Whether the device you are using is a home office phone, a dual-mode Cisco Jabber on iPhone or Android client over a WiFi connection, or a mobile phone from another cellular provider, you can still access Unified Communications features and have the call be anchored in the enterprise. For example, you can answer a call that is directed to your enterprise number from any of your configured phones and then transfer the call to your mobile phone, allowing you to continue an in-progress conversation as you are leaving the office. Benefits of Cisco Unified Mobility Most of the mobility features offer call anchoring within the enterprise–even if the call is placed to or from a mobile device, the call is routed through an enterprise gateway. This provides the following benefits: • Single enterprise phone number and voicemail for all business calls, regardless of which device you are using, and whether you are in the office or out of the office. • Ability to extend business calls to a mobile device and have the call still be handled as if it were your office phone. • Calls placed from mobile devices are anchored to the enterprise and routed through an enterprise gateway. This provides access to UC mid-call features, centralized billing and call detail records, and potential cost savings from avoiding expensive cellular networks.

• Ability to roam from one network to another and have the call not be dropped. Wi-Fi to LTE Call Handoff This section is applicable from Release 14SU1 onwards. Important This feature provides flexibility to the soft client end users to switch between Wi-Fi and LTE networks or vice versa without disconnecting any active calls while switching networks. Wi-Fi to LTE Call Handoff feature is automatically enabled but requires Unified Communications Manager release 14SU1 and later. During the call, when the soft client detects the change in the network, switches registration, and reconnects the active call with an audio-visual indication to the end user about the switch. However, the users continue to have seamless audio and video experience on the call. This feature supports only the active call handover. If Call Recording is active, the recording is stopped and does not continue after handover. Also, the network handover does not support the mid-call features (such as hold or transfer), screen share, conference call, and call center features. For more information, see the ‘Prepare Your Environment for Calling in Webex (Unified CM)’ chapter in Deployment Guide for Calling in Webex (Unified CM). Cisco Desktop and the latest Webex Mobile (WebexApp 41.8) versions support this feature. For more information, see the ‘Known Issues and Limitations with Calling in Webex (Unified CM)’ section in Deployment Guide for Calling in Webex (Unified CM). Note Mobility Features Cisco Unified Mobility offers the following mobility-related features: Description Mobility Feature Provides you with a single enterprise phone number and voicemail by which a caller can reach you, regardless of whether you are in the office or outside the office. When someone dials your enterprise number, you can answer the call from your desk phone, or from any of your configured remote destinations (for example, a home office phone, a dual-mode Cisco Jabber on iPhone or Android client, and even a mobile phone from another provider) .

Description Mobility Feature Allows you to transfer an active call from your desk-phone to a mobile device that is configured as a remote destination by pressing the Mobility softkey on your Cisco IP Phone. It is associated with Single Number Reach as a part of the Remote Destination configuration. Similar to the Move to Mobile option is the Desk Pickup option, which fits the example where you are on a mobile call and are just arriving at the office. You can hang up on the call on your mobile device and immediately resume the call by picking up your desk phone before the Maximum Wait Time for Desk Pickup timer expires (the default is 10 seconds). This option is enabled as part of your Single Number Reach configuration. • Ensure that you set the Enforce Privacy Setting on Held Calls Service Parameter to False. • You can also use the Enterprise Feature Access code and the Session Handoff codes to transfer calls between your remote destinations and desk phone. Move to Mobile Allows you to place calls from any remote phone and have the call be anchored in the enterprise and presented to the called party as if you had called from your office phone. When using this feature, you must dial in to a system interactive voice response from your mobile device. After authenticating you, and prompting you for the call destination, the system places the call as if you had called from your enterprise phone. You can also use Mobile Voice Access prompts to enable or disable Single Number Reach for a remote destination. Mobile Voice Access Provides two-stage dialing from a configured remote destination. Also, ensures that the call that is presented to the called party appears as if it originated from your desk phone. Unlike Mobile Voice Access, to use Enterprise Feature Access, you must be dialing from one of your configured remote destinations. Enterprise Feature Access also allows you to access mid-call features while on a call from a remote destination. You can access mid-call features by sending DTMF digits that represent the codes for the various features such as Hold, Exclusive Hold, Transfer. Enterprise Feature Access . Enables automatic call anchoring for enterprise-originated calls that are placed directly to configured remote destination numbers (for example, an enterprise-originated call to a cell phone number that is configured as a remote destination). By configuring a service parameter, you can have the system redirect those calls automatically to the associated enterprise number, providing cost savings and added UC functionality.

Description Mobility Feature Cisco Jabber on iPhone and Android clients can be provisioned as dual-mode devices. Dual-Mode phones have the capability of connecting over Wi-Fi or through cellular networks. When the client is within the enterprise network, Cisco Jabber can register to Unified Communications Manager over Wi-Fi, and has UC calling and instant messaging functionality. If you configure a mobile identity with the phone number of the mobile device, allowing the call to be transferred from Jabber to the cellular device when leaving the enterprise network. Note An added feature that is available to Cisco Jabber mobile clients is Mobile and Remote Access, which allows Cisco Jabber clients to connect to data networks when outside of the enterprise network. For more information, see "Configure Mobile and Remote Access" section in Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Dual-Mode Phones Cisco Unified Mobility Prerequisites Refer to the following prerequisites: • Enabling Mobility features requires proper planning to ensure that your dial plan and call routing configuration can handle the deployment needs. For more information, see "Mobile Collaboration" section in the Cisco Collaboration System Solution Reference Network Designs guide. • For information on which Cisco IP Phones support Mobility feature, see Generate a Phone Feature List, on page 5. • For a list of Cisco IP Phones that support the Mobility softkey, run a report for the Mobility feature. • For a list of supported dual-mode phones, run a report for the Dual-Mode feature. • If you are deploying Mobile Voice Access and you want to make additional locales available to your system (if you want to use non-English phone locales or country-specific tones), you can download the locale installers from cisco.com and install them through the Cisco Unified OS Administration interface. For more information on installing locales, see Installation Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service. • Configure Self-Provisioning so that phone users can provision their own Cisco Jabber clients and remote destinations. For more information, see "Configure Self Provisioning" and "Provisioning End Users" section in the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The Cisco mobility solution is verified with only Cisco equipment. This solution may also work with other third-party PSTN gateways and Session Border Controllers (SBCs), but the features might not work as described here. If you are using this solution with third-party PSTN gateways or SBCs, Cisco technical support may not be able to resolve problems that you encounter.

Step 3 From the Route Partition drop-down list, choose the partition to which the handoff DID number belongs. Step 4 Click Save. Cisco Unified Mobility Call Flow This section describes the incoming and outgoing call flows of Cisco Unified Mobility commonly known as Single Number Reach (SNR). Unified Communications Manager supports the separate calling party number and billing number feature when SNR is configured for users to allow desk phones to extend calls to mobile devices. For example, User-A calls from a PSTN network to User-B whose directory number configured to SNR. If Enable External Presentation Name and Number check box is checked in SIP profile and Display External Presentation Name and Number service parameter value set to True, then Unified Communications Manager displays the FROM header information on both the User-B’s desk phone and the configured remote destination device. In the same way, if any one option is disabled, Unified Communications Manager displays P-Asserted-Identity (PAID) header information on the called device. Similarly, in outgoing call scenario User B (SNRD line) configured with External Presentation Information on Directory Number configuration page initiates a call to a PSTN network through a SIP trunk. If Enable External Presentation Name and Number is configured in its SIP profile, then, Unified Communications Manager send the External Presentation Information in the FROM header of the outgoing SIP message to display on the called device. If Enable External Presentation Name and Number check box is disabled, then Unified Communications Manager sends the directory number information in the FROM and PAID to display on the called device and configured External Presentation Information in the X-Cisco-Presentation header. If you check the Anonymous External Presentation check box, the configured External Presentation Name and External Presentation Number are removed from the respective fields and external presentation displayed as anonymous on the called device. For more details on Configuring External Presentation Information, see Configure Directory Number chapter in the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

client on the mobile. Basic mobile features such as SNR, Deskphone Pickup, Send Call to Mobile, Mobile Voice Access, and Mid-call DTMF features are supported. Extension dialing is supported if it is implemented in the network and the network is integrated with Unified Communications Manager. These features can be provided by any type of trunk. Unified Communications Manager can be configured in the Ring All Shared Lines service parameter so that the shared-line is rung when mobile DN is dialed. The Reroute Remote Destination Calls to Enterprise Number feature must be enabled for Ring All Shared Lines to take effect. Reroute Remote Destination Calls to Enterprise Number is disabled by default. IMS shared lines will ring solely based on the value of the Ring All Shared Lines parameter. Note You can also migrate from the Remote Destination feature used in previous versions to this new device type. Hunt Group Login and Logout for Carrier-Integrated Mobile Devices When configuring the device type Carrier-Integrated Mobile, set the Owner User ID value to the mobile user identity. The mobile user identity does not appear on the configuration. Only users with mobility enabled will appear in the Owner User ID drop-down on the end user page and one line (DN) can be associated with an FMC device. Users should associate a mobile identity with the FMC. This can be done on the FMC device configuration page after the device has been added. For calls to be extended to the number of the mobile identity, users must enable Cisco Unified Mobility on the Mobile Identity window. Carrier-integrated mobile devices can be configured to support hunt group login and logout through Enterprise Feature Access codes. Make sure that you've configured the following: • Enterprise Feature Access must be configured in Call Routing > Mobility > Enterprise Feature Access Number Configuration. • Make sure you assign values for the Enterprise Feature Access Number for Hunt Group Login and Enterprise Feature Access Number for Hunt Group Logout fields in Service Parameters. After you configure these, the user can log in or log out of Hunt groups from Carrier-Integrated Mobile devices by dialing the configured Enterprise Feature Access Number. If the user dials the given Hunt login access code number, the Carrier-Integrated Mobile device allows them to be part of the Hunt group list. If the Hunt logout access code is dialed, then the user is moved out of the Hunt group list and calls do not reach them. Users on Carrier-Integrated Mobile devices can invoke midcall features via Enterprise Feature Access codes. For details on how to configure and use Enterprise Feature Access, see Configure Enterprise Feature Access section.

Cisco Unified Mobility Interactions Table 3: Cisco Unified Mobility Interactions Interaction Feature Cisco Unified Mobility interacts with auto call pickup depending on how you configured the service parameter. When the Auto Call Pickup Enabled service parameter is set to True, users must press only the PickUp softkey to pick up a call. If the service parameter is set to False, users must press the PickUp, GPickUp, or OPickUp softkey and then the Answer softkey. Auto Call Pickup Cisco Unified Mobility supports automatic alternate routing (AAR) as follows: • If a rejection occurs because of a lack of bandwidth for the location-based service, the rejection triggers AAR and reroutes the call through the PSTN so the caller does not need to hang up and redial. • If a rejection occurs because of resource reservation protocol (RSVP), however, AAR is not triggered for calls to remote destinations and the call stops. Automatic Alternate Routing Users who need the capabilities of both Cisco Unified Mobility and Extend and Connect can configure the same remote destination on the remote device profile and CTI remote device types when the owner ID of both device types is the same. This configuration allows Cisco Unified Mobility features to be used concurrently with Extend and Connect. For more information, see the “Extend and Connect” chapter. Extend and Connect If external call control is configured, Unified Communications Manager follows the route decision from the adjunct route server for these Cisco Unified Mobility features: • Cisco Unified Mobility • Mobile voice access • Enterprise feature access • Dial via office Unified Communications Manager does not send a routing query for the following Cisco Unified Mobility features: • Cell pickup • Desk pickup • Session handoff External Call Control Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 37 Remote Worker Features Cisco Unified Mobility Interactions

Interaction Feature For direct calls to remote destinations that are anchored to the enterprise number, mobile users can use the session handoff feature to hand off the call to their deskphones. You must enable Cisco Unified Mobility before you implement intelligent session control. Intelligent Session Control and Session Handoff Cisco Unified Mobility is included in all user-based licenses from basic to professional. Licensing For single number reach calls to a remote destination, the device pool of the originating calling party determines the selection of the standard local route group. Note Local Route Group is not supported when the AgentGreeting with BiB (Built in Bridge) is invoked. Local Route Groups Each remote destination supports a maximum of six active calls. However, the number of supported calls depends on the Unified Communications Manager configuration. For example, the Cisco Unified Mobility user receives a call while the user already has six calls for the remote destination or while the user is using DTMF to transfer or conference a call from the remote destination. The received call is sent to the enterprise voice mail when: • The number of calls with user exceeds Busy trigger configuration • CFB is configured • All shared lines are busy Note The calls sent to the enterprise voice mail is not based on the maximum supported calls. Number of Supported Calls Cisco Unified Mobility supports the Cisco Unified Mobility feature without midcall features over SIP trunks with Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE).

Description Restriction Call Forward Unregistered (CFUR) support for Cisco Jabber on iPhone and Android is as follows: • CFUR is supported if Cisco Jabber on iPhone or Android does not have either a mobile identity or remote destination configured. • CFUR is not supported, and will not work, if a Remote Destination is configured • CFUR is not supported, and will not work, if a Mobile Identity is configured with a mobile phone number and Single Number Reach is enabled. If you have a mobile identity or remote destination configured, use Call Forward Busy and Call Forward No Answer instead. Call Forwarding Unregistered Unified Communications Manager does not support call queuing with Cisco Unified Mobility. Call Queuing Users cannot initiate a meet-me conference as conference controller by using mobile voice access, but they can join a meet-me conference. If an existing conference call is initiated from a shared-line IP phone or dual-mode phone or smartphone that is a remote destination, no new conference party can be added to the existing conference after the call is sent to a mobile phone or a dual-mode handoff action occurs. To permit the addition of new conference parties, use the Advanced Ad Hoc Conference Enabled service parameter. Conferencing Users can dial a + sign through dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) on a mobile phone to specify the international escape character. Cisco Unified Mobility does not support + dialing through DTMF for IVR to make an outgoing call from a mobile phone to an enterprise IP phone for which the directory number contains the + character. Cisco Unified Mobility does not support + dialing through DTMF for two-stage dialing to make an outgoing call from a mobile phone to an enterprise IP phone for which the directory number contains the + character. Dialing + Character from Mobile Phones If do not disturb (DND) is enabled on a desk phone, the desk phone cannot be placed in the remote In use state and the call is not anchored in the following scenarios: • DND is enabled with the call reject option. • DND is activated by pressing the DND softkey on the desk phone. If DND is enabled with the ring off option, however, the call is anchored.

Description Restriction Dual-Mode Handoff and Caller ID The handoff DN method of dual-mode handoff requires a caller ID in the cellular network. The mobility softkey method does not require caller ID. Dual-Mode Phones and CTI Applications While a dual-mode phone is in Wi-Fi enterprise mode, no CTI applications control it nor monitor it. The In Use Remote indicator for dual-mode phones on a shared line call in the WLAN disappears if the dual-mode phone goes out of WLAN range. Dual-Mode Phones and SIP Registration Period For dual-mode phones, Unified Communications Manager determines the registration period by using the value in the Timer Register Expires (seconds) field of the SIP profile that associates with the phone, not the value that the SIP Station KeepAlive Interval service parameter specifies. The standard SIP profile for mobile devices determines the registration period as defined by the Time Register Expires field in that profile. Dual-Mode Phones Enterprise features from cellular networks require out-of-band DTMF. When using intercluster DNs as remote destinations for an IP phone over a SIP trunk (either intercluster trunk or gateway), check the Require DTMF Reception check box when configuring the IP phone. This allows DTMF digits to be received out of band, which is crucial for enterprise feature access midcall features. Enterprise Features From Cellular Networks Both H.323 and SIP VoIP gateways are supported for mobile voice access. Cisco Unified Mobility features are not supported for T1 CAS, FXO, FXS and BRI. SNR(Single Number Reach) is not supported with MGCP(Media Gateway Controlled Protocol). Gateways and Ports When initially configured, Jabber devices count as registered devices. These devices increase the count of registered devices in a node, set by the Maximum Number of Registered Devices service parameter. Jabber Devices Cisco Unified Mobility supports a maximum of nine locales. If more than nine locales are installed, they appear in the Available Locales pane, but you can only save up to nine locales in the Selected Locales pane. If you attempt to configure more than nine locales for Cisco Unified Mobility, the following message appears: “Update failed.

Description Restriction If a user presses the *81 DTMF code from a remote destination (either a smartphone or any other phone) to put a call on hold, the user desk phone displays the Resume softkey. However, the desk phone does not apply a timer for Desktop Call Pickup. The Resume key continues to be displayed even after the timeout that is configured for the end user to pick up the call elapses and the call is not dropped. Instead, users should hang up the call on the remote phone, which triggers the desk phone to apply the timer for desktop call pickup. (Use the Maximum Wait Time for Desk Pickup field on the End User Configuration window to change this setting.) Maximum Wait Timer for Desktop Call Pickup Cisco Unified Mobility does not work with multilevel precedence and preemption (MLPP). If a call is preempted with MLPP, Cisco Unified Mobility features are disabled for that call. Multilevel Precedence and Preemption Overlap sending patterns are not supported for the Intelligent Session Control feature. Overlap Sending Mobility does not support Q signaling (QSIG). Q Signaling QSIG path replacement is not supported. QSIG Path Replacement Enterprise feature access service parameters apply to standard phones and smartphones; however, smartphones generally use one-touch keys to send the appropriate codes. You must configure any smartphones that will be used with Cisco Unified Mobility to use either the default codes for enterprise feature access or the codes that are specified in the smartphone documentation. Service Parameters The following limitations apply to the session handoff feature: • Session handoff can take place only from mobile phone to desk phone. For session handoff from desk phone to mobile phone, the current remote destination pickup method specifies that you must use send call to mobile phone. • Only audio call session handoff is supported. Session Handoff If you have a hunt group configured and one or more of the directory numbers that the hunt group points toward also has Single Number Reach (SNR) enabled, the call does not extend to the SNR remote destinations unless all devices in the hunt group are logged in. For each device within the hunt group, the Logged Into Hunt Group check box must be checked within the Phone Configuration window for that device. Single Number Reach with Hunt Groups The Cisco Unified Mobility feature is supported only for primary rate interface (PRI) public switched telephone network (PSTN) connections.

