Cisco Unified CME Commands: P

paging

To define an extension (ephone-dn) as a paging extension that can be called to broadcast an audio page to a set of Cisco IP phones, use the paging command in ephone-dn configuration mode. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

paging [ip multicast-address port udp-port-number]

no paging [ip]

Syntax Description

ip multicast-address

(Optional) Uses an IP multicast address to multicast voice packets for audio paging; for example, 239.0.1.1. Note that IP phones do not support multicast at 224.x.x.x addresses. Default is that multicast is not used and IP phones are paged individually using IP unicast transmission (up to ten phones).

port udp-port-number

(Optional) Uses this UDP port for the multicast. Range is from 2000 to 65535. Default is 2000.

Command Default

No paging number is established.

Usage Guidelines

To configure a set of phones to receive an audio page, follow these steps:

  1. Use the paging command in ephone-dn configuration mode to define a number that people can dial to send a page. The following example defines a paging-dn tag (21) and extension number (34455) to dial to send a page.

ephone-dn 21
 paging 
 number 34455
  1. Use the paging-dn command in ephone configuration mode to assign the same paging-dn tag that you defined in Step 1 to all the phones that you want to receive the page. This set of phones is called a “paging set.” You can have more than one paging set in a Cisco CME system. The following example assigns the paging-dn tag from Step 1 (21) to two phones (3 and 4) so that they will receive audio pages.

ephone 3
 paging-dn 21
ephone 4
 paging-dn 21

The paging command configures an ephone-dn as an extension that people can dial to broadcast audio pages to a specified set of idle Cisco IP phones. The extension associated with this command does not appear on any ephone; it is a “dummy” extension. The dn-tag associated with this extension becomes the paging-dn tag for this paging set.

When a person dials the number assigned to the dummy extension and speaks into the phone, the audio stream is sent as a page to the paging set (the set of all phones that have been configured with this paging-dn tag as an argument to the paging-dn command). Idle phones in the paging set automatically answer the paging call in one-way speakerphone mode. Paging sets can be joined into a single combined paging group with the paging group command.

The optional ip keyword and multicast-address argument define a paging multicast address for this paging set. If an IP multicast address is not configured, IP phones are paged individually using IP unicast transmission (to a maximum of ten IP phones). The recommended operation is with an IP multicast address. When multiple paging-dn tags are configured using the paging command, each paging-dn tag should use a unique IP multicast address.


Note

IP phones do not support multicast at 224.x.x.x addresses.

Each ephone-dn and paging-dn tag that is used for paging can support a maximum of ten distinct targets (IP addresses and interfaces). A multicast address counts as a single target for each physical interface in use (regardless of the number of phones connected via the interface). Paging using a single IP multicast address that requires output on three different Ethernet interfaces represents use of three counts out of the maximum ten. Each unicast target counts as a single target, such that paging that does not use multicast at all is limited to paging ten phones. For example, ten IP phones paged through multicast on Fast Ethernet interface 0/1.1 plus five IP phones paged through multicast on Fast Ethernet interface 0/1.2 are counted as two targets.

For simultaneous paging to more than one paging ephone-dn, Cisco recommends that you use different IP multicast addresses (not just different port numbers) for paging configuration.

Examples

The following example creates a paging extension number that uses IP multicast paging:


Router(config)# ephone-dn 20
Router(config-ephone-dn) number 2000
Router(config-ephone-dn) paging ip 239.0.1.1 port 2000

A more complete configuration example follows, in which paging sets 20 and 21 are created. Pages to extension 2000 are multicast to ephones 1 and 2. Pages to extension 2001 are multicast to ephones 3 and 4.

paging group

To create a combined paging group from two or more previously established paging sets, use the paging group command in ephone-dn configuration mode. To remove a paging group, use the no form of this command.

paging group paging-dn-tag, paging-dn-tag...

no paging group

Syntax Description

paging-dn-tag

Comma-separated list of paging-dn-tags (unique sequence numbers associated with paging ephone-dns) that have previously been associated with the paging extension of a paging set using the paging-dn or paging-dn (voice register) command. You can include up to ten paging-dn-tags separated by commas. For example, 4, 6, 7, 8.

Command Default

Paging is disabled on all Cisco IP phones.

15.2(2)T

Cisco Unifide CME 9.0

This command was modified to include voice register pools in the ephone-dn and paging groups.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to combine previously defined sets of phones associated with individual paging extensions (ephone-dns) into a combined group to enable a single page to be sent to large numbers of phones at once. To remove a paging group, use the no form of the command. All paging-dn tags included in the list must have already been defined as paging-dns using the paging or paging-dn (voice register) command.

The use of paging groups not only allows phones to participate in a small local paging set (for example, paging to four phones in a company’s shipping and receiving department) but also supports company-wide paging when needed (for example, by combining the paging sets for shipping and receiving with the paging sets for accounting, customer support, and sales into a single paging group).


Note

The correct paging port for the paging-dn of Cisco Unified SIP IP phones in the paging command is an even number from 20480 to 32768. If you enter a wrong port number, a SIP REFER message request is sent to the IP phone but the Cisco Unified SIP IP phone is not paged.

Examples

In the following example, paging sets 20 and 21 are defined and then combined into paging group 22. Paging set 20 has a paging extension of 2000. When someone dials extension 2000 to deliver a page, the page is sent to Cisco IP phones (ephones) 1 and 2. Paging set 21 has a paging extension of 2001. When someone dials extension 2001 to deliver a page, the page is sent to ephones 3 and 4. Paging group 22 combines sets 20 and 21, and when someone dials its paging extension, 2002, the page is sent to all the phones in both sets and to ephone 5, which is directly subscribed to the combined paging group.

The following example shows how the paging group command is used to configure combined paging groups composed of ephone and voice register directory numbers.

The first set of configuration tasks shows how to configure a combined paging group composed of Cisco Unified SCCP IP phone directory numbers only.

When extension 2000 is dialed, a page is sent to ephones 1 and 2 (first single paging group). When extension 2001 is dialed, a page is sent to ephones 3 and 4 (second single paging group). Finally, when extension 2002 is dialed, a page is sent to ephones 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, producing the combined paging group (composed of the first single paging group, the second single paging group, and ephone 5).

