Introduction

Cisco CallManager, a network business communication system, provides high-quality telephony over IP networks. Cisco CallManager enables the conversion of conventional, proprietary, circuit-switched PBXs to multiservice, open LAN systems.

System Requirements

Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 must be installed and configured on a Cisco Media Convergence Server. For system hardware component information and system requirements, refer to Installing Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 on the Cisco Media Convergence Server.

Determining the Software Version

To determine the software version of Cisco CallManager 3.0(4), open Cisco CallManager Administration; then click Details on the main Cisco CallManager Administration page. The following information displays:

•Cisco CallManager System version

•Cisco CallManager Administration version

•Database information and database DLL versions

New and Changed Information

Maintenance Release 3.0(4)

Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(4) is a maintenance release. No new features have been added. Refer to the behavioral changes below and the "Resolved Caveats" section on page 20 for more information.

Call Forward No Answer and Call Forward Busy

When the administrator sets a call forward in the Web Administrator, Call Search Space must also be set. The value set in the Call Search Space by the administrator overrides any settings on the device. If no value is set, then the null partition will be assumed.

PerfMon Counter Name Changes

Two PerfMon counters are assigned new names and function differently:

•"RegisteredPhones" has changed to "RegisteredHardwarePhones"—The RegisteredHardwarePhones counter indicates the number of hardware phones, which includes the Cisco IP 7900 Family, Cisco 30 VIP, and Cisco 12 SP+, that are currently registered with a specific Cisco CallManager.

•"LicenseAvailableStation" has been changed to "RegisteredOtherStationDevices"—The RegisteredOtherStationDevices counter represents the number of devices registered with a particular Cisco CallManager that uses the SCCP protocol and are not hardware phones.

Maintenance Release 3.0(3b)

Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(3b) is a maintenance release. No new features have been added. Refer to the "Resolved Caveats" section on page 20 for more information.

Maintenance Release 3.0(2d)

Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(2d) is a maintenance release that addresses Cisco Media Convergence Server installation issues and resolves other high-priority caveats. No new features have been added. Refer to the "Resolved Caveats" section for more information.

New Hardware and Software Features in Release 3.0

The following sections contain new and changed hardware and software features in Release 3.0 of Cisco CallManager.

Distributed Call Processing

Cisco CallManager (Release 3.0 and later) provides the capability for distributed call processing. With this feature, you can distribute the call processing load of your system across multiple Cisco CallManagers in a cluster. This feature allows for redundancy, feature transparency, and scalability in a distributed environment.

To support this functionality, a new distributed, replicated database layer has been added to the Cisco CallManager system. This layer allows for the transparent replication of configuration information across the coordinating Cisco CallManagers. The layer manages database consistency and recoverability. A single web interface to the database for the entire system simplifies configuration.

Digit Analysis Replication

Cisco CallManager uses digit analysis to collect, parse, and translate dialed numbers to destination device IP addresses. In Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 and later, the digit analysis function is distributed across all Cisco CallManager servers in a cluster. This distribution allows scalability, load balancing, and redundancy across the cluster.

Multiple Line Appearance

Cisco CallManager supports distributed multiple line appearance that allows multiple phones attached to multiple Cisco CallManagers to share one directory number (DN).

Route Lists and Route Groups

Release 3.0 introduces multiple Cisco CallManager nodes in a system. Access devices (gateways) may be registered in any of the nodes of the system but must still be reachable using the configured Route Plan. Route Lists (which were called Route Points in Cisco CallManager Release 2.4 and earlier) and Route Groups are configured in the same manner as in Cisco CallManager Release 2.4 and earlier, with the same associations.

Address Assignments (Route Pattern)

This feature allows addresses of devices and virtual endpoints to be specified using a format that allows easy assignment of a range of matching values. This allows ranges of addresses to be easily routed or blocked. New to Release 3.0 is the ability to associate a route pattern to a device through partitions and calling search spaces.

Number Transformations

This new feature allows both called and calling numbers to be modified by truncation, replacement of individual digits, discarding named sub-strings (called number only), or by prepending or appending digits before digit analysis.

Data Driven Dial Plan

The new Dial Plan Wizard enables you to create a dial plan quickly and easily. Also, pre-configured, pre-tested, country-specific dial plans may be created and substituted for the NANP files.

Dial Plan Report

A new Dial Plan Report allows you to see the dial plan configuration at a glance. For each route partition, it lists the call park numbers, call pickup numbers, and conference numbers associated with the partition. For each route pattern, it shows the usage, route list, route group, device, and port numbers associated with the route pattern.

Call Pickup and Group Call Pickup

Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 allows configuring two types of call pickup:

•Call Pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls within their own group. The appropriate call pickup group number is dialed automatically when a user activates this feature.

•Group Call Pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls within their own group or in other groups. Users must dial the appropriate call pickup group number when using this feature.

Select Ringing State for a Phone Device

This new feature allows ringing to be either enabled or disabled on any Cisco IP phone in the database. If ringing is enabled, an incoming call is presented on the phone through the display and/or lights as appropriate for that particular device, and by ringing the phone. If ringing is disabled, an incoming call is presented on the phone through the display and/or lights as appropriate for that particular device, but the phone does not ring audibly.

Disable Ring Per Line

If a DN appears on multiple phones, the database can be set to control which phone will ring or which will just flash, indicating that the phone is ringing, on a phone-by-phone basis.

Database Layer/Replication

The database layer provides an abstraction layer between Cisco CallManager and supporting applications. The abstraction layer provides for single-point system configuration while hiding automated, underlying data store replication.

Device Reset Control

This release of Cisco CallManager significantly reduces the number of database changes that require a Cisco CallManager restart in order to take effect.

Device Recovery

This section applies to Cisco CallManager through Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), as well as Cisco CallManager to Cisco CallManager connections. Each Cisco CallManager device uses the steps in the following list to connect or reconnect to Cisco CallManagers:

•A configuration component provides a list of Cisco CallManagers for the device to use. The maximum number of Cisco CallManagers on the redundancy list is three.

•A TCP connection to two Cisco CallManagers in the list is maintained. Keep-alive messages are sent to both the active and the standby Cisco CallManager.

•If the active Cisco CallManager fails, an IP phone to IP phone call stays active if both phones are on the same Cisco CallManager. If the two IP phones are on different Cisco CallManagers, the call is dropped. IP phone to a gateway calls are also dropped regardless of which Cisco CallManagers the devices are registered. As soon as the IP phone to IP phone call ends, the phones register with their standby Cisco CallManager. This backup is only temporary, until the primary Cisco CallManager is restored.

•When keep-alive messages fail to the active Cisco CallManager, the device attempts to register with the standby Cisco CallManager. The device attempts to keep two TCP connections open and always tries to re-connect to the highest priority, available Cisco CallManager.

•If a registered device is not registered with the primary, available Cisco CallManager, and no calls are active, the device follows the list starting with the first Cisco CallManager on the list and attempts to re-make a TCP connection. Upon a successful connection, the device de-registers with the current active Cisco CallManager and registers with the new Cisco CallManager.

Intracluster Distributed Cisco CallManager Feature Transparency

The intracluster feature transparency provided in Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 allows features such as device display management, device lamp management, media management, call hold and transfer capabilities, call park and pickup capabilities, distributed dial plan, and shared route plan (in the form of partitions and calling search spaces) to be configured and shared across all Cisco CallManagers within a cluster.

Note Intra-cluster communication does not require MTP.

Intercluster Distributed Cisco CallManager Feature Transparency

Clusters of Cisco CallManagers interconnect using H.323 protocol. A given cluster views another cluster as another H.323 device. When configuring one cluster to communicate with another, the configuration database has an H.225 device configured that points to one of the Cisco CallManagers in the remote cluster. The dial plan structure associates the remote cluster's E.164 address range to the H.225 device and signals the remote cluster just as it would an H.323 gateway. New to Release 3.0 are minor bug fixes and support for intercluster transfer, hold, and conferencing through the H.323 empty capabilities set.

Distributed Cisco CallManager Scalability

Beginning with Release 3.0, multiple Cisco CallManagers can be supported per configuration database. This feature allows load distribution for registered devices, call processing, and other functions across all Cisco CallManager servers in a cluster.

Six Cisco CallManagers can reside in a Cisco CallManager cluster. A Cisco CallManager cluster can accommodate a maximum of 10,000 users in a cluster. A single Cisco CallManager can handle 2,500 phones. When multiple Cisco CallManagers exist in a cluster, the number of IP phones assigned to each Cisco CallManager in a normal state must be such that they can absorb the IP phones from a failed Cisco CallManager, so the 2,500 phone limit on any Cisco CallManager is not exceeded.

Note For redundancy purposes, you could have a Cisco CallManager that only serves as a backup Cisco CallManager and, during normal operations, would have no registered phones. You can also install the Publisher database and TFTP servers on standalone platforms if desired. For the most current information about Cisco IP telephony system design guidelines, refer to the Voice Product Documentation page on Cisco Connection Online, located at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/

Cisco CallManager Redundancy on the Cisco ICS 7750

The Cisco ICS 7750 handles Cisco CallManager redundancy differently than it is handled in a clustered environment. Only one instance of Cisco CallManager is active at any time on the Cisco ICS 7750. When a redundant System Processing Engine (SPE) runs a secondary instance of Cisco CallManager, the secondary instance is never active unless the primary Cisco CallManager fails. If a failover occurs, the secondary Cisco CallManager becomes active and takes over all call processing and Cisco CallManager database functions. Because only one instance of Cisco CallManager is active on the Cisco ICS 7750, load balancing is not available, and each Cisco ICS 7750 must be administered separately. For more information about implementing and configuring Cisco CallManager on the Cisco ICS 7750, refer to the Cisco ICS 7750 documentation.

