Extension Mobility

This chapter describes features in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (Cisco Unified CME) that provide support for phone mobility for end users.

Prerequisites for Configuring Extension Mobility

  • Cisco Unified CME 4.2 or a later version.

  • To use the phone user interface to configure personal speed dials directly on an Extension Mobility phone, Cisco Unified CME 4.3 or a later version must be installed.

  • SIP phone support is available with Cisco Unified CME 8.6 or a later version.

Restrictions for Configuring Extension Mobility

  • Extension Mobility on remote Unified CME routers isn’t supported. You can log in only to a local Cisco Unified IP phone.

  • Extension Mobility isn’t supported if you log in to a Cisco Unified IP phone in a different subnet.

Information About Configuring Extension Mobility

Extension Mobility

Extension Mobility in Cisco Unified CME 4.2 and later versions provides the benefit of phone mobility for end users.

A user login service allows phone users to temporarily access a physical phone other than their own phone and utilize their personal settings, such as directory number, speed-dial lists, and services, as if the phone is their own desk phone. The phone user can make and receive calls on that phone using the same personal directory number as is on their own desk phone.

Each Cisco Unified IP phone that is enabled for Extension Mobility is configured with a logout profile. This profile determines the default appearance of a phone that is enabled for Extension Mobility when there is no phone user logged into that phone. Minimally, the logout profile allows calls to emergency services such as 911. A single logout profile can be applied to multiple phones.

After a Cisco Unified IP phone that is enabled for Extension Mobility boots up, the Services feature button on the phone is configured with a login service URL hosted by Cisco Unified CME that points to the Extension Mobility Login page. No feature-button-specifc configuration is required to add Extension Assigner to the Services feature button. The option for Extension Mobility appears last in the list of options displayed when the phone user presses the Services feature button

A phone user logs in to a Cisco Unified IP phone that is enabled for Extension Mobility by pressing the Services button or a Unified CCX agent can log in using a Unified CCX Cisco Agent Desktop. User authentication and authorization is performed by Cisco Unified CME. If the login is successful, Cisco Unified CME retrieves the appropriate user profile, based on user name and password match, and replaces the phone’s logout profile with the user profile.

After the phone user is logged in, the service URL points to a logout URL hosted by Cisco Unified CME to provide a logout prompt on the phone. Logging into a different device automatically closes the first session and start a new session on the new device. When a phone user is not logged in to any phone, incoming calls to the phone user’s directory number are sent to the phone user’s voice mailbox.

For button appearance, Extension Mobility associates directory numbers then speed-dial numbers in the logout profile or user profile to phone buttons. The sequence in which directory numbers are associated is based on line type and ring behavior as follows: first normal, then silent ring, beep ring, feature ring, monitor ring, and overlay, followed by speed dials. If the profile contains more numbers than there are buttons on the physical phone to which the profile is downloaded, the remaining numbers in the profile are ignored.

For configuration information, see Enable Extension Mobility.

Personal Speed Dials on an Extension Mobility Phone

Unified CME phone users can use the Cisco IOS CLI commands to configure personal speed dials on an Extension Mobility phone.

In Cisco Unified CME 4.3 and later versions, Extension Mobility users can configure their own speed-dial settings directly on the phone. Speed-dial settings are added or modified on the phone by using a menu available with the Services feature button. Any changes to the speed-dial settings made through the phone user interface are applied to the user’s profile in Extension Mobility. For information about using the phone user interface on a Cisco Unified IP phone, see Cisco Unified IP Phone 7900 Series End-User Guides.

The phone user-interface is enabled by default on all phones with displays. You can disable the capability for an individual phone to prevent a phone user from accessing the interface. For configuration information, see Enable Phone User Interface for Configuring Speed-Dial and Fast-Dial.

Cisco Unified CME Extension Mobility Enhancements

Enhancements to Extension Mobility in Cisco Unified CME 4.3 include the following:

  • Configurable Automatic Logout

  • Automatic Clear Call History

Automatic Logout

Cisco Unified CME 4.3 and later versions includes an Automatic Timeout feature for Extension Mobility. After an automatic logout is executed, Cisco Unified CME sends the logout profile to the phone and restarts the phone. After an automatic logout, Extension Mobility users can log in again.

You can configure up to three different times on a 24-hour clock for automatically logging out Extension Mobility users based on time-of-day. The system clock triggers an alarm at the specified time and the EM Manager in Cisco Unified CME logs outs every logged in Extension Mobility user in the system. If an Extension Mobility user is using the phone when automatic logout occurs, the user is logged out after the active call is completed.

For configuration information, see Configure Cisco Unified CME for Extension Mobility.

