Overview
This document comprises the IP Communications (IPC) Systems Test release notes for voice systems built upon Cisco CallManager 4.1(3)SR1, IBM/Lotus Domino, and Cisco EGW 2200. It is standard methodology for Cisco Systems to perform systems-wide testing of IP Communications, supplementing the systems test performed on each IPC product.
A major deliverable of the IPC Systems Test is a recommendation of compatible software releases verified by the test. Customers that have deployed or are planning to deploy multiple voice application and voice infrastructure products in their network can adopt these recommendations. These recommendations are not exclusive, and are in addition to inter-operability recommendations for each of the individual voice application or voice infrastructure products.
IP Contact Center (IPCC) components have also been tested. For additional information, please refer to these documents at the following URL:

gbtst4x/index.htm•
•
The tested systems comprise a suite of IPC solutions containing a validated set of the following components: Cisco CalManager, Cisco Unity (IBM/Lotus Domino), Cisco EGW 2200, Cisco Voice Gateways, Cisco Catalyst Voice Gateways, Cisco routers, and Cisco Catalyst switches.

Release Versions of Components
Table 1 lists the recommended software release versions. Table 2 lists the recommended software versions for Third Party Applications and Components. Table 3 lists the firmware versions for Cisco IP Phones in IP Communications Systems Test Release 4.2.
Deployment Considerations
The tables in this section list the recommended software and firmware releases based on the IP Communications Systems Test Release 4.2 for North America IPT. Note that not every rebuild is tested as part of the IP Communications Systems Test. Therefore, additional regression testing in a customer or Cisco-specific certification lab is recommended before deployment.

IP Communications Systems Test Release 4.2 and previous releases for EMEA IPT.If you have an account with Cisco.com (Cisco Connection Online), you can use the Bug Toolkit to find caveats of any severity for any release.
To access the Bug Toolkit, perform either of these actions:
Go to this URL: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl
Log in to Cisco.com, click Technical Support, click Tools & Utilities, and then click Software Bug Toolkit under Troubleshooting Tools.
Resolved Caveats
Table 4 lists defects, which are resolved now but the fix may not be included in the recommended component versions of IP Communications Systems Test Release 4.2 for EMEA IPT. To determine the version of the software in which the fix is included (in the First Fixed-In Version field), click on the Identifier of each resolved caveat. You will be taken to the Bug Toolkit information for that caveat.
Open Caveats
Table 5 lists known caveats related to the testing of IP Communications Systems Test Release 4.2 and previous releases for EMEA IPT, which were not resolved at the time of this recommendation.
Important Notes
This section includes important notes related to the testing of IP Communications Systems Test Release 4.2 for EMEA IPT. For additional information, refer to the "Troubleshooting and Technical Tips" chapter in the Systems Test Architecture Reference Manual for EMEA IPT.
Considerations when using IP-to-IP Gateways
When using IP-to-IP gateways, incoming dial peers must be configured to provide codec, Fax, and DTMF selection for incoming calls.
Unacceptable characters in the URL for accessing the Cisco CallManager Admin Tool
Do not include the underscore "_" character in Cisco CallManager host names, domain names, or aliases in the URL when accessing the Cisco CallManager Admin Tool. The Cisco CallManager Administration interface responds with an error message and the Line Group page and other pages fail to display. This is because the underscore character is not listed in RFC 1123.
EGW documentation does not correctly define Call Limit feature for an EGW call
The call counter for the EGW (an internal process) tracks the number of times routing analysis has occurred while attempting to terminate one call. For example, for each call that is attempted, if three signaling paths or routes are available, the call counter increments by a count of 3.
Therefore, an EGW call in the Call Limit context can be defined as being multiplied by the number of routes available. This is also relevant to the Media gateway (MGW), H.323, SIP and Route Plan, which support the Call Limit feature.
Domino mail databases might get corrupted during Cisco Unity failover
During manual failovers of the Cisco Unity server, voice mail that is temporarily stored on it and delivered to the Domino mail server at a certain rate (30 messages/second) can rarely corrupt the mail database.
This problem was observed with Unity Version 4.0(5) and Domino R5.0.11 running on a 1.8Ghz single processor server. The problem disappeared during investigation and the database was no longer corrupted. Any attempts to reproduce this particular issue were unsuccessful.
Upgrading to Domino R6.5 and using more powerful server hardware might eliminate the risk.
