Hunt Groups
|
Agent status control—Hunt group agents can put their phones in a not-ready state to temporarily suspend the receiving of hunt group calls by using the HLog soft key. A new FAC can toggle ready and not-ready state.
Automatic agent not-ready status—The criterion for placing a hunt group agent into not-ready status (previously called automatic logout) was changed. If an agent does not answer the number of consecutive hunt-group calls that you specify in the auto logout command, the agent's ephone-dn is put into not-ready status (logged out) and will not receive further hunt group calls.
Call hold statistics—New fields describing the length of time that calls spend in the hold state are in the statistical reports for Cisco Unified CME B-ACD applications. See the show ephone-hunt statistics command and the hunt-group report url command in Cisco Unified CME B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications.
Dynamic hunt group membership—Agents can join or leave a hunt group using standard or custom FACs when wildcard slots are configured for hunt groups and the agents' ephone-dns are authorized to join hunt groups.
Change in hops command default—The maximum number of hops allowed by a hunt group is automatically adjusted to reflect the dynamically changing number of members.
Enhanced display of ephone hunt-group information—A text string can be added to provide information in configuration output and to display on IP phones when a hunt-group call is ringing or answered, or when all hunt-group members are logged out.
Local call forwarding restriction in sequential ephone hunt groups—In sequential ephone-hunt groups, local (internal) calls to the hunt group can be prevented from being forwarded beyond the first ephone-dn in the hunt group.
|
Configuring Call-Coverage Features
|
| |
Hunt Groups
|
Longest-idle hunt group improvement—The from-ring command specifies that on-hook time stamps should be updated when a call rings an agent and when a call is answered by an agent.
Maximum number of agents per hunt group has increased from 10 to 20. No special configuration is required.
Maximum number of hunt groups per Cisco Unified CME system has increased from 10 to 100. No special configuration is required.
No-answer timeout enhancements—No-answer timeouts in ephone hunt groups can be set individually for each ephone-dn in the list. A maximum cumulative no-answer timeout can be also be set.
Restricting presentation of calls to idle or on-hook phones—The presentation of hunt group calls can be restricted to hunt-group members on phones that are idle or on-hook. This enhancement considers all lines on the phone, both members of the hunt group and nonmembers, when restricting presentation of hunt group calls.
Return to a secondary destination in an ephone hunt group after call park—Calls parked by hunt group agents can be returned to a different entry point in the hunt group.
Return to transferring party on no answer in an ephone hunt group—A call that was transferred into a hunt group and was not answered can be returned to the party that transferred it to the hunt group instead of being sent to voice mail or another final destination.

|
Music on Hold
|
Music on hold (MOH) for internal calls—Internal callers (those making calls between extensions in the same Cisco Unified CME system) hear music when they are on hold or are being transferred. The mulitcast moh command must be used to enable the flow of packets to the subnet on which the phones are located.
Internal extensions that are connected through an analog voice gateway or through a WAN (remote extensions) do not hear MOH on internal calls.
The ability to disable multicast MOH per phone was introduced, using the no multicast-moh command in ephone or ephone-template configuration mode.

Overlaid Ephone-dns
|
Overlaid ephone-dns—The maximum number of overlaid ephone-dns per ephone button has increased from 10 to 25. No special configuration is required.
Overlaid ephone-dn call-waiting display—The number of waiting calls that can be displayed for overlaid ephone-dns that have call waiting configured has been increased to six for the Cisco IP Phone 7940G, 7941G, 7941G-GE, 7960G, 7961G, 7961G-GE, 7970G, and 7971G-GE.
The overlaid ephone-dns must be configured on the phone using the button command and the c keyword.
Overlaid ephone-dn call overflow to other buttons—One or more buttons can be dedicated to serve as expansion, or overflow, buttons for another button on the same Cisco Unified IP phone that has overlaid ephone-dns. A call to an overlay button that is busy with an active call will roll over to the next available expansion button.

|
Configuring Speed Dial
|
| |
System-Level Parameters
|
Disabling automatic phone registration—Normally, Cisco Unified CME allocates an ephone slot to any ephone that connects to the system. To prevent unauthorized registrations, the no auto-reg-ephone command prevents any ephone from registering with Cisco Unified CME if its MAC address is not explicitly listed in the configuration.
External storage of configuration files and per-phone configuration files—Phone configuration files can be stored on an external TFTP server to offload the TFTP server function of the Cisco Unified CME router. This additional storage space permits the use of per-phone configuration files, which can be used to specify different user locales and network locales for phones.
Failover to Redundant Router—Sites can be set up with a primary and secondary Cisco Unified CME router to provide redundant Cisco Unified CME capability. Phones automatically register at the secondary router if the primary router fails and later rehome to the primary router when it is operational again.
|
Configuring System-Level Parameters
|
Templates
|
Maximum number of ephone templates that can be defined has increased from 5 to 20. No special configuration is required.
New commands available for ephone templates—Ephone templates were previously introduced to allow system administrators to control the display of soft keys in various call states on individual ephones. Their role has been expanded to allow you to define a set of ephone parameter values that can be assigned to one or more phones in a single step.
Ephone-dn templates are introduced to allow administrators to easily apply sets of configured parameters to individual ephone-dns. Up to 15 ephone-dn templates can be defined.

Video support for SCCP-based endpoints—This feature adds video support to allow you to pass a video stream with a voice call, between video-capable SCCP endpoints and between SCCP and H.323 endpoints. Through the Cisco Unified CME router, the video-capable endpoints can communicate with each other locally, to a remote H.323 endpoint through a gateway, or through an H.323 network.

Voice Mail
|
Line-selectable MWI—Previously, the message-waiting indication (MWI) lamp on a phone could only indicate when messages were waiting for the primary number on a phone. Now any phone line can be designated during configuration.
Mailbox selection policy for voice-mail servers—A policy can be set for selecting the mailbox to use for calls that are diverted one or more times within a Cisco Unified CME system before being sent to a Cisco Unity Express, Cisco Unity, or PBX voice-mail pilot number.
Prefix option for SIP unsolicited MWI Notify messages—Central voice-message servers that provide mailboxes for multiple Cisco Unified CME sites may use site codes or prefixes to distinguish among similarly numbered ranges of extensions at different sites.
You can specify the prefix for your site so that central mailbox numbers are correctly converted to your extension numbers.