Description Restriction The Intelligent session control feature does not support direct URI dialing. Therefore, calls that are made to a SIP URI cannot be anchored to an enterprise number. SIP URI and Direct Calls to Remote Destination In a cluster environment, the publisher must be reachable in order to enable or disable Single Number Reach. Some features may not function if the publisher is not actively running. Mobile voice access is not available when the publisher node is not reachable; IVR prompts for Mobile Voice Access are stored only on the publisher. Unified Communications Manager publisher dependent features Cisco Unified Mobility services do not extend to video calls. A video call that is received at the desk phone cannot be picked up on the mobile phone. Video Calls Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers do not support Voice XML (VXML). Hence, when these routers function as Unified Communications gateways with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, they do not support Mobile Voice Access (MVA) application. Mobile Voice Access (MVA) Related Topics Ad Hoc Conferencing Service Parameters, on page 224 Cisco Unified Mobility Troubleshooting Cannot Resume Call on Desktop Phone Problem When a remote destination (mobile phone) is not a smartphone and a call to this mobile phone is anchored through Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the user can hang up the mobile phone and expect to see a Resume softkey on the user desktop phone to resume the call. The user cannot resume this call on the user desktop phone. Possible Cause If the calling party receives a busy, reorder, or disconnect tone when the mobile phone hangs up, the mobile phone provider probably did not disconnect the media. No disconnect signals came from the provider. To verify this possibility, let the calling party wait for 45 seconds. After this wait, the service provider will time out and send disconnect signals, at which time Cisco Unified Communications Manager can provide a Resume softkey to resume the call. • Add the following command to the gateway: voice call disc-pi-off • For the Cisco CallManager service, set the Retain Media on Disconnect with PI for Active Call service parameter to False.

When this feature is configured, Cisco Unified Communications Manager matches the IP address of a roaming device to IP subnets in the Device Mobility configuration to determine the physical location of the device so that an appropriate device pool can be assigned. The settings from this dynamically-assigned device pool override the settings in the Phone Configuration for that device and ensure that voice quality and allocation of resources are appropriate for the new phone location. For roaming mobile devices, this feature provides a more efficient use of network resources: • When a mobile user moves to another location, call admission control (CAC) can ensure video and audio quality with the appropriate bandwidth allocations for that location. • When a mobile user makes a PSTN call, the phone is routed to the local gateway. Otherwise, PSTN calls would first be routed back to the home site over IP WAN connections, and then on to a PSTN gateway at the home site. • When a mobile user calls the home location, Cisco Unified Communications Manager can assign the appropriate codec for the region. Site-Specific Settings For roaming devices, Cisco Unified Communications Manager overwrites the following device pool parameters from the device configuration with values from the dynamically assigned device pool: • Date/Time Group • Region • Location • Network Locale Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 43

• SRST Reference • Connection Monitor Duration • Physical Location • Device Mobility Group • Media Resource Group List When networks span geographic locations outside the United States, you can configure device mobility groups to allow phone users to use their configured dial plan no matter where they roam. When a device is roaming but remains in the same device mobility group, Cisco Unified Communications Manager also overwrites the following device pool parameters: • AAR Group • AAR Calling Search Space • Device Calling Search Space When the phone returns to its home location, the system disassociates the roaming device pool, downloads the configuration settings for home location, and resets the device. The device registers with the home location configuration settings. Cisco Unified Communications Manager always uses the Communications Manager Group setting from the phone record. The device always registers to its home location Cisco Unified Communications Manager server even when roaming. When a phone is roaming, only network location settings such as bandwidth allocation, media resource allocation, region configuration, and AAR group get changed. Note Configuration This feature needs to be enabled at both the system-level, and at the device level. At the system level, this feature uses the following components: • Physical Location—The physical location of the device pool. During registration, the system matches the device registration location to a subnet in the Device Mobility Info in order to assign an appropriate device pool. • Device Pool—Location-specific device settings such as media resources, regions, and SRST references. For roaming devices, the system assigns the device pool that matches that device’s physical location. • Device Mobility Group—A logical group of sites with similar dialing patterns. For example, an enterprise with a worldwide network might set up groups that represent individual countries. The device mobility group setting determines whether the device is moved within the same geographical entity, primarily to allow users to keep their own dial plans. • Device Mobility Info—This info contains the subnets that the system provides for roaming devices, and the device pools that the system can assign to roaming devices that register to one of those subnets. At the device level, the feature must be turned on for devices to use this feature.

Figure 1: Device Mobility-Related Configurations Device Pool Assignment This section describes how Unified Communications Manager assigns device pools when device mobility is enabled. Depending on whether the device is roaming, the device may be assigned a device pool in the local site, or it may use the device pool from its home site. Following initialization, the device mobility feature operates according to the following process: 1. A phone device record gets created for an IP phone that is provisioned to be mobile, and the phone gets assigned to a device pool. The phone registers with Unified Communications Manager, and an IP address gets assigned as part of the registration process. 2. Unified Communications Manager compares the IP address of the device to the subnets that are configured for device mobility in the Device Mobility Info Configuration window. The best match uses the largest number of bits in the IP subnet mask (longest match rule). For example, the IP address 9.9.8.2 matches the subnet 9.9.8.0/24 rather than the subnet 9.9.0.0/16. 3. If the device pool in the phone record matches the device pool in the matching subnet, the system considers the phone to be in its home location, and the phone retains the parameters of its home device pool. 4. If the device pool in the phone record does not match the device pools in the matching subnet, the system considers the phone to be roaming. The following table describes possible scenarios for device mobility and the system responses.

Table 5: Device Mobility Scenarios System Response Scenario The system does not consider the phone to be roaming, and the system uses the settings in the home location device pool. The physical location setting in the phone device pool matches the physical location setting in a device pool that is associated with the matching subnet. Note Although the phone may have moved from one subnet to another, the physical location and associated services have not changed. The system considers the phone to be roaming. It reregisters with the parameters of the device pool for the matching subnet. The matching subnet has a single device pool that is assigned to it; the subnet device pool differs from the home location device pool, and the physical locations differ. The system considers the phone to be roaming. The new device pool gets assigned according to a round-robin rule. Each time that a roaming device comes in to be registered for the subnet, the next device pool in the set of available device pools gets assigned. The physical locations differ, and the matching subnet has multiple device pools assigned to it. The physical location has not changed, so the phone remains registered in the home device pool. Physical location gets defined for the home device pool but is not defined for the device pools that are associated with the matching subnet. The system considers the phone to be roaming to the defined physical location, and it registers with the parameters of the device pool for the matching subnet. Physical location that is not defined for the home device pool gets defined for the device pools that are associated with the matching subnet. The rules for roaming and assigning device pools get applied by using the remaining subnets. A subnet gets updated or removed. If no device mobility information entries match the device IP address, the device uses the home location device pool settings. Note Device Mobility Groups Operations Summary You can use device mobility groups to determine when a device moves to another location within a geographic entity, so a user can use its own dial plan. For example, you can configure a device mobility group for the United States and another group for the United Kingdom. If a phone moves into a different mobility group (such as from the United States to the United Kingdom), Unified Communications Manager uses the Calling Search Space, AAR Group and AAR CSS from the phone record, and not from the roaming location.

If the device moves to another location with same mobility group (for example, Richardson, USA, to Boulder, USA), the CSS information gets taken from the roaming device pool settings. With this approach, if the user is dialing PSTN destinations, the user reaches the local gateway. The following table describes the device pool parameters that the system uses for various scenarios. Table 6: Device Mobility Group Scenarios Parameters Used Scenario Roaming Device Pool: yes Location: Roaming device pool setting Region: Roaming device pool setting Media Resources Group List: Roaming device pool setting Device CSS: Roaming device pool setting (Device Mobility CSS) AAR Group: Roaming device pool setting AAR CSS: Roaming device pool setting A roaming device moves to another location in the same device mobility group. Roaming Device Pool: yes Location: Roaming device pool setting Region: Roaming device pool setting Media Resources Group List: Roaming device pool setting Device CSS: Home location settings AAR Group: Home location settings AAR CSS: Home location settings A roaming device moves to another location in a different device mobility group. Because the device is roaming, it takes the roaming device pool settings, including the Device Mobility Calling Search Space, AAR Calling Search Space, and AAR Group. A device roams, and a device mobility group does not get defined for the home or roaming device pool. Device Mobility Prerequisites • The phone must have a dynamic IP address to use device mobility. If a phone with a static IP address roams, Unified Communications Manager uses the configuration settings from its home location. • The Device Mobility feature requires you to set up device pools with site-specific settings. This chapter describes only the device pool settings that relate to device mobility. For more detailed information on configuring device pools, see the "Configure Device Pools" chapter in the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. • Cisco Database Layer Monitor service must be running on the same node as the Cisco CallManager service. • Cisco TFTP service must be running on at least one node in the cluster.

Device Mobility Interactions Table 7: Device Mobility Interactions Interaction Feature Calling party normalization enhances the dialing capabilities of some phones and improves call-back functionality when a call is routed to multiple geographical locations; that is, the feature ensures that the called party can return a call without the need to modify the directory number in the call log directories on the phone. Additionally, calling party normalization allows you to globalize and localize phone numbers, so the appropriate calling number presentation is displayed on the phone. Calling Party Normalization When a device is roaming in the same device mobility group, Unified Communications Manager uses the device mobility CSS to reach the local gateway. If a user sets call forward all (CFA) at the phone, the CFA CSS is set to None, and the CFA CSS activation policy is set to With Activating Device/Line CSS, then the following behaviors will occur, depending on the device location: • The Device CSS and Line CSS are used as the CFA CSS when the device is in its home location. • If the device is roaming within the same device mobility group, the device mobility CSS from the roaming device pool and the line CSS are used as the CFA CSS. • If the device is roaming within a different device mobility group, the Device CSS and Line CSS are used as the CFA CSS.

Device Mobility Restrictions Table 8: Device Mobility Restrictions Description Restriction The device mobility feature depends on the IPv4 address or IPv6 address of the device that registers with Unified Communications Manager. • The phone must have a dynamic IPv4 address or IPv6 address to use the device mobility. • If the device is assigned an IP address by using network address translation (NAT) or port address translation (PAT), the IP address that is provided during registration may not match the actual IP address of the device. • If the Cisco IP phone supports IPv4-Only Stack or IPv6-Only Stack, then the phone gets re-associated either with IPv4 or IPv6 Device Mobility Information, based on the IP addressing mode preference defined. For example, when a phone is defined with IPv6 preference but has no matching Device Mobility Information (IPv6 subnet and mask size), then it is associated with IPv4. When you add matching IPv6 Device Mobility Information, then the phone gets re-associated with IPv6 Device Mobility Information.

CTI Remote Device (CTIRD) Call Flows Unified Communications Manager supports the separate calling party number and billing number feature when users are added as CTI Remote Device. Each CTI Remote Device is configured with the user directory number (DN) (for example, 2000) and a remote destination that represents any off-cluster device (for example, a PBX phone with the number +1 408 111 1111). When a call is initiated from the PSTN network to a CTIRD line, Unified Communications Manager looks for FROM and PAID header information. The FROM header contains the external presentation name and number and PAID contains the identity of the user (that is a user’s DN or DDI). If FROM and PAID headers have different numbers and Enable External Presentation Name and Number check box is checked in its SIP profile and Display External Presentation Name and Number service parameter value set to True, then Unified Communications Manager displays the FROM header information on the called device. In the same way, if any one option is disabled,Unified Communications Manager displays PAID header information on the called device. Similarly, in the outgoing call scenario a user calls from Remote Destination (CTIRD line) configured with External Presentation Name and External Presentation Number on Directory Number configuration page to a PSTN network through a SIP trunk with Enable External Presentation Name and Number configured in its SIP profile. Then, Unified Communications Manager send the External Presentation Information configured on the Directory Number Configuration page in the FROM header of the outgoing SIP message to display on the called device. If Enable External Presentation Name and Number check box is unchecked, then Unified Communications Manager sends the directory number information in the FROM and PAID to display on the called device and configured External Presentation Information in the X-Cisco-Presentation header. If you check the Anonymous External Presentation check box, the configured External Presentation Name and Number are removed from the respective fields and external presentation displayed as anonymous on the called device. For more details on Configuring External Presentation Information, see the Configure Directory Number chapter in the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Extend and Connect Interactions Table 9: Extend and Connect Interactions Interaction Feature Configure a Directory URI as the DN, remote destination, or both for the CTI remote device. Directory URI Dialing Extend and Support does not support moving active calls between a Cisco Unified IP Phone and a remote destination. If you want the capabilities of both Unified Mobility and Extend and Connect, you can configure the same remote destination on the Remote Device Profile and CTI Remote Device types when the Owner ID of both device types is the same. This configuration allows Cisco Mobility features to be used concurrently with Extend and Connect. The ability to configure the same remote destination on both device types is supported using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 10.0(1) or later. Do not configure remote destinations that are used with the Cisco Extend and Connect feature on Cisco Dual-mode for iPhone, Cisco Dual-mode for Android, and Carrier-integrated Mobile device types. Do not use prefixes to differentiate the same remote destination address. For example, 91-4085555555 and +1-4085555555 are treated as the same number. Unified Mobility The Extend and Connect feature allows users to receive hunt calls on remote destination phones under the following conditions: • The user has a Cisco Unified IP Phone. • The Cisco Unified IP Phone is available to answer hunt calls (logged-in/HLog). • Cisco Jabber is running in Extend and Connect mode. Hunt List • The incoming caller ID information (name and number) is displayed on the Jabber client. • This information may also be displayed on the device, depending on your carrier and trunk configuration. • Outbound Dial Via Office calls to the remote destination display Voice Connect as the name and the trunk DID as the number. • Configure the trunk DID in the Unified CM Trunk Pattern, Route Pattern, or Cisco Gateway. This configuration may also be assigned by the carrier. The number field may display as blank if the trunk DID is not configured. • Outbound calls to the desired party display the CTI Remote Device Display Name and Directory Number (DN) as configured in Unified Communications Manager. • Remote destination numbers are never displayed to the called party.

C H A P T E R 7 Remote Worker Emergency Calling • Remote Worker Emergency Calling Overview, on page 65 • Remote Worker Emergency Calling Prerequisites, on page 65 • Remote Worker Emergency Calling Configuration Task Flow, on page 66 Remote Worker Emergency Calling Overview The Remote Worker Emergency Calling feature enables customers to provide reliable emergency calling support to remote workers by using remote Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections. Emergency calls from off-premises users are routed to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), and user-provided location information is delivered with each call. To use this feature, remote workers must confirm or update their location whenever their device registration is interrupted. A customizable disclaimer notice is first displayed on the devices that are designated for off-premises (connected remotely to the customer network), which advises the users to provide correct location information. After the location information is provided, the off-premises location that is currently associated with the designated device is displayed. Users can confirm their current location or select another previously stored location from their device display; if their location is new, they are directed to the Cisco Emergency Responder Off-Premises User web page to create a new location. Before completing this process, the administrator may restrict the device to calling a single configured destination. This action ensures that the device user has acknowledged the disclaimer and provided current location information before the device is enabled for normal use. Remote Worker Emergency Calling Prerequisites You must configure Intrado (a third party application) on the Cisco Emergency Responder before you configure the Remote Worker Emergency Calling feature. For information about configuring Intrado on the Cisco Emergency Responder, see Cisco Emergency Responder Administration Guide Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 65

Mobile and Remote Access Prerequisites Cisco Unified Communications Manager Requirements The following requirements apply: • If you are deploying multiple Unified Communications Manager clusters, set up an ILS network. • Mobile and Remote Access requires that you set up NTP servers for your deployment. Make sure that you have NTP servers deployed for your network and Phone NTP References for SIPendpoints. • If you are deploying ICE for media path optimization, you will need to deploy a server that can provide TURN and STUN services. DNS Requirements For the internal connection to Cisco Expressway, configure the following locally resolvable DNS SRV that points to Unified Communications Manager: _cisco-uds._tcp<domain> You must create internal DNS records, for both forward and reverse lookups, for all Unified Communications nodes used with Mobile and Remote Access. This allows Expressway-C to find the nodes when IP addresses or hostnames are used instead of FQDNs. Make sure that the SRV record is not resolvable outside of the local network. Cisco Expressway Requirements This feature requires you to integrate Unified Communications Manager with Cisco Expressway. For Cisco Expressway configuration details for Mobile and Remote Access, refer to the Mobile and Remote Access Through Cisco Expressway Deployment Guide. The minimum Expressway release for Mobile and Remote Access Access Policy support with Cisco Jabber is X8.10. Certificate Prerequisites You must exchange certificates between Unified Communications Manager, the IM and Presence Service, and Cisco Expressway-C. Cisco recommends that you use CA-signed certificates with the same CA for each system. In this case: • Install the CA root certificate chain on each system (for Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service Service install the certificate chain to the tomcat-trust store). • For Unified Communications Manager, issue a CSR to request CA-signed tomcat (for AXL and UDS traffic) and Cisco CallManager (for SIP) certificates. • For the IM and Presence Service Service, issue a CSR to request CA-signed tomcat certificates. If you use different CAs, you must install each CA's root certificate chain on Unified Communications Manager, IM and Presence Service Service, and Expressway-C. Note Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 71 Remote Worker Features Mobile and Remote Access Prerequisites

Page 114#

chunk 70

You can also use self-signed certificates for both Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service Service. In this case, you must upload onto Expressway-C the tomcat and Cisco CallManager certificates for Unified Communications Manager and a tomcat certificate for the IM and Presence Service Service. Note Mobile and Remote Access Configuration Task Flow Complete these tasks in Unified Communications Manager if you want to deploy Mobile and Remote Access endpoints. Procedure Purpose Command or Action Make sure that the Cisco AXL Web Service is activated on the publisher node. Activate Cisco AXL Web Service, on page 73 Step 1 Optional.

