed Call Park, and IP Phone Service fields in the database. Because the database column length only allows up to 32K characters, the BAT Administrator cannot choose all the fields with maximum allowed number because this will exceed 32K. When the file format length exceeds 32K, BAT displays the following error message:
"Cannot Insert a file format with characters more than 32K"
The BAT Administrator must use BAT Phone Templates to define the common attributes.
Limitation Between QSIG PRI and SIP Trunk for MWI
In previous releases of Cisco Unified CM, to route an MWI request from QSIG PRI to a SIP trunk, the route pattern that was specified had to point directly to the SIP trunk.
If the route pattern pointed to a Route List/Route Group that included the SIP trunk, MWI failed. After the first failure, all subsequent MWI indications to any number in the cluster failed.
In Cisco Unified CM 7.x, the MWI routing gets handled differently.
If MessageWaiting gets a SsDataInd signal while in the mwi_nailed_up_ssinfores state, MessageWaiting will not process any subsequent MWIs.
SDL traces should look like the example below, which indicates that a previous MWI request caused the system to hit the limitation.

Creating a Custom Help Desk Role and Custom Help Desk User Group
Some companies want their help desk personnel to have privileges to be able to perform certain tasks, such as adding a phone, adding an end user, or adding an end user to a user group in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Performing the steps in the following example allows help desk personnel to add a phone, add an end user, and add the end user to the Standard CCM End Users user group, which allows an end user to access and update the Cisco Unified CM User Options.

Tip
Do Not Unplug a USB Device While It Is In Use
Do not unplug a USB device that is in use from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server. If you do, the USB device will become inaccessible, and messages will display on the server console.
Removing Hard Drives
Cisco only supports replacing failed hard drives. Cisco does not support drive pulling/swapping as a method of fast upgrade reversion, restore, or server recovery.
CSCsx96370 Multiple Tenant MWI Modes Service Parameter
The Multiple Tenant MWI Modes service parameter, which supports the Cisco CallManager service, specifies whether to apply translation patterns to voice-message mailbox numbers. Valid values specify True, which means that Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses translation patterns to convert voice-message mailbox numbers into directory numbers when your voice-messaging system issues a command to set a message waiting indicator, or False, which means that Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not translate the voice-message mailbox numbers that it receives from your voice-messaging system.
Be aware that this service parameter supports Cisco Unified Communications Manager integrations with Cisco Unity Connection. If your voice-mail extensions require translation in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, set the Multiple Tenant MWI Modes service parameter to True after you install or upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1(3).
Considerations for LDAP Port Configuration
When you configure the LDAP Port field 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:
Your configuration may require that you enter a different port number than the numbers that are listed in the following bullets. Before you configure the LDAP Port field, contact the administrator of your directory server to determine the correct port number to enter.

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. You can invoke MOH by using hold, transfer, conference, park, and so on.
The unicast MOH may resume playing on later hold attempts
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:

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:

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.
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 of 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.
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 Solutions Release 7.1(3) document at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/cli_ref/7_1_3/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.
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 run the Cisco Unified Communications Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) client and monitor performance counters during a Cisco Unified Communications Manager upgrade, the performance counters do 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.

Enabling Write-Back Cache for Improved Upgrade Performance
If you upgrade from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1(3) to a later release in the future, the following warning will display when you start the upgrade if your server write-back cache is disabled. The warning requires you to approve this information before you continue your upgrade:
Warning: The hard disk controller write-back cache is disabled. To enable the cache, replace the disk controller battery. After the new battery charges fully, the write-back cache enables automatically. If you run an upgrade with a disabled write-back cache, you will slow the upgrade process and cause call processing failures.
If you replaced the battery, use the Show Hardware menu on the OS Administration windows to see the battery recharge status.
Maintaining Correct Time Zone Data
To ensure that Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1(3) includes the latest time zone information, you can install a COP file that updates the time zone information after you install Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1(3). You do not need to upgrade Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1(3) to get these updates. After major time zone change events, Cisco contacts you to let you know that you can download COP file ciscocm.dst-updater.YYYYv-1.el4.7.1.3.cop to install on the server. (In the preceding file name example, "YYYY" represents the release year of the COP file, and "v" specifies the file version number.).
Note
For information about how to install a COP file, follow the installation instructions that you get with the file.