Note The Cisco ICS 7750 does not support Cisco CallManager clusters.

Digit Analysis Multitenant

Through partitions, the Cisco CallManager can support multiple instances of the same DN at a single site that are treated as independently reachable DNs. Using translation patterns, inbound calls to different direct inward dialing (DID) numbers with common subscriber line identifiers (extensions) can be configured.

Digit Analysis Multilocation

The Cisco CallManager can support routing for devices that are in different geographical regions, of which belong to different area codes within the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). You can configure your dial plan to bypass the public network when feasible and also to fall back to long distance routes when WAN or Intranet is unavailable.

Digit Analysis Toll Restriction

Cisco CallManager can allow or prohibit types of calls based on the class of the individual device or DN.

MGCP Support for VG200

Cisco CallManager is more tightly integrated with the VG200 series of gateways through Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP). MGCP provides interworking between Cisco CallManager and VG200 gateways. The Cisco CallManager can control analog interfaces (FXS and FXO) directly.

MGCP Listen Port

MGCP messages are transmitted over TCP. The MGCP listen port represents the Cisco CallManager TCP listen port. The default for this port should be set to 2427.

MGCP Keep-alive Port

The VG200 gateways use TCP as a keep-alive mechanism with Cisco CallManagers. Each gateway can be configured with one active Cisco CallManager and up to two backup Cisco CallManagers. One TCP keep-alive connection exists between a gateway and an active or backup Cisco CallManager. The MGCP keep-alive port represents the Cisco CallManager TCP server port used for this keep-alive mechanism. The default for this port should be set to 2428.

MGCP Device Recovery

Cisco CallManager health monitoring is the responsibility of the gateway. Inter Cisco CallManager and gateway keep-alives track the health condition of the controlling Cisco CallManager. Once the gateway detects an outage of the primary Cisco CallManager, it rehomes to the next highest priority Cisco CallManager.

Cisco IP Phone 7960 Support

The Cisco IP Phone 7960 uses the Skinny Station protocol with additional messages as required to support the new functionality of the Cisco IP Phone 7960. The Cisco CallManager controls the display on the Cisco IP Phone 7960 indirectly, by providing call and state information to the phone. The phone display processing itself is stateless. The Cisco IP Phone 7960 supports the G.711 u-law and a-law and the G.729, G.729B codecs.

Comfort Noise

The Cisco IP Phone 7960 supports comfort noise. When Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is enabled, the Cisco IP Phone 7960 generates a low-level white noise hiss to simulate the background circuit noise users experience on non-IP connections. Generated comfort noise is only heard on the handset of the station generating the noise; it is not transmitted to the station at the other end of the call. If VAD is disabled, the Cisco IP Phone 7960 provides a continuously streaming, end-to-end connection. VAD is enabled by default.

Caution If VAD is disabled on a network that exhibits a significant amount of jitter (for example, greater than 100 milliseconds per second), latency becomes noticeable to the user in the forms of delay and packet loss. Also, if the codec clocks are out of sync among the devices participating in the call, latency increases for the duration of the call. For example, if the codec clock at the transmitting end is 100 parts per million faster than the codec clock at the receiving end, latency increases to one-half second over the course of a one hour connection (at 8 kHz).

Either information contained in Silence Information Description (SID) frames or calculations performed on previous information packets determines the comfort noise level. If a call is made from one Cisco IP Phone 7960 to another Cisco IP Phone 7960, the transmitting device sends SID frames that enable the comfort noise generator on the receiving device to generate the proper level of comfort noise. If a call is made between a Cisco IP Phone 7960 and a device that does not send SID frames, the Cisco IP Phone 7960 calculates and generates the proper comfort noise level based on the background noise of previous information packets.

IP Voice Streaming Application

The IP Voice Streaming Application (Media Application) combines the Conference Bridge and the Media Termination Point (MTP) components that were in the previous versions of the Cisco CallManager. The Media Application comprises two parts: a Windows NT service and Windows NT kernel mode driver. The Windows NT service is responsible for registering with the Cisco CallManager and handling Device Recovery. The kernel driver processes and controls the voice data packets.

Services Management

Software processing services for the Cisco IP Telephony Solutions for the Enterprise are Cisco CallManager, TFTP Server, Cisco Messaging Interface (CMI), and IP Streaming Application (replaces the previously separate applications for Conference Bridge and MTP). Each of the processing elements is managed consistently using well-known Windows NT system administration tools.

Service Parameters

Parametric value adjustment controls the behavior of system services. In Cisco CallManager Release 3.0, the interface to these settings has been consolidated into two Cisco CallManager Administration web pages. These parameters can now be obtained from the database. In earlier versions of Cisco CallManager, these settings were adjusted in .ini files or the Registry, or presented in application configuration dialogs.

Enterprise Parameters

This feature provides system-wide parametric value adjustment for all services within the enterprise.

Global Directory User Pages

In Release 3.0, an embedded Directory (instead of the relational database) stores user data (for example, information such as name and DN). Access the information in this directory by a variety of applications. This release provides password-protected user access to speed dial and Call Forward All numbers.

Empty Terminal Capability Set

This feature allows the start and stop (re-direct) of streaming on an H.323 device without using MTP. This allows the use of supplementary services without losing the call or voice stream.

Empty Capabilities set, a technique used in H.323v2, allows the Cisco CallManager to instruct an H.323 gateway to transfer a call to a new endpoint in mid-call. This typically occurs upon no answer or if the IP phone user presses the transfer button.

Note The minimum IOS release required for Empty Terminal Capability set is 12.1(3)T.

CDR Modifications

Even when there are two or more Cisco CallManagers in a cluster, CDR records are written to a common database store. There may be more than one record logged per call.

Hold Feature Modifications

Table 1 contains the hold feature modifications with Release 3.0:

Table 1 Hold Feature Modifications 

Scenarios	Initial State (1st call ----- 2nd call)	Line Button Pressed	Final State (1st call ----- 2nd call)

12	Ring Out ----- OnHook	Pressed (Another Line)	OnHook ----- OnHook
13	Ring In ----- OnHook	Pressed (Another Line)	Ring In ----- OnHook
14	Connected ----- Hold	Pressed (Another Line)	Hold ----- Hold

E-911 Support

The Cisco CallManager supports delivering the ANI (Automatic Number Identification) through an H.323 interface to the PSTN using two methods: PRI/ISDN trunks and third-party CAMA (Centralized Automated Message Accounting) gateways.

VG200 Hook Flash Transfer

Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 provides the ability to initiate a hook-flash blind transfer from POTS devices connected to any VG200 FXS port that is controlled by Cisco CallManager through MGCP.

AMIS-A Support

AMIS-A (Audio Messaging Interface Specification-Analog) support allows VoIP devices to exchange AMIS-A Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) tones (A, B, C, and D) with the Cisco CallManager, in an out of band signal. The purpose of AMIS-A support is to facilitate Cisco uOne voice mail message exchange and feature transparency with legacy voice mail systems.

AMIS-A DTMF tones (A, B, C, and D) are transported in two different schemes. On the IP side, the tones are detected and generated in an out of band signaling format, whereas on the destination side of the gateways, the tones are detected and generated inband along with the voice path.

The main role of Cisco CallManager is to make sure that DTMF digits received from the sending device are correctly mapped to the corresponding signal format (or API) of the terminating device.

The following existing APIs are impacted to include the AMIS-A DTMF tones (A, B, C, and D):

•Skinny Station Protocol—StationKeyPadButton and StationOutputKeyPadButton

•Skinny Gateway Protocol—GatewayToDeviceReportDigit, DeviceToGatewayPlayTone, and Q.931 and Information message (for analog access gateway).

•H323 Protocol—H245 User Input Indication (h245-signal)

•MGCP Protocol—NTFY and RQNT

Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)

The Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), a plug-in application to the Cisco CallManager, enables you to add up to 10,000 phones and users to the Cisco CallManager application. Using BAT, you can also perform bulk modifications to phones and delete several phones at one time. Launch BAT from the Cisco CallManager Administration main window by selecting Application and click on BAT. For more information, refer to the Configuring the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) document (OL-4086-01).

DtSilenceFlag Service Parameter

The DtSilenceFlag service parameter controls whether silence is sent while a caller waits for the phone to be answered at the other end. By default, the DtSilenceFlag service parameter is set to False (disabled). When this parameter is set to False, the audio stream is sent on call proceeding instead of waiting for a connect from the other end. When this parameter is set to True, silence is sent until a connect is received from the phone at the other end.

One side effect occurs when the DtSilenceFlag parameter is set to 0 (disabled). When the DtSilenceFlag parameter is disabled and you are calling an analog phone, you may hear loopback (echo) of your audio until the phone on the other end is answered.

To eliminate this echo, you can manually add the DtSilenceFlag service parameter to the list of CallManager service parameters for each Cisco CallManager and set its value to T (enabled). The DtSilenceFlag service parameter does not automatically appear in the list of Cisco CallManager service parameters.

Caution Setting the DtSilenceFlag service parameter to T can result in one-way audio on 911 calls depending on the local carrier's configuration of the Central Office switch. The problem will only occur if the 911 switch fails to send a connect. If the 911 switch fails to send a connect, the calling phone continues to send silence, and the audio stream from the calling phone is never sent. Therefore, Cisco strongly recommends that you schedule a test 911 call with your 911 service provider to verify that this problem does not occur. The test scenario should include the following steps: 1. Schedule a test call with your 911 service provider during off-peak hours. 2. Make sure that the test call will be routed over a Cisco Access Digital Trunk Gateway or a Catalyst 6000 T1/E1 8 Port Voice Service Module. 3. Enable the DtSilenceFlag parameter. 4. Make the 911 call. 5. If the 911 operator can hear you, the test passed, and you can leave the DtSilence setting enabled. If not, disable it immediately.