Configure Cisco Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access For details on how to configure Cisco Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access, refer to the Mobile and Remote Access Through Cisco Expressway Deployment Guide. MRA Failover with Lightweight Keepalives This section is applicable from Release 14 onwards. Important The MRA High-Availability for endpoint registration allows Cisco Webex and Cisco Jabber to detect any failure of network elements like Cisco Expressway-E, Cisco Expressway-C, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration in the Registration path and take corrective action to reregister to the Unified CM through the next available path. The endpoints send a lightweight STUN keepalive message to check connectivity in the registration path. When the Unified Communications Manager receives the lightweight STUN keepalive message, it validates the Cisco Expressway-C IP and responds to the message. The Unified CM discards the STUN keepalive message if it is received from any other IP. If a node in the registration path fails, endpoints will learn the failure through the lightweight STUN keepalive response that they receive and selects a different route path for future messages. This service helps the user to have smooth and continuous incoming and outgoing calls irrespective of outages or other maintenance modes. When Cisco Webex or Cisco Jabber registers to the Unified Communications Manager as a MRA device, the system displays the Expressway-C’s IP in the Unified CM (Device > Phone > IPv4 Address column). The Cisco IP Phones do not support registration failover. Note For more information, see Mobile and Remote Access Through Cisco Expressway Deployment Guide.

Changing the configuration of a user that affects licensing (For example: the Enable/Disable IM and Presence and the Enable/Disable Mobility check boxes) is not allowed. For information about smart licensing operations, see the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager User Only Licensing If a user is configured on the system and is not associated with a device, that user does not own any devices and is a "User Only." A user is associated with a device or owns the device if that user's user ID is entered in the OwnerUserID field of the device. The licensing for a "User Only" is shown in the User and Device Support table, for the user not associated with any devices. Simply adding a user to the system does not consume a license if that user does not own any devices or does not use a licensed user feature. If, however, the user is configured with a licensed user feature, or that user does own a device, then the user does consume a license. The only licensed feature currently is Mobile Connect (also known as Mobility or Single Number Reach or SNR). Mobile Connect (or Mobility or Single Number Reach) for a user is configured when a Remote Destination Profile (RDP) has been created with the end-user set as the Device owner (User ID field).

Device Only If a device is added to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and does not have an entry for OwnerUserID field in its Device Configuration window, then the device is not assigned or not associated to a user and called "Device Only". The licensing for "Device Only" devices is listed in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Licensing - User and Device Support table. If a device is added to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and does not have an entry for OwnerUserID, then the device would require the minimum license type determined by device type, as shown in the Licensing - User and Device Support table. User and Device Once a device is assigned or associated with a user, by entering a user ID in the OwnerUserID field of the device, the licensing requirements for that user and device are determined by the type of device and the number of devices assigned to the user. For a user that owns one device, if the user ID of that user is added as OwnerUserID to one Essential device (such as a 3905, 6901, or analog device), then the User and Device minimum license that is required is an Essential license. This means that the one Essential license supports both the user and the device. If instead, that user ID of that user is added as OwnerUserID to one Basic device (such as 6911 or 6921), then the user and device minimum license that is required is one Basic icense. If the user ID of a user is added as OwnerUserID to one Enhanced device, the user and device minimum license that is required is an Enhanced license. For users that own more than one device, the minimum licensing is determined by the number of devices that are owned by the user. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Licensing table shows the maximum number of devices per user license that is supported. A user that owns two devices requires an Enhanced Plus license at a minimum. A user that owns more than two devices requires a CUWL license at a minimum. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Licensing - User and Device Support table summarizes Cisco Unified Communications Manager Licensing for User Only, Device Only, and User and Device.

User Only User and Device Device Only License Type System • Generic Single Screen Room System Device Only means a device configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager that does not have a user association, where the OwnerUserID field is blank. User and Device means a device configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager that has a user associated, the OwnerUserID field has a registered userid. User Only means a user configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager that does not have any devices associated with the user - whose user id is not found as OwnerUserID for any Cisco Unified Communications Manager devices. Bold text in the above table indicates that a device is supported through license substitution where an available license of the license type listed may be used to meet lower-level license requirements. This is done in Cisco Smart Software Manager. MGCP FXS ports do not require any license because they are not considered analog phones. Note Maximum Number of Devices Per User The Essential, Basic, and Enhanced licenses support users with one associated device, where the user's id is entered in the OwnerUserId field of one device. The Enhanced Plus license supports users with two associated devices. UWL supports users with three and up to ten associated devices. TelePresence Room License Multi-purpose and immersive TelePresence devices are licensed under a separate device license type that is called the TelePresence Room license. The TelePresence Room license covers both the TelePresence device and phone that is registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, only if the same userid is entered as the OwnerUserID field for the TelePresence device and the phone. If the same userid is not entered as OwnerUserID for both the TelePresense device and the phone, then the devices are not associated and two licenses are required: one TelePresence Room license for the device and one Enhanced for the phone. The TelePresence touch device does not register to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and therefore does not require a separate license or the OwnerUserID association. License Substitution The Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) allows for tiered license substitution of available licenses to enable compliance. The available higher-level licenses are substituted or loaned to meet lower level license requirements. For example, if a customer has 100 UC Manager CUWL licenses installed, however Cisco Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 113 Licensing Maximum Number of Devices Per User

Page 156#

chunk 110

Unified Communications Manager is reporting back license requirements for 10 CUWL licenses and 50 UC Manager Enhanced Plus licenses, CSSM will calculate that there are 100-10 or 90 UC Manager CUWL license available to be loaned to lower tiers. Of the 90 UC Manager CUWL available licenses 50 CUWL would then be used to meet the requirements for the 50 Enhanced Plus licenses. CSSM will show 40 UC Manager CUWL licenses as available. When Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem (Cisco SSM On-Prem) or Smart Software Manager satellite is used in Unified Communications Manager for licensing, there is a difference in the way the license Hierarchy Substitution breakdown is displayed in CSSM, when compared to Cisco SSM On-Prem. See the Cisco SSM On-Prem user interface for details on the insufficient license information if the license authorization status of Unified CM is Out of Compliance. Refer CSCwf47221 for more details. Note If the Virtual account is already used by Product Instance using direct communication and license reserved for Specific License Reservation, the available license quantities are shown incorrectly. Refer CSCwf47223 for more details. Note Licensing Scenarios The following licensing scenarios will walk through the configuration changes on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration that result in licensing requirements. Adding Users When a new user (UserA) is first added to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration through the End User configuration or through the Bulk Administration tool, if the user does not have remote device profiles under Enable Mobility, then the new user does not require a license. If a new user (UserB) is first added to Cisco Unified Communications Manager with remote destination profiles configured under Enable Mobility, then the new user, UserB, requires a Basic license. Note License Required Licensed User Feature UserID With no assigned devices None None UserA With no assigned devices Basic Mobility UserB Adding Unassociated Devices If a new device is registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and there is no user id entered in the OwnerUserID field for the device, then the device is unassociated to a user, and requires the license per device type for unassociated devices, as indicated in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Licensing - User and Device Support table. For example, Device6901 is added and it requires an Essential license. Device6921 is added and it requires a Basic license. DeviceEX60 is added and it requires an Enhanced device. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 114 Licensing Licensing Scenarios

Page 157#

chunk 111

There are currently no devices that require an Enhanced Plus, CUWL Standard, or CUWL Professional license. So you will not see a requirement in Cisco Unified Communications Manager for an unassociated device that requires an Enhanced Plus or above license. Table 16: Example Device Only License Requirements Note License Required Device With no OwnerUserID UC Manager Essential Device6901 With no OwnerUserID UC Manager Basic Device6921 With no OwnerUserID UC Manager Enhanced DeviceEX60 Adding Users with Associated Devices When a device is added, if the device is associated with a user, then the user and device share a license. For one device per user, the license that is required is the greater of the user license or device license required. The following scenarios review the different combinations of device and user associations for one device per user. Essential Device Associated to User If Device6901 (an Essential device) is assigned to UserA, by entering OwnerUserID = UserA, then both the device and user are supported by one Essential license. If however, Device6901 (an Essential device) is assigned to UserB (a Basic user), by entering OwnerUserID = UserB then both device and user are supported by one Basic License. Basic Device Associated to User If Device6921 (a Basic device) is assigned to UserA by entering OwnerUserID = UserA, then both the device and user are supported by one Basic license. Similarly, if Device6921 (a Basic device) is assigned to UserB (a Basic user) by entering OwnerUserID = UserB, then both the device and user are supported by one Basic license. Enhanced Device Associated to User Most physical phones, soft clients, and desktop video devices such as the EX60 and EX90 are included in the Enhanced device level. If Device EX60 (an Enhanced device) is assigned to UserA by entering OwnerUserID = UserA, then both the device and user is supported by one Enhanced license. Similarly, if DeviceEX60 (an Enhanced device) is assigned to UserB (a Basic user) by entering OwnerUserID = UserB, then both the device and user are supported by one Enhanced license.

When a user is associated with more than one device, then higher level licenses are required independent of device type. If UserA is assigned to OwnerUserID for one device then the scenarios above apply. If, however, UserA is assigned OwnerUserID for two devices, then one Enhanced Plus license is required for both the user and the two associated devices. If UserA is assigned OwnerUserID for more than two devices, then one UWL Standard license is required. UserA can be assigned up to ten devices with one UWL Standard license. If more than ten devices are assigned to one user, then the user requires one UWL Standard license and also requires an additional license for the additional device. License Usage Report Usage details are available by license type, users, and unassigned devices. Usage information is updated once every six hours and maybe updated manually by clicking on Update Usage Details. Clicking Update Usage Details is a resource-intensive process and may take a few minutes depending on the size of your system. There is a link provided to review the Unified Communications licensing information in View all license type descriptions and device classifications. The Status message displays if there is an alarm or licensing alert (license non-compliance). See Alarms alerts and license status notifications for further information on status messages. See License Compliance for further information on license compliance and non-compliance. The License Requirements by Type table shows the current system license requirements. It shows current license usage (number of licenses required) by license type and summarizes the number of users and unassigned devices that are requiring licenses by license type. The Report links by license type are provided by (number of) Users or (number of) Unassigned devices and allow drill-down links. For the User report, the user id link provides details on user configuration per the user id. The view details link provides license requirements per user id. For the Unassigned Devices report, the Device Type and License Type that is required is displayed for each unassigned device. License Usage Reports are also available summarized by Users and Unassigned devices. The Users row lists the total number of users configured on the system. View Usage Report for the users provides a report for all users configured on the system and their corresponding license requirements. View Usage Report for the Unassigned Devices shows the total number of unassigned devices (devices with no associated user).

Assigning a user ID to a device using Cisco Unified Communications Administration moves the device from "Unassigned Devices" to "Users" in the License Usage Report. However, adding a device to the list of controlled devices for an end-user does not modify the "License Usage Report" results for the device.

The most common scenario is in a call center where a call agent is speaking with a customer. Call centers need to be able to guarantee the quality of customer service that an agent in a call center provides. With silent monitoring, the supervisor can hear both call participants, but neither of the call participants can hear the supervisor. Silent monitoring can only be invoked by a CTI application through the JTAPI or TAPI interfaces. Many Cisco applications, such as Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise and Cisco Unified Contact Center Express have the ability to use silent monitoring. Any CTI application that monitors calls must have the corresponding monitoring privileges that are enabled for the application-user or end-user account. Silent monitoring is call based. When a supervisor invokes a silent monitoring session, the following occurs: • The supervisor selects a specific call to be monitored. • The start-monitoring request from the application triggers the supervisor phone to go off hook and automatically triggers a monitoring call to the agent. • The agent phone automatically answers the monitoring call. The monitoring call does not get presented to the agent. Secure Silent Monitoring You can also configure secure silent monitoring. Secure silent monitoring allows encrypted media (sRTP) calls to be monitored. Monitoring calls are always established using the highest level of security that is determined by the capabilities of the agent phone regardless of the security status of the call being observed. The highest level of security is maintained by exchanging the secure media key in any call between the customer, agent, and supervisor. Monitoring calls using secured media carries approximately 4000 bits per second of additional bandwidth overhead, same as standard secure media (sRTP) calls. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 121

chunk 117

If the agent phone has encryption that is enabled, the supervisor phone must also have encryption enabled in order to allow secure silent monitoring. If the agent phone has encryption that is enabled, but the supervisor phone does not, the monitoring request fails. Whisper Coaching Unified Communications Manager also supports whisper coaching, a CTI enhancement on silent monitoring whereby a supervisor can speak to the agent while the monitoring session is underway without the customer hearing. Whisper coaching can only be initiated by a CTI application. If silent monitoring is already configured, then no additional configuration of Unified Communications Manager is required for whisper coaching. Silent Monitoring Prerequisites Silent monitoring can only be invoked by an external CTI application. Cisco applications such as Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise or Cisco Unified Contact Center Express can initiate silent monitoring sessions. For details, see the following: • Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise—For details on how to set up silent monitoring in Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise, see Cisco Remote Silent Monitoring Installation and Administration Guide. • Cisco Unified Contact Center Express—This chapter contains a sample configuration to set up Silent Monitoring for Unified Contact Center Express via Cisco Finesse. For additional documentation that is related to your Cisco Unified Contact Center Express deployment, go to https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/ support/customer-collaboration/unified-contact-center-express/tsd-products-support-series-home.html.

Procedure Step 1 Configure a test agent and supervisor on Unified Contact Center Express. Note The IP Contact Center (IPCC) Extension for the Agents and Supervisors must be unique. This can be verified from Cisco Unified Communications Manager under Call Routing > Route Plan Report. Step 2 Ensure that the agent phone has the Built in Bridge (BIB) On. This can be done on the phone or at the Cluster level (Set the Default Service Parameter to On). Step 3 Log in to Finesse as an Agent. Step 4 Log in to Finesse as a Supervisor and ensure that the supervisor is in NOT READY State. Step 5 Ensure that the Resource Manager Contact Manager (RMCM) user has the required roles for Call Monitoring and Call Recording -- Standard Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) Allow Call Monitoring and Recording. Note This is automatically done by Unified Contact Center Express at the initial setup of the RMCM user. Ensure the roles exist on the Application User window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Step 6 Assign the Monitoring CSS (Calling Search Space) on the Supervisor Phone to contain the Partition of the agent line. Step 7 Place a call to Unified Contact Center Express so that the call is routed to the agent logged in. Once the agent is in the TALKING state, from the supervisor, start the Silent Monitoring. The supervisor will then be able to hear the conversation between the agent and the caller Silent Monitoring Interactions Interaction Feature If the agent call that is being monitored goes to call preservation, Unified Communications Manager also puts the monitoring call into call preservation mode. Call preservation Unified Communications Manager supports transferring a secure monitoring session so long as the destination supervisor device exceeds the security capabilities of the agent that is being monitored. Transfer of secure monitoring call Recording Tones take precedence over Monitoring Tones for calls that are both recorded and monitored. If a call is recorded and monitored, only the recording tone plays. Recording Tones Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 127 Monitoring and Recording Silent Monitoring Interactions

Page 170#

chunk 123

Interaction Feature If Secure Tones are configured and the call is secured, the secure tone plays to both call participants at the outset of the call irrespective of whether Monitoring Tones are configured. If Secure Tones and Monitoring Tones are both configured, the secure tone plays once, followed by the monitoring tones. If Secure Tones, Monitoring Tones, and Recording Tones are all configured, and the call is recorded and monitored, the secure tone plays once followed by the recording tone. The monitoring tone does not play. Secure Tones Silent Monitoring Restrictions Restriction Feature Unified Communications Manager does not support barge with silent monitoring. If an agent call is being monitored, the barge-in call from a shared line fails. If the agent call has already been barged, the monitoring call fails. Barge Unified Communications Manager does not support transferring Secure Silent Monitoring calls over an intercluster trunk. Transfer of Secure Silent Monitoring over an intercluster trunk The monitoring fails if the supervisor logs in through the non-secure mode and the Agent logs in to the MRA mode.

Call recording is one of the essential features in call centers, financial institutions and other enterprises. The call recording feature sends copies of the agent and the end-user media streams to the recording server over a SIP trunk. Each media stream is sent separately in an effort to best support a wide range of voice analytic applications. Unified Communications Manager offers IP phone-based or network-based recording. • In IP phone based recording, recording media is sourced from the phone. The phone forks two media streams to the recording server. • In network-based recording, recording media can be sourced from either the phone or the gateway. When you implement network-based recording, the gateway in your network must connect to Unified Communications Manager over a SIP trunk. Unified Communications Manager supports call recording in both single cluster and multi-cluster environments and offers three different recording modes: • Automatic Silent Recording—Automatic silent recording records all calls on a line appearance automatically. Unified Communications Manager invokes the recording session automatically with no visual indication on the phone that an active recording session is established. • Selective Silent Recording—A supervisor can start or stop the recording session via CTI-enabled desktop. Alternatively, a recording server can invoke the session based on predefined business rules and events. There is no visual indication on the phone that an active recording session is established. • Selective User Call Recording—An agent can choose which calls to record. The agent invokes the recording session through CTI-enabled desktop, or by a softkey or programmable line key. When selective user call recording is used, the Cisco IP phone displays recording session status messages.

