Use the Cisco Unified CallManager administration interface to perform the tasks listed in Table 3.
Table 3 Cisco Unified CallManager Configuration Tasks
|
Task
|
Purpose
|
For More Information, See...
|
1. Set parameters for the Mobile Connect IP Phone Service |
Mobile Connect IP Phone Service is assigned to individual phones to enable users to determine the status of Mobile Connect functionality on their phones or to pick up calls at defined remote destinations. |
"Setting Parameters for the Mobile Connect IP Phone Service in Cisco Unified CallManager" chapter in the Cisco Unified MobilityManager Installation Guide |
2. Create a partition for the CTI route point. |
A CTI route point in Cisco Unified CallManager designates a virtual device that can receive multiple, simultaneous calls for application-controlled redirection. Within Cisco Unified MobilityManager, the route point is used to present the correct caller ID to the cellular or additional wired telephone numbers that are contacted by Cisco Unified MobilityManager. The route point is also used by the CTI media ports to place calls to the remote destinations. |
"Creating a Partition for the Route Point" chapter in the Cisco Unified MobilityManager Installation Guide |
3. Create a calling search space. |
A calling search space specifies the collection of partitions that are searched to determine how an originating number should be routed. You must create a special calling search space that contains the CTI route point partition. |
"Creating the Calling Search Space" chapter in the Cisco Unified MobilityManager Installation Guide |
4. Create a pool of CTI ports for outgoing calls. |
You must create a pool of CTI ports to manage all the calls that Cisco Unified MobilityManager makes to cellular phones and other destinations. A CTI port functions as a virtual phone device. The required number of ports will vary according to expected usage patterns and availability of external trunk lines. |
"Creating a Pool of CTI Ports for Outgoing Calls" chapter in the Cisco Unified MobilityManager Installation Guide |
5. Create a CTI port for the shared line. |
To create a shared line, you must configure one CTI port with a directory number that is identical to the directory number on a physical phone. With a shared line, either the physical desk phone or the CTI port can answer the same call. |
"Creating a CTI port for the Shared Line" chapter in the Cisco Unified MobilityManager Installation Guide |
6. Create a CTI route point. |
The CTI route point provides the correct caller ID to the receiving phone. Without a route point, the display for an incoming call would show only the caller ID of the CTI port originating the call, rather than the actual originating telephone number. In order for a number to be available for Mobile Connect use, the number must be available to the route point. The route point is also used by the CTI media ports to place calls to the remote destinations. |
"Creating a CTI Route Point" chapter in the Cisco Unified MobilityManager Installation Guide |
7. Add Cisco Unified MobilityManager CTI users. |
To support Cisco Unified MobilityManager, you must add two users in Cisco Unified CallManager. The users control the CTI ports and the CTI route point that you already created. One user controls the outgoing CTI ports. The other user controls the CTI ports that have a Shared Line with the physical desk phones and also controls the route point. |
"Adding Cisco Unified MobilityManager CTI Users" chapter in the Cisco Unified MobilityManager Installation Guide |
3. Configure the H.323 Gateway
An H.323 gateway is required to support the system remote access feature in Cisco Unified MobilityManager. You can use an existing H.323 gateway, if one is already installed in your network. If you do not have an H.323 gateway, then you must add and configure one, as explained in Table 4.