Ephones 1 and 2 are included in paging ephone-dn 22 through the membership of ephone-dn 20 as paging group 20 in the combined paging group. Ephones 3 and 4 are included in paging ephone-dn 22 through membership of ephone-dn 21 as paging group 21 in the combined paging group. Ephone 5 is directly subscribed to paging-dn 22.

The second set of configuration tasks shows how Cisco Unified SIP IP phone directory numbers can be configured and added to the previously established paging groups of the first set of configuration tasks to form a new combined paging group composed of ephone and voice register directory numbers.

When extension 2000 is dialed, a page is sent to ephones 1 and 2 and voice register pools 1 and 2 (new first single paging group). When extension 2001 is dialed, a page is sent to ephones 3 and 4 and voice register pools 3 and 4 (newsecond single paging group). Finally, when extension 2002 is dialed, a page is sent to ephones 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and voice register pools 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (new combined paging group).

Ephones 1 and 2 and voice register pools 1 and 2 are included in paging ephone-dn 22 through the membership of ephone-dn 20 as paging group 20 in the combined paging group. Ephones 3 and 4 and voice register pools 3 and 4 are included in paging ephone-dn 22 through membership of ephone-dn 21 as paging group 21 in the combined paging group. Ephone 5 and voice register pool 5 are directly subscribed to paging-dn 22.

paging-dn

To create a paging extension (paging-dn) to receive audio pages on a Cisco Unified IP phone in a Cisco Unified CME system, use the paging-dn command in ephone or ephone-template configuration mode. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

paging-dn paging-dn-tag {multicast | unicast}

paging-dnno

Syntax Description

paging-dn-tag

Dn-tag of an ephone-dn that was designated as a paging ephone-dn with the paging command.

multicast

Uses multicast if available. By default, audio paging is transmitted to the Cisco Unified IP phone using multicast.

unicast

Forces unicast paging for this phone. This keyword indicates that the Cisco Unified IP phone is not capable of receiving audio paging through multicast and requests that all pages to this phone be sent through unicast. The maximum number of phones supported through unicast is ten.

Command Default

Paging is disabled on all Cisco Unified IP phones.

Command Modes

Cisco Unified CME 4.0

This command in ephone-template configuration mode was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T.

Usage Guidelines

To configure a set of phones to receive an audio page, follow these steps:

  1. Use the paging command in ephone-dn configuration mode to define a number that people can dial to send a page. The following example defines a paging-dn tag (21) and extension number (34455) to dial to send a page.

ephone-dn 21
 paging 
 number 34455
  1. Use the paging-dn command in ephone configuration mode to assign the same paging-dn tag that you defined in Step 1 to all the phones that you want to receive the page. This set of phones is called a “paging set.” You can have more than one paging set in a Cisco Unified CME system. The following example assigns the paging-dn tag from Step 1 (21) to two phones (3 and 4) so that they will receive audio pages.

ephone 3
 paging-dn 21
ephone 4
 paging-dn 21

This command creates a paging extension (paging-dn) associated with an IP phone. Each phone can support only one paging-dn extension. This extension does not occupy a phone button and is therefore not configured on the phone with the button command. The paging-dn allows the phone to automatically answer audio pages in one-way speakerphone mode. There is no press-to-answer option as there is with an intercom extension.

The paging-dn-tag argument in this command takes the value of the dn-tag of an extension (ephone-dn) that has been made a paging ephone-dn using the paging command. This command is the extension that callers dial to deliver an audio page. All of the phones that are going to receive the same audio pages are configured with the same paging-dn-tag . These phones form a paging set.

An IP phone can belong to only one paging set, but any number of phones can belong to the same paging set using multicast. There can be any number of paging sets in a Cisco Unified CME system, and paging sets can be joined to create a combined paging group using the paging group command. For example, you may create separate paging sets for each department (sales, support, shipping) and combine them into a single combined paging group (all departments). Only single-level grouping is supported (no support for groups of groups).

Normal phone calls that are received while an audio page is in progress interrupt the page.

The paging mechanism supports audio distribution using IP multicast, replicated unicast, and a mixture of both (so that multicast is used where possible, and unicast is used with specific phones that cannot be reached through multicast).


Note

For unicast paging to all phones, omit the IP multicast address in the ephone-dn configuration. For unicast paging to a specific phone using an ephone-dn configured for multicast, add the unicast keyword as part of the paging-dn command in ephone configuration mode.

If you use an ephone template to apply a command to a phone and you also use the same command in ephone configuration mode for the same phone, the value that you set in ephone configuration mode has priority.

Examples

The following example creates paging number 5001 on ephone-dn 22 and adds ephone 4 as a member of the paging set. Multicast is set for the paging-dn. Note that IP phones do not support multicast at 224.x.x.x addresses.

paging-dn (voice register)

To register a Cisco Unified SIP IP phone to an ephone-dn paging directory number (DN), use the paging-dn command in voice register pool or voice register template configuration mode. To unregister the Cisco Unified SIP IP phone from the paging directory number, use the no form of this command.

paging-dn paging-dn-tag {multicast | unicast}

no paging-dn

Syntax Description

paging-dn-tag

Ephone-dn tag designated as the paging ephone-dn to which a Cisco Unified SIP IP phone is registered.

multicast

Transmits audio paging to the Cisco Unified IP phone using multicast. This is the default.

unicast

Transmits audio paging to the Cisco Unified IP phone using unicast.This indicates that the Cisco Unified IP phone is not capable of receiving audio paging through multicast and requests that all pages to this phone be sent through unicast. The maximum number of phones supported through unicast is 12.

Command Default

The Cisco Unified SIP IP phone is not registered to an ephone-dn paging DN and paging is disabled.

Command Modes

Voice register pool configuration (config-register-pool)

Voice register template configuration (config-register-temp)

Command History

Release

Modification

15.2(2)T

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The paging-dn command applies to both voice register pool and voice register template configuration modes. When voice register pool is configured with the template and paging is configured in voice register pool configuration mode, paging in voice register pool configuration mode has higher precedence over paging in voice register template configuration mode.

The correct paging port for the paging-dn of Cisco Unified SIP IP phones in the paging command is an even number from 20480 to 32768. If you enter a wrong port number, a SIP REFER message request is sent to the IP phone but the Cisco Unified SIP IP phone is not paged.