Unified Communications Manager supports recording to a single recording server and can be deployed with CUBE as media proxy to record to more than one recording server. • In multi-fork recording, Unified Communications Manager is connected to CUBE Media Proxy server through SIP trunk. The CUBE Media Proxy server receives two media streams from phone or gateway and it forks the media streams to one or more recording servers simultaneously. • In recording to single recording servers, Unified Communications Manager is directly connected to recording server through SIP trunk. The phone or the gateway forks two media streams to the recording server. Multi-Fork Recording Unified Communications Manager supports simultaneous, multiple stream recordings through Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) as Media Proxy. In Multi-fork recording, the recording stream is sent to a CUBE Media Proxy server, which relays the media stream to up to five recording servers simultaneously. This is supported for both phone-based and network-based recording, and for both automatic and selective recording. The multi-forking feature provides the following benefits: • Adds redundancy and failover to your recording deployment. • Provides additional media streams for speech analysis and monitoring. • Helps organization, such as financial industry, to be compliant to MiFID requirements, that mandate recording of customer calls to multiple recording servers for redundancy. When you implement multi-fork recording, you must configure the CUBE Media Proxy server in your network which connects to Unified Communications Manager over a SIP trunk. For more information on CUBE Media Proxy, see Cisco Unified Border Element Configuration Guide. Connection from Unified Communications Manager to CUBE Media Proxy server over a SIP trunk must be configured with Early Offer. Note The following example illustrates the phone-based recording of multi-fork recording through CUBE Media Proxy.

The following example illustrates the network-based recording of multi-fork recording through CUBE Media Proxy. Figure 5: Network-based recording For more information on method summary, see "Cisco Device-Specific Extensions" section of Cisco Unified JTAPI Developers Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 12.5(1). Supported Platforms Multi-fork recording through CUBE Media Proxy server is supported on the following Cisco Router Platforms running on Cisco IOS XE Gibraltar Release 16.10.1: • Cisco 4000 Series-Integrated Services Routers (ISR G3 - ISR4331, ISR4351, ISR4431, ISR4451). • Cisco Aggregated Services Routers (ASR - ASR1001-X, ASR1002-X, ASR1004 with RP2, ASR1006 with RP2). • Cisco Cloud Services Routers (CSR1000V series). Restrictions for Multi-fork recording through CUBE Media Proxy Multi-fork recording through CUBE Media Proxy server does not support the following: • Video recording. • Secure media (SRTP) forking of non secure calls. • SRTP fall back. • Midcall block. Recording Media Source Selection When you configure network-based recording, you must configure either the phone or the gateway as your preferred source of recording media for the agent phone line. However, depending on your deployment, Unified Communications Manager may not select your preferred choice as the recording media source. The following table displays the logic Unified Communications Manager uses to select the recording media source.

chunk 139

Interactions and Restrictions Feature If you configure Secure Tones, the secure tone plays to both call participants at the outset of a secure call, irrespective of whether Recording Tones are configured. If you configure both Secure Tones and Recording Tones and the call is secure, the secure tone plays once at the outset of the call followed by the recording tone. If you configure Secure Tones, Recording Tones, and Monitoring Tones, and the call is secured, recorded, and monitored, the secure tone plays once followed by the recording tone. The monitoring tone does not play. Secure Tones Agent - customer calls that are routed through the Customer Voice Portal may be recorded using the agent phone as the recording source. Customer Voice Portal If you are using the gateway as your recording source, you cannot place SIP proxy servers between Unified Communications Manager and the gateway. SIP Proxy Servers Each recording session adds two calls to the Busy Hour Call Completion (BHCC) rate with a minimal impact on CTI resources. Busy Hour Call Completion Rate When you configure Selective Recording, the Media Sense server does not record the consult call during a transfer. For example, if a call between an agent and a customer is being recorded and the agent initiates a transfer to a second agent, the consult call that takes place between the two agents, before the call being transferred, is not recorded. To ensure that the consult call is recorded, the agent must press the ‘Record’ softkey when the consult call starts. Selective Recording with Media Sense To record a call for authenticated phones on the Cisco Unified CM Service Parameter page, set the Authenticated Phone Recording field to Allow Recording. The default value is Do Not Allow Recording. Unified Communications Manager allows call recording for authenticated phones while using a non secure recorder. In case of secure recorder, recording is allowed only if the recorder supports a Secure Real-Time Transport protocol (SRTP) fallback. Recording on authenticated phones When recording is enabled, the endpoint advertises a single codec and payload, and a select and join conference takes place in the Unified Communications Manager. Codec locking for auto recording calls in select and join conference Recording Calls Do Not Survive Agent Hold Recording calls get torn down when the agent puts the call on hold, and they get reestablished when the agent resumes the call.

Agent Greeting is audible for the agent and the customer. The process of recording a greeting is similar to recording a message for voicemail. Depending on how your contact center is set up, you can record different greetings that play for different types of callers (for example, an English greeting for English speakers or an Italian greeting for Italian speakers). By default, agent greeting is enabled when you log in to your agent desktop but you can turn it off and on as necessary. Agent Greeting Prerequisites • Install Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise. See Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Installation and Upgrade Guide. • Install Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal. See Installation and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal . • Ensure that you enable Built In Bridge. To view the details, see Configure Built In Bridge, on page 149.

Before you begin • Review Agent Greeting Prerequisites, on page 147 Procedure Purpose Command or Action Agent Greeting uses the Unified CVP media server to store and serve prompt and greeting files. Configure a media server for Agent Greeting. Step 1 • Configure a server to act as a media server. • Add the media server in Unified CVP. • Configure the media server to write files. The .tcl script files that ship with Unified CVP Release 9.0(1) include updates to support Republish .tcl scripts to Voice Extensible Markup Language (VXML) Gateway. Step 2 Agent Greeting. You must republish these updated files to your VXML Gateway. Republishing scripts to the VXML Gateways is a standard task in Unified CVP upgrades. If you did not upgrade Unified CVP and republish the scripts, you must republish the scripts before you can use Agent Greeting. To ensure adequate performance, set the size of the cache on the VXML Gateway to the Set the cache size on the VXML Gateway. Step 3 maximum allowed. The maximum size is 100 megabytes; the default is 15 kilobytes. Failure to set the VXML Gateway cache to its maximum can result in slowed performance to increased traffic to the media server. Create audio files for each of the voice prompts that agents hear as they record a greeting. Create voice prompts to record greetings. Step 4 Complete to record and play agent greetings. Configure call types. Step 5 Complete to record and play agent greetings. Configure a dialed number. Step 6 Schedule the script. Step 7 For Agent Greeting record and play scripts to interact with Unified CVP, Network VRU scripts are required. Define network VRU scripts. Step 8 (Optional) Import sample Agent Greeting scripts.

You can customize the prompts that are played for the caller. Auto-Attendant works with Unified Communications Manager to receive calls on specific telephone extensions. The software interacts with the caller and allows the caller to search for and select the extension of the party (in your organization) that the caller is trying to reach. Auto-Attendant provides the following functions: • Answers a call • Plays a user-configurable welcome prompt • Plays a main menu prompt that asks the caller to perform one of three actions: • Press 0 for the operator • Press 1 to enter an extension number • Press 2 to spell by name If the caller chooses to spell by name (by pressing 2), the system compares the letters that are entered with the names that are configured to the available extensions. One of the following results can occur: • If a match exists, the system announces a transfer to the matched user and waits for up to 2 seconds for the caller to press any Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) key to stop the transfer. If the caller does not stop the transfer, the system performs an explicit confirmation: it prompts the user for confirmation of the name and transfers the call to the primary extension of that user. • If more than one match occurs, the system prompts the caller to choose the correct extension. • If too many matches occur, the system prompts the caller to enter more characters.

• If no match occurs, that is, if the user presses wrong options, the system prompts that the user pressed the wrong options and prompts the user to press the correct options. • When the caller specifies the destination, the system transfers the call. • If the line is busy or not in service, the system informs the caller accordingly and replays the main menu prompt. Auto-Attendant solution can be deployed in three different ways as follows using different Cisco products that can provide interactive voice response functionality. • Auto-Attendant using Cisco Unity Connection (CUC); the most widely used Auto-Attendant solution configuration by customers • Auto-Attendant using Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (Unified CCX) • Auto-Attendant using Cisco Unity Express (CUE) Cisco Unity Connection Configuration The Cisco Unity Connection server provides Automated-Attendant functionality for both external and internal callers. An Auto-Attendant allows callers to be automatically transferred to an extension without the intervention of an operator or receptionist. Auto-Attendants offer a menu system; it may also allow a caller to reach a live operator by dialing a number, usually “0”. Multiple Auto-Attendants may be implemented to support individual site locations. Within Cisco Unity Connection, an Auto-Attendant is a customized application tree structure that is built by creating and linking multiple Call Handlers together. The Auto-Attendant is defined by entry and exit points, and intermediate routing decisions based on the callers DTMF input choices. For more information about Auto-Attendant default behavior and examples, see System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection. Cisco Unity Connection Configuration Task Flow You can use this task flow to configure auto-attendant using Cisco Unity Connection: Procedure Purpose Command or Action Perform this task on the Cisco Unified CM Administration.

C H A P T E R 16 Manager Assistant • Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Overview, on page 159 • Manager Assistant Prerequisites, on page 161 • Manager Assistant Task Flow for Proxy Lines, on page 162 • Manager Assistant Task Flow for Shared Lines, on page 170 • Manager Assistant Interactions, on page 188 • Manager Assistant Restrictions, on page 190 • Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Troubleshooting , on page 191 Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Overview The Unified Communications Manager Assistant feature is a plug-in that an assistant can use to handle calls on behalf of a manager, intercept manager calls, and route them appropriately. Manager Assistant supports up to 3500 managers and 3500 assistants. To accommodate this number of users, you can configure up to three Manager Assistant applications in one Unified Communications Manager cluster and assign managers and assistants to each instance of the application. Manager Assistant supports shared line support and proxy line support. Manager Assistant Architecture The Manager Assistant architecture comprises the following: • Cisco IP Manager Assistant service—After you install Unified Communications Manager, activate this service from the Cisco Unified Serviceability interface. • Assistant Console interface—Allows assistants to access the Manager Assistant features on their computer to handle calls for managers. The Manager Assistant handles calls for an assistant and for as many as 33 managers. • Cisco Unified IP Phone interface: Managers and assistants use softkeys and the Cisco Unified IP Phone Services button to access the Manager Assistant features. For more information, see chapter Manager Assistant, in Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 159

chunk 155

Manager Assistant Database Access Architecture The database stores all Manager Assistant configuration information. When the manager or assistant logs in, the Cisco IP Manager Assistant service retrieves all data that is related to the manager or assistant from the database and stores it in memory. The database includes two interfaces: • Manager interface—The manager phone makes available the manager features except Manager Configuration. Manager Assistant automatically logs in a manager in to the Cisco IP Manager Assistant service when the Cisco IP Manager Assistant service starts. Managers also have access to Unified Communications Manager features such as Do Not Disturb and Immediate Divert. Note • Assistant interface—The assistant accesses the Manager Assistant features by using the Assistant Console application and the Cisco Unified IP Phone. The Assistant Console, an application, provides call-control functions such as answer, divert, transfer, and hold. The assistant uses the Assistant Console to log in and log out, to set up assistant preferences, and to display the Manager Configuration window that is used to configure manager preferences. For more information, see chapter Manager Assistant, in Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Softkeys Manager Assistant supports the following softkeys: • Redirect • Transfer to VoiceMail • Do Not Disturb Manager Assistant supports the following softkey templates: • Standard Manager—Supports manager for proxy mode • Standard Shared Mode Manager—Supports manager for shared mode • Standard Assistant—Supports assistant in proxy or shared mode • Standard User—The system makes call-processing (such as Hold and Dial) softkeys available with the Standard User template. Manager Assistant Shared Line Overview When you configure Manager Assistant in shared line mode, the manager and assistant share a directory number, for example, 8001. The assistant handles calls for a manager on the shared directory number. When a manager receives a call on 8001, both the manager phone and the assistant phone ring. The Manager Assistant features that do not apply to shared line mode include Default Assistant Selection, Assistant Watch, Call Filtering, and Divert All Calls. An assistant cannot see or access these features on the Assistant Console application.

chunk 156

Manager Assistant Proxy Line Overview When you configure Manager Assistant in proxy line mode, the assistant handles calls for a manager using a proxy number. The proxy number is not the directory number for the manager, but is an alternate number chosen by the system that an assistant uses to handle manager calls. In proxy line mode, a manager and an assistant have access to all features that are available in Manager Assistant, which include Default Assistant Selection, Assistant Watch, Call Filtering, and Divert All Calls.

Make sure that this server remains independent of the servers in your Unified Communications Manager cluster. Do not specify a Unified Communications Manager server or any server that is associated with Unified Communications Manager (such as a TFTP server or directory database publisher server). For the services to be available, the phones in the Unified Communications Manager cluster must have network connectivity to the server. For Cisco-signed Java MIDlets, enter the location where the JAD file can be downloaded; for example, a web server or the back-end application server to which the Java MIDlet communicates. For Cisco-provided default services, the service URL is displayed as Application:Cisco/<name of service> by default; for example, Application:Cisco/CorporateDirectory. If you modify the service URL for Cisco-provided default services, verify that you configured both for the Service Provisioning setting, which displays in the Phone, Enterprise Parameter, and Common Phone Profile Configuration windows. For example, you use a custom corporate directory, so you change Application:Cisco/CorporateDirectory to the external service URL for your custom directory; in this case, change the Service Provisioning value to Both. Service URL Enter the secure URL of the server where the Cisco Unified IP Phone services application is located. Make sure that this server remains independent of the servers in your Unified Communications Manager cluster. Do not specify a Unified Communications Manager server or any server that is associated with Unified Communications Manager (such as a TFTP server or publisher database server). For the services to be available, the phones in the Unified Communications Manager cluster must have network connectivity to the server. Note If you do not provide a Secure-Service URL, the device uses the nonsecure URL. If you provide both a secure URL and a nonsecure URL, the device chooses the appropriate URL, based on its capabilities. Secure-Service URL Choose a service application type (XML or Java MIDlet). If you choose Java MIDlet, when the phone receives the updated configuration file, the phone retrieves the Cisco-signed MIDlet application (JAD and JAR) from the specified Service URL and installs the application. Service Category Choose whether the service is provisioned to the Services, Directories, or Messages button or option on the phone; that is, if the phone has these buttons or options.

Description Field Allows you to specify the vendor or manufacturer for the service. This field is optional for XML applications, but it is required for Cisco-signed Java MIDlets. For Cisco-signed Java MIDlets, the value that you enter in this field must exactly match the vendor that is defined in the MIDlet JAD file. This field displays as blank for Cisco-provided default services. You can enter up to 64 characters. Service Vendor Enter the version number for the application. For XML applications, this field is optional and is informational only. For Cisco-signed Java MIDlets, consider the following information: • If you enter a version, the service version must exactly match the version that is defined in the JAD file. If you enter a version, the phone attempts to upgrade or downgrade the MIDlet if the version is different than what is installed on the phone. • If the field is blank, the version gets retrieved from the Service URL. Leaving the field blank ensures that the phone attempts to download the JAD file every time that the phone reregisters to Unified Communications Manager as well as every time that the Cisco-signed Java MIDlet is launched; this ensures that the phone always runs the latest version of the Cisco-signed Java MIDlet without you having to manually update the Service Version field. This field displays as blank for Cisco-provided default services. You can enter numbers and periods in this field (up to 16 ASCII characters). Service Version Allows you to enable or disable the service without removing the configuration from Cisco Unified CM Administration (and without removing the service from the database).

Interaction Feature Manager Assistant provides statistical information in the CDR Analysis and Reporting (CAR) tool and provides a summary of changes to configurations in a change log. The administrator can view a summary of changes that are made to the Manager or Assistant Configurations in Unified CM AssistantChangeLog*.txt. A manager can change defaults by accessing the Manager Configuration from a URL. An assistant can change the manager defaults from the Assistant Console. For information about the URL and Manager Configuration, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant User Guide. When the manager or assistant makes changes, the changes are sent to a log file called ipma_changeLogxxx.log. The log file resides on the server that runs the Cisco IP Manager Assistant service. Use the following command to obtain the log file: file get activelog tomcat/logs/ipma/log4j/ For more information about downloading the log file, see the Cisco Unified Real -Time Monitoring Tool Administration Guide. Reporting tools Manager Assistant supports call-completion statistics and inventory reporting for managers and assistants. The CAR tool supports call-completion statistics. Cisco Unified Serviceability supports inventory reporting. For more information, see the following guides: • Cisco Unified Serviceability Administration Guide • Call Reporting and Billing Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager CDR Analysis and Reporting The following points describe the interactions between Manager Assistant with shared line support and MLPP: • The system preserves call precedence in the handling of calls by Manager Assistant. For example, when an assistant diverts a call, the system preserves the precedence of the call. • Filtering of precedence calls occurs in the same manner as all other calls. The precedence of a call will not affect whether a call is filtered. • Because Manager Assistant does not have information about the precedence of a call, it does not provide any additional indication of the precedence of a call on the Assistant Console.

Interaction Feature Manager Assistant supports the following two types of intercom: • Manager Assistant intercom (used with Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940 and 7960). You can configure this intercom feature using the DN configuration and end user (manager and assistant) configuration windows. • Unified Communications Manager intercom (used with Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940 and 7960). You can configure this intercom feature using the intercom partition, intercom calling search space, intercom directory number, intercom translation pattern, DN, and end user (manager and assistant) configuration windows. Intercom The Message Waiting Indicator feature interacts with proxy line support only. The Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) on and off numbers should have the partition of the manager line in their calling search space. The partition can exist in any order of priority within each calling search space. Message Waiting Indicator The Time-of-Day feature interacts with proxy line support only. Time-of-Day routing routes calls to different locations based on the time that the call gets made; for example, during business hours, calls get routed to a manager office, and after hours, the calls go directly to voicemail service. For more information about Time-of-Day Routing, see the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Time-of-Day Routing Manager Assistant Restrictions Restriction Feature To install the Assistant Console application on a computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (or later), install the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (JVM) before the Assistant Console installation.

