About Cisco Mobile

Cisco Mobile provides iPhone users with voice over IP (VoIP) calling, visual voicemail, and access to the corporate directory while users are connected to the corporate network over Wi-Fi, either on premises or over VPN.

Cisco Mobile is an IP telephony endpoint that is configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. It is distinct from the Cisco Mobile application that runs in conjunction with a Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage server.

Features of Cisco Mobile include the ability to:

Place and receive VoIP calls from a corporate phone number through Cisco Unified Communications Manager using an iPhone, while Cisco Mobile is running and connected to the corporate network.

Receive calls at the standard mobile phone number when Cisco Mobile is not running or not connected to the corporate network.

Have multiple VoIP calls (call waiting, add new call, swap between active calls).

Use many of the standard in-call features that Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides, including hold, transfer,conference, and park.

Automatically launch VPN if the corporate Wi-Fi network is not directly available.

Transfer an active call from the desk phone to Cisco Mobile and vice versa.

Handoff an active Cisco MobileVoIP call to your standard mobile network.

Dial numbers by raising the iPhone to the ear and speaking the name of the person to call.

Search the corporate directory.

Access voicemail through a visual list.

Run in the background, and automatically register to Cisco Unified Communications Manager when available, and remain ready to receive calls to the work phone number.

(Cisco Mobile 8.1) Use a Bluetooth headset on iPhones.

Enter the following command from the CLI:

utils service restart Cisco Tomcat

k. Let the system fully return to service.

Step 4 Install the COP file on each Subscriber server in the cluster. Use the same process you used for the Publisher, including rebooting the server.

To avoid interruptions in service, make sure each server has returned to active service before you perform this procedure on another server.


How to Set Up Dial Rules

Suggested Application Dial Rules and Directory Lookup Rules

How to Make Application Dial Rules and Directory Lookup Rules Available to Cisco Mobile

Suggested Application Dial Rules and Directory Lookup Rules

Because people are accustomed to dialing numbers differently from a mobile phone than from an office phone, consider setting up Cisco Unified Communications Manager to accommodate the different number patterns that mobile phone users will dial.

You can create these rules in Cisco Unified Communications Manager so that they apply to all calls and devices; or edit an XML file, described later, so that the rules apply only to users of Cisco Mobile or so that different rules apply to devices in different countries or area codes.

For example, users may dial numbers as follows:

Mobile phone users may not be in the habit of dialing 9 before they dial a number outside the company.

If the mobile phone number is in a different area code than the desk phone number, users may dial area codes when using their mobile phone when they would not include the area code when dialing from office phones, and vice versa.

Mobile phone users who dial an international number may begin the number with a plus sign (+).

You can set up Application Dial Rules to successfully connect calls that are dialed to the type of numbers above, and set up Directory Lookup Rules to identify calls dialed to and from these numbers, if applicable.

Consider the following:

Create your rules so that only one rule can apply to each phone number, or order the rules so that the intended number matches before any other possible match. For example, list 54321 before 543 to ensure that 54321 does not match 543 instead of 54321.

For Caller ID, the name in the main iPhone Address Book is displayed instead of any name provided by Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Microsoft Active Directory.

For complete information about setting up Application Dial rules and Directory Lookup rules, see the online help in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

If you need to create rules that apply only to Cisco Mobile and not to all clients that use the XML files to access dial rules, you can enter them manually as XML text directly into the file that makes the rules available to Cisco Mobile. You will generate this file in a procedure later in this section.

(Optional) Modify the Rules Files as Needed

How to Enable Transfer of Active Calls from VoIP to the Mobile Network

How to Make Application Dial Rules and Directory Lookup Rules Available to Cisco Mobile

Perform this series of procedures to make all of your existing Application Dial Rules and Directory Lookup Rules available to Cisco Mobile.

You will use a Cisco Options Package (COP) file that is also used for this purpose for other Cisco products.


Note This COP file is different from the device COP file described elsewhere in this document.


