Introduction

Use this document to add each Cisco IP SoftPhone user to the Cisco CallManager administration pages. When a user's SoftPhone client logs in, the username and password configured on the Cisco IP SoftPhone must match exactly what is configured on the server in this step.

This document is part of a document set. It assumes you have already gone through the previous steps and are logged in as administrator on the Cisco CallManager system. For information on each of the other documents, consult the index for this set Installing and Configuring Cisco IP SoftPhone.

This document explains how to add user accounts on the Cisco CallManager server for clients running Cisco IP SoftPhone to log in on. For an overview on how to configure IP SoftPhone, refer to Installing and Configuring Cisco IP SoftPhone.

Opening Cisco CallManager Administration

To get the administration screen to come up, enter the URL http://servername/ccmadmin where servername is either the name or IP address of your Cisco CallManager system.

Adding a New User

Perform these steps to add a new user:

1. Click User and select Add a New User.

   The Add a New User screen appears.

2. Complete all the user fields with the requested information.

   Required fields are indicated by an asterisk (*). This is an example of how the screen should look after filling in the fields:

   

   Note: The Associated PC field is required for collaboration with Virtual Conference Room.

3. After filling in the fields, click Insert. That brings up the User Configuration Process screen.

   

The user is now added, but still needs to be associated with the device created earlier - SoftPhonePort. That process is handled in the next section.

You have now completed this task. Return to the Installing and Configuring Cisco IP SoftPhone.