Restriction Feature Manager Assistant supports SIP on Cisco Unified IP Phones 7900 Series, except for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940 and 7960. Manager Assistant supports up to 3500 managers and 3500 assistants by configuring multiple Cisco IP Manager Assistant servers (pools). When you enable multiple pools, the manager and all configured assistants for that manager should belong to the same pool. Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960 and 7940 support only the Unified Communications Manager Assistant Intercom lines feature. Cisco Unified IP Phones 7900 (except 7940 and 7960) support only the Unified Communications Manager Intercom feature. One manager can have up to ten assigned assistants and one assistant can support up to 33 managers (if each manager has one Unified Communications Manager–controlled line). Only one assistant at a time can assist a manager. Manager Assistant supports up to 3500 managers and 3500 assistants per Unified Communications Manager cluster. Cisco IP Phones After an upgrade, Manager Assistant users that use the incoming intercom line do not get upgraded automatically to the Unified Communications Manager Intercom feature. The system does not support calls between the Unified Communications Manager Intercom feature and regular lines (which may be configured as Manager Assistant Intercom lines). Intercom Manager Assistant is not supported in the Single Sign-On environment. Single Sign-On Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940, 7942, and 7945 support only two lines or speed-dial buttons.

When Immediate Divert diverts a call, the line becomes available to make or receive new calls. Access the Immediate Divert feature by using the iDivert or Divert softkey on the IP phone. Immediate Divert provides the following functions: • Diverts a call to a voicemail system in the following manner: • Legacy iDivert diverts the call to the voice mailbox of the party that invokes the iDivert feature. • Enhanced iDivert diverts the call to either the voice mailbox of the party that invokes the iDivert feature or to the voice mailbox of the original called party. • Diverts inbound calls that are in the Call Offering, Call on Hold, or Call Active states. • Diverts outbound calls in the Call Active or Call on Hold states. Although the Immediate Divert feature is not available to CTI applications, a CTI redirect operation exists that performs the same function as Immediate Divert. Application developers can use the CTI redirect operation to accomplish Immediate Divert. Note Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 207

Immediate Divert Interactions Interaction Feature Immediate Divert diverts calls to voice-messaging mailboxes regardless of the type of call (for example, a precedence call). When Alternate Party Diversion (call precedence) is activated, Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) gets deactivated. Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) When the Forward No Answer setting on the Directory Number Configuration window is not configured, Call Forward uses the clusterwide CFNA timer service parameter, Forward No Answer Timer. If a user presses the iDivert softkey at the same time as the call is being forwarded, the call gets diverted to an assigned call forward directory number (because the timer was too short), not the voice-messaging mailbox. To resolve this situation, set the CFNA timer service parameter to enough time (for example, 60 seconds). Call Forward Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 213 Voice Messaging Features Associate a Softkey Template with a Phone

Interaction Feature Immediate Divert uses the immediate divert code number in the Onbehalf of fields (for example, joinOnbehalfOf and lastRedirectRediectOnBehalfOf) in CDR. Call Detail Records (CDR) When user A calls user B, and user B parks the call; user B retrieves the call and then decides to send the call to a voice-messaging mailbox by pressing the iDivert or Divert softkey. User A receives the voice-messaging mailbox greeting of user B. Call Park and Directed Call Park When a conference participant presses the iDivert softkey, the remaining conference participants receive the voice-messaging mailbox greeting of the immediate divert initiator. Conference types include Ad Hoc, Meet-Me, Barge, cBarge, and Join. Conference For calls that reach the phone directly through a hunt list pilot (as part of the hunting algorithms), the iDivert softkey appears dimmed if the Use Legacy Immediate Divert clusterwide service parameter is set to True; otherwise, it does not appear dimmed. For calls that do not reach the phone directly through a hunt list pilot (as part of the hunting algorithms), the iDivert softkey does not appear dimmed when the Use Legacy Immediate Divert clusterwide service parameter is set to True or False. Note For Jabber in desk phone mode, iDivert feature redirection to VM is done through CTI application where ‘Use Legacy Immediate Divert’ parameter will not take effect and HP number will be sent as diversion info to Voice mail servers. Hunt List If the Use Legacy Immediate Divert clusterwide service parameter is set to False, and the Auto Call Pickup Enabled clusterwide service parameter is set to True, and a user of call pickup group uses call pickup to answer a call, the IP phone display will not present any choices to the user when the iDivert softkey is pressed. Auto Call Pickup Immediate Divert Restrictions Description Restriction When you use QSIG integration with your voicemail system, a voicemail profile that includes either a voicemail pilot or a voicemail mask or both should leave the Make this the default Voice Mail Profile for the System check box unchecked. Ensure the default Voice Mail Profile setting is always set to No Voice Mail. Voice Mail Profile When Call Forward All (CFA) and Call Forward Busy (CFB) are activated, the system does not support Immediate Divert (CFA and CFB have precedence over Immediate Divert).

Description Restriction The iDivert detects a busy condition on the voicemail ports, when iDivert reaches a voicemail system over a local or SCCP connection. Note Immediate Divert cannot divert a call to a busy voicemail port; voicemail ports can exist as members of a route or hunt list. The call cannot divert to a busy voicemail system, but the original call gets maintained. The phone displays “Busy” message on which iDivert was invoked to indicate that the call was not diverted. When a voicemail system is reached over a QSIG or SIP trunk, iDivert can be detected, but the call does not get maintained. When the Allow QSIG During iDivert clusterwide service parameter is set to True, or the Use Legacy Immediate Divert clusterwide service parameter is set to False, Immediate Divert supports access to voicemail systems that can be reached over QSIG or SIP trunks. When the Allow QSIG During iDivert clusterwide service parameter is set to False, and the Use Legacy Immediate Divert clusterwide service parameter is set to True, Immediate Divert does not support access to voicemail systems over QSIG or SIP trunks. Busy Voicemail System System does not support using Malicious Caller ID and Immediate Divert features together. Malicious Caller ID A race condition in connection with the Forward No Answer Timeout exists when you press the iDivert softkey. For example, if a manager presses the iDivert softkey immediately after the Forward No Answer timeout, call forward forwards the call to a preconfigured directory number. However, if the manager presses the iDivert softkey before the Forward No Answer timeout, immediate divert diverts the call to the voice-messaging mailbox of the manager. Forward No Answer Timeout The calling parties and called parties can divert the call to their voice mailboxes if both simultaneously press the iDivert softkey. Calling Parties and Called Parties When one participant in a conference presses the iDivert softkey, all remaining participants receive an outgoing greeting of the participant who pressed iDivert. Conference types include Meet-Me, Ad Hoc, cBarge, and Join. Conference Types If the last action on a call was Auto Pickup, Call Transfer, Call Park, Call Park Reversion, Conference, Meet-Me Conference, or any application that performs a split or join operation, enhanced iDivert does not present a screen to a called party to choose the voice mailbox. Instead, enhanced iDivert immediately diverts the call to the voice mailbox that is associated with the called party.

Ad Hoc conferences comprise two types: basic and advanced. In basic ad hoc conferencing, the originator of the conference acts as the controller of the conference and is the only participant who can add or remove other participants. In advanced Ad Hoc conferencing, any participant can add or remove other participants. Advanced Ad Hoc conferencing also allows you to link multiple ad hoc conferences together. Advanced Ad Hoc conferencing allows you to link multiple Ad Hoc conferences together by adding an Ad Hoc conference to another Ad Hoc conference as if it were an individual participant. If you attempt to link multiple conferences together when the Advanced Ad Hoc Conference Enabled service parameter is set to False, the IP phone displays a message. You can also use the methods that are available for adding individual participants to an Ad Hoc conference to add another conference to an Ad Hoc conference.

Table 23: Ad Hoc Conference Service Parameters Description Service Parameters Drop Ad Hoc Conference, prevents toll fraud (where an internal conference controller disconnects from the conference while outside callers remain connected). The service parameter settings specify conditions under which an ad hoc conference gets dropped. • Never—The conference does not get dropped. (We recommend that you use the default option to avoid unintentional termination of a conference). • When No OnNet Parties Remain in the Conference—The system drops the active conference when the last on-network party in the conference hangs up or drops out of the conference. Unified Communications Manager releases all resources that are assigned to the conference. Note Drop Ad Hoc Conference feature in an ILS deployment will not drop the parties when it set at When No OnNet Parties Remain in the Conference because the route patterns learned are classified as On Net. • When Conference Controller Leaves—The active conference terminates when the primary controller (conference creator) hangs up. Unified Communications Manager releases all resources that are assigned to the conference. Note We recommend that you set this service parameter to Never. Any other setting can result in unintentional termination of a conference. The Drop Ad Hoc Conference service parameter works differently for conference calls that are initiated from a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940 or 7960 that is running SIP, or a third-party phone that is running SIP . Drop Ad Hoc Conference This parameter specifies the maximum number of participants that are allowed in a single Ad Hoc conference. Default Value: 4 Maximum Ad Hoc Conference This parameter determines whether advanced Ad Hoc conference features are enabled. This includes the ability of non-controller participants to add and remove other participants and the ability of all participants to link ad hoc conferences together. Advanced Ad Hoc Conference Enabled This parameter determines whether more than two Ad Hoc conferences can be linked directly to an Ad Hoc conference in a non-linear fashion ( three or more conferences linked to any one conference). Non-linear Ad Hoc Conference Linking Enabled Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 225 Conferencing Features Ad Hoc Conferencing Service Parameters

Description Service Parameters This parameter determines whether Unified Communications Manager chooses an encrypted audio conference bridge or an unencrypted video conference bridge for an Ad-Hoc conference call when the conference controller's Device Security Mode is set to either Authenticated or Encrypted and at least two conference participants are video-capable. Because encrypted video conference bridges are not supported in this release, Unified Communications Manager must choose between an encrypted audio conference bridge and an unencrypted video conference bridge. The default value is True. Choose Encrypted Audio Conference Instead Of Video Conference This parameter specifies the number of video-capable conference participants that must be present in an Ad Hoc conference to allocate a video conference bridge. If the number of video-capable participants is less than the number specified in this parameter, Unified Communications Manager allocates an audio conference bridge. If the number of video-capable participants is equal to, or greater than, the number specified in this parameter, Unified Communications Manager allocates a video conference bridge, when available, from the configured media resource group list (MRGL). Specifying a value of zero means that video conference bridges will always be allocated, even when none of the participants on the conference are video-capable. When a conference has been established using an audio bridge and then additional video-capable participants join the conference, the conference will remain on the audio bridge and will not convert to video. The default value is 2. Minimum Video Capable Participants To Allocate Video Conference This parameter determines whether Unified Communications Manager chooses a video conference bridge, when available, for an Ad Hoc audio-only conference call when the video conference bridge has a higher priority than an audio conference bridge in the media resource group list (MRGL). If an audio conference bridge has higher priority than any video conference bridge in the MRGL, Unified Communications Manager ignores this parameter. This parameter proves useful in situations where the local conference bridge is a video bridge (and configured in the MRGL with the highest priority) and audio conference bridges are only available in remote locations; in that situation, enabling this parameter means thatUnified Communications Manager would attempt to use the local video conference bridge first, even for audio-only conference calls. The default value is False. Allocate Video Conference Bridge For Audio Only Conferences When The Video Conference Bridge Has Higher Priority This parameter determines whether the Click-to-Conference functionality over the SIP trunk is enabled on Unified Communications Manager. The Click-to-Conference feature allows third-party applications to setup a conference using the SIP out of dialog REFER method and subscribe to the SIP trunk for Conference Event Package through SIP SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY. Warning Enabling this parameter could negatively affect CTI applications that are not coded to support this feature.

Description Service Parameters This parameter defines a number, up to 8 digits (e.g. 0001), that is prefixed to a conference identifier generated for Adhoc and Meet-Me conferences that will be hosted on a SIP conference bridge such as Cisco Telepresence MCU or Cisco Telepresence Conductor. This field should be populated by the administrator when there are multiple clusters in a network that will be sharing the SIP conference bridges that Unified Communications Manager manages. Every cluster should be configured with a unique prefix to ensure that the conference identifier for Adhoc and Meet-Me conferences is unique. If conference resources are not being shared across clusters, then this field may not be populated.

Conference Interactions Interaction Feature Initiate a conference by pressing the cBarge softkey, or if the Single Button cBarge feature is enabled, by pressing the shared-line button of the active call. When cBarge is initiated, a barge call gets set up by using the shared conference bridge, if available. The original call gets split and then joined at the conference bridge. The call information for all parties gets changed to Conference. The barged call becomes a conference call with the barge target device as the conference controller. It can add more parties to the conference or can drop any party. When any party releases from the call, leaving only two parties in the conference, the remaining two parties experience a brief interruption and then get reconnected as a point-to-point call, which releases the shared conference resource. Conference by Using cBarge If the conference controller transfers, parks, or redirects the conference to another party, the party that retrieves the call acts as the virtual controller for the conference. A virtual controller cannot add new parties to the conference nor remove any party that was added to the conference, but a virtual controller can transfer, park, or redirect the conference to another party, who would, in turn, become the virtual controller of the conference. When this virtual controller hangs up the call, the conference ends. Interaction with Call Park, Call Transfer, and Redirect The ConfList and the Remove softkey feature is available only on SCCP phones. The SIP phones have a Show Details button with similar functionality. Softkey display on SIP phones Conference Restrictions The following restrictions apply to ad hoc conferencing: Restrictions Feature Unified Communications Manager supports a maximum of 100 simultaneous Ad Hoc conferences for each Unified Communications Manager server. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports a maximum of 64 participants per Ad Hoc conference (provided adequate conference resources are available). In the case of linked Ad Hoc conferences, the system considers each conference as one participant.

Restrictions Feature Unified Communications Manager uses“ beep” and “beepbeep” tones when a new party is added and when the new party drops from the Ad Hoc conference, respectively. When a party is added to an Ad Hoc conference, a user on a phone that is running SIP may not hear the beep; when a participant drops from the Ad Hoc conference, a user on a phone that is running SIP may not hear the “beepbeep”. Users might not hear the beeps because of the time it takes Unified Communications Manager to set up and tear down connections during the conferencing process. You can invoke Ad Hoc conference linking for phones that are running SIP only by using the Conference and Transfer functions. The system does not support Direct Transfer and Join. Supported phones that are running SIP comprise Cisco Unified IP Phone 7911, 7941, 7961. Ad Hoc conference on SIP phones: • Cisco Unified IP Phone 7911 • Cisco Unified IP Phone 7941 • Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961 • Phones display individual calls as conference calls. Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940 and 7960 can create local conference calls but not Ad Hoc conference calls. • Conference list (ConfList), is not available. • Remove last conference participant (RmLstC), is not available. • Drop Ad Hoc conference is not supported. • The SIP Profile parameter Conference Join Enabled controls behavior of the phone that is running SIP when the conference controller exits a locally hosted conference. If the Conference Join Enabled check box is unchecked, all legs disconnect when the conference controller exits the Ad Hoc conference call. If the Conference Join Enabled check box is checked, the remaining two parties stay connected. • To achieve the same level of control that the Drop Ad Hoc Conference parameter settings provide for conference calls that a phone that is running SCCP initiates, the administrator can use a combination of the Conference Join Enabled SIP profile parameter and the Block OffNet to OffNet Transfer service parameter for conferences that are initiated on the phone that is running SIP (Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940 or 60). (Because the phone that is running SIP performs a transfer when it drops out of the conference call, the Block OffNet to OffNet Transfer can prevent toll fraud by not allowing two offnet phones to remain in the call.) • Unified Communications Manager uses “beep” and “beepbeep” tones when a new party is added and when the new party drops from the Ad Hoc conference, respectively. When a party is added to an Ad Hoc conference, a user on a phone that is running SIP may not hear the beep when a participant drops from the Ad Hoc conference, a user on a phone that is running SIP may not hear the “beepbeep”. Users might not hear the beeps because of the time it takes Unified Communications Manager to set up and tear down connections during the conferencing process.

To host a meeting, configured users must configure a meeting PIN that they will need to enter, along with the meeting number, when starting the meeting. The host provides the other meeting participants with the relevant meeting information, including the time slot, meeting number (which is usually the host’s primary extension) and an optional access code for secure conferences. At the designated time, the other participants can join the call by dialing the IVR, and entering the meeting information at the prompts. Administrators must configure end users with the ability to host Conference Now conferences. After the feature is configured, meeting hosts can edit their meeting access code from within the Self-Care Portal. Cisco recommends that you use IPVMS software-based conference bridges for Conference Now. If you use other conference bridges, the conference entry and exit tones may not play to participants. Note Conference Now Prerequisites To use Conference Now you must make sure that the following media resources are configured, and are available to the devices that will be initiating conferences.

Interactions Feature A call is directed to Unified Communications Manager through the enterprise PSTN H.323 or SIP gateway. The IVR prompts the user to enter the User ID, # key, PIN, # key, number 1 (to make a Mobile Voice Access call) and then the desired phone number. If the phone number is a Conference Now IVR Directory Number and the user is a meeting host, then the user must enter the PIN again. Note Users are not prompted for entering their PIN if they dial directly from their remote destination. However, if they dial from a different phone to Mobile Voice Access Directory Number, then they are prompted to enter PIN before they can make the call. If the users call Conference Now IVR Directory Number, they are prompted to enter the PIN again. Mobility MVA (Mobile Voice Access) Conference Now Restrictions The Conference Now feature has the following restrictions: • The host cannot mute attendees. • The attendee cannot mute the audio by entering DTMF digits. • The list of Conference Now participants is not supported. • Maximum number of participants in a conference is controlled by the existing CallManager service parameter "Maximum MeetMe Conference Unicast". It applies to both internal and external callers. • Maximum number of simultaneous Conference Now and MeetMe conference instances combined together is 100 per Unified Communications Manager CallManager node. • Video on hold is not supported. • The IPVMS software conference bridge only supports codec G.711 (ALaw & ULaw) and Wide Band 256k. If there is a codec mismatch between the calling device and the software conference bridge, a transcoder will be allocated. • Ensure that at least one of the following conditions are met to play the conference party entry and exit tone: • At least one conference participant is using the Cisco IP Phone. • IPVMS is the allocated software conference bridge. • When the sets up a Conference Bridge, the conference will continue with the remaining attendees irrespective whether the host is present or not. If the host wants to rejoin the conference, an announcement to enter the Attendee Access Code is played if it is configured by host. The host cannot schedule or mute attendees; therefore, the host status is no longer valid. • No audio announcement will play if the host is the first person to join the conference. However, when the host dials into Conference Now from an internal IP Phone, there is a visual display on the IP Phone showing “To Conference”.