Perform the following steps only if you wish to enable the DtSilenceFlag service parameter:

---

Step 1 Open Cisco CallManager Administration.

Step 2 Select Service > Service Parameters

Step 3 Select Cisco CallManager from the list of Configured Services.

Step 4 Enter DtSilenceFlag in the Param field. The service parameters are case-sensitive; ensure you enter it exactly as it appears.

Step 5 Choose Boolean from the Type drop-down list box.

Step 6 Choose T from the Value drop-down list box to set it to True (enabled).

Step 7 Click Update.

The DtSilenceFlag service parameter is now added to the list of service parameters, and its value is set to T (enabled).

---

Modems and Faxes

The following list shows the modems and faxes that are either supported or not in Release 3.0:

•g.723.1 fax between as/at/dt gateways = not supported

•g.711 fax between as/at/dt gateways = not supported

•g.729 fax-relay between IOS gateways = supported

•g.711 fax-relay between IOS gateways = supported

•g.729 fax-relay between cat6k gateways = supported

•g.711 fax passthrough between cat6k gateways = supported

•g.711 modem passthrough between cat6k gateways = supported

End User Interface

The end user interface for Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 database administration has changed. The new interface provides a system page divided into more precise categories, more links from one page to another, and faster search engines for devices (phones, gateways, etc.).

The main menu of the Cisco CallManager Administration user interface includes the following entries:

•System

•Route Plan

•Service

•Feature

•Device

•User

•Application

•Help

Some configuration screens contain data that are associated with a particular Cisco CallManager. A drop-down menu with all Cisco CallManager names displays. To see the data associated with a particular Cisco CallManager, choose the Cisco CallManager from the drop-down list box. Data displays accordingly.

The following sections contain the grouping of the different menu categories for the Cisco CallManager Database Administration.

System

The System category includes any system-related configurations that set the system's behaviors and options. It includes the following configurations:

•Server—Any machine that runs the Cisco CallManager and its application must be added in the Server Configuration page. The installation program automatically adds an entry on this page for the machine on which the Cisco CallManager is installed. Ensure there is a unique DNS host name or IP address is needed for each server.

•Cisco CallManager—This configuration allows you to define Cisco CallManagers in the system. Each server defined in the system (under Server Configuration) can have only one Cisco CallManager running on it. Therefore, you must define the server on which the Cisco CallManager resides before defining the Cisco CallManager. Every system, must have one primary Cisco CallManager. You can also configure the auto-registration and port settings for the Cisco CallManager.

•Cisco CallManager Group—This configuration page allows you to define groups of Cisco CallManagers. Only one Cisco CallManager Group in the system can be the default Cisco CallManager used by Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). A Cisco CallManager Group can have up to three Cisco CallManagers in a group.

•Date/Time Group—The Date/Time Group configuration page allows you to add, update, and delete Date/Time groups. Each group contains time zone and date and time format preferences. Ensure at least one Date/Time group in the system.

•Device Defaults—For each Cisco CallManager, this is a load ID, keypad template, and device pool associated with each model type. When a device is created in the system, the system can automatically identify the appropriate load ID (if applicable), keypad template (if applicable), and device pool for the device based on the Cisco CallManager to which it is registered. Based on each Cisco CallManager, you can view this configuration page.

•Region— Cisco CallManager can use the Regions feature in Data Administration to automatically select the type of call compression used between devices that are assigned to different (or the same) regions. The configuration pages allow you to define a region and set the type of compression within the region and between the new region and all existing regions.

•Device Pool—All devices in the Cisco CallManager system associate with a device pool. A device pool contains the region, Date/Time group, Cisco CallManager Group, and calling search space for auto-registration. You can create different device pools for devices in different regions, time zones for each Cisco CallManager Group, and calling search space combinations.

•Enterprise Parameters—This configuration page allows you to set parameter values for firmware load of all device types, LDAP settings, and Cisco IP Phone 7960-related settings in the system.

•Location—This configuration page allows you to define logical locations in the system and define bandwidth settings for the location.

Route Plan

This category allows you to configure route plans, partitions, and so on. It includes the following menu items:

•Partition—A partition is a collection of route patterns or call pickup group numbers. You can create route partitions and view a list of patterns and numbers associated with a specific partition.

•Calling Search Space—A Calling Search Space contains a list of partitions. Each partition has a list of DNs that a device can call. When a device is assigned to a calling search space, this device can call any number that is contained in its calling search space partition list. You can modify the ordering of partitions in a calling search space.

•Route Filter—A route filter allows you to control which dial patterns are routed or blocked. Only North American Numbering Plan (NANP) patterns can use tags associated with the route filters. If other numbering plans need to be supported, the database requires modification.

•Route Group—A route group allows you to order a list of gateways and ports for outgoing trunk preference. Devices that can belong to a route group are Analog Access ports, Digital Access PRI, Digital Access T1, and H.323 (network side) devices. All devices in a route group must have the same route pattern.

•Route List—A route list allows you to specify the order in which route groups are used.

•Route Pattern—You define the route patterns for the Cisco CallManager system. The Cisco CallManager uses the route patterns to route internal and outgoing calls.

•Translation Pattern—You define the translation patterns for the Cisco CallManager system.

•External Route Plan Wizard—The route plan wizard guides you through a number of configuration pages to configure the route plan. It creates route plans for NANP patterns only.

•Route Plan Report—Lists all the call park, call pickup, conference, route pattern, and translation patterns defined in the system. You select the pattern or DN, and the corresponding configuration page is shown. Since this page can potentially show a long list of records, we recommend viewing only 50 records at a time. You can choose to view all items by clicking on the All button.

Service

The Service category includes any applications that are add-on components:

•Cisco Messaging Interface—This interface allows you to configure trace and command line parameter settings for any server and is most commonly used to interface via SMDI to a third-party voice mail system.

•Cisco TFTP—This configuration page allows you to configure Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) service parameters. The TFTP service must be installed on a server defined in the Server Configuration page.

•Conference Bridge—This configuration allows you to define software and hardware conference bridge solutions, as well as Meet-Me numbers/patterns in the system. The initial page shows the Conference Bridge Configuration page. To navigate to other conference bridge-related configuration pages, select the links in the upper, right corner. To set up conference bridge, you must define either a conference bridge software or hardware type. The hardware type supports more capabilities than the software type.

–Conference Bridge Parameters—Use these parameters to set the maximum number of users in one ad hoc conference and the maximum number of users in one Meet-Me conference using Unicast for each Cisco CallManager. You must select the device pool, and the item list shows the Cisco CallManager belonging to the selected device pool.

–Meet-Me Number/Pattern—This capability allows you to configure the Meet-Me numbers and ranges for conference bridge calls.

Note You cannot have both hardware and software conference bridge or MTP devices on the same Cisco CallManager. If both exist, the Cisco CallManager will disable the software version.

•Media Termination Point—This component allows you to configure the Media Termination Point (MTP) settings.

•Service Parameters—The configuration page allows you to configure settings for the services installed in the system.When a server is selected in the item list, the configuration page shows all the services that are installed on the selected server. You can select a service of the selected server and configure the service parameter settings. A server must be defined in the Server Configuration page, and the services must be installed from the Install Plugins page.

•Trace—This application allows you to configure trace settings for the services installed in the system. You can display all configured services that are installed on the selected server by selecting a server in the item list. You can select a service from the Configured Services drop-down list box and configure the trace settings for the selected service. A server must be defined in the Server Configuration page and the services must be installed from the Install Plugins page.

•Transcoder—This application allows you to configure transcoder devices.

•Control Center—This application allows you to stop and start any services on a selected server.

Feature

The Feature category contains configurations to add phone features and feature-related parameters to the system. It includes the following configurations:

•Call Park—This configuration page allows you to specify call a park number or range in the system. Each partition has its own call park number/range.

•Call Pickup—This configuration page allows you to specify a call pickup number or range in the system. Each partition has its own call pickup number or range.

Device

The Device category contains configuration pages to configure devices (phones, gateways, and so on.) for the Cisco CallManager. It includes the following configurations:

•Add a New Device—This page replaces the Device Wizard in Release 2.4. You can add a gateway, MGCP gateway, phone, or Cisco uOne port from this configuration page. Based on the device type selected, the corresponding configuration page displays. Complete the information and click the Insert button to add the device.

•Cisco uOne Port—The Cisco Unified Open Network Exchange (uOne) optional software, available as part of Cisco IP Telephony Solutions, provides voice messaging capability to users when they are unavailable to answer calls. This page enables administrators to add, update, and delete Cisco uOne ports in the Cisco CallManager database.

For more information about configuring Cisco CallManager with Cisco uOne, refer to uOne Installation and Configuration, Corporate Edition 4.1E for CallManager 3.0 (OL-0489-01) and other documenting and online help included Cisco uOne.

•Gateway—In Release 3.0, the Gateway section of the user interface includes all gateways, including H.323 devices. Use specific pages to configure different types of gateways. The overall structure of the Gateways user interface is similar to the new Phone interface.

–Selecting Gateways—Release 3.0 replaces the method of selecting gateways (listing all gateways in a separate menu frame) from Release 2.4, has been replaced with a basic lookup function. The lookup allows you to search for gateways by the following categories: device name, description, DN, calling search space, or device pool. For each category, you can specify whether the content of the selected category begins with specific letters, contains specific letters, ends with specific letters, matches specific letters, contains no empty strings, or contains empty strings. The results display in a list of devices from which you can select.