For more information, refer to the "Understanding the Directory" section of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Restart
In release 6.1(4) and 7.1(3), 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 gets changed; however, an assistant gets logged off the assistant phone and the Assistant Console when that assistant user ID gets changed.
Create Cisco Unity Voice Mailbox Option Removed from Directory Number Configuration Window
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 7.1(3), the Create Cisco Unity Voice Mailbox option in the Related Links drop-down list box no longer displays in the Directory Number Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration; therefore, you cannot create a Cisco Unity Connection voice mailbox from this window.
The "Directory Number Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition (Release 7.1(2)) and online help incorrectly state that you can create a Cisco Unity Connection voice mailbox from this window.
Cisco Unified Mobility Dial-Via-Office Forward
Release 7.1(3) of Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the Dial-via-Office Forward (DVO-F) feature as part of the capabilities that Cisco Unified Mobility supports.
Users that have Cisco Mobile, a Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator application, installed on their mobile devices can take advantage of the Dial-via-Office Forward feature. Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator invokes the Dial-via-Office Forward feature from the mobile device through SIP signaling over the data channel between Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator-Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage and Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage-Cisco Unified Communications Manager to initiate calls to a final target. Because the calls are anchored at the enterprise, the feature offers a cost-saving solution to Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator mobile users.
Note
Cisco Unified Communications Manager returns the Dial-via-Office Forward (DVO-F) service access number, if the DVO-F service access number has been configured, or the Enterprise Feature Access (EFA) directory number (DN) through the data channel. The Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator client that runs on the mobile phone calls the number that it receives from Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The phone number of the mobile device that makes the DVO-F call gets matched against configured Mobility Identities (MI), thus ensuring that the system places only those calls that authorized users make. If a match occurs, the call request gets sent to the target party. Both complete match and partial match get supported, depending on the setting of the Matching Caller ID with Remote Destination service parameter.

Configuration of Dial-via-Office Forward in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
The following configuration must take place in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration for the Dial-via-Office Forward feature to be enabled:
•
The value of the Enterprise Feature Access Directory Number setting should match the called number and should belong to the correct partition.
•
The Dial-via-Office Service Access Number can specify an alternate number.
Dial-via-Office Forward Service Access Number
Release 7.1(3) of Cisco Unified Communications Manager introduces a new service parameter, Dial-via-Office Forward Service Access Number. This service parameter provides customers the option to set up a dedicated number for Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator users to dial DVO-F while Cisco Unified Communications Manager receives the calls on a different number (for example, through 1-800 support). The DVO-F service access number can specify a toll-free 1-800 number, which the service provider can map to a local number that reaches the enterprise or to any other alternative number for Cisco Mobile clients to invoke DVO-F calls.
The Dial-via-Office Forward Service Access Number service parameter has the following characteristics:
•
•
The Dial-via-Office Service Access Number service parameter interacts with the existing Enterprise Feature Access (EFA) DN as follows:

•
•
The preceding special characters can occur in any position.
Use Case Scenarios for Dial-via-Office Forward
The Dial-via-Office Forward feature supports the following use case scenarios:
1.
The DVO-F feature succeeds only when the Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator user dials the exact EFA DN and Cisco Unified Communications Manager also receives the identical call party number.
Example
EFA DN = 1239876
DVO-F Service Access Number service parameter = EMPTY
Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends 1239876 in 183 message and receives PSTN call to 1239876.
2.
Enterprise sets up a toll-free number, which may be mapped to an actual number (ring-to number) when the service provider receives the call.
If the ring-to number gets applied, administrator must configure the toll-free number (for example, 18008889999) by using the Dial-via-Office Forward Service Access Number service parameter and the ring-to number (for example, 4081239876) as the EFA DN.
Example
EFA DN = 1239876 (localized format, depending on service provider)
DVO-F Service Access Number service parameter = 18008889999
Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends 18008889999 in 183 Session in progress message and receives PSTN call to 1239876.

Dial-via-Office Forward Limitations
The Dial-via-Office Forward (DVO-F) feature specifies these limitations in Release 7.1(3) of Cisco Unified Communications Manager:
•
•
–
–
Enforcement of a Single DVO-F Call per Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator Device
Release 7.1(3) of Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support multiple, simultaneous DVO-F calls from a single Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator device.
If a second DVO-F call gets received from the same Cisco Mobile client while the first DVO-F call is in progress with an established voice path, Cisco Unified Communications Manager rejects the second DVO-F call with a SIP 491 "Request Pending" response.
If a second DVO-F call gets received from the same Cisco Mobile client while the first DVO-F call is still in process and before a voice path has been established, Cisco Unified Communications Manager cancels the first DVO-F call with a SIP 487 "Request Terminated" response and processes the second DVO-F call Invite.