This series of procedures installs required XML files in a folder called CUPC at the root level of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager TFTP server. If you need different rules for Cisco Mobile than for other clients that use this file, use the optional procedure to copy and modify the XML file to create a dedicated file for Cisco Mobile.

If you have deployed other Cisco telephony clients and integrations, you may have performed this series of procedures already.


Note Every time you update the Application Dial Rules or Directory Lookup Rules on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you must repeat this series of procedures to make the changes available to clients including Cisco Mobile.


Perform the following procedures in order:

Obtaining the COP File

Generating Copies of the Dial Rules

Verifying that Copies of the Dial Rules Were Generated

(Optional) Modify the Rules Files as Needed

Restarting the TFTP Service

Obtaining the COP File

Procedure


Step 1 Go to the Software Downloads page for Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator at http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/Redirect.x?mdfid=282588075.

Step 2 Select the release number that most closely matches your Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.

Step 3 Look for the bundle that contains the Administration Toolkit.

Step 4 Click Download Now.

Step 5 Follow the instructions on the screen.

Step 6 Unzip the downloaded file.

Step 7 Locate the dial rules COP file in the CUCM folder.

You do not need any other files in this download.

Step 8 Place the dial rules COP file on a server that is accessible by SFTP.


Generating Copies of the Dial Rules

Procedure


Step 1 Sign in to the Publisher server in your Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.

Step 2 In the top-right corner of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration portal, select Cisco Unified OS Administration, then select Go.

Step 3 Select Software Upgrades > Install/Upgrade.

Step 4 Specify the location of the dial rules COP file in the Software Installation/Upgrade window.

Step 5 Select Next.

Step 6 From the Available Software list box, select the COP file.

Step 7 Select Next.

Step 8 Select Install.

Step 9 Repeat this procedure for every Cisco Unified Communications Manager server that runs a TFTP server.


Verifying that Copies of the Dial Rules Were Generated

Procedure


Step 1 In the Cisco Unified Operating System Administration portal, select Software Upgrades > TFTP File Management.

Step 2 In the TFTP File Management window, search for a directory that begins with CUPC.

Step 3 Verify that the following files are found:

AppDialRules.xml

DirLookupDialRules.xml


(Optional) Modify the Rules Files as Needed

You may want to modify the dial rules or directory lookup rules files for use by Cisco Mobile. For example:

You may require rules that are unique to Cisco Mobile and are not used for any other clients.

You may need to create multiple files and assign different rules to the Cisco Mobile device of each user. For example, if users have mobile phones that are issued in different countries or area codes and your existing rules are not designed to accommodate the way users may dial numbers or stored contacts from phones based in multiple countries or area codes.

Before You Begin

Using the guidelines in Suggested Application Dial Rules and Directory Lookup Rules, determine the Application Dial Rules and Directory Lookup Rules you will need.

If you do not know how to use the TFTP server on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, see the following documents for your release:

Instructions for managing TFTP server files in the Software Upgrades chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Operating System Administration Guide

The Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions.

These documents are available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.

Procedure


Step 1 Navigate to the CUPC folder at the root level of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager TFTP server.

Step 2 Copy either or both of the files you want to modify for Cisco Mobile:

AppDialRules.xml

DirLookupDialRules.xml

For example, using the built-in TFTP client on a PC or Macintosh, enter the following commands:

tftp <server>

get CUPC/AppDialRules.xml

Step 3 Rename the file as needed.

For example, AppDialRulesFrance.xml.

Step 4 Open the files in a text editor.

Step 5 Following the example of the existing rules, modify or add rules as needed.

Step 6 Save your changes.

Step 7 Upload the modified files.


Note Important: Note the path and filenames. You will need this information later.


a. From the list box at the top-right of the window, select Cisco Unified OS Administration.

b. Select Software Upgrade > TFTP File Management.

c. Select the file on your hard drive.

d. Specify the directory on the TFTP server.

For example, ciscomobile.

e. Select Upload.

Step 8 Repeat for any other rules files that you need to customize.


What To Do Next

After you complete and upload all customized Dial Rules files, continue with the next procedure in this section.