Examples

The following example shows how the Cisco Unified 7961 SIP IP phone is registered to both paging-dns 251 and 252:

param

To load and configure parameters in a package or a service (application) on the gateway, use the param command in application configuration mode. To reset a parameter to its default value, use the no form of this command.

param param-name [param max-retries | param passwd | param passwd-prompt filename | param user-prompt filename | param term-digit | param abort-digit | param max-digits]

no param param-name

Syntax Description

param-name

Name of the parameter.

param max-retries

(Optional) Number of attempts to re-enter account or password. Value ranges from 0-10, default value is 0.

param passwd

(Optional) Character string that defines a predefined password for authorization.

param passwd-prompt filename

(Optional) Announcement URL to request password input. filename defines the name and location of the audio filename to be used for playing the password prompt.

param user-prompt filename

(Optional) Announcement URL to request authorization code username. filename defines the name and location of the audio filename to be used for playing the username prompt.

param term-digit

Digit for terminating username or password digit input.

param abort-digit

Digit for aborting username or password digit input. Default value is *.

param max-digits

15.1(3)T

This command was modified. The following keywords and arguments were added: param max-retries, param passwd, param passwd-prompt filename, param user-prompt filename, param term-digit, param max-digit.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command in application parameter configuration mode to configure parameters in a package or service. A package is a linkable set of C or Tcl functions that provide functionality invoked by applications or other packages. A service is a standalone application.

The parameters available for configuration differ depending on the package or service that is loaded on the gateway. The param register Tcl command in a service or package registers a parameter and provides a description and default values which allow the parameter to be configured using the CLI. The param register command is executed when the service or package is loaded or defined, along with commands such as package provide , which register the capability of the configured module and its associated scripts. You must configure and load the Tcl scripts for your service or package and load the package in order to configure its parameters. See the Tcl IVR API Version 2.0 Programming Guide for more information.

When a package or service is defined on the gateway, the parameters in that package or service become available for configuration when you use this command. Additional arguments and keywords are available for different parameters. To see a list of available parameters, enter param ?.

To avoid problems with applications or packages using the same parameter names, the parameter namespace, or parameterspace concept is introduced. When a service or a package is defined on the gateway, its parameter namespace is automatically defined. This is known as the service or package’s local parameterspace, or “myparameterspace.” When you use this command to configure a service or package’s parameters, the parameters available for configuration are those contained in the local parameterspace. If you want to use parameter definitions found in different parameterspace, you can use the paramspace parameter-namespace command to map the package’s parameters to a different parameterspace. This allows that package to use the parameter definitions found in the new parameterspace, in addition to its local parameterspace.

Use this command in Cisco Unified Communication Manager Express 8.5 and later versions to define the username and password parameters to authenticate packages for Forced Authorization Code (FAC)

When a predefined password is entered using the param passwd keyword, callers are not requested to enter a password. You must define a filename for user-prompt to play an audio prompt requesting the caller to enter a valid username (in digits) for authorization. Similarly, you must define a filename for passwd-prompt to play an audio prompt requesting the caller to enter a valid password (in digits) for authorization.

Modification

12.4(4)XC

Cisco CME 3.3

This command was introduced to replace the call application voice aa-hunt command.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution and Auto-Attendant (B-ACD) service. It is configured under the service command for the call-queue script.

Up to ten aa-hunt menu options, or hunt groups, are allowed per call-queue service. You can use any of the allowable numbers in any order.

This command associates a menu option with the pilot number of an ephone hunt group. When a caller presses the digit of a menu option that has been associated with an ephone hunt group using this command, the call is routed to the pilot number of the hunt group.

Menu options for B-ACD services can be set up in many ways. For more information, see the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

The highest aa-hunt number that you establish using this command also automatically maps to zero (0) and can therefore be used to represent operator services to your callers. In the following example, callers can dial either 8 or 0 to reach aa-hunt8, the hunt group with the pilot number 8888.


application
 service queue flash:
  param aa-hunt1 1111
  param aa-hunt3 3333
  param aa-hunt8 8888

For any configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD scripts.

Examples

The following example configures a call-queue service called queue to associate three menu numbers with three pilot numbers of three ephone hunt groups:

  • Pilot number 1111 for ephone hunt group 1 (sales)
  • Pilot number 2222 for ephone hunt group 2 (customer service)
  • Pilot number 3333 for ephone hunt group 3 (operator)

If a caller presses 2 for customer service, the call is transferred to 2222 and then is sent to the next available ephone-dn from the group of ephone-dns assigned to ephone hunt group 1: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. The sequencing of ephone-dns within a hunt group is handled by the ephone hunt group itself, not by the B-ACD service. (Note that the configuration for ephone hunt groups used with Cisco Unified CME B-ACD services do not use the final command.)

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution and Auto-Attendant (B-ACD) service. Each AA has one AA pilot number, although there may be more than one AA used with a B-ACD service.

For any configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD scripts.

For more information, see the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

Examples

The following example sets up a B-ACD with two AAs, both in drop-through mode. The first AA is called acdaa and it has an AA pilot number of (800) 555-0121. The second AA is aa-bcd and has an AA pilot number of (800) 555-0123. Both AAs use the call-queue service named callq. Incoming POTS dial peers are established for both AA pilot numbers.

12.4(9)T

Cisco Unified CME 4.0

This command replaced the call application voice co-did-max command and was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T.

Usage Guidelines

This command defines the upper limit of the range of digits accepted from the CO when it is used with the Cisco Unified CallManager Express (Cisco Unified CME) DID Digit Translation Service. This service provides number translation for DID calls when the range of DID digits provided by the PSTN Central Office (CO) does not match the digits in the Cisco Unified CME extension numbers.

The Tcl script that provides the service accepts PSTN DID numbers of any length and maps them to the internal extension numbers that are assigned by a system administrator. Where necessary, a prefix is appended to the DID digits to create a valid extension number. The script uses the parameters that you input to determine the valid range of digits to be accepted from the CO, the valid range of digits in the local dial plan, and the prefix to append, if necessary. The script also handles DID calls that map to invalid extension numbers: a prompt is played and the calls are disconnected.