Logical Partitioning Interaction with Block OffNet to OffNet Transfer Service Parameter
Release 7.1(2) of Cisco Unified Communications Manager omitted the interaction of logical partitioning with the Block OffNet to OffNet Transfer service parameter that specifies whether to block offnet-to-offnet call transfers. This interaction now appears in Release 7.1(2) of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and subsequent releases.
The existing Block OffNet to OffNet Transfer service parameter allows the Transfer feature to block the transfer operation when both Transferred and Transferred Destinations specify offnet calls.
Refer to the "Setting the Block OffNet to OffNet Transfer Service Parameter" section in the "External Call Transfer Restrictions" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide for more information about this service parameter.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager system that is disabled for logical partitioning retains the expected behavior that this service parameter specifies.
Logical Partitioning-Enabled System
In a logical partitioning-enabled Cisco Unified Communications Manager system, you can configure the system to allow multiple Voice Gateway (PSTN) participants that use the GeolocationPolicy, GLPolicyX, in a supplementary feature by configuring a policy such as the following one:
GLPolicyX Border GLPolicyX Border Allow
After Cisco Unified Communications Manager configures such a policy, be aware that all features (such as Forwarding, Transfer, Ad Hoc Conference, and so forth) are allowed between participants that use GeolocationPolicy, GLPolicyX Border. For example, forwarding a call that comes from a party that uses GLPolicyX Border to another party that uses GLPolicyX Border gets allowed.
Assume that Cisco Unified Communications Manager deployment requires that all supplementary features except the Transfer feature function for such participants. If so, the Block OffNet to OffNet Transfer service parameter can block transfer between offnet devices even if the logical partitioning policy is allowed.
This service parameter controls only the blocking of offnet-to-offnet transfers and does not impact any other supplementary features. Thus, the following details highlight scenarios that involve voice-gateway-to-voice-gateway transfers.
Details
1.
For Transfer operation between parties that use this geolocation policy, Cisco Unified Communications Manager denies the transfer. The "External Transfer Restricted" message displays to the transferring party.
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager setting (either True or False) for the Block OffNet to OffNet Transfer service parameter does not affect the Transfer operation.
The logical partitioning Deny policy takes precedence, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager follows the policy strictly.
2.
For Transfer operation between parties that use this geolocation policy, Cisco Unified Communications Manager checks the allow policy and also checks the setting of the Block OffNet to OffNet Transfer service parameter. This service parameter thus affects the transfer between offnet participants.
a.
Because transfer gets blocked due to the service parameter, the serviceability Perfmon counter for Logical Partitioning Transfer Failures does not increment.
b.
Offnet/Onnet Behavior for a Device
For outgoing calls, the Call Classification setting in the Route Pattern Configuration window determines the offnet or onnet value. The Call Classification value in the Route Pattern Configuration window overrides the device-level configuration or the corresponding value of the Call Classification service parameter.
For incoming calls, the device-level configuration or the corresponding Call Classification service parameter value determines the offnet or onnet value.
Logical Partitioning Policy Tree Construction
In the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide, Release 7.1(2), the "Logical Partitioning" chapter omits a description of the logical partitioning policy tree construction, which the following text provides. The omitted description will directly follow the figure, "Example Policy Tree for Logical Partitioning Policies for India Cluster," in future editions of the document.
Policy Tree Construction
The policy tree construction follows a fixed algorithm. The policy tree includes a source portion and a target portion.
1.
2.
Thus, the Border-to-Interior policy specifies that the Border part always originates in the source portion of the tree. The policy gets added in a leaf node.
3.
First, a determination decides whether to add GLP_X in the source portion or GLP_Y in the source portion.
If no existing policy matches any tokens of GLP_X or GLP_Y (due to other GLP policy), the tree construction takes the source portion from GLP_X Border and the target portion from GLP_Y Border.
If an existing policy matches some tokens in the source portion, the source portion gets taken from that GLP.
Example 1: GLP_Y Border GLP_X Interior is already configured.
Because GLP_Y is already used in the source portion, to add the [GLP_X Border GLP_Y Border] policy, the GLP_Y gets added in the source portion.
Example 2: If the two policies, [GLP_X Border GLP_Y Interior] and [GLP_Y Border GLP_X Interior] exist, two source branches exist that both start with Border.
Assume that GLP_B overlaps more tokens with GLP_X (as compared to GLP_Y) and GLP_A does not match any Border branches.
To add the [GLP_A Border GLP_B Border] policy, the policy gets searched as to whether GLP_A or GLP_B can fit in the existing source branches.
As GLP_B matches some tokens from GLP_X, the portion of the tree gets shared with GLP_X.
Assume that Border:IN:KA:BLR:BLD1 to Border:IN:MH:MUM:BLD1 exists.
Adding Border:IN:MH:Pune:BLD1 to Border:IN:KA:BLR:BLD2 policy uses the source portion of Border:IN:KA:BLR and adds BLD2 in the leaf of the source tree and adds a target portion of Border:IN:MH:Pune:BLD1.
Thus, for Border-to-Border policies, the policy tree gets constructed to fit best in the existing source and target branches. Consider sharing as many nodes as possible as preferable.
Logical Partitioning Policy Search Algorithm
In Release 7.1(2) of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide, the "Logical Partitioning" chapter provides a list of steps that take place during a policy search. Find these steps in the Logical Partitioning Policy Search Algorithm section. The following content replaces the content in the Basic Operation subsection of Release 7.1(2) of the document, including an expanded and corrected list of steps.
Basic Operation
Construct a list of name/value pairs from the geolocation and geolocation filter information (that is, pairList1 and pairList2).
Example: pairList ="Country=IN:A1=KA:A3=Bangalore:LOC=BLD1"
Input for the search specifies {pairList1, devType1}, {pairList2, devType2}.