When you add Cisco Mobile devices to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you must specify the path to these dial rules files, including the filenames. If you move or rename these files, make sure to update this path on the configuration page for each deployed device. See the instructions for dial rules files in the table in Adding the Device for a User.

Restarting the TFTP Service

Perform this procedure at a time of low usage, as it may interrupt service.

For more information, see the "Starting, Stopping, Restarting, and Refreshing Status of Services in Control Center" topic in the Cisco Unified Serviceability Administration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.

Step 2 Select Tools > Control Center—Feature Services.

Step 3 Select the server, then select Go.

Step 4 Select Cisco Tftp, then select Restart.

Step 5 Repeat this procedure on every server on which you ran this COP file.


Ensuring the Success of Calls to Cisco Mobile

To ensure that calls to the Cisco Mobile extension are not prematurely routed to the native mobile service provider phone number, increase the SIP Dual Mode Alert Timer.

Cisco Mobile must be running to receive VoIP calls.

Procedure


Step 1 Sign in to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration portal.

Step 2 Select System > Service Parameters.

Step 3 Select the server.

Step 4 Select the Cisco CallManager (Active) service.

Step 5 Scroll to the Clusterwide Parameters (System - Mobility) section.

Adding Mobile Connect (Single Number Reach) and a Mobile Identity

Mobile Connect (formerly known as Single Number Reach) allows the native mobile phone number to ring when someone calls the office number while Cisco Mobile is not available.

When Cisco Mobile is running and connected to the corporate network, and thus available to receive VoIP calls, Mobile Connect is automatically inactivated.

A Mobile Identity (Mobility Identity) is required to transfer calls from VoIP in Cisco Mobile to the mobile network (GSM).

Procedure


Step 1 Sign in to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration portal.

Step 2 Search for and delete any existing Remote Destination or Mobile Identity that is already set up with the mobile phone number.

Step 3 Navigate to the End User page for the user.

a. Select Enable Mobility.

b. Specify the Primary User Device.

c. Select Save.

Step 4 Navigate to the Cisco Dual Mode for iPhone device page.

a. Enter information:

Rerouting Calling Search Space

If your Cisco Unified Communications Manager has custom partitions and multiple calling search spaces, select a Rerouting Calling Search Space that includes the partition that applies to the mobile phone number, which you will enter as a Mobile Identity.


b. Select Save.

Step 5 Add a new Mobile Identity with the mobile phone number:

a. Navigate to the Cisco Dual Mode for iPhone device page.

b. Select Add a New Mobile Identity.

c. Enter the mobile phone number as the Destination Number.

This number must be routable to an outbound gateway. Generally, it will be the full E.164 number.

For iPod touch or iPad users, you can enter the phone number of a different device, for example any mobile phone.

d. Enter initial values for call timers.

These values ensure that calls are not routed to the native iPhone voice mail before they ring in the client on the mobile phone.

For more information, see the online help in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Setting

This accommodates the relatively long call setup times that are characteristic of mobile calls.


e. Select Enable Mobile Connect.

f. Set up the schedule for routing calls to the mobile number.

g. Select Save.


What To Do Next

Test your settings: Exit Cisco Mobile on the phone. Then call the Cisco Mobile extension from another phone. The native mobile network phone number should ring and the call should connect when you answer it.

How to Enable Transfer of Active Calls from VoIP to the Mobile Network

Users can move an active VoIP call from Cisco Mobile to their mobile phone number on the mobile network. This is useful when a user on a call leaves the Wi-Fi network (for example, leaving the building to walk out to the car), or if there are voice quality issues over the Wi-Fi network. This feature is called Use mobile network in the Cisco Mobile application.

There are several ways to implement this feature. You can also disable it.

Implementation Method
Implications
Instructions

Handoff DN

The iPhone calls Cisco Unified Communications Manager using the mobile network.

This method requires a Direct Inward Dial (DID) number.

The service provider must deliver the DID digits exactly as configured. Alternately, for Cisco IOS gateways with H.323 or SIP communication to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you can use Cisco IOS to manipulate the inbound called party number at the gateway, presenting the digits to Cisco Unified Communications Manager exactly as configured on the Handoff number.

