Important Notes

This section includes notes regarding Cisco MobilityManager Release 1.1(1).

DNS

To use DNS, the IP address of the DNS server must be correct and the Cisco MobilityManager server hostname must be configured in the DNS server. If DNS is not used, then the administrator should verify that Cisco MobilityManager hostname settings are correct in the Cisco IPT Platform Administration pages: Settings > Host Settings.

Minimum Cellular Phone Ring Timer

The default of the Minimum Cellular Phone Ring Timer parameter is 1500 milliseconds. If you experience dropped inbound calls in cell phones that are configured as remote destinations, try adjusting them to suit your cell phone requirements for voice mail.

Access to Interfaces During Upgrade

Cisco MobilityManager administration pages, user pages, and Mobile Voice Access are unavailable during post-installation script execution in system upgrade. This is due to the IDS database shutdown required to install the database in the inactive partition.

SNMP Settings

The System Configuration page contains these new fields located under the SNMP settings:

•SNMP Community String

•SNMP Version

Server IP Address Change

When changing the IP address of' the Cisco MobilityManager server after installation, you must open the Cisco IPT Platform Administration application and verify that the Host settings reflect the new IP address. If the host settings do not reflect the new IP address, you must perform these tasks:

1. Update the host IP address in the Platform pages and restart the Cisco MobilityManager server.

2. In the H.323 Gateway configuration, reload the Cisco MobilityManager application using the command:

call application voice load <application name>.

Internal Extension Calls

When a Mobile Connect call is placed from one internal extension call, only the internal extension is presented as the caller ID. If an H.323 gateway is used, then this can be solved using translation patterns.

Caveats

This section lists product caveats pertaining to Cisco MobilityManager Release 1.1(1).

Open Caveats for Release 1.1(1)

•CSCsa66121

Outgoing calls to remote destination fail when a CTI Route Point is shared by two Shared line users. SNR sends two outgoing calls but none of the calls gets connected.

•CSCsb67632

If a Backup/Restore fails due to an IP address that is not reachable from the Cisco MobilityManager server, the error message displayed on the Back/Restore page will be inconsistent with the error in the log file (tar.log or untar.log). A GUI display of Server Unknown is the same as No route to the host shown in the log file.

•CSCsb73789

If the device name is configured on the User Information page and the AXL server IP or user name or password is incorrect, then Cisco MobilityManager cannot connect to the AXL server for device name validation. In this case, if the administrator updates the user page and clicks Save, the page will time out with a message of "The page cannot be displayed" being displayed due to the AXL response failure. To solve the problem, do not configure the device name, or be sure to configure a valid AXL server IP and user name and password.

•CSCsa74903

If a caller uses Using Mobile Voice access to make a call to an internal line that is busy, the call will be dropped without a busy tone.

•CSCsb75274

If cell pickup is unsuccessful, a Cancel option is displayed on the phone. The phone does not display Pickup again unless the user manually presses Cancel and tries again.

•CSCsb76332

The Cisco MobilityManager server may hang during boot up. When this occurs, the server is in a state where it cannot continue startup routines or be gracefully shut down. If you restore IP connectivity to the rest of the network, the boot sequence will continue after a few minutes.

•CSCsb76617

Pickup fails intermittently if one of the remote destination is an un-allocated number and if other three are valid remote destinations. If the un-allocated number is removed from the configuration, then cellular phone pickup will work.

•CSCsb79997

The device name for the user's phone should contain only characters dots, numbers, letters, dashes, and underscores.

•CSCsb85176

The SNMP community string should not have any blank spaces. If the string contains blanks, SNMP traps will not be received by the target machine.

•CSCsb85601

Users should not add new remote destinations from the User Profile configuration pages when there are no user groups configured for that user, even though the Administration application currently permits this.

•CSCsa96106

If the remote destination (cellular phone) is in a different area code than the user's desk phone, then the user may intermittently experience a slight audio delay for 2 to 3 seconds when picking up an incoming Mobile Connect call.

•CSCsa96776

When using the Join feature, if the first call is in the talking state, Pickup will not work. To prevent this, you must always put the first call on Hold and then invoke Join.

•CSCsb99515

The Use Secured Auto JTAPI Update parameter on the System Parameters page (System > System Parameter) should always be set to "no." HTTPS connection is not supported by Cisco CallManager for the CCMPluginsServer folder, and Cisco MobilityManager always uses HTTP for the connection to Cisco Call Manager to download the jtapi.jar file. Therefore, the parameter should be set to "no."

•CSCsc10575

Cisco MobilityManager will not be able to extend calls to cellular phones if FXO ports are used in the gateway to connect to the PSTN. The call to the cellular phone is answered too quickly, and Cisco MobilityManager assumes that the cell phone voice mail picked up the call and pulls it back. In this case, it is recommended that you use PRI to connect to the PSTN.

Documentation Updates

This section contains documentation updates.

Errors

The errors in this section apply to the Cisco MobilityManager Installation Guide.

CTI Ports for Outgoing Calls

In the section "Creating a Pool of CTI Ports for Outgoing Calls," this step:

In the Partition pull-down list box, choose the partition that you created in "Creating a Partition for the Route Point" section on page 18.

should read

In the Partition pull down list box, choose the partition for the outgoing ports. This should not be the partition that was created for the CTI route point.

H.323 Configuration

In the section "Configuring a H.323 Gateway for System Remote Access," this step is not required:

Step 6 Add a dial-peer to make calls to the public service telephone network (PSTN) from the enterprise. This is used to play announcements after the System Remote Access Call Take back Timer expiration.

Sample configuration:

•dial-peer voice 3 pots

•destination-pattern T

•port 1/0:23

Omissions

The item in this section applies to the Cisco MobilityManager Installation Guide. In the section "Setting Parameters for the Mobile Connect IP Phone Service in Cisco CallManager," step 10 states:

Step 10 Enter dn as the parameter name.

Note that the dn parameter is case-sensitive. It must be specified as lower case.

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