Redirected Dialed Number Identification Service and Diversion Header
Releases 6.1(4) and 7.1(3) add 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.

Security
This section contains information about the Security Icon Enabled by Phone Model feature.
Security Icon Enabled by Phone Model
Beginning with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1(3), Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows Security icons to be enabled by phone model on Cisco Unified IP Phones. The Security icon indicates whether the call is secure and the connected device is trusted.
A Trusted Device represents a Cisco device or a third-party device that has passed Cisco security criteria for trusted connections. This includes, but is not limited to, signaling/media encryption, platform hardening, and assurance. If a device is trusted, a Security icon displays, and a secure tone plays on supported devices. Also, the device may provide other features or indicators that are related to secure calls.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager determines whether a device is trusted when you add it to your system. The security icon displays for information purposes only, and the administrator cannot configure it directly.
Beginning with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1(3), Cisco Unified Communications Manager also indicates whether a gateway is trusted by displaying an icon and a message in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
This section describes the behavior of the security icon for trusted devices on both the Cisco Unified IP Phones and in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
The following windows in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration indicate whether a device is trusted:
Gateway Configuration
For each gateway type, the Gateway Configuration window (Device > Gateway) displays either Device is trusted or Device is not trusted, along with a corresponding icon.
The system determines whether the device is trusted, based on the device type. You cannot configure whether the device is trusted.
Phone Configuration
For each phone device type, the Phone Configuration window (Device > Phone) displays either Device is trusted or Device is not trusted, along with a corresponding icon.
The system determines whether the device is trusted, based on the device type. You cannot configure whether the device is trusted. For a list of trusted Cisco Unified IP Phones, see the "Trusted Devices" section.
Cisco Unified IP Phones
Beginning with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1(3), the type of device that a user calls will affect the security icon that displays on the phone. Previously, the system set the security icon by determining whether the signalling and media were secure. For Release 7.1(3), the system will consider the following three criteria to determine whether the call is secure:
•
•
•
Before a supported Cisco Unified IP Phone displays the Lock Security icon, be aware that all three criteria must be met. For calls that involve a device that is not trusted, regardless of signaling and media security, the overall status of the call will stay unsecure, and the phone will not display the Lock icon. For example, if you include an untrusted device in a conference, the system considers its call leg, as well as the conference itself, to be unsecure.

Secure SIP Failover for SRST
Firmware release 8.5(3) provides support for secure calls on a Cisco Unified IP Phone that is running SIP to remain secure after the call fails over to SRST from Cisco Unified Communications Manager. In addition, this feature allows the user to verify that the call is still secure by the lock icon that remains on the phone display.
The SRST supports RTP and SRTP media connections according to how the security settings are configured on the IP phone.
The system administrator configures SRST on a Cisco router to allow endpoints that are using SIP to register to SRST by using SIP/UDP, SIP/TCP, and SIP/TLS/TCP.
The following example shows a complete secure configuration for the SRST:
voice service voipsrtp fallbackallow-connections sip to h323allow-connections sip to sipsipurl sipssrtp negotiate ciscovoice register globalsecurity-policy securesip-uaregistrar ipv4:101.2.0.10 expires 3600xfer target dial-peercrypto signaling default trustpoint 3745-SRST strict-cipher

Beginning in firmware release 8.5(3), when an IP phone endpoint that is using SIP is in a secure call that fails over to SRST from Unified CM, the user will continue to see the lock icon on the phone display, which indicates that the call remains secure. In previous releases, a SIP/TLS/TCP call that fails over to SRST displays the play arrow icon to indicate a non-secure call.
When IP phones register to the SRST, if all segments of the call are SIP endpoints, all the supplementary features get supported—conference, transfer, blind transfer, and call forward. If the segments of the call are both SIP and SCCP endpoints, only basic call gets supported.
This feature gets supported on the following IP phones:

Tip
Understanding the Fixed-in Version Field in the Online Defect Record
When you open the online record for a defect, you will see data in the "First Fixed-in Version" field. The information that displays in this field 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.