If you select this implementation method and it fails, the system automatically tries the Mobility Softkey and Call Park methods, in order.

This method will not work for iPod touch or iPad devices.

See Transferring Calls to the Mobile Network Phone Number: Implementing the Handoff Method

Mobility Softkey

Cisco Unified Communications Manager calls the iPhone PSTN mobile service provider phone number.

If you select this implementation method and it fails, the system automatically tries the Call Park method.

See Transferring Calls to the Mobile Service Provider Phone Number: Checklist for Implementing the Mobility Softkey Method

Call Park

Cisco Mobile attempts this method only if an attempt to use other methods fails.

In the Call Park method, the iPhone makes a mobile network call to a Park number to retrieve the call.

This method requires a DID number.

This method will not work for iPod touch or iPad devices.

Set up Call Park for the system. See the Call Park chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.

Set the Call Park Number in Call Routing > Call Park to be an E.164 (Direct Inward Dial, or DID) number.

None of the above

Disable this feature if you do not want to make it available to users.

Select Disabled for the Transfer to Mobile Network option in the "Product Specific Configuration Layout" section of the Cisco Dual Mode for iPhone device page.

Checklist of Additional User and Device Settings for the Handoff Method

Setting up the Handoff Number

Before You Begin

Determine required values. The values you will choose depend on the phone number that the gateway passes (for example, 7 digits or 10 digits).

Procedure


Step 1 Sign in to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration portal.

Step 2 Select Call Routing > Mobility Configuration.

Step 3 Enter values for the following settings:

Setting
Description

Handoff Number

Enter the Direct Inward Dial (DID) number that the iPhone will dial to handoff a VoIP call to the mobile network. The service provider must deliver the DID digits exactly as configured. Alternately, for Cisco IOS gateways with H.323 or SIP communication to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you can use Cisco IOS to manipulate the inbound called party number at the gateway, presenting the digits to Cisco Unified Communications Manager exactly as configured on the Handoff number.

If the number is preceded by a plus sign (+), precede the plus sign with a backslash (\). For example, \+14085551234. Check the online help for this page in Cisco Unified Communications Manager to be sure that your release supports the plus sign.


Note You cannot use translation patterns or other similar manipulations within Cisco Unified Communications Manager to match the inbound DID digits to the configured Handoff DN.


Handoff Number Partition

Select the partition to which the handoff direct inward dial (DID) belongs.

This partition should be present in the Remote Destination inbound Calling Search Space, which points either to the inbound Calling Search Space of the Gateway or Trunk or to the Remote Destination Calling Search Space.


Remaining options on this page are not used for this feature.

Step 4 Select Save.


Matching Caller ID with the Mobile Identity

To ensure that only authorized phones can initiate outbound calls, such calls must be initiated from a phone that is set up in the system. To do this, the system attempts to match the Caller ID of the requesting phone number with an existing Mobile Identity (Mobility Identity).

By default, when a device initiates the Handoff feature, the Caller ID that is passed from the gateway to Cisco Unified Communications Manager must exactly match the Mobile Identity number that you entered for that device.

However, your system may be set up such that these numbers will not match exactly. For example, Mobile Identity numbers may include a country code while Caller ID does not. If so, you must set up the system to recognize a partial match.

Be sure to account for situations in which, for example, the same phone number may exist in different area codes or in different countries. Also, be aware that service providers may identify calls with a variable number of digits, which may impact partial matching. For example, local calls may be identified using 7 digits (such as 555 1234) while out-of-area calls may be identified using 10 digits (such as 408 555 6789).

Before You Begin

Set up the Mobile Identity. See Adding Mobile Connect (Single Number Reach) and a Mobile Identity.

Determine whether you need to complete this procedure:

Use the iPhone to dial in to the system and compare the Caller ID value with the Destination Number in the Mobile Identity. If the numbers do not match, you must perform this procedure. Repeat this procedure for iPhones issued in all expected locales and area codes.