Call Back Interactions Interaction Feature Calls that are made from CallBack notification screen will override all the Call Forward configured values on the target DN. The calls should be made before CallBack recall timer expires otherwise the calls will not override the Call Forward configured values. Call Forward CallBack notification works differently only for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960 and 7940. All other SIP phones and all SCCP phones support on-hook and off-hook notification. The only way that Unified Communications Manager knows when a line on a SIP 7960 or 7940 phone becomes available is by monitoring an incoming SIP INVITE message that Unified Communications Manager receives from the phone. After the phone sends the SIP INVITE to Unified Communications Manager and the phone goes on-hook, Unified Communications Manager sends an audio and CallBack notification screen to the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960 and 7940 (SIP) user.

Interaction Feature CallBack would work normally in case or when DND-Reject is set to Off at the originating or the terminating end. The behavior differs only when DND-Reject is set to On. • DND-Reject On on Originating end—User A calls User B and invokes Call Back. User A goes on DND-R. After User B is available, the CallBack notification will still be displayed to User A. That is, user will still be notified with the availability of the other party irrespective of the DND status. • DND-Reject On on Terminating end—User A calls User B, and User B has set DND-Reject to On. User A will get a fast busy tone. User A can initiate CallBack on a busy endpoint. If User B is still on DND-Reject and goes Offhook and Onhook, User A will get a notification “User B is available now but on DND-R”, and it will not show the Dial option. If User A does not choose to cancel, CallBack will still monitor User B until User B sets DND-Reject to Off. Do Not Disturb (DND) When a Cisco Extension Mobility user logs in or logs out, any active call completion that is associated with Call Back is automatically canceled. If a called phone is removed from the system after Call Back is activated on the phone, the caller receives a reorder tone after pressing the Dial softkey. The user may cancel or reactivate Call Back. Cisco Extension Mobility Call Back Restrictions Restriction Feature The Call Back feature does not work for video calls when the call is placed between two Unified CM clusters that are connected via CUBE with qsig-enabled SIP trunks. For additional detail, see CSCun46243. Call Back with video across CUBE Call Back is not supported over SIP trunks but is supported over QSIG-enabled SIP trunks. SIP Trunks Call Back only supports spaces and digits 0 through 9 for the name or number of the calling or called party. To work with CallBack, the name or number of the calling or called party cannot contain a pound sign (#) or asterisk (*). Supported characters for name or number of calling or called party You cannot activate Call Back if you forward all calls to Voice-Messaging System.

Call Back Troubleshooting This section describes the problems, possible causes, and solutions for various scenarios, and error messages that are displayed on the IP phone for Call Back. Unplug/Reset Phone After Pressing CallBack Softkey but Before CallBack Occurs Problem You have unplugged or reset the phone after pressing the CallBack Softkey but before activating CallBack. Possible Cause Unified Communications Manager cancels the Call Back activation. Solution After the caller phone registers, the caller phone does not display the Call Back activation window after the reset. The caller must press the CallBack Softkey to view the active Call Back service. CallBack notification occurs on the phone. Caller Misses to View Availability Notification Before Phone Reset Problem In an intracluster or intercluster Call Back scenario, a caller initiates Call Back for a user, for example, User B, who is unavailable. When User B becomes available, the availability notification screen displays on the caller phone, and a tone plays. The caller misses the availability notification for some reason, and the phone resets. The caller contacts a different user, User C, for example, and presses the CallBack softkey because User C appears busy. The replace/retain screen displays on the caller phone, but the screen does not state that the availability notification already occurred for User B. Possible Cause The user reset the phone. Solution After a phone reset but not during an active call, review the Call Back notifications on the phone. Press the CallBack softkey. Call Back Error Messages The following section describes the error messages that display on the IP phone screen.

CallBack Is Not Active Problem The following error message is displayed: CallBack is not active. Press Exit to quit this screen. Possible Cause User pressed the CallBack softkey during the idle state. Solution Follow the recommended action provided in the error message. CallBack Is Already Active Problem The following error message is displayed: CallBack is already active on xxxx. Press OK to activate on yyyy. Press Exit to quit this screen. Possible Cause A user tried to activate Call Back, but it is already active. Problem Follow the recommended action provided in the error message. CallBack Cannot Be Activated Problem The following error message is displayed: CallBack cannot be activated for xxxx. Possible Cause When a user tried to activate Call Back, either the extension is not available in Unified Communications Manager database or there is no QSIG route to the destination (that is, the extension belongs to remote Proxy which is connected via non-QSIG trunk), and the extension is not found in the database. Solution The user must try again, or the administrator must add the directory number to the Cisco Unified CM Administration.

C H A P T E R 23 Hotline • Hotline Overview, on page 257 • System Requirements for Hotline, on page 258 • Hotline Configuration Task Flow, on page 258 • Hotline Troubleshooting, on page 269 Hotline Overview The Hotline feature extends the Private Line Automatic Ringdown (PLAR) feature, which allows you to configure a phone so that when the user goes off hook (or the NewCall softkey or Line Key gets pressed), the phone immediately dials a preconfigured number. This is useful for phones that are designated for calling emergency or "hotline" numbers. The administrator can configure a delay of up to 15-seconds. This allows the user time to place a call before the phone defaults to the hotline number. You can configure the Off Hook To First Digit Timer parameter to set the timer in Device > Device Settings > SIP Profile. Hotline adds the following additional restrictions and administrator controls for phones that use PLAR: • Hotline devices (devices configured to use hotline) that receive calls will receive calls only from other hotline devices, and will reject non-hotline callers. • You can configure a Hotline phone to call only, receive only, or both call and receive. • You can restrict the features available on a Hotline phone by applying a softkey template to the phone. • Analog hotline phones ignore inbound hookflash signals. Route Class Signaling Hotline uses route class signaling to allow Hotline phones to receive calls only from other Hotline phones. A route class is a DSN code that identifies the class of traffic for a call. The route class informs downstream devices about special routing or termination requirements. A Hotline phone can only accept calls from a Hotline phone with the same route class. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 257

When configuring speed dial entries, some of the speed dial entries are assigned to the speed dial buttons on the IP phone; the remaining speed dial entries are used for abbreviated dialing. When a user starts dialing digits, the AbbrDial softkey displays, and the user can access any speed dial entry by entering the appropriate index (code) for abbreviated dialing. The speed dial settings on the phone are associated with a physical button on a phone, whereas the abbreviated dial settings are not associated with a phone button. Programming Speed Dials with Pauses You can program commas in your speed dials to reach destinations that require a Forced Authorization Code (FAC), Client Matter Code (CMC), dialing pause, or additional digits (such as a user extension, meeting access number, or voice mail password). Within a speed dial, each comma (,) represents either: • A delimiter that separates the destination call address from an FAC or CMC code • A pause of 2 seconds prior to sending post-connect DTMF digits For example, let’s say that you want a speed dial that includes FAC and CMC codes, followed by IVR prompts where: • The called number is 91886543. • The FAC code is 8787. • The CMC code is 5656. • The IVR response is 987989#, which must be entered 4 seconds after the call connects. In this case, you would program 91886543,8787,5656,,987989# as the speed dial. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 271

Speed Dial and Abbreviated Dial Configuration Task Flow Procedure Purpose Command or Action Generate a report to identify devices that support the Speed Dial and Abbreviated Dial feature. Generate a Phone Feature List, on page 5 Step 1 Configure Speed Dial and Abbreviated Dial numbers. Configure Speed Dial and Abbreviated Dial, on page 272 Step 2 Configure Speed Dial and Abbreviated Dial You can configure a total of 199 speed dial and abbreviated dial settings. Configure speed dial settings for the physical buttons on the phone. Configure abbreviated dial settings for the speed dial numbers that you access with abbreviated dialing. You can configure speed dial entries and abbreviated dial indexes in the same window. You can also configure post connect DTMF digits as well as FAC , CMC codes as part of the speed dial. Follow these steps to configure speed dial and abbreviated dial. Not all Cisco Unified IP Phones support abbreviated dialing. See the phone user guide for information. Note Before you begin Generate a Phone Feature List, on page 5 Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Device > Phone. Enter your search criteria and click Find. Choose the phone for which you want to configure speed dial buttons. Step 2 From the Phone Configuration window, choose Add/Update Speed Dials from the Related Links drop-down list at the top of the window and click Go. The Speed Dial and Abbreviated Dial Configuration window appears for the phone. Step 3 In the Number field, enter the number that you want the system to dial when the user presses the speed dial button or the abbreviated dial index for abbreviated dial. You can enter digits 0 through 9, *, #, and +, which is the international escape character. To include dialing pauses in the speed dial, you can enter comma (,) which can act as a delimiter before sending DTMF digits. Each comma you include represents an additional pause of 2 seconds. For example, two commas (,,) represent a pause of 4 seconds. Use of commas also allows you to separate FAC and CMC from the other digits in the speed dial string.

Ensure that the following requirements are met when you include FAC and CMC in the speed dial string: • FAC must always precede CMC in the speed dial string. • A speed dial label is required for speed dials with FAC and DTMF digits. • Only one comma is allowed between FAC and CMC digits in the string. Step 4 In the Label field, Enter the text that you want to display for the speed dial button or abbreviated dial number. Note This field is not available for all the phones. To determine whether this field is available for your Cisco Unified IP Phone, see the user documentation for your phone model. Step 5 (Optional) If you are configuring a pause in speed dial, you must add a label so that FAC, CMC, and DTMF digits are not displayed on the phone screen.

Configure Proxy User If you use makeCallProxy HTML over HTTP interface to develop an application for using Cisco WebDialer, create a proxy user. For information about the makeCallProxy interface, see the makeCallProxy section in the Cisco WebDialer API Reference Guide. MakeCallProxy HTTP Methods is a service parameter under WebDialer Service. This parameter controls the HTTP methods that the MakeCallProxy API accepts. HTTP GET is considered insecure because the credentials required by the API are included as parameters in HTTP GET requests. Hence these HTTP GET parameters can be captured in the application logs and in the web browser's history. When the service parameter MakeCallProxy HTTP Methods is set to Secure, request made by the HTTP GET will be rejected. By default the parameter MakeCallProxy HTTP Methods is set to Insecure, so that the API accepts both GET and POST methods and the backward compatibility is maintained.

C H A P T E R 27 Intercom • Intercom Overview, on page 311 • Intercom Prerequisites, on page 312 • Intercom Configuration Task Flow, on page 312 • Intercom Interactions, on page 316 • Intercom Restrictions, on page 317 • Intercom Troubleshooting, on page 318 Intercom Overview Intercom is a type of phone line that combines the functionality of a traditional line and a speed dial. With an intercom line, a user can call the intercom line of another user, which answers automatically to one-way audio whisper. The recipient can then acknowledge the whispered call and initiate a two-way intercom call. You can use an intercom line to dial any other intercom line in the intercom partition, or you can preconfigure the line to target an intercom line outside the intercom partition. Intercom allows a user to place a call to a predefined target. The called destination answers the call automatically in speakerphone mode with mute activated. This sets up a one-way voice path between the initiator and the destination, so the initiator can deliver a short message, regardless of whether the called party is busy or idle. To ensure that the voice of the called party does not get sent back to the caller when the intercom call is automatically answered, Unified Communications Manager implements whisper intercom. Whisper intercom ensures that only one-way audio exists from the caller to the called party. The called party must manually press a key to talk to the caller. An auto-answer tone indicates the beginning of the whisper intercom state for both the sender and the recipient. Intercom and Default Devices Each intercom line needs a default device. The intercom line is displayed only on the designated default device. When the administrator assigns an intercom line to a device, the system sets the device as the default device for the intercom line if not set previously. The administrator can modify the default device for the intercom line. When the administrator changes the default device to a different device, the intercom line gets removed from the original device, even though the intercom line may still be assigned to the original device.

Intercom Interactions Interaction Feature The Unified Communications Manageradministrator can use the Bulk Administration Tool to add many intercom users at once instead of adding users individually. For more information, see Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Bulk Administration Tool When the intercom destination is a barge target, the Cisco Unified IP Phone can still support whisper intercom. When the destination caller chooses to talk to the intercom caller by pressing the intercom button, the original call is put on hold, and the barge initiator is released. Barge The intercom call will override DND on the destination phone. Do Not Disturb (DND) When a call is preserved, the end user must hang up before the phone can reregister with Unified Communications Manager. When the intercom call is in whisper mode, it represents a one-way medium, and the terminating side might have no user at all; therefore, only the intercom call in talkback mode will get preserved. (Whisper intercom will not get preserved.) Call Preservation When Cisco Unified IP Phones register with SRST, the phones do not register intercom lines; therefore, the feature will not be available when the phones are registered with SRST. Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) With the Unified Communications Manager Assistant Configuration Wizard, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant configuration takes less time and eliminates errors. The partitions, calling search spaces, route point, and translation pattern automatically get created when the administrator successfully runs and completes the configuration wizard. Cisco Unified CommunicationsManager Assistant You can use CTI/JTAPI/TSP to set or modify the preconfigured target directory number for an intercom line. You will receive notification if the target directory number is updated or reconfigured through Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. Be aware that CTI/JTAPI/TSP is backward compatible if the intercom line is not configured to be controlled by the application. If the intercom line is configured in the application user list, you may have to make changes and test the compatibility. CTI The intercom feature interacts with Cisco Extension Mobility. The system presents an intercom line to a user who uses Cisco Extension Mobility to log in to a phone that supports the feature if the device profile that the user uses to log in has an intercom line that is provisioned. The phone must be the default device for that intercom line.

Interaction Feature Intercom can support phones with an IP Addressing Mode of IPv4 Only or IPv4 and IPv6. During an intercom call, the talkback mode establishes media streams with the same IP version as the media stream that is used when the caller initiates intercom. Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Intercom directory numbers (lines) are restricted to one device per intercom line. Cisco Extension Mobility is widely used; mobile users need the intercom feature but need it to be available only on a single device. You can assign intercom lines to either a regular device or to an extension mobility profile, but the system needs to enforce that an intercom line gets associated to either a regular device or to an extension mobility profile. Intercom directory numbers (lines) An extension mobility profile can be used on more than one phone simultaneously, use the Default Activated Device field in the Intercom Directory Number Configuration window ( Cisco Unified CM Administration > Call Routing > Intercom > ntercom Directory Number Configuration) to specify which device can display this intercom line. Intercom lines that are not used for Extension Mobility also require configuration of the Default Activated Device field. Extension mobility profile Intercom Restrictions The following restrictions apply to the Intercom feature: Restrictions Feature The system does not allow intercom calls to be placed on hold. Hold Intercom calls cannot be forwarded. Call Forwarding The system does not allow an intercom call to be transferred. Transfer The system does not allow an intercom call to be diverted. iDivert The call pickup groups do not include intercom calls. Call Pickup/Directed Call Pickup Intercom overrides Do Not Disturb (DND). DND If sufficient bandwidth does not exist, the intercom call fails.

Troubleshooting SCCP Intercom Lines Not Showing Up on Phone Problem Intercom lines do not display on the phone. Possible Cause The phone version may be earlier than 8.3(1), or the button template may not be assigned to the phone. Solution • Check the phone version. Ensure that it is 8.3(1) or later. • Determine whether the button template is assigned to the phone. • Capture the sniffer trace between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the phone. In the button template response, see whether intercom lines get sent to the phone (button definition = Ox17). Intercom Lines Not Showing Up When Phone Falls Back to SRST Problem A phone that was configured with Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0(x) or later, includes two intercom lines. Unified Communications Manager stops and falls back to SRST. The intercom lines do not display. Possible Cause The SCCP version of SRST does not support SCCP Version 12. Solution • Check the SCCP Version of SRST. If SRST supports SCCP Version 12, it will support intercom lines. • If SRST supports SCCP Version 12, capture a sniffer trace and ensure that the button template that the phone sent includes intercom lines.

Prime Line Support Troubleshooting Prime Line Support Does Not Work When Set To True Problem When the cluster-wide service parameter Always use Prime Line is set to True and the IP phone goes off-hook, the primary line becomes the active line. Even if a call rings on the second line, when the user goes off-hook, it activates only the first line. The phone does not answer the call on the second line. However, when IP phones with multiple line appearances are used with the 7.1.2 phone load, the phone does not use the primary line when a second line rings. If the user picks up the handset, the phone answers the call on the second line. Solution Press the line button for the primary line so that the secondary line is not engaged when a call is initiated. Unable To Answer Inbound Calls Problem The users are unable to automatically answer inbound calls after they go off-hook on IP phones, and must press the Answer softkey to answer the calls. Solution To resolve the problem, perform the following procedure: 1. From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose System > Service Parameters. 2. From the Server drop-down list, choose the server that is running the Cisco CallManager service. 3. From the Service drop-down list, choose Cisco CallManager. 4. In Cluster wide parameters (Device - phone), set Always Use Prime Line to False. Inbound Calls Are Answered Automatically Problem When an inbound call is received on a shared line of an IP phone, the call is answered immediately as the handset is lifted, without the option to either answer the call or make an outbound call. This behavior does not change even though Auto Line Select is set to disabled. Solution To resolve the problem, perform the following procedure: 1. From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose System > Service Parameters. 2. From the Server drop-down list, choose the server that is running the Cisco CallManager service. 3.