Server Replacement
This section contains information on the following topics:
•
Password Validation During a Server Replacement
If you replace a server that was previously upgraded from an older product release, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation program may deny your passwords. This happens because the password validation rules might get stronger in the new product release, but passwords do not get revalidated during an upgrade; however, when you perform a fresh installation on the server that you are replacing, the new, stronger password validation occurs.
If this happens, choose new passwords that the installation program will accept. For more information about passwords, see the document Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Revised Procedure to Shut Down the System
The "System Restart" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide requires the following revisions to the Shut Down the System section:
•
Do not press the power button on the server to shut down the server or to reboot the server. If you do, you may accidentally corrupt the file system, which may prevent you from being able to reboot your server.
•
To shut down the system, follow Procedure 1 or Procedure 2.
•
The hardware may require several minutes to power down.
•
Procedure 2
Run the CLI command utils system shutdown or the command utils system restart. For information on how to run CLI commands, refer to the Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unified Solutions.
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 Release 7.1(3).
Note
Pre-Upgrade Task Is Omitted From Software Upgrades Chapter
The "Software Upgrades" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide omits the following pre-upgrade task:
Before you perform the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1(3) upgrade, ensure that the device name for the Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator device contains 15 or fewer characters. If the device name contains more than 15 characters for the Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator, the device does not migrate during the upgrade.

Administrator Can Set User Credential Policy to Expire Without Making a Global Policy Change
The Credential Settings and Fields section of the "End User Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide incorrectly includes the following information:
For example, if the policy has the Never Expires check box checked, you cannot uncheck and save the Does Not Expire check box in the user Credential Configuration window. You can, however, set a different credential expiration for the user, including Does Not Expire, if the Never Expires policy setting is not checked; the user setting overrides the policy setting.
And, again, regarding the Does Not Expire checkbox:
You cannot uncheck this check box if the policy setting specifies Never Expires.
For releases above 6.1(3), this is not true. An administrator can set a user credential policy to expire without making a global policy change.
Phone Configuration Chapter Does Not Describe Active Load ID
Starting with Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 7.1(2), the Phone Configuration (Device > Phone) contains a new field, Active Load ID, which displays the name of the active firmware load.

How the Number of Client Matter Codes Affects System Start Up Time
The "Client Matter Codes" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide omits the following information:
Because the number of CMCs directly impacts the time that is required for Cisco Unified Communications Manager to start up, limit the number of CMCs to 60,000. If you configure more CMCs than that, expect significant delays. For example, a system with 400,000 CMCs requires approximately 1 hour to start up; a system with 1 million CMCs requires approximately 4 hours to start up.
SIP Profile Configuration No Longer Includes a Call Stats Check Box

The "Directory Number Configuration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide incorrectly describes the Alerting Name field. In addition, The chapter does not describe the relationship between the Alerting Name field and Display (Internal Caller ID) field.
Incorrect Information
For the Alerting Name field, enter a name that you want to display on the phone of the caller.
This setting, which supports the Identification Services for the QSIG protocol, applies to shared and nonshared directory numbers. If you configure an alerting name for a directory number with shared-line appearances, when the phone rings at the terminating PINX, the system performs the following tasks:
•
•
If you do not configure an alerting name, "Name Not Available" may display on the caller phone. If you do not enter a name for the Display (Internal Caller ID) field, the information in the Alerting Name field displays in the Display (Internal Caller ID) field.
Setting the Always Display Original Dialed Number service parameter to True impacts the alerting name functionality. If you set the service parameter to True, the alerting name does not display on the calling phone; only the original dialed number displays.
Correct Information
For the Alerting Name field, enter a name that you want to display on the phone of the caller when the called phone is ringing.
This setting, which supports the Identification Services for the QSIG protocol, applies to shared and nonshared directory numbers. When the phone rings at the terminating PINX, if you configured an alerting name for a directory number with shared-line appearances, the system performs the following tasks:
•
•
Depending on the state of the call and your configuration, the alerting name, directory number, or display (internal caller ID) configuration may display on the phone, as described in the following bullets.
•
•
•
Setting the Always Display Original Dialed Number service parameter to True impacts the alerting name functionality. If you set the service parameter to True, the original dialed number and the alerting name displays during the call.