Procedure


Step 1 Sign in to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration portal.

Step 2 Select System > Service Parameters.

Step 3 Select the active server.

Step 4 Select the Cisco CallManager (Active) service.

Step 5 Scroll down to the Clusterwide Parameters (System - Mobility) section.

Step 6 Select Matching Caller ID with Remote Destination and read essential information about this value.

Step 7 Select Partial Match for Matching Caller ID with Remote Destination.

Step 8 Select Number of Digits for Caller ID Partial Match and read the essential requirements for this value.

Step 9 Enter the required number of digits to ensure partial matches.

Step 10 Select Save.


Checklist of Additional User and Device Settings for the Handoff Method

For each user and device, do the following:

Set up the user and device in Cisco Unified Communications Manager as described earlier in this document, including creating the Mobile Identity.

Enable LDAP User Authentication

If users will need to enter an LDAP password in the client, select Enabled.

If users do not need to enter LDAP credentials in the client, select Disabled.

 

LDAP Username

Do one of the following:

Enter credentials for a single read-only account that all users will use to access Active Directory. These credentials will be sent in clear text in the TFTP file. Users will not need to enter credentials into Cisco Mobile.

Enter a username with access to the directory and leave the password blank. You must give the password to each user and tell users to enter the password into the settings in Cisco Mobile.

If authentication is not required, leave these settings blank.

By default, the LDAP Username is the userPrincipalName (UPN) and may be in the form of an email address (userid@example.com).

 

LDAP Password

LDAP Server

(include the port number)

Enable LDAP SSL

For the LDAP server, enter the hostname or IP address and port of your Active Directory server. Global catalog must be enabled, so use port 3269 for secure (SSL) connections and 3268 for nonsecure connections.

Use the format YourDirectoryServer.YourCompany.com:portnumber.

By default, if you enter no port or SSL settings, Cisco Mobile attempts an SSL connection to port 3269.

 

LDAP Search Base

By default, this application uses the search base found in a RootDSE search on the defaultNamingContext attribute.

If you need to specify a different search base, enter the Distinguished Name of the root node in your corporate directory that contains user information. Use the lowest node that includes the necessary names. Using a higher node will create a larger search base and thus reduce performance if the directory is very large.

Enter the LDAP Search Base using the following format:

Setting Up Automatic VPN Access

Cisco Mobile can automatically launch VPN if:

The corporate network is not directly available when users launch Cisco Mobile and

The iPhone can connect using VPN, and

You satisfy the requirements and complete the procedure in this topic.

Before You Begin

The iPhone must be set up for on-demand access to VPN with certificate-based authentication. For assistance with setting up VPN access for iPhone, contact the providers of your VPN client and head end.

For iPhones running iOS 4, consider using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Apple iOS. For the Cisco AnyConnect VPN solution, the following are required:

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance minimum release is 8.2.3.6, 8.3.2.7, and 8.4.

Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client, Release 2.4.4009 or higher.

For information about setting up AnyConnect, see

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps8411/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.


Note Cisco AnyConnect is supported over WiFi only.


Not all releases of the VPN client for iPhone are supported with Cisco Mobile. Check the System Requirements in the Release Notes for Cisco Mobile at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7271/prod_release_notes_list.html.

Identify a URL that is set up to launch VPN on demand. Enter the URL in the AnyConnect client. The trigger for VPN on demand is a failed DNS query on this domain.

Use one of the following methods:

Configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to be accessed through a domain name (not an IP address) and ensure that this domain name is not resolvable outside the firewall. Include this domain in the "Connect If Needed" list in the AnyConnect client connection's Connect On Demand Domain List.

If you cannot use a domain name to access Cisco Unified Communications Manager or cannot make the DNS lookup of that domain name fail from outside the firewall, set the parameter in the procedure below to a non-existent domain (will fail a DNS query inside and outside the firewall), then add that domain to the "Always Connect" list in the AnyConnect client connection's Connect On Demand Domain List.