Examples

The following example configures DID Digit Translation Service on the Cisco Unified CME router. It sets a lower boundary of 00 and an upper boundary of 79 for the valid range of digits coming from the CO.

To set the lower boundary of the range of valid digits coming from the PSTN Central Office (CO) that is used with the Direct Inward Dial (DID) Digit Translation Service, use the param co-did-min command in application-parameter configuration mode. To disable this option, use the no form of this command.

param co-did-min min-co-value

no param co-did-min min-co-value

Syntax Description

min-co-value

Minimum value of digits coming from the CO. The digit string can be any length, but the string length must be the same in the param co-did-max , param co-did-max , param store-did-min , and param store-did-max commands.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution and Auto-Attendant (B-ACD) service. This command is configured under the service command for an AA service.

This command allows you to designate a menu option number for callers to press if they want to dial an extension number that they already know. This command also enables the playing of the en_bacd_enter_dest.au audio file after a caller presses the dial-by-extension menu number. The default announcement in this audio file is “Please enter the extension number you want to reach.”

For any configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD scripts.

For more information, see the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

Examples

The following example sets up a B-ACD with an AA called acd1, which has an AA pilot number of (800) 555-0121. The call-queue service used with this AA is named callq. Callers to (800) 555-0121 can press 1 to dial an extension number (param dial-by-extension-option 1 under service acd1 ) or press 2 to be connected to the hunt group with the pilot number 5072 (param aa-hunt2 5072 under service callq ).

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution and Auto-Attendant (B-ACD) service. This command is configured under the service command for an AA service.

When an AA is configured for drop-through mode, the AA sends incoming calls directly to the call queue associated with the menu number specified in this command. Once in the queue, a caller hears ringback if an agent is available or music on hold (MOH) if all agents are busy. If a greeting prompt for drop-through mode is configured using the param drop-through-prompt command, a caller hears the prompt before being sent to the queue as described.

The menu option number is an aa-hunt number that is associated with an ephone hunt group using the param aa-hunt command.

For any configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD scripts.

For more information, see the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

Examples

The following example sets up a B-ACD with two AAs, both in drop-through mode. The first AA is called acdaa and it has an AA pilot number of (800) 555-0121. The second AA is aa-bcd and has an AA pilot number of (800) 555-0123. Both AAs use the call-queue service named callq. Callers to (800) 555-0121 drop directly through to the hunt group with the pilot number 5072 after hearing the greeting prompt in the audio file named en_dto_welcome.au.

This command was introduced to replace the call application voice handoff-string command.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution and Auto-Attendant (B-ACD) service. This command is configured under the service command for an AA service.

The handoff string is used only when the call-queue script starts for the first time or restarts after a failure.

For any configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD scripts.

For more information, see the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

Examples

The following example sets parameters for an AA application called aa and a call-queue application called queue. The direct-dial number to reach the AA service is (800) 555-0100. Callers to this number drop through to the ephone hunt group that has a pilot number of 5071 after hearing the initial prompt from the file en_dt_prompt.au. The AA name, aa is passed to the call-queue service in the param handoff-string command.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution (B-ACD) and Auto-Attendant (AA) service. Configure this command under the service command for an AA service.

A call to a Cisco Unified CME B-ACD service is put into a call queue if the hunt group that the call tried to reach has no phones available to take the call because they are all busy. While the call is in the queue, a second greeting is played at intervals specified by the param second-greeting-time command. From the queue, the call makes retries to connect at intervals specified by the param call-retry-timer command until the maximum amount of time to be spent in the queue expires. The maximum amount of time is set by the param max-time-call-retry command. After the maximum amount of time expires, the call is routed to the alternate destination specified in the param voice-mail command. If the alternate destination number is busy, the call makes the number of retries to connect specified in the param max-time-vm-retry command. If the call is unable to connect to the alternate destination after the number of retries that has been specified, it is disconnected.

For any configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD scripts.

For configuration information, see the “Setting Up Call-Queue and AA Services” section in the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document.

Examples

The following example sets parameters for an AA application called aa and a call-queue application called queue. The direct-dial number to reach the AA service is (800) 555-0100. Callers to this number can press 1 to be connected to the ephone hunt group with the pilot number 5071 or can press 2 to dial an extension number of 4 or fewer digits.

If a caller presses 2 and all the phones in ephone-hunt group 10 are busy, the call is put into a queue for hunt group 10. Every 60 seconds, the caller hears the second greeting, which is “Please continue to hold. An agent will be with you shortly.” Every 15 seconds, the call-queue service tries again to connect the call to the hunt group. If no phones become available before 700 seconds expire, the call is routed to extension 5000. If that extension is busy, the call-queue service retries it 2 times more. If the call still cannot be connected, it is disconnected.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution and Auto-Attendant (B-ACD) service. This command is configured both under the service command for the call-queue service and under the service command for an AA service.

The number of hunt groups specified for the call-queue service is the total of the number of hunt groups used with all the AAs with which it is associated. For example, if a B-ACD has three AAs, each with two hunt groups, the number of hunt groups for each AA is two and the number of hunt groups for the call-queue service is six.

For any configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD scripts.

For more information, see the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

Examples

A call-queue service called CQ is set up to work with two AA services. CQ lists 4 as the number of hunt groups it uses. AA1 is associated with 3 hunt groups, and its callers hear the following prompt: “Press 1 for sales, press 2 for service, press 0 for operator.” AA2 uses drop-through mode. Its callers do not hear a prompt and are directly connected to the single hunt group that is associated with it.

This command was introduced to replace the call application voice queue-len command.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution and Auto-Attendant (B-ACD) service. This command is configured under the service command for a call-queue service.

This command specifies the maximum number of calls that can be held in a call queue for a hunt group used with B-ACD when all of the hunt group member phones are busy.

Note that having calls in queue keeps PSTN ports occupied for a longer time, and you may want to plan for more ports if you have longer queues. The maximum number of calls allowed in the queues of ephone hunt groups must be based on the number of ports or trunks available. For example, if you have 20 foreign exchange office (FXO) ports and two ephone hunt groups, you can configure a maximum of ten calls per ephone hunt-group queue using the param queue-len 10 command. You can use the same configuration if you have a single T1 trunk, which supports 23 channels.

