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.

1 Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support QSIG protocol directly, but only through a MGCP gateway. In such cases Cisco Unified Communications Manager also supports DPNSS, ISDN, and T1 CAS protocols.

2 Also supports SIMPLE.

3 Cisco Unified Video Advantage does not support SCCP directly, but only through a SCCP based endpoint.

4 VG248 and VG224 supports SCCP. ISR platforms can also register their FXS ports to Cisco Unified Communication Manager through SCCP.


Cisco Unified Communications Application Program Interfaces

Cisco Unified Communications Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provide you with the flexibility to customize the capabilities of many Cisco Unified Communications components.

Table 4-2 shows the call control signaling APIs that are supported by each component.
