12.4(4)XC |
Cisco Unified CME 4.0 |
This command was made available in ephone-template configuration mode. |
|
12.4(9)T |
Cisco Unified CME 4.0 |
This command in ephone-template configuration mode was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T. |
Usage Guidelines
This command allows the keepalive interval to be set for individual phones, typically so that wireless phone batteries are not run down too quickly by overly frequent keepalive signals.
If the router fails to receive three successive keepalive messages, it considers the phone to be out of service until the phone reregisters.
If the keepalive (telephony-service) command and this command are set to different time intervals, the value that you set in ephone configuration mode has priority for the particular phone only.
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 sets the keepalive interval to 300 seconds:
Router(config)# ephone 1 Router(config-ephone)# keepalive 300

The drop-last and local-only keywords were added, and this command was made available in ephone-template configuration mode. |
|
12.4(9)T |
Cisco Unified CME 4.0 |
The drop-last and local-only keywords, and this command in ephone-template configuration mode were integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T. |
Usage Guidelines
 Note | This feature uses call transfer to connect the two remaining parties of a conference when a conference initiator leaves the conference. To use this feature, you must configure the transfer-system command using the full-blind, full-consult, or full-consult dss keywords. |
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.
If the keep-conference command is configured with no keywords, a conference initiator can hang up to leave the conference and the other two parties will remain connected. Alternatively, the conference initiator can use the EndCall soft key to terminate the conference and disconnect all parties.
If the keep-conference command is configured with no keywords, a conference initiator can use the Confrn soft key (IP phone) or hookflash (analog phone) to break up the conference but stay connected to both parties. The oldest call will be put on hold, and the most recent call will be actively connected to the initiator. The conference initiator can navigate between the two parties by pressing the Hold soft key or the appropriate line button on the phone.
If the endcall keyword is used, the conference initiator can hang up or press the EndCall soft key to leave the conference with the other two parties remaining connected.
In Cisco CME 3.2.3 and later versions, if the keep-conference command is not configured (the default) or if the no keep-conference command is used, a conference initiator can drop the last party that was added to the conference by pressing the Confrn soft key (IP phone) or hookflash (analog phone).
Note | Analog phones connected to the Cisco Unified CME system through a Cisco VG 224 require Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)YL1 or a later release to use this feature. |
Examples
In the following example, extension 3555 initiates a three-way conference. After the conference is established, extension 3555 can press the Confrn soft key to disconnect the last party that was connected and remain connected to the first party that was connected. If extension 3555 hangs up from the conference, the other two parties remain connected if one of them is local to the Cisco Unified CME system.
ephone-dn 35 number 3555 ephone 24 button 1:35 keep-conference drop-last local-only
In the following example, extension 3666 initiates a three-way conference. After the conference is established, extension 3666 can press the Confrn soft key to disconnect the last party that was connected and remain connected to the first party that was connected. Also, extension 3666 can hang up from a three-way conference to terminate the conference and disconnect all parties or can press the EndCall soft key to leave the conference and keep the other two parties connected.
ephone-dn 36 number 3666 ephone 25 button 1:36 keep-conference drop-last endcall
In the following example, extension 3777 initiates a three-way conference. After the conference is established, extension 3777 can press the Confrn soft key to disconnect the last party that was connected and remain connected to the first party that was connected. Also, extension 3777 can hang up from a three-way conference to terminate the conference and disconnect all parties or press the EndCall soft key to leave the conference and keep the other two parties connected only if one of the two parties is local to the Cisco Unified CME system.

|
Cisco IOS XE Everest 16.5.1b |
Unified CME 11.7 |
This command was supported in voice register template configuration mode. |
Usage Guidelines
When the conference initiator hangs up, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (Cisco Unified CME) executes a call transfer to connect the two remaining lines. The remaining calls are transferred without consultation. To facilitate call transfer, the transfer-attended command or transfer-blind command must be enabled.
Conference initiators can disconnect from their conference calls by pressing the Confrn (conference) soft key. When an initiator uses the Confrn soft key to disconnect from the conference call, the oldest call leg is put on hold, leaving the initiator connected to the most recent call leg. The conference initiator can then navigate between the two separate parties by pressing either the Hold soft key or the line buttons to select the desired call.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure this command, if it was previously disabled, to keep remaining conference legs after the conference initiator hangs up.
Router(config)# voice register pool 1 Router(config-register-pool)# keep-conference
The following example shows how to configure this command under voice register template configuration mode.
Router(config)# voice register template 1 Router(config-register-template)# keep-conference

12.4(9)T |
Cisco Unified CME 4.0 |
This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T. |
Usage Guidelines
This command normalizes the processing of incoming keypad messages from an IP phone so that one message is processed every 200 milliseconds. This is useful for handling the personal speed dial (fastdial) feature when the destination of the call tends to be slower in accepting the digits, or when converting keypad messages into appropriate digit events on the network side, such as RFC 2833 digits.
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 normalizes the sending of digits from ephone 43.
ephone 43 button 1:29 keypad-normalize