The following call forwarding types are supported: • Call Forward No Bandwidth—Forwards calls when a call to a directory number fails due to insufficient bandwidth, and provides forwarding functionality to an Automated Alternate Routing (AAR) destination using public switched telephone network (PSTN) as the alternate route or to a voicemail system. • Call Forward with Alternate Destination—Forwards calls when a call to a directory number and the forwarded destination are not answered. The call gets diverted to an alternate destination as a last resort. This Call Forwarding type is also referred to as “MLPP Alternate Party destination.” • Call Forward All (CFA)—Forwards all calls to a directory number. • Call Forward Busy (CFB)—Forwards calls only when the line is in use and the configured Call Forward Busy trigger value is reached. • Call Forward No Answer (CFNA)—Forwards calls when the phone is not answered after the configured No Answer Ring Duration timer is exceeded or the destination is unregistered. • Call Forward No Coverage (CFNC)—Forwards calls when the hunt list is exhausted or timed out, and the associated hunt-pilot for coverage specifies “Use Personal Preferences” for its final forwarding. • Call Forward Unregistered (CFU)—Forwards calls when the phone is unregistered due to a remote WAN link failure, and provides automated rerouting through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Calls can also be forwarded based on the type of caller: internal or external. • CFA Destination Override—Forwards calls when the user to whom calls are being forwarded (the target) calls the user whose calls are being forwarded (the initiator). The phone of the initiator rings instead of call forwarding back to the target. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 327

Page 370#

chunk 319

Call Forward All, Including CFA Loop Prevention and CFA Loop Breakout Call Forward All (CFA) allows a phone user to forward all calls to a directory number. You can configure CFA for internal and external calls and can forward calls to a voicemail system or a dialed destination number by configuring the calling search space (CSS). Unified Communications Manager includes a secondary Calling Search Space configuration field for CFA. The secondary CSS for CFA combines with the existing CSS for CFA to allow support of the alternate CSS system configuration. When you activate CFA, only the primary and secondary CSS for CFA are used to validate the CFA destination and redirect the call to the CFA destination. If these fields are empty, the null CSS is used. Only the CSS fields that are configured in the primary CSS for CFA and secondary CSS for CFA fields are used. If CFA is activated from the phone, the CFA destination is validated by using the CSS for CFA and the secondary CSS for CFA, and the CFA destination gets written to the database. When a CFA is activated, the CFA destination always gets validated against the CSS for CFA and the secondary CSS for CFA. Unified Communications Manager prevents CFA activation on the phone when a CFA loop is identified. For example, Unified Communications Manager identifies a call forward loop when the user presses the CFwdALL softkey on the phone with directory number 1000 and enters 1001 as the CFA destination, and 1001 has forwarded all calls to directory number 1002, which has forwarded all calls to directory number 1003, which has forwarded all calls to 1000. In this case, Unified Communications Manager identifies that a loop has occurred and prevents CFA activation on the phone with directory number 1000. If the same directory number exists in different partitions, for example, directory number 1000 exists in partitions 1 and 2, Unified Communications Manager allows the CFA activation on the phone. Tip CFA loops do not affect call processing because Unified Communications Manager supports CFA loop breakout, which ensures that if a CFA loop is identified, the call goes through the entire forwarding chain, breaks out of the Call Forward All loop, and the loop is completed as expected, even if CFNA, CFB, or other forwarding options are configured along with CFA for one of the directory numbers in the forwarding chain. For example, the user for the phone with directory number 1000 forwards all calls to directory number 1001, which has forwarded all calls to directory number 1002, which has forwarded all calls to directory number 1000, which creates a CFA loop. In addition, directory number 1002 has configured CFNA to directory number 1004. The user at the phone with directory number 1003 calls directory number 1000, which forwards to 1001, which forwards to 1002. Unified Communications Manager identifies a CFA loop, and the call, which breaks out of the loop, tries to connect to directory number 1002. If the No Answer Ring Duration timer expires before the user for the phone with directory number 1002 answers the call, Unified Communications Manager forwards the call to directory number 1004. For a single call, Unified Communications Manager may identify multiple CFA loops and attempt to connect the call after each loop is identified.

Configure Call Forwarding when Hunt List is Exhausted or Hunt Timer Expires The concept of hunting differs from that of call forwarding. Hunting allows Unified Communications Manager to extend a call to one or more lists of numbers, where each list specifies a hunting order that is chosen from a fixed set of algorithms. When a call extends to a hunt party from these lists and the party fails to answer or is busy, hunting resumes with the next hunt party. (The next hunt party varies depending on the current hunt algorithm.) Hunting then ignores the Call Forward No Answer (CFNA), Call Forward Busy (CFB), or Call Forward All (CFA) configured values for the attempted party. Call Forwarding allows detailed control as to how to extend (divert or redirect) a call when a called party fails to answer, or is busy and hunting is not taking place. For example, if the CFNA value for a line is set to a hunt-pilot number, a call to that line that is not answered diverts to the hunt-pilot number and begins hunting.

Valid values are 1 to 3600. The default value is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). Caution Do not specify the same value for the Maximum Hunt Timer and the RNA Reversion Timeout on the associated line group. The forward no answer timer should be greater than the RNA timer of the line group. The forward no answer timer should not be multiples of RNA timer of line group. This timer is canceled if either a hunt member answers the call or the hunt list gets exhausted before the timer expires. If you do not specify a value for this timer, hunting continues until a hunt member answers or the hunt list is exhausted. If neither event takes place, hunting continues for 30 minutes, after which the call is received for final treatment. Note If hunting exceeds the number of hops that the Forward Maximum Hop Count service parameter specifies, hunting expires before the 30 minute maximum hunt timer value, and the caller receives a reorder tone.

Directory Number Configuration Fields for Call Forwarding Description Field Check this check box to forward the call to the voicemail. Note When you check this check box, Unified Communications Manager ignores the values in the Destination and Calling Search Space fields. Voice Mail Enter a destination mask to determine the AAR destination to dial instead of using the external phone number mask. AAR Destination Mask Choose an AAR group from the drop-down list. It provides the prefix digits that are used to route calls that are otherwise blocked due to insufficient bandwidth. If you choose None, the server does not attempt to reroute the blocked calls. You can also configure this value in the Precedence Alternate Party Timeout service parameter from System > Service Parameters. AAR Group By default, the directory number configuration retains the AAR leg of the call in the call history, which ensures that the AAR forward to voicemail system will prompt the user to leave a voice message.

Description Field Three possible values exist for this option: • Use System Default—The CFA CSS Activation Policy service parameter determines which Forward All Calling Search Space to use for Call Forwarding. If the CFA CSS Activation Policy service parameter is set to With Configured CSS, then Forward All Calling Search Space and secondary Calling Search Space for Forward All will be used for Call Forwarding. This is the default setting. • With Configured CSS—The Forward All Calling Search Space that is explicitly configured in the Directory Number Configuration window controls the Forward All activation and Call Forwarding. If the Forward All Calling Search Space is set to None, no CSS is configured for Forward All. A Forward All activation attempt to any directory number with a partition will fail. No change in the Forward All Calling Search Space and secondary Calling Search Space for Forward All occurs during the Forward All activation. • With Activating Device/Line CSS—A combination of the Directory Number Calling Search Space and Device Calling Search Space controls the Forward All activation and Call Forwarding without explicitly configuring a Forward All Calling Search Space. When Forward All is activated from the phone, the Forward All Calling Search Space and secondary Calling Search Space for Forward All automatically gets populated with the Directory Number Calling Search Space and Device Calling Search Space for the activating device. If the Forward All Calling Search Space is set to None, and when Forward All is activated through the phone, the combination of Directory Number Calling Search Space and activating Device Calling Search Space controls the Forward All attempt. CFA CSS Activation Policy—Ensure that you configure this service parameter correctly for Forward All to work as intended in the Service Parameter Configuration window. The service parameter includes two possible values: • With Configured CSS—The primary and secondary CFA Calling Search Space controls the Call Forwarding attempt. • With Activating Device/Line CSS—The primary and secondary CFA Calling Search Space is updated with primary Line Calling Search Space and activating Device Calling Search Space. Roaming—When a device is roaming in the same device mobility group, Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the Device Mobility CSS to reach the local gateway. If a user sets Call Forward All at the phone, the CFA CSS is set to None, and the CFA CSS Activation Policy is set to With Activating Device/Line CSS, then: • The Device CSS and Line CSS is used as the CFA CSS when the device is in its home location. • If the device is roaming within the same device mobility group, the Device Mobility CSS from the Roaming Device Pool and the Line CSS is used as the CFA CSS. • If the device is roaming within a different device mobility group, the Device CSS and Line CSS is used as the CFA CSS.

Description Field The fields in this row of fields specify the Call Forwarding treatment for calls to this directory number if the directory number is set to forward all calls. The value in the Calling Search Space field is used to validate the Forward All destination that is entered when the user activates Call Forward All from the phone. This field is also used to redirect the call to the Call Forward All destination. Configure the following values: • Voice Mail—Check this check box to use the value that is set in the Voice Mail Profile Configuration window. Note When this check box is checked, Unified Communications Manager ignores the values in the Destination and Calling Search Space fields. • Destination—This field indicates the directory number to which all calls are forwarded. Use any dialable phone number, including an outside destination. • Calling Search Space—This value applies to all devices that use this directory number. • Forward Maximum Hop Count—Configure this parameter from the Cisco Unified CM Administrator, choose System > Service Parameters. This service parameter specifies the maximum number of times that a single call can be forwarded or diverted, and has special considerations for QSIG calls. For an incoming QSIG call, the maximum value is 15 (per ISO specifications); if you specify a greater value in this field, the specified value will apply to non-QSIG calls and for an incoming QSIG call, the call will only divert a maximum of 15 times. When QSIG trunks are configured, Cisco recommends setting this parameter to 15. For example, if the value of this parameter is seven, and a Call Forward All chain occurs consecutively from directory numbers 1000 to 007, which comprises seven hops, Cisco Unified Communications Manager prevents a phone user with directory number 2000 from activating CFA to directory number 1000, because no more than seven forwarding hops are supported for a single call. Forward All Because Call Forwarding is a line-based feature, in cases where the Device Calling Search Space is unknown, the system uses only the Line Calling Search Space to forward the call. If the Line Calling Search Space is restrictive and not routable, the forward attempt fails. Addition of a secondary calling search space for Call Forward All provides a solution to enable forwarding. The primary calling search space for Call Forward All and secondary calling search space for Call Forward All get concatenated (primary CFA CSS

  • secondary CFA CSS). Unified Communications Manager uses this combination to validate the CFA destination and to forward the call.

Description Field The fields in this row of fields specify the forwarding treatment for internal calls to this directory number if the directory number is busy. The values in the Destination and the Calling Search Space fields are used to redirect the call to the forward destination. Configure the following values: • Voice Mail—Check this check box to use the configured values in the Voice Mail Profile Configuration window for internal calls. Note When this check box is checked, the calling search space of the voicemail pilot is used. Unified Communications Manager ignores the values in the Destination and the Calling Search Space fields. Note When this check box is checked for internal calls, the system automatically checks the Voice Mail check box for external calls. If you do not want external calls to be forwarded to the voicemail system, you must uncheck the Voice Mail check box for external calls. • Destination—This field indicates the Call Forward Busy destination for internal calls. Use any dialable phone number, including an outside destination. Note When you enter a destination value for internal calls, the system automatically copies this value to the Destination field for external calls. If you want external calls to be forwarded to a different destination, you must enter a different value in the Destination field for external calls. • Calling Search Space—The Forward Busy Internal Calling Search Space is used to forward the call to the Forward Busy Internal destination. It applies to all devices that use this directory number. Note If the system is using partitions and calling search spaces, Cisco recommends that you configure the Call Forward Calling Search Spaces. When a call is forwarded or redirected to the Call Forward destination, the configured Call Forward Calling Search Space is used to forward the call. If the Calling Search Space field is set to None, the forward operation fails if the system uses partitions and calling search spaces. For example, if you configure the Forward Busy destination, you should also configure the Forward Busy Calling Search Space. If you do not configure the Forward Busy Calling Search Space and the Forward Busy destination is in a partition, the forward operation fails. Note When you choose a calling search space for internal calls, the system automatically copies this value to the calling search space setting for external calls. If you want external calls to be forwarded to a different calling search space, you must choose a different value in the Calling Search Space field for external calls. The Call Forward Busy trigger is configured for each line appearance and cannot exceed the maximum number of calls that are configured for a line appearance. The Call Forward Busy trigger determines how many active calls exist on a line before the Call Forward Busy setting is activated (for example, ten calls). Tip Keep the busy trigger slightly lower than the maximum number of calls so that users can make outgoing calls and perform transfers. Tip If a call gets forwarded to a directory number that is busy, the call is not completed.

Interaction Feature The Connected Number Display restriction applies to all calls that originate in the system. When this value is set to True, this field interacts transparently with existing Unified Communications Manager applications, features, and call processing. The value applies to all calls that terminate inside or outside the system. The Connected Number Display is updated to show the modified number or redirected number when a call is routed to a Call Forward All or Call Forward Busy destination, or gets redirected through a call transfer or CTI application. Call Display Restrictions On Cisco Unified IP Phones, the message that indicates that the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature is active takes priority over the message that indicates that the user has new voice messages. However, the message that indicates that the Call Forward All feature is active has a higher priority than DND. Do Not Disturb External Call Control intercepts calls at the translation pattern level, while Call Forward intercepts calls at the directory number level. External Call Control has higher priority; for calls where call forward is invoked, Unified Communications Manager sends a routing query to the adjunct route server if the translation pattern has an External Call Control profile assigned to it. Call Forwarding is triggered only when the adjunct route server sends a Permit decision with a Continue obligation to the Unified Communications Manager. Note The Call Diversion Hop Count service parameter that supports External Call Control, and the Call Forward Call Hop Count service parameter that supports Call Forwarding are independent of each other; they work separately. External Call Control Cisco Extension Mobility Cross Cluster supports Call Forwarding. Extension Mobility Cross Cluster Extend and Connect supports Call Forward All. Extend and Connect When the Forward No Answer field in the Directory Number Configuration window is not configured, Call Forward uses the clusterwide CFNA timer service parameter, Forward No Answer Timer. If a user presses the iDivert softkey at the same time as the call is being forwarded, the call gets diverted to an assigned call forward directory number (because the amount of time set on the timer was too short), not the voicemail. To resolve this situation, set the CFNA timer service parameter to enough time (for example, 60 seconds). Immediate Divert Unified Communications Manager performs logical partitioning policy check using the geolocation identifier information that associates with the incoming and forwarded devices. This handling applies to all types of call forwarding.

Interaction Feature Call Forward Busy • You can optionally configure a preconfigured Precedence Alternate Party target for any MLPP-enabled station. • Cisco Unified Communications Manager applies the Call Forward Busy feature to forward a precedence call in the usual manner before it applies to any Precedence Alternate Party Diversion procedures to the call. • The system preserves precedence of calls across multiple forwarded calls. • If the incoming precedence call is of higher precedence than the existing call, preemption occurs. Both the preempted parties in the active call receive a continuous preemption tone until the station to which the precedence call is directed hangs up. After hanging up, the station to which the precedence call is directed receives precedence ringing. The destination station connects to the preempting call when the station goes off hook. Call Forward No Answer • For calls of Priority precedence level and above, call processing preserves the precedence level of calls during the forwarding process and may preempt the forwarded-to user. • If an Alternate Party is configured for the destination of a precedence call, call processing diverts the precedence call to the Alternate Party after the Precedence Call Alternate Party timeout expires. If no Alternate Party value is configured for the destination of a precedence call, call processing diverts the precedence call to the Call Forward No Answer value. • Normally, precedence calls are routed to users and not to the voicemail system. The administrator sets the Use Standard VM Handling For Precedence Calls enterprise parameter to avoid routing precedence calls to voicemail systems. If the incoming precedence call is of equal or lower precedence than the existing call, call processing invokes normal call-forwarding behavior. If the destination station for a precedence call is nonpreemptable (that is, not MLPP-configured), call processing invokes call-forwarding behavior. Alternate Party Diversion (APD) comprises a special type of call forwarding. If users are configured for APD, APD takes place when a precedence call is directed to a directory number (DN) that is busy or does not answer. MLPP APD applies only to precedence calls. An MLPP APD call disables the DN Call Forward No Answer value for precedence calls.

Interaction Feature When privacy is configured only in the SIP profile of the called party device and Call Forward All (CFA), or Call Forward Busy (CFB), or Call Forward Unregistered (CFUR) is enabled, the configured alerting name is displayed instead of “private”. To ensure that “private” is displayed for call forwarding, Cisco recommends that you configure the name presentation restriction in the translation pattern or the route pattern rather than in the SIP profile. Originally called party name in Placed Call History By using call forwarding settings, you can create rollover lines for a shared line. This could be a useful for some call center situations. With rollover lines, when someone dials a number (e.g. 1-800-HOTLINE), the call always is routed to a specific phone line. This may be a shared line that is shared by multiple phones. If line 1 is busy, the call rolls over to line 2, if line 2 is busy it rolls over to line 3, and so on. Line 2 or 3 become available only if line 1 is busy. This type of call functionality is possible via call forwarding busy settings and the Busy Trigger as follows: • On line 1, set the Busy Trigger to 1 and configure Call Forward Busy to the second line in the chain. • On line 2, set the Busy Trigger to 1 and configure Call Forward Busy to the third line in the chain • Continue this for as many lines as meets your needs. Rollover Lines Call Forward All is supported on protected phones. Secure Tone When the user hands off a call, a new call gets presented on the desk phone. While the desk phone is flashing, Call Forward All is not triggered on the desk phone for the call that was handed off. Session Handoff When you use a shared line with Call Forward All (CFA) setting and choose the 'Calling Number' as 'Redirected Party's External Phone Number' presentation in the outgoing trunk, then the redirected number that is displayed may not be consistent when shared lines have different E164 numbers configured. So we recommend using the same E164 number across Shared lines.