Note The URL must include only the domain name. Do not include a protocol or a path. See the following example for more information:

Table 1 Correct URL format
Use
Do Not Use

"cm8ondemand.company.com"

"https://cm8ondemand.company.com/vpn"




Enter this URL into Safari on the iPhone and verify that VPN launches automatically: You should see a VPN icon in the status bar.

Verify that the iPhone can successfully connect to the corporate network using VPN. For example, access a web page on your corporate intranet. If the phone cannot connect, contact the provider of your VPN technology.

Verify with your IT department that your VPN does not restrict access to certain types of traffic (for example, only email and calendaring traffic may be allowed).

Cisco Mobile must already be set up and able to connect directly to the corporate network.

Integrating Corporate Directory Photos

Use the following procedures to integrate corporate directory photos into Cisco Mobile 8.1.1. The administrator can edit photos acquired from either method in the COP file.

Integrating Corporate Directory Photos using a Side URL

Integrating Corporate Directory Photos from an LDAP Server

Integrating Corporate Directory Photos using a Side URL

You can configure a parameterized URL string in the Photo field in the LDAP attribute map so that Cisco Mobile can fetch pictures from a web server instead of from the LDAP server. The URL string must contain an LDAP attribute with a query value containing a piece of data that uniquely identifies the photo of the user. We recommend that you use the User ID attribute. However, you can use any LDAP attribute whose query value contains a piece of data that uniquely identifies the photo of the user.

We recommend that you use %%<userID>%% as the substitution string, for example:

http://mycompany.cisco.com/photo/std/%%uid%%.jpg

http://mycompany.cisco.com/photo/std/%%sAMAccountName%%.jpg

You must include the double percent symbols in this string, and they must enclose the name of the LDAP attribute to substitute. Cisco Mobile removes the percent symbols and replaces the parameter inside with the results of an LDAP query for the user whose photo it resolves.

For example, if a query result contains the attribute "uid" with a value of "johndoe," then a template such as http://mycompany.com/photos/%%uid%%.jpg creates the URL http://mycompany.com/photos/johndoe.jpg. Cisco Mobile attempts to fetch the photo.

This substitution technique works only if Cisco Mobile can use the results of the query and can insert it into the template you specify above to construct a working URL that fetches a JPG photo. If the web server that hosts the photos in a company requires a POST (for example, the name of the user is not in the URL) or uses some other cookie name for the photo instead of the username, this technique does not work.

Procedure


Step 1 Log in to the Cisco Mobile Administration portal.

Step 2 Go to Device > Phone to search for the device ID.

Step 3 Go to the Product Specific Configuration Layout field in the COP file fields.

Step 4 Go to the LDAP Photo Location field, and enter the URL that stores the photo.


Note After integrating corporate photos, you must reprovision or reset your device, depending on the setting for "Allow End User Configuration Editing." For more information, see Adding the Device for a User.


Integrating Corporate Directory Photos from an LDAP Server

Use the following procedure to integrate corporate directory photos into Cisco Mobile 8.1 from an LDAP server.

Procedure


Step 1 Log in to the Cisco Mobile Administration portal.

Step 2 Go to Device > Phone to search for the device ID.

Step 3 Go to the Product Specific Configuration Layout field in the COP file fields.

Step 4 Go to LDAP Field Mappings.

The default mapping is photo=jpegPhoto. No additional action is necessary if you do not require a custom mapping.

If you require a custom mapping, you can modify the LDAP Field Mappings. The field mappings have the following format: property=ldapAttribute separated by a semi-colon, that is "userid=uid;photo=thumbnailPhoto".


Note After integrating corporate photos, you must reprovision or reset your device, depending on the setting for "Allow End User Configuration Editing." For more information, see Adding the Device for a User.

Giving Information to Users

Giving Information to Users

When you finish setting up devices in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, give your users the following information:

Instructions for connecting the phone to the corporate Wi-Fi network. This process is independent of the Cisco Mobile application.

Instructions for setting up VPN access on the phone, if you want users to be able to use Cisco Mobile via VPN. This process is independent of the Cisco Mobile application.

