Revised: October 22, 2009

This chapter contains commands to configure and maintain Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (formally known as Cisco Unified CallManager Express). The commands are presented in alphabetical order. Some commands required for configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (Cisco Unified CME) may be found in other Cisco IOS references. Use the reference master index or search online to find these commands.

upa

To specify the audio file used for the unauthorized precedence announcement, use the upa command in voice MLPP configuration mode. To disable use of this audio file, use the no form of this command.

upa audio-url

no upa

Syntax Description

audio-url

Location of the announcement audio file in URL format. Valid storage locations are TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and flash memory.

Command Default

Command Modes

Voice MLPP configuration (config-voice-mlpp)

Command History

Cisco IOS Release	Cisco Product	Modification
15.0(1)XA	Cisco Unified CME 8.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command specifies the G.711 a-law or u-law 8-KHz encoded audio file (.wav or .au format) for the announcement that plays to callers when they attempt to make a precedence call by using a higher level of precedence than the highest precedence level that is authorized for their line.

The mlpp indication command must be enabled (default) for a phone to play precedence announcements.

This command is not supported by Cisco IOS help. If you type ?, Cisco IOS help does not display a list of valid entries.

Examples

The following example shows the unauthorized precedence announcement plays the file named upa.au located in flash:

Router(config)# voice mlpp

Router(config-voice-mlpp)# upa flash:upa.au

Related Commands

Command	Description
bnea	Specifies the audio file used for the busy station not equipped for preemption announcement.
ica	Specifies the audio file used for the isolated code announcement.
vca	Specifies the audio file used for the vacant code announcement.
mlpp indication	Enables MLPP indication on an SCCP phone or analog FXS port.
mlpp preemption	Enables preemption capability on an SCCP phone or analog FXS port.

upgrade (voice register global)

To generate a OS79XX.TXT file for firmware upgrades, use the upgrade command in voice register global configuration mode. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.

upgrade

no upgrade

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

No OS79XX.TXT file generated.

Command Modes

Voice register global configuration (config-register-global)

Command History

Cisco IOS Release	Cisco Product	Modification
12.4(4)T	Cisco CME 3.4	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The upgrade command performs the TFTP server alias binding, which can be verified with the show voice register tftp-bind command.

Examples

The following example shows the use of the upgrade command to upgrade Cisco SIP phone firmware from SIP [456].x to SIP [567].y with comments:

Router(config)# voice register global

Router(config-register-global)# load 7960-7940 P00x... !Do not use file extension.

Router(config-register-global)# upgrade                 !Generates OS79XX.txt file.

Router(config-register-global)# load 7960-7940 POSx... !Do not use file extension. This

                                                       ! is only required if you

                                                       !are upgrading to 7.y.

Router(config-register-global)# create profile  !Generates SIPDefault.cnf and other files.

Router(config-register-global)# reset

Router(config-register-global)# no upgrade  !Returns to default condition.

 

The P00x... and P0Sx... firmware filenames are required because the content in OS79XX.TXT is different from image_version tag in SIPDefault.cnf.

Usage Guidelines

This command specifies to which authentication server an IP phone in Cisco Unified CME must send requests for authorization and what credential to send in the request.

For Extension Mobility, use this command to instruct Extension Mobility phones to send an HTTP GET/POST to request authorization from the Cisco Unified CME authentication server before clearing call history when a user logs out.

For Extension Mobility, no additional commands are required to create or save the credential. The credential for the EM manager in Cisco Unified CME is whatever values you specifiy by using this command.

For applications other than Extension Mobility, the requisite credential must be created in the application.

To use the authentication server in Cisco Unified CME 4.3 and later versions to authorize requests for applications other than Extension Mobility, you must also configure the authentication credential command in telephony-service configuration mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure this command to instruct Extension Mobility phones in Cisco Unified CME to request authorization from the internal authentication server. The phones include the specified credential (extmob psswrd) in the requests.

Router(config)# telephony-service

Router(config-telephony)# url authentication http://192.0.2.0/CCMCIP/authenticate.asp extmob psswrd

15.0(1)XA	Cisco Unified CME 8.0	This command was modified. Support for the root keyword was added to this command.

Usage Guidelines

Cisco Unified IP Phones can support URLs in association with the four programmable feature buttons on those IP phones: Directories, Information, Messages, and Services. The fifth button, Settings, is managed entirely by the phone. Operation of these services is determined by the Cisco Unified IP phone capabilities and the content of the referenced URL.