–Configuring Gateways—You can select a device from the list of devices that the lookup gives you, and click a link or button to show a detailed view of the device in a secondary window. Any information that can be modified displays with a form element, so that it can be updated immediately. The only exceptions are the port, span, and trunk configuration details, which are not all shown at once. Instead, a summary of the ports is shown with links to edit the port details (for example, for an Analog Access device, a list of ports that are configured and each port's type, Loop Start, POTS, and so on.). The actual look and feel of the Gateway configuration pages are similar to what is shown for Phones and Users.

–Adding Gateways—The menu for Gateways includes a New Gateway device option. Clicking the link takes you to the Add a New Gateway page, where you can add a new gateway.

–Deleting Gateways—The interface provides a toolbar button in the configuration page for deleting the current device. A confirmation prompt asks whether you are sure and runs the delete script if you respond with yes. If you respond with no, you are returned to the configuration page, and no changes are made.

•MGCP—Due to the complexity of the MGCP gateways, the MGCP configuration is separated from the other gateway configurations.

•Phone—Release 3.0, limits the phone list to devices that can be classed appropriately as phones; that is, end user terminal devices. This includes the existing Cisco Phones and the new Cisco IP Phone 7960. Also included in this category is the H.323 Client (for example, NetMeeting), which is used as a phone.

•Phone Button Template—This template allows you to select a phone button template based on an existing phone template, or to create a new button layout.

User

The User category contains configuration pages that allow you to display and maintain information about users on the network. This category includes the following configurations:

•Add a New User—This configuration allows you to complete information for specific users and associate devices with those users.

•Global Directory—This configuration allows you to use a basic or advanced search to locate users. The Global Directory contains every user within a Cisco CallManager directory. The Cisco CallManager directory is a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory that imports device and extension information from the database. Its primary purpose is to maintain the associations of devices with users.

Application

The Application menu lists all plug-in applications. Once the application is installed, the application name displays under the application menu.

Help

The Help menu includes the following categories: Contents and Index, For this Page, and About Cisco CallManager.

•Contents and Index—This window shows an online documentation page. The documentation displayed here is not context-sensitive. It displays the top-level topics of the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide.

•For this Page (context-sensitive help)—All the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide pages include context-sensitive online documentation. When you click on this menu item, the documentation related to the selected configuration page displays in a separate window.

•About Cisco CallManager—This menu displays general information about Cisco CallManager. When the Details button is clicked, a list box shows the Cisco CallManager System version number (which is the Installation version), Cisco CallManager Administration version number, database information, and database dynamic link library (DLL) version numbers.

Important Notes

You should perform regular system backups as described in the section "Performing Backup and Restore Procedures" of the Installing Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 on the Cisco Media Convergence Server document.

Resolved Caveats

Resolved Caveats - Release 3.0(4)

Table 2 Cisco CallManager 3.0(4) Resolved Caveats

DDTS Number	Summary	Explanation
CSCds23080	Cisco CallManager crashes due to SNMP code failure.	The SNMP code now implements structured exception handling to avoid this failure type.
CSCds24423	Call Forward process hangs.	Cisco CallManager software has been modified to delete the forwarding process after the call finishes to a DN, which was set up to have call pickup group service but no call forwarding.
CSCds26179	Voice mail forwarding consumes near 100% of Cisco CallManager's resources.	Cisco CallManager has been modified so that it consumes less CPU time to find the available Cisco uOne port. When many users simultaneously access voice mail, the Cisco CallManager will not go to 100% CPU usage. Other users can still get a dial tone and make calls as normal.
CSCds18584	Web security and crash protection for web.	Changes were made to the authentication methods in the Cisco CallManager software.
CSCds29375	MWI with Lucent/DPA Migration Configuration with no Device Reg. = 100% CPU.	Engineers created two mailboxes on Octel system that are connected to a Calista DPA. The two mailboxes have the ability to turn on a message lamp if a message is received. The Cisco CallManager does not have a phone that corresponds to these mailboxes, so if the mailbox attempts to turn on an MWI, it will be an invalid phone number to the Cisco CallManager.
CSCds31447	GW(A)-IP(CFW-GW(B) AtoB Audio, BtoA RingBack.	Cisco CallManager software only sends the Alert message to a Symbol phone device when it receives a call progress message followed by Connect message (without the Alert message) from the terminating party.
CSCds23120	Forward no answer to PSTNextension provides dead air.	The Cisco CallManager software has been modified so, if the call was connected and service parameter "NoProgressForAlertingFlag" was not set, then send Progress message when receiving the Alert message and the Alert message was suppressed.
CSCds33345	Call from PSTN: forward no answer to PSTN rings once, then is dropped.	The Cisco CallManager software has been modified so, if the call was connected and service parameter "NoProgressForAlertingFlag" was not set, send Progress message when receiving the Alert message and the Alert message was suppressed.
CSCds47721	MWI state is not correct after phone resets.	After failover scenario, failback to database publisher did not occur.
CSCds47622	Cisco CallManager subscriber 100% CPU usage possibly due to high Cisco uOne use.
CSCds33334	Cisco CallManager Service stops unexpectedly for 1 minute.	An unsupported CTI device caused the Cisco CallManager to stop.
CSCds43525	AVVID: Devices will not reset from Cisco CallManager. They must be manually reset.	The problem occurred because the buffer size In SSAPIServer and SSAPIClient was not being set large enough to accommodate large customer calling search spaces. The buffer sizes were changed, and this fixed the error.
CSCds49615	Cisco uOne Call Forward hop count is independent from normal Call Forward hop count.	The Cisco CallManager software allows the customer to add the VoiceMailMaximumHopCount so that the voice mail hop count can be separated from the forward hop count. This allows the customer to access all Cisco uOne ports without the limitation of the forward hop count.
CSCds04998	IIS services fail and restart after a period of time.	This problem occurred when a Foreign key violation caused a database layer to throw a huge number of errors. Protection on BAT virtual Directory was set to HIGH(ISOLATED) so as not to crash whole of IIS even if this error occurs.
CSCds18567	Updating Call Forwarding parameter does not take effect.	The errors in the layer/DB Admin were affecting other parts of the system because the IIS process for the Cisco CallManager Administration web was not set to run as isolated (Application Protection set to High). Install needs to set the Cisco CallManager Administrator and Cisco CallManager User applications to run isolated to prevent problems in the web pages from affecting other services, including DB Layer Monitor and Cisco CallManager.
CSCds21447	Cisco uOne ports do not register with secondary Cisco CallManager on failover.	The Cisco uOne port possibly was connected to Cisco CallManager but not registered. The Cisco CallManager accelerates registration attempts by dropping registration requests but keeps the connection up and provides keepalives. The device showed re-register after some timeout, but Cisco uOne does not do this.
CSCds55666	Search space cannot handle partitions more than 1K.	The problem was caused by an attempt to concatenate the calling search space associated with a device to the end of a calling search space associated with a line.
CSCds53528	Cisco CallManager sends nonconforming H.323 messages to the gateway.	A nonconforming H.225 Information message was sent to the gateway when call forwarding hop counts were exceeded for an inbound call to an extension number that is set up with call forward all to itself.
CSCds11693	30 hop call forwarding using 100% CPU.	Cisco CallManager software has been enhanced to make call forwarding more efficient.
CSCds64152	Parking conference call and not retrieving causes stack walk.	The Cisco CallManager software has been changed to correctly handle the situation in which the conference call is parked and not retrieved.
CSCds36692	Having in excess of 200 translation patterns causes Cisco CallManager to take more than 10 minutes to initialize.	This has been fixed by increasing the timeout from 10 to 20 minutes.

Resolved Caveats - Release 3.0(3b)

Table 3 Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(3b) Resolved Caveats 

DDTS Number	Summary	Explanation
CSCds32253	If you install the publisher, then change the Administrator password for SQL Srv, installing further subscribers will fail.	After changing the password on the publisher (specifically the SQL Svc user), you cannot successfully add further subscribers into the cluster.
CSCds29243	The Cisco IP Phone 7960 stops responding and only displays the text "Opening."	This problem can occur when all Cisco CallManagers in the phone's redundancy group list are unavailable. After attempting to connect to the Cisco CallManagers in its group list, the phone stops responding eventually.
CSCds21180	After Cisco CallManager failure, some phones require reboot to reregister.	A Cisco IP Phone 7960 that unregisters from all configured Cisco CallManagers after a Cisco CallManager failure may require rebooting to restore connectivity.
CSCdr95107	The Cisco IP Phone 7960 crashes when receiving malformed audio packets.	When connecting to Cisco uOne voice mail (where a G.729 connection is forced), Cisco uOne sends malformed G.729 packets, which cause the phone to crash and reboot.
CSCdr49092	The dialing plan script incorrectly blocks the n11 office code.	This problem will cause the calls to get a reorder tone if the dialer enters the office code as X11.

Resolved Caveats - Release 3.0(3)

Table 4 lists and describes Caveats that were resolved in Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(3).