If you will send an email with an automatic setup link, include the following instructions with that link:


Note For users with multiple Cisco Dual Mode for iPhone devices, make sure to identify which email message pertains to each device.


a. Download and install Cisco Mobile free from the Apple App Store.

b. Restart your iPhone.

c. Open the setup email message on the iPhone.

d. Tap the link to automatically set up Cisco Mobile.

If you will not create an automatic setup link, give users:

Direction to download and install Cisco Mobile free from the Apple App Store.

The IP address of the TFTP server.

The device name of their Cisco Dual Mode for iPhone device, for example TCT_JSMITH.

This is not case-sensitive when the user enters it into Cisco Mobile.

(If applicable) Credentials required to access the corporate directory.

(If applicable) SIP Digest password.

If you will enable desk phone integration, provide their CCMUser Options password.

Documentation for users, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7271/products_user_guide_list.html.

Remind users to always dial emergency calls directly from the main iPhone dialer, never using Cisco Mobile, because soft phones cannot reliably provide caller location to emergency response personnel.

If you also deploy the Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator application that runs in conjunction with Cisco Unified Mobility Advantage (also known as Cisco Mobile 7.1):

For Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1.3 or 8.0: Users must use Cisco Mobile instead of Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator for dialing calls.

For Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1.5: Users can use either application to dial calls.

For all Cisco Unified Communications Manager releases: Users should access voicemail from Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator instead of from Cisco Mobile, because Cisco Unified Mobile Communicator has a richer feature set for voicemail, such as alerts for new voice messages.

Cisco Mobile Registration Fails

Problem   Cisco Mobile registration fails or times out.

Solution   

The following list describes different possible causes for and solutions to registration failure or time-out conditions:

Have the user check the troubleshooting tips in the FAQs for users at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7271/products_user_guide_list.html.

Verify that the phone can reach Cisco Unified Communications Manager: Try using the browser on the phone to connect to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration portal.

If registration is rejected with error 503, go to the Cisco Dual Mode for iPhone device page in Cisco Unified Communications Manager and select Reset, and then try again.

Make sure your DNS server can resolve the hostname of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server that is used as the TFTP server address.

Enter the IP address instead of the hostname of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server into the TFTP Server Address setting in Cisco Mobile.

Make sure you have followed the configuration instructions in this document.

If you are attempting to connect over VPN:

Verify that the phone can reach internal resources independently of Cisco Mobile: Try accessing an intranet web page or other resource behind the firewall.

If your Cisco Mobile deployment includes Directory Services, try accessing the directory from within Cisco Mobile.

If the phone is unable to connect over VPN, contact the provider of your VPN technology for assistance.

If you enabled SIP digest authentication, make sure you entered the credentials correctly.

Registration failure with the error message "Verification Timed Out" indicates that you did not reboot all Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers in the cluster after you installed the device COP file.

Make sure you rebooted all Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers after you installed the device COP file.

Make sure you have enough licenses to accommodate your deployment.

Adding the Device for a User

Unable to Receive Calls in Cisco Mobile

Problem   An incoming call arrives briefly in Cisco Mobile while it is running, but then the call is terminated and diverted to the native mobile phone number using Mobile Connect instead. This problem may be more evident when Cisco Mobile is connected over VPN.

Solution   In Cisco Unified Communications Manager, set the SIP Dual Mode Alert Timer as described in Ensuring the Success of Calls to Cisco Mobile.

Calls Incorrectly Routed to Voicemail

Problem   Calls are routed directly to voicemail.

Solution   In Cisco Unified Communications Manager, modify the call timer values on the Mobile Identity (Mobility Identity) page. For specifics, see Adding Mobile Connect (Single Number Reach) and a Mobile Identity.

Unable to Send an Active Call to the Mobile Phone Number

Problem   User cannot send an active call from Cisco Mobile to the mobile phone number.

Solution   Try the following:

Revisit the procedures in How to Enable Transfer of Active Calls from VoIP to the Mobile Network.

