Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Verify AXL connectivity of each reachable intercluster peer.	Invalid intercluster peers exist. The system cannot connect (via AXL interface) to the listed peers.	Verify each intercluster peer address and associated credentials. This failure may indicate either an AXL username/password mismatch or AXL service is not running on remote peer.
Verify that each intercluster peer supports interclustering.	Invalid inter-cluster peers exist. The listed peers do not support interclustering.	Verify that each intercluster peer supports interclustering. This failure may indicate a version mismatch with the specified peers.
Verify that intercluster peers have the same proxy domain as the local Cisco Unified Presence server	•The following peers have a proxy domain that does not match the local proxy domain. •You have no TLS-enabled intercluster peers so this test was not executed.	Verify that each intercluster peer has the appropriate proxy domain value.
Verify that users are associated (have been synchronized) with each intercluster peer.	Invalid intercluster peers. The listed peers have no associated users.	Verify each intercluster peer address and credentials. Intercluster peers with no associated (synchronized) users may indicate a possible configuration issue.
Verify that the Cisco Unified Presence clusters do not contain a user who is licensed on more than one Cisco Unified Presence cluster.	One or more users are licensed in more than one Cisco Unified Presence cluster. This causes inconsistent availability and instant message routing.	Determine the true cluster to which each of the duplicate users belongs. Investigate which of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters associated with the Cisco Unified Presence cluster has a user incorrectly licensed for Cisco Unified Presence. Select More to view the number of duplicate user in a Cisco Unified Presence cluster.

Verify that all available nodes are assigned.	Unassigned nodes found in Cisco Unified Presence cluster.	We recommend that you assign all nodes to a subcluster. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Configuring a Cisco Unified Presence Server for Deployment in the Network."
Verify that there are no empty subclusters.	The following subclusters have no nodes assigned to them.	We recommend that you assign all nodes to a subcluster. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Configuring a Cisco Unified Presence Server for Deployment in the Network."
Verify that all assigned nodes have users assigned to them.	The following nodes have no users assigned to them.	We recommend that you assign users to all nodes. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Configuring a Cisco Unified Presence Server for Deployment in the Network."
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Tests
Verify whether any Cisco Unified Personal Communicator user is currently licensed.	No Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users are currently licensed.	License users on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Select System > Licensing > Capabilities Assignment.
Verify that a primary TFTP server has been configured and can be reached.	No TFTP servers have been configured. A primary TFTP server must be configured for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to work properly.	Verify that one or more valid TFTP servers have been configured and can be reached.
Verify whether Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users have been assigned to a subcluster.	The following Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users are currently unassigned. Users must be assigned to a subcluster in order for availability status reporting to work properly for those users.	Assign Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users using the Topology User Assignment window. For more information, see Chapter 3, "Configuring a Cisco Unified Presence Server for Deployment in the Network."
Verify whether the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator application profiles have been configured.	The following applications have no configured profiles.	Create profiles for each application, for example, Voicemail and Conferencing profiles. For more information, see Chapter 13, "Configuring Conferencing Servers for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator."
Verify whether Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Mailstore servers have been configured and can be reached.	•Currently there are no Mailstore servers configured •The following Mailstore servers can not be reached:	•Configure Mailstore servers, which can be subsequently used in your Voicemail profiles. •Verify the address of the Mailstore server and whether it can be reached. For more information, see Chapter 12, "Configuring Voicemail Servers for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator."
Verify whether the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator application profiles have any unassigned users.	The following application profiles have no users assigned.	Assign users to profiles for each application for example, Voicemail and Conferencing profiles. For more information, see Chapter 13, "Configuring Conferencing Servers for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator."
Verify whether the primary server for each Cisco Unified Personal Communicator application profile can be reached.	The following application profiles currently have a primary server that can not be reached.	Verify the primary server for each application profile (for example, Voicemail and Conferencing profiles. For more information, see Chapter 13, "Configuring Conferencing Servers for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator."

Presence Viewer Tests
Verify that the CTI Gateway service is active.	The system shows CTI Gateway service currently toggled to inactive.	To activate the CTI Gateway service, use the CTI Gateway Settings window.
Verify that Cisco Unified Presence users are associated (have been synchronized) with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.	The specified user does not exist in the Cisco Unified Presence database.	Verify that the user exists on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager publisher and has been added to the Standard CCM End Users group.
Verify that the user is licensed for Cisco Unified Presence.	The specified user has not been licensed for Cisco Unified Presence.	Verify that the user has been licensed on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Publisher Capabilities Assignment page.
Verify whether any users currently have the desk phone control feature assigned.	The system indicates no users are currently MOC-assigned.	To assign the MOC feature to users, select Application > Deskphone Control > User Assignment. For more information, see Chapter 16, "Configuring Cisco Unified Presence for Integration with Desk Phone Control Client Applications."
Verify that the Cisco Unified Presence application username and password match the currently configured Cisco Unified Communications Manager application username and password.	•CTI Gateway application User ID mismatch exists. •CTI Gateway application password mismatch exists.	•Configure a valid CTI Gateway application username value on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server that matches the CTI Gateway application username value on the Cisco Unified Presence server. •Configure a valid CTI Gateway application password value on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server that matches the CTI Gateway application password value on the Cisco Unified Presence server.
Verify that the CTI Gateway service is running.	CTI Gateway service currently does not run.	To start the CTI Gateway service, use the Serviceability application and start the SIP Proxy service.