Tip
Trunk Configuration Chapter Does Not State That You Can Enter Hostname in Destination Address Field
The "Trunk Configuration' chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide does not state that you can enter a hostname in the Destination Address field, which supports SIP trunks. Use the following information when you configure the Destination Address field:
The Destination Address represents the remote SIP peer with which this trunk will communicate. The allowed values for this field specify a valid V4 dotted IP address, a hostname, a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), or DNS SRV record only if the Destination Address is an SRV field is checked.
SIP trunks only accept incoming requests from the configured Destination Address and the specified incoming port that is specified in the SIP Trunk Security Profile that is associated with this trunk.
For configuring SIP trunks when you have multiple device pools in a cluster, you must configure a destination address that is a DNS SRV destination port. Enter the name of a DNS SRV port for the Destination Address and check the Destination Address is an SRV Destination Port check box.
If the remote end is a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster, DNS SRV represents the recommended choice for this field. The DNS SRV record should include all Cisco Unified Communications Managers within the cluster.
Device Name of Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator Must Not Exceed 15 Characters

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.
If you define a time period with a specific date, on that specified date, that period overrides other periods that are defined on a weekly basis.
Example
Consider the following example:
•
•
In this case, on December 31st, the afterofficehours period does not get considered because it gets overridden by the more specific newyearseve period.
Licensing Chapter Does Not State That You Should Use Microsoft Outlook to Receive Licenses
The "Licensing" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide does not state that Cisco recommends that you use Microsoft Outlook when you receive Cisco Unified Communications Manager licenses.
Documentation for Enhanced IP Phone Services Incomplete
Enhanced IP phone services provisioning was introduced in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.0(1). When you configure phone services, use the following information instead of the information that is available in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Description
With Enhanced IP phone service provisioning, you can perform the following tasks:
•
You can specify whether the phone gets the service from its configuration file, whether the phone retrieves the service from a custom Service URL, or whether the phone supports both options.
•
You can enable or disable a service in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, which allows you to display or not display the service on the phone without deleting the service from the database.
For example, if you do not want to display any call history information on the phone, choose Device > Device Settings > Phone Services, and uncheck the Enable check box for the Missed Calls, Received Calls, Placed Calls, and Intercom Calls in each configuration window.
•
By default, for phones with Directory, Messages, or Services buttons/options, the service displays either under one of the buttons/options on the phone. If you want to do so, you can change this assignment in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
In previous releases, for phones with Directory, Messages, or Services buttons/options, IP phone services always displayed under the Services button/Services menu on the phone.
•
Tip
Installation/Upgrade (Migration) Considerations
If you upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.x and you provisioned services in a previous release, you may need to perform additional configuration tasks after the upgrade. For example, if you use a custom directory that points to a specific service URL, update the Service Provisioning drop-down list box to Both, as described in Table 14.
With a 7.x Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation or upgrade, Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically provisions the Cisco-provided default services in Table 12. These services display in the Find and List IP Phone Services window (Device > Device Settings > Phone Services). To update these services, click the link in the window. You can change the name of the service, where the default service displays on the phone, and the service URL. If you change the service URL for the default services, choose Both from the Service Provisioning drop-down list box, as described in Table 14.
Table 12 Cisco-provided Default Services
Corporate Directory
This XML service allows the phone to display the corporate directory on the phone. By default, for phones with a Directory button/option, the corporate directory option displays when a user presses the Directory button/option on the phone. By default, the service URL is Application:Cisco/CorporateDirectory. By default, the corporate directory automatically displays on all phones that support services in the cluster, and you (or an end user) cannot subscribe to the service.
If you update the corporate directory option because you want to configure this option to support a custom directory, for example, you update the Service URL to point to your custom directory, make sure that you choose Both for the Service Provisioning drop-down list box, as described in Table 14.
Intercom Calls
This XML service allows the phone to display the history records for intercom calls. By default, for phones with a Directory button/option, the intercom history option displays when a user presses the Directory button/option on the phone. By default, the service URL is Application:Cisco/IntercomCalls. By default, this service does not automatically display on all phones that support services in the cluster; therefore, the phone user must subscribe to the service in the Cisco Unified CM User Options (or you can subscribe to the service).
Missed Calls
This XML service allows the phone to display missed calls on the phone. By default, for phones with a Directory button/option, the missed calls option displays when a user presses the Directory button/option on the phone. By default, the service URL is Application:Cisco/MissedCalls. By default, the Missed Calls option automatically displays on all phones that support services in the cluster, and you (or an end user) cannot subscribe to the service.
Personal Directory
This XML service allows a phone user to use Personal Directory. By default, for phones with a Directory button/option, the Personal Directory option displays when a user presses the Directory button/option on the phone. By default, the service URL is Application:Cisco/PersonalDirectory. By default, the Personal Directory option automatically displays on all phones that support services in the cluster, and you (or an end user) cannot subscribe to the service.
Placed Calls
This XML service allows the phone to display calls that the user has placed on the phone. By default, for phones with a Directory button/option, the placed calls option displays when a user presses the Directory button/option on the phone. By default, the service URL is Application:Cisco/PlacedCalls. By default, the Placed Calls option automatically displays on all phones that support services in the cluster, and you (or an end user) cannot subscribe to the service.