Table 4 Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(3) Resolved Caveats 

DDTS Number	Summary	Explanation
Cisco CallManager
CSCds21424	Cisco CallManager terminated abnormally with memory corruption and a faulty alarm message.	An alarm message with an incorrect parameter caused memory corruption.
CSCds19482	CPU usage cycling 40% to 70% every 20 seconds.	CPU was tracking between about 70% and 40% in a regular cycle (20 seconds high; 20 seconds low). All the other Cisco CallManagers were below 10%. A Cisco IP Phone 7960 that was constantly requesting the same information because it missed a message caused this event.
CSCds18538	MessageWaitingOn or MessageWaitingOff string update causes runtime error in service parameters.	When the user attempts to assign a number to the MessageWaitingOn or MessageWaitingOff service parameters, a run-time error line 74 displays.
CSCds17394	Cisco CallManager 100% CPU usage.	Cisco CallManager CPU usage went to near 100%, and users experienced very slow response from Cisco CallManager.
CSCds11873	Cisco CallManager 3.0 does not send SMDI during transfer on busy to Octel 250.	Cisco Call Manager 3.0 does not send an SMDI link message to an Octel 250 when the Octel does an unsupervised transfer to a busy (or unregistered) station that forwards back into the Octel.
CSCds07855	Call pickup of blind transfer occurs.	1. Phone A calls Phone B. 2. Phone B answers call. 3. Phone B presses transfer, then dials Phone C, then presses transfer button and hangs up phone. 4. Phone C rings. 5. Phone D tries to do a Call Pickup, fails, and puts itself On-Hook. 6. Phone A hears Re-Order and Phone C continues to ring. 7. Phone C is answered. 8. Connection completes between Phone A and Phone C. Duplicate of CSCds09040 (call pickup groups are not working if transfer started the call to the pickup group number).
CSCds06332	Call forward is not working when multiple hops are down.
CSCds05118	Calls drop randomly on a 5300 phone load when an error occurs.	Calls drop through a 7200 or 5300 gateway randomly. A TCP error coming from a call that is disconnecting normally causes this problem.
CSCds02656	Intercluster dead air —Zero bandwidth.	This occurs when an entry in the route list does not respond. If bandwidth is used up, call is being routed to the secondary CM and then the call eventually times out after a long period of "dead air."
CSCds02623	Intercluster dead air—busy.	Cluster 09 Phone 99999 calls Cluster 04 Phone 43520. DN 43520 is off hook; DN 99999 gets dead air.
CSCds02309	Subscriber Dial Pattern Change needs Cisco CallManager stop/start.	The problem occurs because the Cisco CallManager software does not handle registration of more than 64 DNs/route patterns per route list.
CSCdr99090	Symbol phone calling out via gateway does not complete.	Symbol phone calling out via a 5300 to a PSTN number rings twice, and then the symbol phone goes idle. Symbol phone calling out via a DT24+ to a PSTN number rings twice, and then the symbol phone says call declined. If the PSTN number is forwarded directly to voice mail, (it does not ring), then the call completes, and voice mail can be accessed
CSCdr97447	Call pickup groups stop working.	Call pickup groups seem to work OK for a while after they are created or after the Cisco CallManager is restarted. However, after an undetermined period of time, they cease to function.
CSCdr84584	Cisco CallManager fails to cut-through voice-path after progress message.	Gateway used: AS5300. The gateway is handling the progress message correctly; on receiving progress message, the conference is created ,and an H245 cap request is sent out to Cisco CallManager. Cisco CallManager responds with status message: message not compatible with call state or message type nonexistent or not implemented. CSCdr80083 is a duplicate of this caveat.
CSCdr79073	DisplayIEDeliveryFlag=True causes no connect through T1 CAS.	Under Cisco CallManager Service Parameters, if DisplayIEDeliveryFlag=T for True, a call will not set up if routed to PBX via PRI then off PBX to other equipment via T1 CAS. The IP phone caller will get Fast Busy. With this flag set to T(rue), you normally see the calling and called party name delivery in the SETUP and CONNECT messages.
CSCdr70073	Cisco CallManager server reboots forever if you do not log in.	Several Cisco CallManager servers would reboot forever if you did not log in. This problem began after upgrading to Release 3.0(1) from an earlier version of Release 3.0. The problem only occurs when the Publisher cannot contact the subscriber. Approximately 65 seconds after the message displays on the screen asking the user to press Control-Alt-Delete to logon, the server reboots.
CSCdr57950	Ringing tone on the phone does not correspond with the call state.
CSCdr57966	Request for tone on hold.	A ToneOnHold service parameter has been added for Cisco CallManager.
CSCdr57963	No hold tone when a user places a particular call on hold.	No hold tone occurs when releasing a call from hold if the other party has also put the call on hold.
CSCdr58885	Illegal sequence of DT 24+ for releasing the line.	When DT 24+ disconnects the line, it always takes 30 seconds (thus, until T305 timer expires) to release the B-channel completely.
CSCdr57872	DT 24+ ignores progress indicator No.8 if disconnect message is received.	DT24+ ignores the DISCONNECT message that contains progress indicator No. 8, "in-band information or appropriate pattern now available." It seems that DT24+ seems to consider only the DISCONNECT message. The DT24+ releases the call.
CSCdr57383	Line lamp does not blink at different rates on multiple line phones.	When phone has with same line appearance on multiple phones, A, B and C., call comes in and A answers call. A places call on hold. All occurrences of this line appear the same on all phones. No differentiation designates phone that actually placed call on hold.
CSCdr57362	No hold tone occurs while call is parked.	When a call is received and parked, the calling party hears nothing while parked.
CSCdr57272	OutofBandwidthText message will not display on a Cisco IP Phone 7960.	The "Not Enough Bandwidth" message that displays on a Cisco IP Phone when calling between locations that are out of bandwidth will not display on a Cisco IP Phone 7960. This text displays correctly on the Cisco IP Phone 12 SP and other Cisco IP Phones.
CSCdr56276	Call waiting times out after 22 seconds.	Phone A calls phone C. Call is established, A and C are conversing. Phone B calls phone C. Phone C hears call waiting beep, and phone B hears ringback. Phone C does not immediately switch to the new call, so, after ~22 seconds, phone B gets reorder. All phones are set up for no call forwarding of any kind. In New Zealand, the phone company does not timeout calls until 3 minutes elapse. If you call someone and they do not answer, their phone will ring for 3 minutes or until the originator hangs up, whichever occurs first. The customer thinks call waiting should behave the same way. The customer wants to know whether there is a timer they can configure. A new system parameter called CallWaitingTimeout was added. The default value for this parameter, if not present, is 180 seconds (3 minutes).
CSCdr55758	45-second delay to reorder on invalid # intercluster call, 2 Cisco CallManagers per cluster.	A number of problems exist where calls have no progress and, after approximately 45 seconds, revert to reorder tone. This problem relates to defining intercluster H.323 from source cluster to primary and secondary Cisco CallManagers in another cluster using route groups with both primary and secondary defined.
CSCdr55189	Cisco IP Phone 7960 takes 7 minutes to work if the pvid of the phone is not equal to the pvid of the Cisco CallManager.	When a Cisco  IP Phone 7960 is attached to a Cisco Catalyst 6000 switch, if the pvid on the switch port is changed, the phone may take up to 7 minutes to reconfigure and connect to the Cisco CallManager.
CSCdr52811	No call progress occurs when calling a busy user over DE 30+.	This problem occurs when placing a call out a DE 30+, and the called user is busy. The Cisco IP Phone displays date and time instead of user busy tone.
CSCdr49092	The dialing plan script incorrectly blocks the n11 office code.	This problem will cause the calls to get a reorder tone if the dialer enters the office code as X11.
CSCdr39846	Cisco CallManager is not interpreting Screening Indicator correctly.	Cisco IP phone prefixes a random or garbage character to the number display on the LCD screen. This occurs when a call is placed from the PSTN to an IP phone with the following configuration: PSTN—>AS5300—> Cisco CallManager—>Cisco IP Phone. The AS5300 uses ISDN PRI signalling to set up the call.
CSCdr35729	Cisco CallManager with Cisco Catalyst 6000 does not support G.723.1 variable voice payload.	The problem was fixed in transcoder load M001A300 and conference bridge load C001A300.
CSCdr14562	Clicking too rapidly on the Update button in the Cisco CallManager Administration Configuration screen can cause the browser to stop responding.	The browser seems to be connecting to the server, but it remains in a wait state from which it cannot recover. The browser does not respond to any user input. The status area at the bottom of the window displays the message Validating....
CSCdp97606	When a port on a Cisco Unicast Conference Bridge is conferenced back to itself, a feedback loop is created in the conference bridge and all participants will experience audio feedback.	The fix prevents a Meet Me conference participant from transferring the call to the same Meet Me conference number, thus preventing the feedback problem from occurring. Now, when the Meet Me conference participant attempts to transfer the call to the same Meet Me conference number, Cisco CallManager will ignore the transfer button.
DC Directory
CSCdp60775	DC Directory exits with no warning or alert.	The Cisco CallManager User pages are not accessible, or the user administration pages return errors when accessed. Under extreme conditions such as low memory or network problems, the DCD Directory Server service could stop running. This causes the web pages mentioned above to function incorrectly or not at all.
CSCdp98131	DC Directory server fails on restart during avvid_cfg.	The problem was due to Windows not cleaning up the shared memory resources quickly enough. Instead of stooping and restarting DCD, avvid_cfg now sleeps for 65 seconds to allow MetaLink sufficient time to discover the DC Directory admin node.
CSCdr05501	Cisco User Preferences upgrade removed DC Directory service.	The Cisco User Preferences Pages upgrade installation ran with no apparent problems. After the install completed, the machine was rebooted as instructed. When the system came back up, no DC Directory service was present.
CSCdr20006	Incorrect search results display in the User Directory search.	The problem occurs when 1. A search is executed from either the basic or advanced search pages. 2. The browser Back button is clicked. 3. A new search is entered and executed. After the above steps are performed, the results of the first search display as the results for the second search, which is incorrect.
CSCdr32527	After adding a device, you must close the browser to display the updated, added device.	If devices are associated with a user, the list of available devices is cached for faster retrieval. Consequently, if new devices are added after the device information for users is cached, the new devices will not be available for association with users.
CSCdr36451	First call to Associate Devices burdens CPU badly.	When creating a new user using the User Preference pages, addition of the user to the directory proceeds flawlessly. However, once the user is installed, attempting to associate devices leads to a very badly burdened CPU. Watching the appropriate performance monitor and task manager screens shows that DC directory jumps to 100% processor utilization in three distinct segments, over a space of roughly 30 seconds. Because the web page is providing no feedback at this time, an end user could decide that the system is hung.
CSCdr36464	500 device limit leads to bad User Preferences screens.	The implementation of the search limit for devices that can be associated with users can result in an inaccurate representation of which devices a user currently controls. When a subset of devices is shown that contains devices that the user controls, these devices may be inaccurately represented as not being associated with the user.
CSCdr39475	Add a New User: session object timeout error.	When creating the first user from the Cisco CallManager User > Add a New User screen, the resulting page states: Error The following error occurred while trying to load the requested page. Sorry, your session object has timed out. Click here to Begin a New Search. This error occurs only on the first instance. Subsequent execution of User > Add a New User proceeds without errors, and you can continue defining a new user. If you open another browser, the first instance will fail, but subsequent attempts will succeed.
CSCdr51705	DCX500.exe is taking up 1 GB of memory.	Memory leaks in DC Directory can occur in customer environments containing very large numbers of phones and users.
CSCdr53243	MetaLink does not continue to pull data from database after reboot.	DC Directory does not pull all needed information from the database after rebooting.
CSCdr84999	User Preferences pages must not display all of the Cisco CallManager devices by default.	The User Preferences pages no longer support sorting because of its CPU intensive nature on the server side and because of the potentially large amount of data that would need to transmitted to the client if it were performed on the client side.
CSCdr86719	You must delete a user twice before the user is removed from user list.	The problem is another manifestation of browser (IE) caching. The request to delete a user was not being submitted to the web server. The browser simply displayed a previous deletion results page from its cache. This has been resolved by setting the CacheControl property on the Response object to force IE to always refresh certain pages from the web server rather than rendering them from its cache.
CSCdr88591	Opening up the 64th provider crashes the Cisco CallManager.	When JTAPI tries to open provider one after another without shutting down previously open providers, at the most, 63 providers could be open. If an attempt is made to open the 64th provider, it crashes the Cisco CallManager. The Cisco CallManager service must be restarted manually. The problem was caused by DC Directory not allowing more than 64 simultaneous connections to the directory. The client hung while opening the 65th connection, thus causing the SDL Router services to time out, leading to the Cisco CallManager crash.
CSCdr02303	DC Directory crashes under severe network conditions.	DC Directory stops working.
CSCdr02305	DC Directory takes up to an hour to restart due to an IPC initialization failure.
Cisco IP Phone
CSCdr77894	Intermittent cutouts are heard on Cisco IP Phone 79xx phones when talking to Cisco uOne Messaging.	Intermittent cutouts of Cisco uOne Messaging system prompts sent to Cisco IP Phone 7900 family phones occur. The problem is not reproducible on Cisco IP Phone 30VIP and 12-SP+ models. Actual voice recordings such as spoken names and voice messages appear to be unaffected.