For any configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD scripts.

For more information, see the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

Examples

A call-queue service called CQ is set up to work with two AA services. CQ lists four as the number of hunt groups it uses. AA1 is associated with three hunt groups, and its callers hear the following prompt: “Press 1 for sales, press 2 for service, press 0 for operator.” AA2 uses drop-through mode. Its callers do not hear a prompt and are directly connected to the single hunt group that is associated with it. Up to 12 calls can be held in the call queue for each hunt group if all the phones in the hunt group are busy.

12.4(9)T

Cisco Unified CME 4.0

This command replaced the call application voice secondary-prefix command and was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CallManager Express (Cisco Unified CME) DID Digit Translation Service, which provides number translation for DID calls when the range of DID digits provided by the PSTN Central Office (CO) does not match the digits in the Cisco Unified CME extension numbers.

The Tcl script that provides the service accepts PSTN DID numbers of any length and maps them to the internal extension numbers that are assigned by a system administrator. Where necessary, a prefix is appended to the DID digits to create a valid extension number. The script uses the parameters that you input to determine the valid range of digits to be accepted from the CO, the valid range of digits in the local dial plan, and the prefix to append, if necessary. The script also handles DID calls that map to invalid extension numbers: a prompt is played and the calls are disconnected.

When calls are received by a secondary Cisco Unified CME router, they are routed to the primary router by configuring an H.323 VoIP dial peer and matching the destination pattern for that dial peer. The DID prefix that was configured for use with the DID script is appended to the incoming DID digits first. The secondary prefix is appended next. For example, if the incoming DID digits are 25, the DID prefix is 3, and the secondary prefix is 7, the transformed number will be 7325. The transformed number matches a VoIP dial peer, which uses the forward-digits command to send only the three relevant digits, the extension number, to the primary router.

See the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

Examples

The following example configures a Basic DID application on the Cisco Unified CME router. It sets a prefix of 5 to apply to the digits coming from the CO in order to construct a valid extension number. Then the secondary prefix (4) is appended. If the incoming DID digits are 25, the DID prefix is 5, and the secondary prefix is 4, then the transformed number is 4525. The transformed number matches VoIP dial peer 1000. The VoIP dial peer sends calls to the primary Cisco Unified CME router using the IP address that is entered in the session target command. The dial peer uses the forward-digits command to send the extension number, 525, to the primary Cisco Unified CME router.

Modification

12.3(14)T

Cisco CME 3.3

This command was introduced to replace the call application voice second-greeting-time command.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution and Auto-Attendant (B-ACD) service. This command is configured under the service command for an AA service.

A call to a Cisco Unified CME B-ACD service is put into a call queue if the hunt group that the call tried to reach has no phones available to take the call because they are all busy. While the call is in the queue, a second greeting is played at intervals specified by the param second-greeting-time command. From the queue, the call retries to connect to the hunt group at intervals specified by the param call-retry-timer command until the maximum amount of time to be spent in the queue expires. The maximum amount of time is set by the param max-time-call-retry command. After the maximum amount of time expires, the call is routed to the alternate destination specified in the param voice-mail command. If the alternate destination number is busy, the call makes the number of retries to connect specified in the param max-time-vm-retry command. If the call is unable to connect to the alternate destination after the number of retries that has been specified, it is disconnected.

The second greeting is stored in the audio file named en_bacd_allagentsbusy.au. You can rerecord over the default message that is provided in the file, but you cannot change the name of the file.

For any configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD scripts.

For more information, see the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

Examples

The following example sets parameters for an AA application called aa and a call-queue application called queue. The direct-dial number to reach the AA service is (800) 555-0100. Callers to this number can press 1 to be connected to the ephone hunt group with the pilot number 5071 or can press 2 to dial an extension number of 4 or fewer digits.

If a caller presses 2 and all the phones in ephone-hunt group 10 are busy, the call is put into a queue for hunt group 10. Every 60 seconds, the caller hears the second greeting, which is “Please continue to hold. An agent will be with you shortly.” Every 15 seconds, the call-queue service tries again to connect the call to the hunt group. If no phones become available before 700 seconds expire, the call is routed to extension 5000. If that extension is busy, the call-queue service retries it 2 times more. If the call still cannot be connected, it is now disconnected.

This command was introduced to replace the call application voice voice-mail command.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution and Auto-Attendant (B-ACD) service. This command is configured under the service command for an AA service.

Calls are diverted to an alternate destination only when one of the following criteria is met:

  • The hunt group to which the call has been transferred is unavailable because all members are logged out.
  • The call-queue maximum retry timer has expired.

The alternate destination can be any number at which you can assure call coverage, such as a voice-mail number, a permanently staffed number, or a number that rings an overhead night bell. Once a call is diverted to an alternate destination, it is no longer controlled by the B-ACD service. This parameter is set with the param voice-mail command.

If you send calls to a voice-mail system as an alternate destination, be sure to set up the voice-mail system as specified in the documentation for the system.

If you specify a number for an alternate destination, the number must be associated with a dial peer that is reachable by the Cisco Unified CME system.

For any configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD scripts.

For more information about B-ACD, see the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

Examples

The following example sets parameters for an AA application called aa and a call-queue application called queue. The direct-dial number to reach the AA service is (800) 555-0100. Callers to this number can press 1 to be connected to the ephone hunt group with the pilot number 5071 or can press 2 to dial an extension number of 4 or fewer digits.

If a caller presses 2 and all the phones in ephone-hunt group 10 are busy, the call is put into a queue for hunt group 10. Every 60 seconds, the caller hears the second greeting, which is “Please continue to hold. An agent will be with you shortly.” Every 15 seconds, the call-queue service tries again to connect the call to the hunt group. If no phones become available before 700 seconds expire, the call is routed to extension 5000, which is the alternate destination. If that extension is busy, the call-queue service retries it 2 times more. If the call still cannot be connected, it is disconnected.

Modification

12.3(14)T

Cisco CME 3.3

This command was introduced to replace the call application voice voice-mail command.

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with the Cisco Unified CME Basic Automatic Call Distribution and Auto-Attendant (B-ACD) service. This command is configured under the service command for an AA service.