If you have configured the Mobility Softkey method, verify that Mobile Connect works by exiting Cisco Mobile and dialing the extension. If you hear a fast busy signal, make sure you entered the Mobility Identity phone number in a routable format.

In Cisco Unified Communications Manager, adjust the call timers on the Mobile Identity page. See the online help in Cisco Unified Communications Manager for more information. Make sure that the No Answer Ring Duration on the Primary DN page is greater than the value you specified for Answer Too Late Timer on the Mobile Identity page.


Note The Answer Too Late timer starts when Cisco Unified Communications Manager receives an acknowledgment from the mobile network that the call was accepted. Some mobile service providers subsequently send a separate alert that the dialed number is ringing; in those cases, the Answer Too Late timer restarts when Cisco Unified Communications Manager receives that alert.


To test this for a particular mobile phone, dial the mobile phone number (the mobile network) from an office phone and track the amount of time that passes between the time you dial the last digit and the time the call goes to voicemail.

If you increase the No Answer Ring Duration, see related cautions for this setting in the online help in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Unable to Move Call from the Mobile Voice Network to Cisco Mobile

Problem   User is unable to transfer a call successfully from the mobile network to Cisco Mobile.

Solution   Users can transfer calls to the mobile network from Cisco Mobile, but not in the other direction.

(Cisco Mobile 8.0) Unable to Pick Up Active Call After Exiting Cisco Mobile

Problem   When users exit Cisco Mobile 8.0 during an active call, they should be able to retrieve the call when they relaunch Cisco Mobile, assuming the other person is still on the call. If users are unable to retrieve the parked call, it may have timed out.

Solution   In Cisco Unified Communications Manager, increase the park timeout time. See information about the "Call Park Reversion Timer" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.

Problems with Voice Quality

Problem   Voice quality is poor. Bluetooth headsets may worsen voice quality problems.

Solution   Voice quality cannot be guaranteed because of variable network conditions. However:

For actions the user can take, see the FAQs for users at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7271/products_user_guide_list.html.

For general information about optimizing your corporate network for voice transmission, see the "Network Requirements" section of the Release Notes for Cisco Mobile at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7271/prod_release_notes_list.html.


Note Because Bluetooth-related issues and network issues outside your enterprise are neither under the control of nor specific to Cisco Mobile, the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) does not troubleshoot these issues.


Problems with Dropped or Interrupted Calls

Problem   Calls are unexpectedly dropped or interrupted. Bluetooth headsets may worsen these problems.

Solution   

For actions the user can take, see the FAQs for users at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7271/products_user_guide_list.html.

If these problems are frequent while users are on the corporate premises, make sure your Wi-Fi network meets the Network Requirements specified in the Release Notes at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7271/prod_release_notes_list.html.


Note Because Bluetooth-related issues and network issues outside your enterprise are neither under the control of nor specific to Cisco Mobile, Cisco TAC does not troubleshoot these issues.


Problems with Directory Search or Caller Identification

No Directory Search or Caller Identification

Incorrect or Missing Caller Identification

Delayed Caller Identification

Slow Searches

Missing Search Results

No Directory Search or Caller Identification

Problem   No directory search or caller identification is available.

Solution   If you do not enter an IP address for a directory server in the device page in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Mobile assumes your deployment does not include Directory Services. Enter this information, save and reset the device, and then relaunch Cisco Mobile.

If you have allowed end user configuration editing, delete the Directory account in Cisco Mobile, then add it again.

Incorrect or Missing Caller Identification

Problem   Some callers are not identified correctly.

Solution   

When you add users or change user information in Microsoft Active Directory, correct identification of callers in Recents or Voicemail in Cisco Mobile may take up to 24 hours. This minimizes synchronization activity that could impact performance.

If a number does not match a contact using directory lookup rules, Cisco Mobile displays the phone number as passed by Cisco Unified Communications Manager, unmodified by any directory lookup rules.

If you have made changes to the Directory Lookup Rules, make sure you have run the designated COP file to make those changes available to Cisco Mobile, then restarted the TFTP service. See the Related Topic for instructions.