This XML service allows the phone to display received calls on the phone. By default, for phones with a Directory button/option, the received calls option displays when a user presses the Directory button/option on the phone. By default, the service URL is Application:Cisco/ReceivedCalls. By default, the Received Calls option automatically displays on all phones that support services in the cluster, and you (or an end user) cannot subscribe to the service.
Voicemail
This XML service allows users to retrieve voice messages on the phone. By default, for phones with a Messages button/option, the voice mail option displays when a user presses the Messages button/option on the phone. By default, the service URL is Application:Cisco/Voicemail. By default, the Voicemail option automatically displays on all phones that support services in the cluster, and you (or an end user) cannot subscribe to the service.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Configuration Tips
To minimize the impact to Cisco Unified Communications Manager performance and call processing, do not put IP phone services on any Cisco Unified Communications Manager server at your site or any server that is associated with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, such as the TFTP server or publisher database server.
If you do not want to display the service on the phone, uncheck the Enable check box in the IP Phone Services Configuration window (Device > Device Settings > Phone Services).
If you want to display IP phone services on a different button than the button that is specified as the default, update the Services Type setting.
If you change the default service URL for a Cisco-provided default service, for example, you change the service URL for the corporate directory from Application:Cisco/CorporateDirectory to a custom URL, make sure that you choose Both from the Service Provisioning drop-down list box, as described in Table 14.
If you (or an end user) subscribe to a disabled service, the service does not display on the phone.
If a service is not marked as an enterprise subscription, you can assign it as a service URL button (that is, as a speed dial on the phone).
If you upgrade your cluster and services do not work or display on the phone, choose Both for the Service Provisioning drop-down list box.
Configuration Checklist
Table 13 provides a checklist to configure Cisco Unified IP Phone services.
Table 13 Cisco Unified IP Phone Service Configuration Checklist
Step 1
Provision the Cisco Unified IP Phone Service, including the list of parameters that personalize the service. (Device > Device Settings > Phone Service)
Cisco-provided default services display in the Find and List Phone Services Configuration window after a Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation or upgrade. If you want to do so, you can update these services. If you update these services, you may need to update the Service Provisioning drop-down list box.
Installation/Upgrade (Migration) Considerations
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Configuration Tips
Configuring an IP Phone Service Parameter, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide
To determine the parameters for your IP phone service, refer to the documentation that supports your IP phone service.
Step 2
Configure the Service Provisioning drop-down list box.
This drop-down list box displays in the Enterprise Parameter Configuration window (System > Enterprise Parameter), in the Common Phone Profile window (Device > Device Settings > Common Phone Profile), and in the Phone Configuration window (Device > Phone).
How you configure this setting depends on the phone models that are in your network. If all phone models in your network can parse the service configuration information from the phone configuration file, you can choose Internal. If you have phone models in your network that cannot parse the service configuration information from the phone configuration file, choose Both.
Choosing Both allows you to support phones that can parse the service information from the phone configuration file and phone models that can only obtain the service information from a service URL; some phone models, for example, the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960, can only obtain the service information from a service URL; to support all phone models in your network, choose Both.
Installation/Upgrade (Migration) Considerations
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Configuration Tips
Step 3
For phones that have Messages, Directory, or Service buttons/options, you can specify under which button/option on the phone the service will display. (You do this in the Phone Services Configuration window.)
If you want the service to display as a speed dial button on the phone, create and customize a phone button template that includes the service URL button; then, assign the IP phone service to the service URL button. You can only add services as speed dials if the service is not marked as enterprise subscription.
Configuring Phone Button Templates, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide
Adding an IP Phone Service to a Phone Button, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide
Step 4
Notify users that the Cisco Unified IP Phone Services are available.
Refer to the phone documentation for instructions on how users access Cisco Unified IP Phone services.
GUI Changes
Table 14 describes the new settings for enhanced IP phone services provisioning. All settings display under Device > Device Settings > Phone Services in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, unless otherwise noted in Table 14.
Table 14 Enhanced IP Phone Service Provisioning Settings
Service URL
Enter the URL of the server where the IP phone services application is located. Make sure that this server remains independent of the servers in your Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster. Do not specify a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server or any server that is associated with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, such as a TFTP server or publisher database server.