Users log out from Extension Mobility by pressing the Services button and choosing Logout. If a user does not manually log out before leaving the phone, the phone is idle and the individual’s user profile remains loaded on that phone. To automatically log out individual users from idle Extension Mobility phones, configure an idle-duration timer for Extension Mobility. The timer monitors the phone and if the specified maximum idle time is exceeded, the EM Manager logs out the user. The idle-duration timer is reset whenever the phone goes offhook.

For configuration information, see Configure a User Profile.

Automatic Clear Call History

In Cisco Unified CME 4.3 and later versions, the EM manager in Cisco Unified CME issues commands to phones to clear call history whenever a user logs out of Extension Mobility. An HTTP GET/POST is sent between the Extension Mobility phone and the authentication server in Cisco Unified CME. The authentication server authorizes the request and the call history is cleared based on the result.

You can configure Cisco Unified CME to disable Automatic Clear Call History. For configuration information, see Configure Cisco Unified CME for Extension Mobility.

Privacy on an Extension Mobility Phone

In Cisco Unified CME 4.3 and later versions, the Privacy feature enables phone users to block other users from seeing call information or barging into a call on a shared octo-line directory number. When a phone receives an incoming call on a shared octo-line, the user can make the call private by pressing the Privacy feature button, which toggles between on and off to allow the user to alter the privacy setting on their phone. The privacy state is applied to all new calls and current calls owned by the phone user.

For Extension Mobility phones, you can enable the privacy button in the user profile and logout profile. To enable the privacy button, see Configure a Logout Profile for an IP Phone and Configure a User Profile.

For more information about Privacy, see Barge and Privacy.

Extension Mobility for SIP Phones Enhancement

Cisco Unified CME 8.6 enhances the Extension Mobility feature to allow support for SIP phones.

Extension Mobility allows you to access any EM enabled physical phone and utilize your own personal settings, such as directory numbers, speed-dials, after-hour personal identification number (PIN), and feature button layout, as if the phone is your own desk phone.

A user login service allows you to temporarily access a physical phone other than your own phone and utilize your personal settings, such as directory number, speed-dial lists, and services, as if the phone is your own desk phone.

The features of Extension Mobility for SIP phones is identical to SCCP phones, only the configuration procedure is different. For information on configuring Extension Mobility for SIP phones, see Configure Extension Mobility for SIP Phones.


Note

You can login to either an SCCP phone or a SIP phone with the same user profile.


Note

Only the normal lines configured in your user profile are applied when you login to a SIP phone. Other lines such as overlay, monitor, and feature-ring lines are ignored.


Note

Only Cfwdall, Confrn, DnD, Endcall, Hold, NewcallGroup Pickup, Park, Privacy, Redial, and Trnsfer feature buttons configured in your user profile will be applied when you login to a SIP phone. Other feature buttons will be ignored.

MIB Support for Extension Mobility in Cisco Unified SCCP IP Phones

In Cisco Unified CME 9.0 and later versions, new MIB objects are added to monitor Cisco Unified SCCP IP Extension Mobility (EM) phones. These enhancements allow the retrieval of the following information:

  • user-profile tag for a Cisco Unified SCCP IP EM phone, when it is logged in

  • logout-profile tag for a Cisco Unified SCCP IP EM phone

  • DN and its type, and the overlay or call waiting numbers if applicable, for each user-profile

  • DN and its type, and the overlay or call waiting numbers if applicable, for each logout-profile

  • number of Cisco Unified SCCP IP phones configured as EM phones

  • number of registered Cisco Unified SCCP IP EM phones

 profile, continue?? [yes]: y
Router(config-register-pool)#end

Example for Configuring Logout Profile

The following example shows the configuration for a logout profile that defines the default appearance for a Cisco Unified IP phone that is enabled for Extension Mobility. Which lines and speed-dial buttons in this profile are configured on a phone depends on the phone type. For example, for a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970, all buttons are configured according to logout profile1. However, if the phone is a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960, all six lines are mapped to phone buttons and the speed dial is ignored because there is no button available for speed dial. 

voice logout-profile 1
 pin 9999
 user 23C2-8 password 43214
 number 3001 type silent-ring
 number 3002 type beep-ring
 number 3003 type feature-ring
 number 3004 type monitor-ring
 number 3005,3006 type overlay
 number 3007,3008 type cw-overly
 speed-dial 1 2000
 speed-dial 2 2001 blf

Example for Enabling an IP Phone for Extension Mobility

The following example shows the ephone configurations for three IP phones. All three phones are enabled for Extension Mobility and share the same logout profile number 1, to be downloaded when these phones boot and when no phone user is logged into the phone. 

ephone 1