Resolved Caveats - Release 3.0(2d)

Table 5 lists and describes Caveats that are resolved in Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(2d).

Table 5 Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(2d) Resolved Caveats 

DDTS Number	Summary	Explanation
Automated Installation
CSCdr80536	The SQL license is set to per server with a default of 5 concurrent connections.	The automated install of SQL server sets the licensing to 'per server' with a default of 5 concurrent connections. Per our licensing, no restrictions on concurrent connections for systems supporting up to 10,000 phones. The current setting prohibits installs of more than 5 servers in a cluster.
CSCdr71568	The automated installation program does not cap SQL memory on the database publisher or subscriber.	When using the automated installation, SQL memory usage is not capped on publishers or subscribers. A potential exists of a Cisco CallManager crash if SQL consumes too much memory.
CSCdr65911	Installation CD does not install Compaq Utilities correctly on the Cisco Media Convergence Server MCS-7830.	Disc 1 of the Cisco CallManager 3.0(1) CDs does install the Compaq Utilities 39 MB partition. However, for some reason, when the user presses F10 during the boot sequence there is an error message displays: The System Partition Utilities are not available on this system.

Cisco Catalyst 6000 24 Port FXS Analog Interface Module (WS-X6624-FXS)
CSCdr64557	VAD causes multiple audio dropouts with Octel voice mail.	The user complains that audio, when accessing the Octel voice mail system, drops out intermittently. The dropout was reported to be from a fraction of a second to several seconds in duration, of almost continuous frequency. The problem was noted to occur even during the Octel voice prompts at the beginning of the session, indicating a problem in the stream from the Octel to the IP phone through the Cisco Catalyst 6000 24 Port FXS Analog Interface Module (WS-X6624-FXS) gateway.
CSCdr68352	WS-X6624-FXS ports are out of service.	Shortly after all ports become concurrently off hook, Cisco Call Manager will report some ports status as "d" or "3" for anywhere from an hour to all day. Dick Tracy will report ports as either "NormalTalking Undefined!!" or "CallClearing Loop Open." Status via Telnet shows the ports as either on hook or off hook. When the ports are in either of these two states, they appear to be unusable because Cisco CallManager is using the next analog gateways in the route list.

SNMP
CSCdr59957	SNMP agent sends bad response packet for certain Cisco IP Phone addresses.	Given any IP Phone, with IP address X.X.X.Y, where • X is any valid IP address range, and • Y ranges from 0 to 15 the Cisco CallManager SNMP agent cannot decode the last byte of the IP address correctly (in the preceding case, the byte represented by 'Y'). This causes the Cisco CallManager SNMP Agent to report an incorrect IP address for the Cisco IP Phone in question. The last byte of the IP address for that phone would be reported incorrectly. The only case for which the IP address will be reported correctly is when a Cisco IP Phone is assigned a network address greater than 15 for its last byte. Using the preceding example of X.X.X.Y, where Y ranges from 16 to 255, the Cisco CallManager SNMP agent will correctly report the IP address of the phone.

Open Caveats

Open Caveats for Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(4)

Table 6 describes possible unexpected behaviors by Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(4). Unless otherwise noted, these caveats apply to all Cisco CallManager 3.0 releases up to and including Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(4).

Table 6 Open Caveats for Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(4) 