Each AA service that is used with the Cisco Unified CME B-ACD service needs a welcome greeting to tell callers the destination they have reached and, sometimes, the options that they have. The en_bacd_welcome. au audio file is used by default. It announces “Thank you for calling,” and includes a two-second pause after the message. The filename of the welcome prompt audio file has two parts: a two-letter prefix that denotes a language code specified in the paramspace language command, and the identifying part that indicates the purpose of the file. In the default welcome prompt audio file, the prefix is en and the identifying part is _bacd_welcome.au. Note that the identifying part starts with an underscore.

If your Cisco Unified CME B-ACD service uses a single AA application, you can record a custom welcome greeting in the audio file named en_welcome_prompt.au and record instructions about menu choices in the audio file named en_bacd_options_menu.au.

If your Cisco Unified CME B-ACD service uses multiple AA applications, you will need separate greetings and menu options for each AA. Use the following guidelines:

  • Record a separate welcome prompt for each AA application, using a different name for the audio file for each welcome prompt. For example, en_welcome_aa1.au and en_welcome_aa2.au. The welcome prompts that you record in these files should include both the greeting and the instructions about menu options.
  • Record silence in the audio file en_bacd_options_menu.au. A minimum of one second of silence must be recorded. Note that you cannot change the identifier part of the name of this audio file.

For any Cisco Unified CME B-ACD configuration changes to take effect, you must reload the scripts.

For more information, see the Cisco Unified CallManager Express B-ACD and Tcl Call-Handling Applications document for your release.

Examples

The following example sets parameters for two AA applications, called aa1 and aa2, and a call-queue application called queue. The direct-dial numbers to reach the AA services are (800) 555-0100 for aa1 and (800) 555-0110 for aa2. Callers to aa1 can press 1 to be connected to the ephone hunt group with the pilot number 5071 or can press 2 to dial an extension number of 4 or fewer digits. Callers to aa2 can press 2 to dial an extension number of 4 or fewer digits or press 3 to be connected to the ephone hunt group with the pilot number 5073. Both AAs share an operator hunt group, which is menu option 4.

The welcome prompt for aa1 is “Thank you for calling the Sales department. Press 1 to place an order. Press 2 if you know the extension of the party you want, or press 0 to speak to an operator.” The filename of the audio file that contains this welcome prompt is en_aa1_welcome.au.

The welcome prompt for aa2 is “Thank you for calling the Service department. Press 2 if you know the extension of the party you want. Press 3 to speak to a service technician or press 0 to speak to an operator.” The filename of the audio file that contains this welcome prompt is en_aa2_welcome.au.

Modification

12.4(4)T

Cisco CME 3.4 Cisco SRST 3.4

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command is intended to allow H.323 and SIP trunk calls to utilize the voice gateway in spite of the the after-hours configuration in Cisco Unified CME or Cisco Unified SRST.

A Cisco voice gateway (session application) accesses the after-hours call-blocking configuration set by Cisco Unified CME or Cisco Unified SRST and blocks all SCCP, SIP, H.323, and POTS calls that go through the Cisco router regardless of whether the call is from a phone controlled by the Cisco router or from a phone controlled by some other call control application, such as Cisco Unified CallManager.

To disable the After Hours Call Blocking feature for incoming calls from phones other than those registered to a Cisco Unified CME or Cisco Unified SRST router, use this command to exempt an individual H.323, SIP, or POTS dial peer from the call blocking configuration.

To disable the After Hours Call Blocking feature for an individual IP phone registered in Cisco Unified CME or Cisco Unified SRST:

  • In Cisco CME 3.4 and later, disable the After Hours Call Blocking feature for a directory number on a SIP phone by using the after-hour exempt command in voice register pool or voice register dn configuration mode.
  • In Cisco CME 3.0 and later, disable the After Hours Call Blocking feature for an individual SCCP phone by using the after-hour exempt command in ephone or ephone-template configuration mode.
  • In Cisco SIP SRST 3.4 and later, disable the After Hours Call Blocking feature for SIP phones in a voice register pool by using the after-hour exempt command in voice register pool configuration mode.
  • In Cisco SRST, you cannot create an exemption for an individual phone from the call-blocking configuration.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the After Hours Call Blocking feature in Cisco Unified CME, and how to configure a particular dial peer (255) so that outgoing calls through this dial peer are exempt from this after-hours call blocking configuration:


Router(config)# telephony-service
Router(config-telephony)# after-hours block pattern 1 9011
Router(config-telephony)# exit
Router(config)# dial-peer voice 255 voip
Router(config-dial-peer)# paramspace callsetup after-hours-exempt true
 

park reservation-group

To assign a call-park reservation group to a phone, use the reservation-group command in ephone, ephone-template, voice register pool, or voice register template configuration mode. To remove the group from the phone, use the no form of this command.

park reservation-group group-number

no park reservation-group

Syntax Description

group-number

Unique number that identifies the reservation group. String can contain up to 32 digits.

Command Default

Extension does not belong to any reservation group.

Command Modes

Cisco Unified CME 7.1

This command was introduced.

12.4(24)T

Cisco Unified CME 7.1

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T.

Usage Guidelines

This command allows you to assign ownership to call-park slots by using Park Reservation Groups. A phone configured with a park reservation group can retrieve calls only from park slots configured with the same park reservation group. A phone without a park reservation group can retrieve calls from any park slot without an assigned park reservation group.

To assign a reservation group to a park-slot extension, use the park-slot reservation-group command.

If you use a template to apply a command to a phone and you also use the same command in ephone or voice register pool configuration mode for the same phone, the value that you set in the phone configuration mode has priority.

Examples

The following example shows park reservation-group 1 is assigned to phone 3 (SCCP). When calls for the Pharmacy are parked at extension 8126, phone 3 can retrieve them:


ephone-dn  26
 number 8126
 park-slot reservation-group 1 timeout 15 limit 2 transfer 8100

park-slot

To create an extension (call-park slot) at which calls can be temporarily held (parked), use the park-slot command in ephone-dn configuration mode. To disable the extension, use the no form of this command.

park-slot [directed] [reservation-group group-number] [reserved-for extension-number] [ [timeout seconds limit count] [notify extension-number [only]] [recall] [transfer extension-number] [alternate extension-number] [retry seconds limit count]]

no park-slot [directed] [reservation-group group-number] [reserved-for extension-number] [ [timeout seconds limit count] [notify extension-number [only]] [recall] [transfer extension-number] [alternate extension-number] [retry seconds limit count]]

Syntax Description

directed

(Optional) Enables Directed Call Park for this extension.

reservation-group group-number

(Optional) Reserves this slot for phones configured with the same reservation group.

reserved-for extension-number

(Optional) Reserves this slot as a private park slot for the phone with the specified extension number as its primary line. All lines on that phone can use this park slot.