This command provisions URLs through the configuration file supplied by the Cisco Unified CME router to the Cisco Unified IP phones during phone registration.

---

Note Cisco Unified CME does not support provisioning an information URL to access help using the i or ? buttons on a phone.

---

To use a Cisco Unified CallManager directory as an external directory source for Cisco Unified CME phones, the Cisco Unified CallManager must be made aware of the phones. You must list the MAC addresses of the Cisco Unified CME phones in the Cisco Unified CallManager and reset the phones from the Cisco Unified CallManager. It is not necessary for you to assign ephone-dns to the phones or for the phones to register with Cisco Unified CallManager.

---

Note Provisioning of the directory URL to select an external directory resource disables the Cisco Unified CME local directory service.

---

You can disable the local directory by using the no service local-directory command.

This command must be followed by a complete phone reboot using the reset command.

Examples

The following example provisions the Directories and Services buttons. Note that the Messages button is configured by the voicemail command. The Messages button acts like a speed-dial key to retrieve messages from a specified telephone number.

Router(config)# telephony-service

Router(config-telephony)# url directories http://1.4.212.11/localdirectory

Router(config-telephony)# url services http://1.4.212.4/CCMUser/123456/urltest.html

Related Commands

reset (ephone)	Performs a complete reboot of one phone associated with a Cisco Unified CME router.
reset (telephony-service)	Performs a complete reboot of one or all phones associated with a Cisco Unified CME router.
service local-directory	Enables the availability of the local directory service on IP phones.
voicemail	Defines the telephone number that is speed-dialed when the Messages button on a Cisco Unified IP phone is pressed.

url (voice register global)

To provision uniform resource locators (URLs) for feature buttons on Cisco SIP IP phones connected to a Cisco Unified CME router, use the url command in voice register global configuration mode. To remove a URL association, use the no form of this command.

url {directory | service} url

no url {directory | service}

Syntax Description

directory	Uses the information at the specified URL for the Directories button display.
service	Uses the information at the specified URL for the Services button display.
url	URL as defined in RFC 2396.

Command Default

The router automatically uses the local directory service.

Command Modes

Voice register global configuration (config-register-global)

Command History

Cisco IOS Release	Cisco Product	Modification
12.4(4)T	Cisco CME 3.4	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940 and 7940G and Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960 and 7960G can support two URLs in association with two programmable feature buttons: Directories and Services. Operation of these services is determined by the Cisco IP phone capabilities and the content of the specified URL. The Settings button is managed entirely by the phone. The Messages button is configured by the voicemail command.

The purpose of the url command is to provision the URLs through the configuration file supplied by the Cisco Unified CME router to the SIP phones during phone registration.

You can disable the local directory by specifying the string "none" instead of a URL with the directory keyword, as shown in the following example:

Router(config)# voice register global

Router(config-register-global)# url directory none

---

Note Provisioning the directory URL to select an external directory resource disables Cisco Unified CME local directory service.

---

After you configure this command, restart the phone by using the reset command.

Examples

The following example shows how to provision the Directories and Services buttons:

Router(config)# voice register global

Router(config-register-global)# url directory http://1.4.212.11/localdirectory

Router(config-register-global)# url service http://1.4.212.4/CCMUser/123456/urltest.html

12.4(15)XY	Cisco Unified CME 4.2(1)	This command was introduced.
12.4(15)XZ	Cisco Unified CME 4.3	This command was introduced.
12.4(20)T	Cisco Unified CME 7.0	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T.

Usage Guidelines

This command displays the information at up to eight URLs for the Services feature button display on a supported Cisco Unified IP phone. Operation of these services is determined by the capabilities of the Cisco Unified IP phone and the content of the specified URL.

If you use an ephone template to apply this command to one or SCCP phones and you also use the url command in telephony-service configuration mode to configure a services url for all SCCP phones, the value set in telephony-service configuration mode appears first in the list of options displayed when the phone user presses the Services feature button, before any URLs configured by using this command. Cisco Unified CME self-hosted services, such as Extension Mobility, always appears last in the list of options displayed for the Services feature button.

The number of url-name characters that appear on the IP phone display is not fixed because IP phones typically use a proportional font.

After creating an ephone template that contains a services URL, use the ephone-template (ephone) command to apply the template to individual phones.

Examples

The following example defines three urls for the Services feature button display, one for all SCCP phones and two others in an ephone-template that is applied to individual phones. Phones to which the template is applied (ephones 11 and 13) will have a second and third option in the Services feature button display.