DDTS number	Description
CSCds57155	Inside DialTone signal changed to the Alerting signal. Workaround: No workaround exists.
CSCdr44668	Call only forwards once if route point does not have forward on No Answer. Workaround: Configure a forward on no answer destination to point to some arbitrary other phone; then the call will not have the problem.
CSCds54455	The Cisco IP Phone 7960's PC port is not hardened against 5MBPS(64-512K byte) streams. Workaround: No workaround exists.
CSCds57240	During the automated install of a 7835, the CPU might go to 100% and take 10-15 minutes to login if the machine has Cisco Applications installed. Workaround: Kill process WFCCNEngineServ and continue with install.
CSCds41837	Route list fails to insert the route group when Enter is pressed. Workaround: Click the Insert button with the mouse instead of pressing Enter.
CSCdr48076	Cisco IP Phone 7960 transfer button causes malfunction of Resume button. Workaround: The workaround is for caller A to go on and off hook and then press the EndCall softkey. This will enable the Resume softkey.
CSCdr53720	Transfer from Cisco uOne to busy phone without forwarding does not complete. Workaround: Have phones forward on busy to voice mail.
CSCds47878	Resume button will not display after transfer is cancelled. Workaround: Click the line button twice to resume the call.
CSCdr91539	Messages button on 79xx exhibits incorrect behavior w/multiple MWI. Workaround: Once the user accesses the voice mail, the user can enter the DN of the line from which the user wants to retrieve the voice mail from, and the user can retrieve the voice mail for the line that the user intended to retrieve.
CSCds03249	Label line setting for phone is inoperable Workaround: The Cisco CallManager does not yet implement this feature.The directory number is the information that appears.
CSCds26003	Lack of AutoRegistration DNs causes memory leak in DLLHOST.EXE Workaround: Increase the range of DNs to be used by AutoRegistration. Then, to reduce the memory used by DLLHOST.EXE, open Component Services from the Administrative Tools menu. Open the Components and find the DBL component. Shut down DBL by right clicking and selecting shutdown. The DBL component will restart on its own when needed.
CSCds53378	AVVID: Cisco CallManager upgrade with locations prevents SW-based conference from working. Workaround: Remove all devices from the location hub, or add a large amount of bandwidth to the hub location (>10000 kbps).
CSCds61266	AVVID: Call Forward No Answer and Call Forward Busy stop working. Workaround: Select the affected line and issue an update. This will reload the forward table information.
CSCds62385	Cisco CallManager sends alerting before connect while in progress state. Workaround: No workaround exists for this problem.
CSCds43411	Changes to Calling Search Spaces do not happen until Cisco CallManager reloads. Workaround: Stop and restart Cisco CallManager.
CSCds43792	Sending Disconnect with cause equals an unallocated number. Workaround: No workaround exists for this problem.
CSCds55926	AVVID: DTMF is not relayed in a conference call with Cisco IP Phones. Workaround: Call First as a single call to whatever end point requires DTMF, then conference in other callers.
CSCds55942	AVVID: Call produces cumulative feedback when conferencing back to itself. Workaround: Avoid conferencing a call back on itself.
CSCds57777	AVVID: PerfMon H.323 gateway is reinstantiated at Cisco CallManager reset of gateway. Workaround: No workaround exists for this problem.
CSCds93939	Cisco IP Phone 7960 - dejitter buffer never shrinks when average jitter decreases. Workaround: Put the call on hold and resume. This will start a new RTP stream and reset the jitter buffer.
CSCds34596	Can't Delete A Server - Error: 1576 UNDEFINED Workaround: Take the following text and create RemoveServerFromDB.bat. Then, execute RemoveServerFromDB.bat without command line parameters. This will display the command line parameters required. The batch file will remove all services, devices, parameters, and associated server records.
CSCds20015	Cisco IP Phone 7960 P3 port does not forward for first 9 seconds after linkup. Workaround: If the problem is with getting DHCP on bootup, use the Windows utility 'winipcfg' to renew the DHCP address after the PC has been up for more than 9 seconds.
CSCds55086	Access violation in svchost during Win2K startup. Workaround: No workaround exists.
CSCdr80638	Locations do not recognize a Transcoder correctly. Workaround: No workaround exists.No workaround exists.
CSCdr61739	dbprocs - error - getProcessConFigInt - SdlMaxRouterLatencySecs. Workaround: This message can be ignored.
CSCds43822	SQL Timeouts during Mass Deletion. Workaround: Try setting the 'MaxCDRRecords' in increments(9,500,000, 9,000,000, ...) and restarting the 'Database Layer Monitor' service between increments. This will accelerate the delete.
CSCds11354	No ringback occurs on transfer from PSTN calls coming in on IOS gateway. With Cisco Call Manager 3.0(1) connecting to the PSTN via an H.323 gateway, if a call comes into a phone and it is blind transferred to another phone, the PSTN side will only hear dead air; they will not hear ringback. Workaround: Resolving this caveat requires IOS changes. To work around the problem, replace the IOS gateway with a Cisco Digital Access Trunk Gateway (DE30, DT24+) or a Cisco Catalyst 6000 8 Port Voice T1/E1 and Services Module.
CSCds03249	Label line setting for phone is inoperable. Customer has a requirement to change the display of the line buttons to show information other than the directory number. If the "Line settings for device" under the phone configuration is set with a label other than the default (directory number), the string entered in the configuration does not display on the 7960. The directory number displays instead. Workaround: None. This feature is not currently supported.
CSCdr93939	In times of network congestion or high variable delay, the jitter buffer on a Cisco IP Phone 7960 will grow to a large value in an attempt to compensate for the large amount of jitter. When network conditions improve and the jitter returns to a low value, the phone will continue to buffer packets for a long time in its jitter buffer, thereby causing unacceptable voice delay. Workaround: Put the call on hold and then resume it; this will start a new RTP stream and reset the jitter buffer.
CSCdr93620	Database migration of Cisco uOne ports from Cisco CallManager Release 2.4 to Release 3.0 fails. After a database migration form Cisco CallManager Release 2.4 to Release 3.0, you cannot create a voice mail port in Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 with same voice mail DN as specified in Release 2.4 (the voice mail ports are not migrated, but Cisco CallManager still reports that the DNs are being used). Workaround: Remove voice mail ports and MWI entries in Cisco CallManager Release 2.4 before the migration takes place. Voice mail ports are not migrated from Cisco CallManager Release 2.4 to Release 3.0.
CSCdr92267	One-way voice occurs on consecutive calls; hold or reset will fix. One-way audio can occur on consecutive calls from a Cisco IP Phone to another Cisco IP Phone. The problem has occurred on different phones at different times of the day for different users. Workaround: The known workaround at this time is to reset the phone or, while in the call, put it on/off hold.
CSCdr85945	Incorrect help definitions appear for Hold service parameters. •HoldType — Determines whether the hold light flashes more rapidly for the user who placed a call on hold in the case where two different phones share the same directory number. Default is still F. •ToneOnHoldTime — Determines the time interval between tones when a call is on hold. Default is 10 seconds, and the value range is 3 to 99999. Workaround: Use the above definitions instead of the definitions in the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide and online help.
CSCdr81135	Devices cannot be associated to user using Netscape; Javascript error. Using Netscape 4.7 or 4.73 on different PC's. Go to Global Directory, select user, press Associate Devices and go to User Device Assignment screen. When you check a device box, at the bottom of the browser, it displays "Javascript error: Type 'Javascript:' into Location for details." When you press update; the device does not get associated with the user. Workaround: Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0.
CSCdr50642	After the initial installation, changing a server name to an IP address will cause phones not to boot. Auto-registering phones will not connect to Cisco CallManager. The reason they do not connect is that the configuration file still contains the server name. Workaround: After changing the server name to an IP address, you must stop and then restart the Cisco TFTP service.
CSCdr42238	When communicating to the PSTN via a Cisco Catalyst 6000 PRI Gateway, audio is lost, and the call has to be reinitiated. Workaround: On the Cisco Voice Gateway 200, enter the following command from the IOS global configuration prompt: vg200(config)# mgcp modem passthru CA This command disables FAX operations and should not be used for Cisco VG 200 Gateways connected to FAX machines.
CSCdr41623	When a port on a Cisco Unicast Conference Bridge is conferenced back to itself, a feedback loop is created in the conference bridge, and all participants will experience audio feedback. Even if all phones involved in the conference hang up, the conference bridge still has a feedback loop because two or more ports of the conference bridge are conferenced together, and neither has disconnect supervision. Workaround: You must perform a conference bridge reset to clear the conference.
CSCdr41545	The problems described here can occur during database conversion when migrating from Cisco CallManager Release 2.4 to Cisco CallManager Release 3.0.
	Auto-registration and range was enabled in the Cisco CallManager Release 2.4 database, but the migrated Release 3.0 database shows auto-registration disabled. Workaround: Enable auto-registration using Cisco CallManager Administration.
	The default phone templates for a Cisco CallManager may not be what you expect. This occurs because the defaults table does not migrate from Release 2.4 to Release 3.0. Defaults are inserted per Cisco CallManager when a Cisco CallManager is added. The Cisco CallManager inserts the first Cisco IP Phone model 12 SP+ and model 30 VIPs phone templates found. Workaround: Change the default phone templates using Cisco CallManager Administration.
	A route filter was added during the installation, even though a route filter was not migrated. This route filter has no setting. Workaround: None is needed. The installation adds a default route filter by design.
	The Cisco Messaging Interface was set in Release 2.4, but in Release 3.0, the service parameter for the voice mail number is blank. This problem occurs because voice mail records do not migrate from Release 2.4. This is by design. The DBConvert.txt file in c:\ describes any records that do not migrate. Workaround: Set up the Cisco Messaging Interface using Cisco CallManager Administration.
	A Call Park number was migrated, but a Cisco Call Manager was not assigned; therefore, the Call Park did not work. Call Park migrated, but when you try to edit the Call Park and select a Cisco CallManager, none are displayed in the list. The Cisco CallManager CallParkMap entry is not converted because the Cisco CallManagers are not converted. Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 assigns any parks migrated to the first Cisco CallManager inserted. Workaround: Delete the Call Park and add another Call Park.
	Cisco uOne ports did not migrate. This occurs because voice mail devices do not convert from Release 2.4 to Release 3.0. Workaround: Add the voice mail ports using Cisco CallManager Administration.
	An intercluster gateway migrates from Release 2.4 but is not shown as an intercluster gateway in Release 3.0. Workaround: Change the gateway to an intercluster gateway using Cisco CallManager Administration.
CSCdr41545 (continued)	Route patterns set up as blocks do not display in the route pattern list. The problem occurs because Release 3.0 migrate these records, but they are listed in the Numplan table as devices instead of routes. Workaround: To correct the problem, try to find a device that matches the blocking route pattern, delete it, and add it as a route pattern. Another possible workaround is to edit the Numplan entry in the SQL Server Enterprise Manager and change tkPatternUsage from 2 (Device) to 5 (Route) and copy fkDialPlan from another record into this record.
	Phone locations are not migrating from Release 2.4 to Release 3.0 Workaround: Set the device location in Cisco CallManager Administration.
CSCdr40169	No SMDI information is sent to Voice Mail on forward busy if the phone is in a partition. When a call is forwarded due to busy destination, the destination identification information is not sent to the SMDI interface. The caller then gets the Voice Mail generic greeting instead of being mapped into a specific voice mailbox. Workaround: None.
CSCdr39493	You can not assign the same extension to a Cisco Catalyst 6000 24 Port FXS Analog Interface Module and a Cisco IP Phone. Workaround: None. For Cisco CallManager Release 3.0, only MGCP gateways (VG 200s) allow FXS ports to share the same phone number with a Cisco IP Phone. This shared line capability is not supported for other analog gateways in this release.
CSCdr39403	Database notification does not work in certain situations. Updates made from the Cisco CallManager administration page are registered but not reflected in the MIB tables until the SNMP data collector or Cisco CallManager (depending on the type of update) is restarted. In Cisco CallManager clusters, changes to global values in a cluster environment are reflected on the MIB table that is local to the change but not in all MIB tables throughout the cluster. Updates will only be reflected on the MIB table that is local to the change, with the following exceptions: •When a time, region or any static item is deleted, no MIB tables will reflect the change. •When groups and regions are added, no MIB tables will reflect the change. Workaround: Restart the SNMP data collector or Cisco CallManager to display updated values in the MIB tables. If a Cisco CallManager cluster is involved, you must restart all SNMP data collectors to show consistent values in the MIB tables throughout the cluster. Examples (local): To remedy the two exceptions to local MIB table updating •When deleting a time, region, or any static item, restart the SNMP data collector for the local Cisco CallManager installation to see the update reflected in the MIB table. •When adding groups and regions to a Cisco CallManager cluster, restart the SNMP data collector, which will help to update the MIB table. In Cisco CallManager clusters, changes to global values in a cluster environment will not be reflected in all of the MIB tables. You must restart all SNMP data collectors in order to show consistent values in the MIB tables throughout the cluster. Examples (cluster): •When adding or deleting multiline extensions of an existing telephone, you must restart the Cisco CallManager system associated with that particular phone to activate the change in the MIB table for phone extensions. •When changing the primary Cisco CallManager name and description, you must restart Cisco CallManager to see the changes in the Primary MIB table. If the update involves a Cisco CallManager cluster, you must restart all Cisco CallManagers in the cluster to see the changes reflected in all the tables.
CSCdr36406	A <CmdArg>[Object Error]<noCmdArg> error message returns when a user is added via the Cisco CallManager User Administration web pages. If users have been added to the system via private scripts, the directory may not allow some userid name conflicts to occur, but does not properly report the conflict. For example, a user with the userid of "jsmith@company.com" will conflict with the proposed userid of "jsmith." This problem should not appear through normal usage of the product. Workaround: Use a different userid for the new user or access the directory directly to delete the conflicting user.
CSCdr36331	Going from low bit rate to low bit rate, the wrong counter is sent from a transcoder. The problem occurs when the system is configured so that a transcoder is invoked to transcode between two low-bit-rate codecs (for example, from a G.723 to a G.729). Note Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 does not support the use of a transcoder to support low-bit-rate to low-bit-rate transcoding. When a transcoder is invoked to transcode between two low-bit-rate codecs, the transcoder consumes the internal resources of two transcoders, but only one transcoder is allocated. As a result, more transcoders are available to be allocated in the system than there are internal transcoding resources to support them. When all available internal transcoding resources are in use, and another transcoder is allocated and begins transcoding, the voice quality on all calls going through that transcoder device degrade noticeably, and, sometimes, severely. Workaround: It is highly recommended that the system be carefully configured so that transcoding between low-bit-rate codecs is not required. There is no workaround to this problem other than limiting the number of calls through a given transcoder device by expanding the number of transcoders available. If there are at least twice as many transcoders available as there are calls that need them at any given time, the problem should be eliminated.
CSCdr34988	The first Cisco IP Phone 7960 in a daisy chain stopped communicating with the Cisco CallManager. If you connect Cisco IP Phone 7960s together in a line (that is, daisy chain them), a problem with one phone can affect all subsequent phones in the line. All phones in the line also share the bandwidth. Workaround: None. Daisy chaining of Cisco IP Phones is not supported. Each Cisco IP Phone should be directly connected to a switch port.
CSCdr28947	Transfers from Cisco uOne to invalid extensions by pressing * 8 leave the caller in silence. For example, if a user logs into a mailbox, presses * 8 to transfer, and enters an invalid extension, the transfer is attempted, but the user does not hear anything after the standard Cisco uOne prompt plays. In this situation, the caller is on hold pending transfer completion. The transfer never completes because the extension was invalid, and reorder was returned to the uOne port. Re-order is not recognized by the Cisco uOne port, so no further action is taken, and the caller is left on hold. Workaround: •The user can hang up the call and call the person directly. •Always transfer calls through Cisco uOne using a valid extension.
CSCdr20726	H.323 phone does not hear progress tones during call setup. Workaround: None. This feature is not supported in Cisco CallManager Release 3.0.
CSCdr13641	Cisco uOne can play a specific message to the calling party to inform the calling party that the called party was busy or did not answer. Cisco CallManager does not currently distinguish between call forward busy and call forward no answer calls when sending information to a voice mail system. The information sent to the voice mail is the same whether a busy or no answer condition exists. Workaround: No workaround exists other than to have the user make a generic greeting. Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 does not support this feature.
CSCtr84167	When you enable the service parameter "Block Offnet to Offnet Transfer" and make a blind transfer with Cisco Unity Connection, the Q.931 SETUP message which CUCM sends to the PSTN gateway for an outbound PRI call still reaches the gateway. This transfer results in a dropped call. Workaround: No workaround exists.

