Migration from Cisco Unified SRST Manager to Unified E-SRST
Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony Manager is End-of-Life (EOL). Hence, provisioning for Unified E-SRST through Cisco Unified SRST Manager is not supported for Unified E-SRST Release 12.2 and later releases. Unified E-SRST is provisioned only using CLI commands (manual provisioning) to support fall back of phones registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For more information on configuring Unified E-SRST see SIP: Configure Unified E-SRST, page 101 and SCCP: Configure Unified E-SRST, page 117.
For information on Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony Manager End-of-Life announcement, see Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony Manager Product Bulletin.
Cisco Unified SRST Manager is a GUI-based tool that helps to monitor, report, and troubleshoot remote sites. It performs automatic sync up between the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the Unified E-SRST gateway that helps in adding, deleting, and modifying the users and phones including dial-plan mapping. It also provides centralized management and control of all remote sites. For more information on the Cisco Unified SRST Manager that is End-of-Life, see Administration Guide for Cisco Unified SRST Manager.