Usage Guidelines

This command sets the language for displays on supported phone types.

The show telephony-service tftp-bindings command displays the locale that is set using this command. This locale is associated with the dictionary and language files.

Follow this command with a complete phone reboot using the reset command.

User-locale 0 always holds the default language that is used for all SCCP phones that are not assigned alternative user locales or user-defined user locales. The system default is US (United States) unless you use this command to designate a different locale for user-locale 0.

Alternative User Locales

In Cisco Unified CME 4.0 or a later version, the user-locale-tag argument allows you to specify up to five alternative user locales. For example, a company can specify French for phones A, B, and C; German for phones D, E, and F; and United States for phones G, H, and I.

Each of the five user locales that you can use in a multi locale system is identified with the user-locale-tag argument. The identifier 0 always holds the default locale, although you can define this default to be any language code that is supported in the system and is listed in CLI help for the command. For example, if you define locale-tag 0 to be JP (Japanese), the default user locale for the router is JP. If you do not specify a locale for identifier 0, the default is US (United States). If you are using this command to configure a default locale for all SCCP phones in your system, you are not required to include user-locale-tag 0 in the command.

To apply alternative user locales to different phones, you must use the cnf-files command to specify per-phone configuration files. When you use per-phone configuration files, a phone's configuration file automatically uses the default locales in user locale 0 and network locale 0. You can override this default for individual ephones by assigning locale tags to the alternative language codes that you want to use. Use ephone templates to assign the locale tag to individual ephones. For example, you can assign user-locale-tag 2 to the language code RU (Russian).

Use the user-locale command in ephone-template mode to apply a locale tag to an ephone template. Use the ephone-template command in ephone configuration mode to apply the template a phones that should use the alternative language.

User-Defined User Locales

In Cisco Unified CME 4.0 and later versions, you can install XML files to support up to five user and network locales that are not standard in your system. These files cannot be installed in the system storage location. To support user-defined locales, you must use the cnf-files perphone and cnf-file location commands and copy the appropriate XML language files into slot 0, flash, or TFTP memory. The user locales and network locales that are stored in this way can then be used as default or alternative entries for all or some phones.

For example, if you have a site at which the phones should use the displays and tones for Traditional Chinese, which is not one of the standard languages, you must download the XML files for Traditional Chinese to use this user-defined locale on a phone.

Locale Installer

In Cisco Unified CME 7.0(1) and later versions, this command with the load keyword is a locale installer that extracts the contents of the locale TAR file to the location specified by the cnf-file location command. Before Cisco Unified CME 7.0(1), you had to manually extract the files to flash, slot 0, or an external TFTP server.

Before using this command as a locale installer, you must manually create the required locale folders in the root directory of the external TFTP server.

Examples

The following example sets the default language tag for the IP phone display to French:

telephony-service

 user-locale FR

The following example sets the default language tag for the IP phone display to French. It shows another way to change the default:

telephony-service

 user-locale 0 FR

The following example sets the alternative language tag 1 to German:

telephony-service

 user-locale 1 DE

Cisco Unified CME 4.0 and Later Versions: Alternative User Locale

The following example defines three alternative locales: JP (Japan), FR (France), and ES (Spain). The default is US for all phones that do not have the alternatives applied using ephone templates. In this example, ephone 11 uses JP for its locales, ephone 12 uses FR, ephone 13 uses ES, and ephone 14 uses the default, US.

Cisco Unified CME 4.0 and Later Versions: User-Defined User Locale

The following example applies locale tag 4 to the user-defined code U1, which is defined as ZH. ZH is the code that represents Traditional Chinese in ISO 639, the Language Code Reference. Because the code for Traditional Chinese is not one of those that is provided in the system, the user must download the appropriate XML files to support this language.

In addition to the user-defined code, the example defines three alternative locales: JP (Japan), FR (France), and ES (Spain). The default is US for all phones that do not have the alternatives applied using ephone templates. In this example, ephone 11 uses JP for its locales; ephone 12 uses FR; ephone 13 uses ES; ephone 14 uses the default, US; and ephone 15 uses the user-defined language, ZH (Traditional Chinese).

Cisco Unified CME 7.0(1) and Later Versions: Using Locale Installer

The following example is the output from the user-locale command when the user-defined locale is on the default locale index (0) and the country-code is U2 for user-defined Finnish. The contents of the TAR file are extracted to flash, slot 0, or a TFTP server as previously specified by the cnf-file location command.