Note 
This keyword is ignored if the reservation-group keyword is used.

timeout seconds

(Optional) Sets the call-park reminder timeout in seconds. Range: 0 to 65535. This reminder sends a 1-second ring to the IP phone that parked the call and displays a message on the LCD panel of all phones in the Cisco Unified CME system, indicating that a call is on hold. By default, the reminder ring is sent only to the phone that parked the call.

limit count

(Optional) Sets a limit on the number of reminder or retry timeouts. Range: 1 to 65535.

notify extension-number

(Optional) Sends a reminder ring to the specified extension in addition to the reminder ring that is sent to the phone that parked the call.

only

(Optional) Sends a reminder ring only to the extension specified with the notify keyword and does not send a reminder ring to the phone that parked the call. This option allows all reminder rings for parked calls to be sent to a receptionist’s phone or an attendant’s phone, for example.

recall

(Optional) Returns the call to the phone that parked it after the timeout expires.

transfer extension-number

(Optional) Returns the call to the specified extension after the timeout expires.

alternate extension-number

(Optional) Returns the call to this second target number if the recall or transfer target phone is in use on any of its extensions (ringing or connected).

retry seconds

(Optional) Sets the delay before another attempt to recall or transfer a parked call, in seconds. Range: 0 to 65535. Number of attempts is set by the limit keyword.

Command Default

No call-park slot is defined.

12.4(24)T

Cisco Unified CME 7.1

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T.

Usage Guidelines

This command creates a call-park slot that is a floating extension, or ephone-dn that is not bound to a physical phone, at which phone users can place calls on hold for later retrieval from the same phone or from another phone.

At least one call-park slot must be defined with this command before the Park soft key displays on IP phones in a Cisco Unified CME system.

Phone users park calls using the Park soft key. A phone user can then retrieve a call by dialing the extension number of the call-park slot. On SCCP phones, the phone user who parks the call can also retrieve the call by using the PickUp soft key and an asterisk (*). Other SCCP phone users can retrieve the call by using the PickUp soft key and dialing the extension number of the call-park slot.

Calls can also be transferred to a call-park slot using the Transfer key; a transfer to a call-park slot is always a blind transfer. Calls can also be forwarded to a call-park slot, and callers can directly dial call-park slots.

When a call that uses a G.711 codec is parked, the caller hears the music-on-hold (MOH) audio stream; otherwise, the caller hears the on-hold tone.

The directed keyword enables the extension as a park slot for Directed Call Park. To retrieve a call from a directed call-park slot, you must define the retrieval prefix with the fac command. The retrieval prefix is supported for both SCCP and SIP phones.

The reservation-group keyword allows you to assign ownership to call-park slots by using Park Reservation Groups. A park slot configured with a park reservation group can only be used by phones configured with the same park reservation group. A park slot without a park reservation group can be used by any phone not assigned to a park reservation group.

A reminder ring can be sent to the extension that parked the call by using the timeout keyword, which sets the interval length to wait before sending call-park reminder rings. The number of time-out intervals and reminder rings are configured with the limit keyword and argument. For example, a limit of 3 timeout intervals sends 2 reminder rings (interval 1, ring 1, interval 2, ring 2, interval 3). The timeout and limit keywords and arguments also set the maximum time that calls stay parked. For example, a timeout interval of 10 seconds and a limit of 5 timeout intervals (park-slot timeout 10 limit 5 ) will park calls for approximately 50 seconds.

If the timeout keyword is not used with this command, no reminder ring is sent to the extension that parked the call. If the timeout keyword is used, a reminder ring is sent only to the extension that parked the call unless the notify keyword is also used to specify an additional extension number to receive a reminder ring. When an additional extension number is specified using the notify keyword, the phone user at that extension can retrieve a call from this slot by pressing the PickUp soft key and an asterisk (*).

Each call-park slot can hold one call at a time, so the number of simultaneous calls that can be parked is equal to the number of slots that have been created. The reserved-for keyword creates a call-park slot that is dedicated for use by one extension so that extension always has a slot available at which to park a call. With nonreserved slots, multiple call-park slots can be created with the same extension number so that all the calls that are parked for a particular group can be parked at a known extension number. For example, at a hardware store, calls for the plumbing department can be parked at extension 101, calls for lighting can be parked at 102, and so forth. Then, anyone in the plumbing department can pick up calls from extension 101. When multiple calls are parked at the same extension number, they are picked up in the order in which they were parked; that is, the call that has been parked the longest is the first call picked up from that extension number.

IP phone users park calls at their dedicated call-park slots using the Park soft key. Phone users can also transfer calls to dedicated call-park slots using the Transfer soft key and a standard or custom feature access code (FAC) for call park. On analog phones, users transfer calls to dedicated call-park slots using hookflash and a standard or custom FAC for call park. The standard FAC for call park is **6. Custom FACs are created using the fac command.

If a dedicated park slot is not found for an ephone-dn attempting to park a call, Cisco Unified CME uses the standard call-park procedure; that is, the system searches for a preferred park slot (one with an ephone-dn number that matches the last two digits of the ephone-dn attempting to park the call) and if none is found, uses any available call-park slot.

If a name has been specified for a call-park slot, that name is displayed instead of an extension number on a recall or transfer of the call.

A parked call can have the following dispositions after its timeouts expire:

  • Recall—If you specify that a call should be recalled to the parking phone after the timeout interval expires, the call is always returned to the phone's primary extension number, regardless of which extension on the phone did the parking.
  • Transfer—If you specify a transfer target, the call is transferred to the specified number after the timeout intervals expire instead of returning to the primary number of the phone that did the parking.
  • Alternate—You can also specify an alternate target extension to which to transfer a parked call if the recall or transfer target is in use. In use is defined as either ringing or connected to a call. For example, a call is parked at the dedicated park slot for the phone with the primary extension of 2001. After the timeouts expire, the system attempts to recall the call to extension 2001, but that line is now connected to a different call. The system transfers the call to the alternate target that was specified when the park slot was defined.
  • Disconnect—When a timeout limit is set and no other disposition has been specified, a call parked at a call-park slot is disconnected after the number of reminder timeouts are reached.