New Service Parameters

Table 7 contains new Cisco CallManager service parameters, with descriptions, that were not included in the Release 3.0 Cisco CallManager Administration Guide or the online help for the Cisco CallManager application.

Caution Do not modify any defaults or settings of the following parameters without the assistance of the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

Table 7 Cisco CallManager Service Parameters Not Included in Release 3.0 Documentation 

ParamName	Description
EnableSNMP	This parameter enables the collection of SNMP data from the Cisco CallManager.
EnableStatistics	This parameter enables or disables collection of performance monitor statistics by the Cisco CallManager.

Table 8 contains new Cisco Messaging Interface (CMI) service parameter definitions that were not included in the Release 3.0 Cisco CallManager Administration Guide or the online help for the Cisco CallManager application.

Caution Do not modify any defaults or settings of the following parameters without the assistance of the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

Table 8 CMI Service Parameters Not Included in Release 3.0 Documentation   

ParamName	Description
BackupCallManagerName	This parameter defines the names of the Cisco CallManagers that are going to be used for the CMI backup. You can use either the name of a Cisco CallManager or its IP address.
BaudRate	Cisco CMI connects to the voice mail system via an ETA/TIA-252 connection. This parameter defines that connection. Recommended default value: 9600 Note Many voice mail systems can be configured to use different baud rates, but the one shown here will frequently be correct.
CallManagerName	This parameter is used to define the names of the Cisco CallManagers that are going to be used for the CMI primary. You can use either the name of a Cisco CallManager or its IP address.
DataBits	CMI connects to the voice mail system via an RS-232 connection. This parameter defines that connection. Recommended default value: 7
DialingPlan	This parameter is one of four that are required by CMI to register an intercept for the voice mail system with which CMI is going to work. Note Small systems without a complex dialing plan usually only need the VoiceMailDn parameter. The remaining parameters, DialingPlan, RouteFilter, and VoiceMailPartition will default to empty strings.
InputDnSignificantDigits	This parameter is designed to accommodate the differences between voice mail mailbox numbers and DNs. If a Legacy voice mail system has mailbox numbers that are longer than the DNs on the system, this parameter can be used to strip the most significant digits. The numeric value of this parameter indicates how many digits should be used. Note No provision exists for stripping digits other than leading ones. Recommended default value: 10
KeepAliveDn	For most voice mail systems, a value of F is acceptable for a string parameter. However, some Octel systems periodically send an invalid DN specifically for the purpose of verifying that the attached Cisco CallManager is functioning properly. In this case, you can turn off ValidateDns if you know the DN that the Octel system will use as a keepalive. By programming that DN into the KeepAliveDn parameter, you will ensure that the invalid DN message is returned to the voice mail system when needed.
OutputDnFormat	Use this parameter to format the DNs sent to the voice mail system. Most numbers passed to the voice mail system are formatted using this parameter. Default value: %010s
OutputExternalFormat	Use this parameter is to format the DNs sent to the voice mail system. Calling party DNs that are seven digits or longer are formatted using this parameter. Default value: %010s
Parity	Cisco CMI connects to the voice mail system via an EIA/TIA-232 connection. This parameter defines that connection. Recommended default value: Even Note The parity settings can be None, Even, Odd, Mark, or Space. Settings are usually Even and None, with Mark and Space rarely being used. Just using the first character of the parity name also works.
RouteFilter	CMI requires this parameter is one of four required to register an intercept for the voice mail system with which CMI is going to work. Note Small systems without a complex dialing plan usually only need the VoiceMailDn parameter. The remaining parameters, DialingPlan, RouteFilter, and VoiceMailPartition will default to empty strings.
SerialPort	Cisco CMI connects to the voice mail system via an EIA/TIA-232 connection. This parameter defines that connection. Recommended default value: COM1 Note The SerialPort name should be the same name that you see in Device Manager under NT.
SsapiKeepAliveInterval	During normal operations, CMI will be attached to a Cisco CallManager. When this is the case, CMI sends a keepalive message to the Cisco CallManager at the rate specified by this numeric parameter. Default value: 30 seconds Caution Do not change this parameter from the default value unless directed by the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
StopBits	Cisco CMI connects to the voice mail system via an EIA/TIA-232 connection. This parameter defines that connection. Recommended default value: 1
ValidateDns	When CMI receives incoming lamp commands from the voice mail system, it normally validates the DN against the NumPlan table. This is an attempt to verify that the DN matches an existing DN known to Cisco CallManager. If the DN is not found in NumPlan, an invalid DN message is sent to the voice mailbox. Default value: T Note On a system with a lot of traffic to and from the voice mail system, you may choose to skip this validation process by setting the ValidateDns parameter default to F.
VoiceMailPartition	CMI requires this parameter is one of four required by to register an intercept for the voice mail system with which CMI is going to work. Note Small systems without a complex dialing plan usually only need the VoiceMailDn parameter. The remaining parameters, DialingPlan, RouteFilter, and VoiceMailPartition will default to empty strings.

Configuring the Microsoft Telnet Daemon for Bridged Telnet

Errors

This section contains any errors contained in the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide for Release 3.0 and/or the online help for the Cisco CallManager application will correct these errors in the upcoming release of the document and online help application.

Incorrect Name of MwiSearchSpace Service Parameter

The name of the Cisco Messaging Interface (CMI) service parameter appears incorrectly in the documentation and online help application. The parameter name should be MwiSearchSpace. The documentation is also missing a description of the value to be entered. The value to enter for MwiSearchSpace is a colon-separated list of partition names. For example, dallas01:dallas02:dallas03, where dallas01, dallas02, and dallas03 are names of partitions.

Incorrect Definition for HoldType and ToneOnHoldTime

The definitions for the Cisco CallManager HoldType and ToneOnHoldTime service parameters are incorrect in the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide and online help for Cisco CallManager Release 3.0. The correct definitions are as follows:

•HoldType — Determines whether the hold light flashes more rapidly for the user who placed a call on hold in the case where two different phones share the same directory number. The default value is still F.

•ToneOnHoldTime — Determines the time interval between tones when a call is on hold. The default is 10 seconds, and the value range is 3 to 99999.
