Adding Devices to Cisco CallManager

Before you can use devices, such as gateways and Cisco IP Phones in your IP telephony network, you must add them to the Cisco CallManager configuration database. You can add several of these devices by using the Add a New Device window. Refer to these sections for assistance in adding those telephony devices:

Adding a CTI Route Point, page 56-2

Adding a Gatekeeper, page 60-4

Adding Gateways to Cisco CallManager, page 61-1

Adding a Phone, page 62-5

Adding a Trunk, page 63-3

Restarting or Resetting a Device

At any time, you can restart or reset a device by clicking the Reset button in the device window or by clicking the Reset icon in the Find and List window that is associated with the device, if available. You can restart a device without shutting it down by clicking the Restart button. You can shut down a device and bring it back up again by clicking the Reset button. If you want to return to the previous window without resetting or restarting the device, click Close.


Note Restarting or resetting a gateway or trunk drops any calls in progress that are using that gateway or trunk. Other devices wait until calls complete before restarting or resetting.