TipFor Cisco-signed Java MIDlets, enter the location where the JAD file can be downloaded; for example, a web server or the backend application server to which the Java MIDlet communicates.
For Cisco-provided default services, the service URL displays as Application:Cisco/<name of service> by default; for example, Application:Cisco/CorporateDirectory. If you modify the service URL for Cisco-provided default services, change the Service Provisioning setting to Both. For example, you use a custom corporate directory, so you change Application:Cisco/CorporateDirectory to the service URL for your custom directory; in this case, change the Service Provisioning setting to Both.
Service Category
Choose whether the service is based on XML or Java MIDlet.
If you choose Java MIDlet, when the phone receives the updated configuration file, the phone retrieves the Cisco-signed MIDlet application (JAD and JAR) from the specified Service URL and installs the application.
Service Type
Choose whether the service is provisioned to the Services, Directories, or Messages button on the phone.
Service Vendor
This field allows you to specify the vendor/manufacturer for the service. This field is optional for XML applications, but it is required for Cisco-signed Java MIDlets.
For Cisco-signed Java MIDlets, the value that you enter in this field must exactly match the vendor that is defined in the MIDlet JAD file.
This field displays as blank for Cisco-provided default services.
You can enter up to 64 characters.
Service Version
Enter the version number for the application.
For XML applications, this field is optional and is informational only. For Cisco-signed Java MIDlets, consider the following information:
•
•
This field displays as blank for Cisco-provided default services.
You can enter numbers and periods in this field (up to 16 ASCII characters).
Enable
This check box allows you to enable or disable the service without removing the configuration from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Unchecking the check box removes the service from the phone configuration file and the phone.
Enterprise Subscription
This check box allows you to automatically provision the service to all devices in the cluster that can support the service. If you check this check box, you (or an end user) cannot subscribe to the service.
If this check box is unchecked, you must manually subscribe to the service for it to display on the phone (either in the Phone Configuration window, in BAT, or in the Cisco Unified CM User Options).
TipTo identify whether the service is provisioned to all devices in the cluster that can support the service, go to the Find and List IP Phone Services window and display the services. If true displays in the Enterprise Subscription column, you (or an end user) can subscribe to the service. If false displays, you (or an end user) cannot subscribe to the service.
Services Provisioning
This drop-down list box displays in the Enterprise Parameter Configuration window (System > Enterprise Parameter), in the Common Phone Profile window (Device > Device Settings > Common Phone Profile), and in the Phone Configuration window (Device > Phone).
TipFrom the drop-down list box, choose how the phone will support the services:
•
Choose this option or Both for Cisco-provided default services where the Service URL has not been updated; that is, the service URL indicates Application:Cisco/<name of service>; for example, Application:Cisco/CorporateDirectory. (See Table 12.)
Choose Internal or Both for Cisco-signed Java MIDlets because Cisco-signed Java MIDlets are provisioned in the configuration file.
•
If you configured a custom Service URL for a service, including a Cisco-provided default service in Table 12, you must choose either External URL or Both; if you choose Internal in this case, the services that are associated with the custom URLs do not work on the phone.
•
If you have phones in your network that can obtain the service information from the phone configuration file and phones in your network that can only use custom service URLs for obtaining the information, choose Both.
Tip
Service Parameter and Enterprise Parameter Changes
You can configure the Services Provisioning enterprise parameter, which applies the configuration to all phones in the cluster that support IP phone services. (In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose System > Enterprise Parameter.)
BAT Considerations
If you want to do so, you can configure the Service Provisioning setting in the Phone Template Configuration window in the Bulk Administration Tool. You can also choose the Service Provisioning setting in the Create Phone File Format Configuration window.

Consider the following process, which indicates how the phone supports XML services and Cisco-signed Java MIDlets:
1.
2.
3.
Be aware that the phone reserves 2 MB of total flash space for all Cisco-signed Java MIDlets. Individual JAR files are limited to 512 KB. If the file size exceeds this value, the phone fails to install the Cisco-signed Java MIDlet. Additionally, the phone automatically uninstalls the Cisco-signed Java MIDlet under the following circumstances:
•
•
•
•
Firmware load 8.4(1) (or later) supports the functionality that is described in the "Documentation for Enhanced IP Phone Services Incomplete" section.

Tip
How the Number of Client Matter Codes Affect System Start Up Time
The Interactions and Restrictions section of the "Client Matter Codes and Forced Authorization Codes" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide omits the following information:
Because the number of CMCs directly impacts the time that is required for Cisco Unified Communications Manager to start up, limit the number of CMCs to 60,000. If you configure more CMCs than that, expect significant delays. For example, a system with 400,000 CMCs requires approximately 1 hour to start up; a system with 1 million CMCs requires approximately 4 hours to start up.