Examples

Examples

The following example shows a basic call-park slot at extension 1001. After a call is parked at this number, the system provides 10 reminder rings at intervals of 30 seconds to the extension that parked the call. Any phone can retrieve calls parked at this extension.


ephone-dn 45
 number 1001
 park-slot timeout 30 limit 10
 

Examples

The following example shows two call-park slots, extension 3110 and 3111, that can be used to park calls for the pharmacy using Directed Call Park.

Number that identifies the dial pattern. Range: 1 to 24.

string

Dial pattern, such as the area code, prefix, and first one or two digits of the telephone number, plus wildcard characters or dots (.) for the remainder of the dialed digits.

button button-number

(Optional) Button to which the dial pattern applies.

timeout seconds

(Optional) Time, in seconds, that the system waits before dialing the number entered by the user. Range: 0 to 30. To have the number dialed immediately, specify 0. If this parameter is not used, the phone's default interdigit timeout value is used (10 seconds).

user

(Optional) Tag that automatically gets added to the dialed number. Do not use this keyword if Cisco Unified CME is the only SIP call agent.

ip

(Optional) Sets the value of the user tag to IP in the dialed number.

phone

12.4(11)XJ

Cisco Unified CME 4.1

This command was introduced.

12.4(15)T

Cisco Unified CME 4.1

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T.

Usage Guidelines

This command defines a pattern of dialed digits that are matched by the phone and passed to Cisco Unified CME to initiate a call. Dial strings that match the pattern trigger the sending of a SIP INVITE message to Cisco Unified CME. Patterns are matched sequentially in order of the tag number.

You must first use the type command to specify the type of phone that the dial plan is being defined for before you can enter a pattern. Enter this command for each dial pattern that is part of the dial plan definition. After you define a dial plan, assign it to a SIP phone by using the dialplan command.

The button keyword specifies the button to which the dial pattern applies. If the user is initiating a call on line button 1, only the dial patterns specified for button 1 apply. If this keyword is not configured, the dial pattern applies to all lines on the phone. This keyword is not supported on Cisco Unified IP Phones 7905 or 7912. The button number corresponds to the order of the buttons on the side of the screen, from top to bottom, with 1 being the top button.

The pattern command and filename command are mutually exclusive. You can use either the pattern command to define dial patterns manually for a dial plan, or the filename command to select a custom dial pattern file that is loaded in system flash.

Examples

The following example shows the dial patterns set for SIP dial plan 10:


Router(config)# voice register dialplan 10
Router(config-register-dialplan)# type 7905-7912
Router(config-register-dialplan)# pattern 52...
Router(config-register-dialplan)# pattern 91.......
 

pattern direct

To configure the dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) digit pattern forwarding necessary to activate the voice-mail system when a user presses the Messages button on an IP phone in a Cisco CallManager Express (Cisco CME) system, use the pattern direct command in voice-mail integration configuration mode. To disable DTMF pattern forwarding when a user presses the Messages button on a phone, use the no form of this command.

pattern direct tag1 {CDN | CGN | FDN} [tag2 {CDN | CGN | FDN}] [tag3 {CDN | CGN | FDN}] [last-tag]

no pattern direct

Syntax Description

tag1

Alphanumeric string of fewer than four DTMF digits in length. The alphanumeric string can consist of a combination of four letters (A, B, C, and D), two symbols (* and #), and ten digits (0 to 9). The tag numbers match the numbers defined in the voice-mail system’s integration file and immediately precede the number of the calling party, the number of the called party, or a forwarding number.

CDN

Called number (CDN) information is sent to the voice-mail system.

CGN

Calling number (CGN) information is sent to the voice-mail system.

FDN

Forwarding number (FDN) information is sent to the voice-mail system.

tag2, tag3

(Optional) Same as tag1 . The router supports a maximum of four tags.

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)T.

Usage Guidelines

The pattern direct command is used to configure the sequence of dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) digits passed to a voice-mail system attached to the router through one or more voice ports. When a call is placed directly from a Cisco IP phone attached to the router, the voice-mail system expects to receive a sequence of DTMF digits at the beginning of the call to identify the user’s mailbox, accompanied by a string of digits to indicate that the caller is attempting to access the designated mailbox in order to retrieve messages.

Although it is unlikely that you will use multiple instances of the CDN , CGN , or FDN keywords in a single command line, it is permissible to do so.

Examples

The following example sets the DTMF pattern for a calling number (CGN) for a direct call to the voice-mail system:


Router(config) vm-integration
Router(config-vm-integration) pattern direct 2 CGN *
 

pattern ext-to-ext busy

To configure the dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) digit pattern forwarding necessary to activate a voice-mail system after an internal extension attempts to connect to a busy extension and the call is forwarded to voice mail, use the pattern ext-to-ext busy command in voice-mail integration configuration mode. To disable the feature, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines

The pattern ext-to-ext busy command is used to configure the sequence of DTMF digits passed to a voice-mail system attached to the router through one or more voice ports. When a call is routed to the voice-mail system by call forward on busy from a Cisco IP phone attached to the router, the voice-mail system expects to receive digits that identify the mailbox associated with the forwarding phone together with digits that identify the extension number of the calling IP phone.

Although it is unlikely that you will use multiple instances of the CDN , CGN , or FDN keywords in a single command line, it is permissible to do so.

Examples

The following example sets the DTMF pattern for a local call forwarded on busy to the voice-mail system:


Router(config) vm-integration

Usage Guidelines

This command is used with Cisco Unified CME phone authentication.

If you choose a higher key size than the default setting, the phones take longer to generate the entropy that is required to generate the keys. Key generation, which is set at low priority, allows the phone to function while the action occurs. Depending on the phone model, you may notice that key generation takes up to 30 or more minutes to complete.

Examples

The following example specifies a key size of 2048 bits.