Call Forwarding Restrictions Restriction Feature • If Call Forward All activation occurs in Unified Communications Manager or the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal, Unified Communications Manager does not prevent the CFA loop. • Unified Communications Manager prevents Call Forward All loops if CFA is activated from the phone, if the number of hops for a Call Forward All call exceeds the value that is specified for the Forward Maximum Hop Count service parameter, and if all phones in the forwarding chain have CFA activated (not CFB, CFNA, or any other call forwarding options). For example, if the user with directory number 1000 forwards all calls to directory number 1001, which has CFB and CFNA configured to directory number 1002, which has CFA configured to directory number 1000, Unified Communications Manager allows the call to occur because directory number 1002 acts as the CFB and CFNA (not CFA) destination for directory number 1001. • You cannot activate Call Back if you forward all calls to voicemail system. • An uncommon condition in connection with the Forward No Answer Timeout exists when you press the iDivert softkey. For example, if a manager presses the iDivert softkey immediately after the Forward No Answer timeout, Call Forward forwards the call to a preconfigured directory number. However, if the manager presses the iDivert softkey before the Forward No Answer timeout, Immediate Divert diverts the call to the voicemail of the manager. Call Forwarding When Call Forward All (CFA) and Call Forward Busy (CFB) are activated, the system does not support Immediate Divert (CFA and CFB have precedence over Immediate Divert). Immediate Divert You cannot forward Intercom calls. Intercom When a phone that is running SIP (7906, 7911, 7941, 7961) is logged in to hunt groups and Call Forward All is activated, the call gets presented to the phone that is running SIP. When 7940 and 7960 IP phones that are running SIP are logged in to hunt groups and Call Forward All is activated, the phone gets skipped and the next phone in the line group is rung.

Restriction Feature Logical partitioning handling does not take place in the following circumstances: • When both the caller and forwarded devices are Voice over IP (VoIP) phones. • When geolocation or a geolocation filter is not associated with any device. Logical Partitioning Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) support for supplementary services specifies the following restrictions for Call Forwarding: • Call Forward All (CFA) support for inbound MLPP calls always forwards the call to the MLPP Alternate Party (MAP) target of the called party, if the MAP target is configured. In the event of an incorrect configuration (that is, if no MAP target is specified), the call gets rejected, and the calling party receives reorder tone. • Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) support for inbound MLPP calls forwards the call once to a CFNA target. After the first hop, if the call remains unanswered, the call is sent to the MAP target of the original called party, if the MAP target is configured. In the event of an incorrect configuration (that is, if no MAP target is specified), the call gets rejected, and the calling party receives reorder tone. • Call Forward Busy (CFB) support for inbound MLPP calls forwards the call up to the maximum number that is configured for forwarding hops. If the maximum hop count is reached, the call is sent to the MAP target of the original called party, if the MAP target is configured. In the event of an incorrect configuration (that is, no MAP target is specified), the call gets rejected, and the calling party receives reorder tone. Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) When a call is transferred, the call classification takes on the classification of the transferred leg, rather than the original leg. For example: • Incoming call from PSTN is received by a receptionist. This is an external call. • The receptionist transfers the call to extension 3100. The transferred call is now an internal call. • The user at extension 3100 is busy, but has Call Forward External configured to send external calls back to the receptionist. However, because the call takes on the classification of the second leg (internal), the call goes to voicemail.

C H A P T E R 30 Call Pickup • Call Pickup Overview, on page 353 • Call Pickup Configuration Task Flow, on page 355 • Call Pickup Interactions, on page 373 • Call Pickup Restrictions, on page 373 Call Pickup Overview The Call Pickup feature allows users to answer calls that come in on a directory number other than their own. Consider a setup where phone A is the calling phone. Phone B and phone C are both associated with the same call pickup group. If phone A calls phone B, phone B rings and phone C get the notification. To answer the call on phone C, the user must press the Pickup softkey and answer the call to make the connection. Group Call Pickup Overview The Group Call Pickup feature allows users to pick up incoming calls in another group. Users must dial the appropriate call pickup group number when this feature is activated from a Cisco Unified IP Phone. Users use the GPickUp softkey for this type of call pickup. When a user invokes the Group Call Pickup phone feature while multiple calls are incoming to a pickup group, the user gets connected to the incoming call that has been ringing the longest. Depending on the phone model, the users can either use the Group Pickup programmable feature button or the Group Pickup softkey to pick up an incoming call. If Auto Group Call Pickup is not enabled, the user must press the GPickUp softkey, dial the group number of another pickup group, and answer the call to make the connection. Consider a setup where phone A is the calling phone and there are two call pickup groups namely, X and Y. Call pickup group X is associated with phone B and phone C and call pickup group Y is associated with phone D. If phone A calls phone B, phone B rings and phone C gets the notification. But phone D does not get any notification as it belongs to a pickup group that is different from the one that phone B is associated with. To answer the call on phone D, the user must press the GPickup softkey, dial the group number of call pickup group X. Now phone D starts ringing and when the user answers the call on phone D, phone A and phone D are connected.

Other Group Pickup Overview The Other Group Pickup feature allows users to pick up incoming calls in a group that is associated with their own group. The Unified Communications Manager automatically searches for the incoming call in the associated groups to make the call connection when the user activates this feature from a Cisco Unified IP Phone. Users use the OPickUp softkey for this type of call pickup. If Auto Other Group Pickup is not enabled, the user must press the OPickUp and Answer softkeys to make the call connection. Depending on the phone model, the users can either use the Call Pickup programmable feature button or the Call Pickup softkey to pick up an incoming call. When more than one associated group exists, the first associated group has the highest priority of answering calls for the associated group. For example, groups A, B, and C associate with group X, the group A has the highest priority and the group C has the lowest priority for answering calls. The group X picks up an incoming call in group A, though a call may have come in group C before the incoming call in group A. The longest alerting call (longest ringing time) gets picked up first if multiple incoming calls occur in that group. For other group call pickup, priority takes precedence over the ringing time if multiple associated pickup groups are configured. Note • Each call pickup group can be associated with a maximum of 10 other call pickup groups. • Users can be assigned to only one call pickup group. • Multiple call pickup groups can exist within the same location, but each group name must be unique within that location. Note Directed Call Pickup Overview The Directed Call Pickup feature allows a user to pick up a ringing call on a DN directly by pressing the GPickUp or Group Pickup softkeys and entering the directory number of the device that is ringing. If Auto Directed Call Pickup is not enabled, the user must press the GPickUp softkey, dial the DN of the ringing phone, and answer the call that will now ring on the user phone to make the connection. Unified Communications Manager uses the associated group mechanism to control the privilege of a user who wants to pick up an incoming call by using Directed Call Pickup. The associated group of a user specifies one or more call pickup groups that are associated to the pickup group to which the user belongs. If a user wants to pick up a ringing call from a DN directly, the associated groups of the user must contain the pickup group to which the DN belongs. If two users belong to two different call pickup groups and the associated groups of the users do not contain the call pickup group of the other user, the users cannot invoke Directed Call Pickup to pick up calls from each other. When the user invokes the Directed Call Pickup feature and enters a DN to pick up an incoming call, the user connects to the call that is incoming to the specified phone whether or not the call is the longest ringing call in the call pickup group to which the DN belongs. If multiple calls are ringing on a particular DN and the user invokes Directed Call Pickup to pick up a call from the DN, the user connects to the incoming call that has been ringing the specified DN the longest.

BLF Call Pickup Overview The BLF Call Pickup feature allows Unified Communications Manager to notify a phone user when a call is waiting to be picked up from a BLF DN. The BLF call pickup initiator (the phone that picks up the call) is selected as the next available line or as a specified line. To use a specified line, the line must remain off hook before the BLF SD button is pressed. You can configure a hunt list member DN as the BLF DN to allow an incoming call to a hunt list member to be picked up by the BLF call pickup initiator. The incoming call on the hunt list member can come from the hunt list or be a directed call. The behavior in each case depends on how you configure call pickup for the hunt list member DN, the BLF DN, and the hunt pilot number. When a Call Pickup occurs with the service parameter Auto Call Pickup Enabled set to false, the phone must remain off hook or the user must press the answer key to pick up the call. The BLF SD button on the phone can exist in any of the following states: • Idle—Indicates that no call exists on the BLF DN. • Busy—Indicates that at least one active call exists on the BLF DN, but no alerts exist. • Alert— Indicates by flashing that at least one incoming call exists on the BLF DN. When there is an incoming call to the BLF DN, the BLF SD button flashes on the BLF call pickup initiator phone to indicate that an incoming call to the BLF DN exists. If Auto Call Pickup is configured, the user presses the BLF SD button on the call pickup initiator phone to pick up the incoming call. If auto call pickup is not configured, the phone must remain off hook, or the user must press the answer key to pick up the call.

Call Pickup Interactions Interaction Feature The route plan report displays the patterns and DNs that are configured in Unified Communications Manager. Use the route plan report to look for overlapping patterns and DNs before assigning a DN to call pickup group. Route Plan Report Assigning a partition to the Call Pickup Group number limits call pickup access to users on the basis of the device calling search space. Calling search space and partitions Time of Day (TOD) parameter for members in the associated group enable them to accept calls within the same time period as their own group. TOD associates a time stamp to the calling search space and partition. Time of Day (TOD) When a call pickup occurs through auto call pickup, the system generates two call detail records (CDRs). One CDR applies to the original call that is cleared, and another CDR applies to the requesting call that is connected. When a call pickup occurs via non-auto call pickup, the system generates one call detail record, which applies to the requesting call that is connected. A CDR search returns all CDRs that match a specific time range and other search criteria. You can also search for a type of call that is associated with a particular CDR. The search result displays a call type field that indicates whether the call is a pickup call. Call Accounting When a call pickup occurs with the service parameter Auto Call Pickup Enabled set to false, the call forward that is configured on the phone gets ignored when one of the pickup softkeys is pressed. If the call pickup requestor does not answer the call, the original call gets restored after the pickup no answer timer expires. Call Forwarding Call Pickup Restrictions Description Restriction Although you can assign different lines on a phone to different call pickup groups, Cisco does not recommend this setup because it can be confusing to users.

If you are on an active call, you can park the call to a call park extension by pressing the Park softkey. Another phone in your system can then dial the call park extension to retrieve the call. You can define either a single directory number or a range of directory numbers for use as Call Park extension numbers. You can park only one call at each Call Park extension number. The Call Park feature works within a Unified Communications Manager cluster, and each Unified Communications Manager node in a cluster must have Call Park extension numbers defined. You can define either a single directory number or a range of directory numbers for use as Call Park extension numbers. Ensure that the directory number or range of numbers is unique. If you use the same park ranges on different partitions, ensure that the users have only one partition in their CSS to be able to park and retrieve the calls. Having multiple partitions may lead to incorrect partition selection. Users can dial the assigned route pattern (for example, a route pattern for an intercluster trunk could be 80XX) and the Call Park number (for example, 8022) to retrieve parked calls from another Unified Communications Manager cluster. You must ensure that calling search spaces and partitions are properly configured. Call Park works across clusters. Valid Call Park extension numbers comprise integers and the wildcard character X. You can configure a maximum of XX in a Call Park extension number (for example, 80XX), which provides up to 100 Call Park Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 375

Call Park Configuration Fields Description Field Enter the Call Park extension number. You can enter digits or the wildcard character X (the system allows one or two Xs). For example, enter 5555 to define a single Call Park extension number of 5555 or enter 55XX to define a range of Call Park extension numbers from 5500 to 5599. Note You can create a maximum of 100 Call Park numbers with one call park range definition. Make sure that the call park numbers are unique. Note You cannot overlap call park numbers between Unified Communications Manager servers. Ensure that each Unified Communications Manager server has its own number range. Note The call park range is selected from the list of servers where the call originates. For example, if phoneA (registered to nodeA) calls phone B (registered to nodeB) and the phoneB user presses Park, phoneB requires a call park range in the CSS that resides on nodeA. In a multinode environment where phones and gateways communicate with various nodes and where calls that originate from any server may need to be parked, the phones require a CSS that contains call park ranges from all servers. Call Park Number/Range Provide a brief description of this call park number. The description can include up to 50 characters in any language, but it cannot include double-quotes (“), percentage sign (%), ampersand (&), or angle brackets (<>).

Call Park Interactions Interaction Feature CTI applications access call park functionality, including monitoring activity on call park DNs. To monitor a call park DN, add an application or end user that is associated with the CTI application to the Standard CTI Allow Call Park Monitoring user group. CTI Applications Music On Hold allows users to place calls on hold with music that a streaming source provides. The Music On Hold audio source for Call Park is selected by the setting of the Network Hold MOH Audio Source setting within the Phone Configuration window. If you do not choose an audio source within the device configuration, Cisco Unified CM uses the audio source that is defined in the device pool or the system default if the device pool does not specify an audio source ID. Music On Hold The route plan report displays the patterns and directory numbers that are configured in Unified Communications Manager. Use the route plan report to look for overlapping patterns and directory numbers before assigning a directory number to Call Park. Route Plan Report Assign the call park directory number or range to a partition to limit call park access to users on the basis of the device calling search space. Calling Search Space and Partitions Call Park supports Immediate Divert (iDivert or Divert softkey). For example, user A calls user B, and user B parks the call. User B retrieves the call and then decides to send the call to a voice-messaging mailbox by pressing the iDivert or Divert softkey. User A receives the voice mail greeting of user B. Immediate Divert • Barge with Call Park–The target phone (the phone that is being barged upon) controls the call. The barge initiator “piggybacks” on the target phone. The target phone includes most of the common features, even when the target is being barged; therefore, the barge initiator has no feature access. When the target parks a call, the barge initiator then must release its call (the barge). • cBarge with Call Park–The target and barge initiator act as peers. The cBarge feature uses a conference bridge, which causes it to function like a MeetMe conference. Both phones (target and barge initiator) have full access to their features. Barge We recommend that you do not configure both Directed Call Park and the Park softkey for Call Park, but the possibility exists to configure both. If you configure both, ensure that the call park and directed call park numbers do not overlap. Directed Call Park When a user parks a call across a QSIG intercluster trunk or a QSIG gateway trunk, the caller who has been parked (the parkee) does not see the To parked number message. The phone continues to display the original connected number. The call has been parked, and the user who parked the call can retrieve it. When the call is retrieved from the parked state, the call continues, but the caller who was parked does not see the newly connected number.

Call Park Restrictions Restriction Feature Unified Communications Manager can park only one call at each call park extension number. Call Park For shared line devices across nodes, the line registers to the node on which the device registers first. For example, if a device from subscriber2 registers first and the line is created in subscriber2 and the publisher node, the line belongs to subscriber2. Each node must be configured with the call park number. Shared Line To achieve failover or fallback, configure call park numbers on the publisher node and subscriber nodes. With this configuration, when the primary node is down, the line device association gets changed to the secondary node, and the secondary node call park number gets used. Backup If a directed call park (or call park) is initiated from a shared line and the call is not retrieved from any device, the parked call does not always get reverted to the recipient in the shared line (parker). Directed Call Park When a conference call is set up between both the shared line and the caller on park reversion or park reversion fails causing a two-party call (between the other shared line and caller). The reason is that, on park reversion, Unified Communications Manager extends the call to both devices sharing the line and tries to add either party in conference (party already in conference or party that hit the park). If the party attempts to add the party who is already in the conference first, then the park reversion fails. When park reversion fails, the shared line can still barge into the call as usual. Conference If any call park numbers are configured for Unified Communications Manager on a node that is being deleted in the Server Configuration window (System > Server), the node deletion fails. Before you can delete the node, you must delete the call park numbers in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. Delete Server Troubleshooting Call Park User Cannot Park Calls Problem User cannot park calls. When the user presses the Park softkey or feature button, the call does not get parked. Solution Ensure that a unique call park number is assigned to each Unified Communications Manager in the cluster.

The partition that is assigned to the call park number does not match the partition that is assigned to the phone directory number. For more information on partition, see the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Call Park Number is Not Displayed Long Enough Problem The call park number is not displayed long enough for the user. Solution Set the Call Park Display Timer to a longer duration. See Configure Clusterwide Call Park, on page 378 for more information about the Timer. Directed Call Park Overview Directed Call Park allows a user to transfer a call to an available user-selected directed call park number. Configured Directed Call Park numbers exist cluster-wide. You can configure phones that support the directed call park Busy Lamp Field (BLF) to monitor the busy or idle status of specific directed call park numbers. Users can also use the BLF to speed dial a directed call park number. Unified Communications Manager can park only one call at each directed call park number. To retrieve a parked call, a user must dial a configured retrieval prefix followed by the directed call park number at which the call is parked. Directed Call Park Prerequisites Make sure that the phones in your deployment support Directed Call Park. For a list of supported phones, run the Phone Feature List report from Cisco Unified Reporting, selecting Assisted Directed Call Park as the feature. For details, see Generate a Phone Feature List, on page 5.

Ensure that the user presses the Transfer softkey (or Transfer button if available) before dialing the directed call park number, and then presses the Transfer softkey (or Transfer button) again or goes on hook after dialing the directed call park number. Because directed call park is a transfer function, the directed call park number cannot be dialed alone. You can complete the transfer only by going on hook rather than pressing the Transfer softkey (or Transfer button) a second time if the Transfer On-hook Enabled service parameter is set to True. Note User Receives a Reorder Tone or Announcement User cannot park calls. After pressing the Transfer softkey (or Transfer button if available) and dialing the directed call park number, the user receives a reorder tone or announcement. Ensure that the dialed number is configured as a directed call park number. User Cannot Park a Call at a Number Within The Range After configuring a range of directed call park numbers, the user cannot park a call at a number within the range. Review the syntax for entering a range of directed call park numbers. If incorrect syntax is used, the system may appear to configure the range when it actually does not. Parked Calls Revert Too Quickly Parked calls revert too quickly. Set the Call Park Reversion Timer to a longer duration. Park Slot Unavailable User cannot park calls.

If you have a single phone that will be used by multiple workers, for example, you can configure extension mobility so that individual users can log in to the phone and access their settings without affecting settings on other user accounts. After a user logs in using extension mobility and if the extension mobility profile is already associated to the application user, then CTI application sends device-related information. CTI application can control a device the user is logged into (using that extension mobility profile) without having to have direct control of the device. Therefore, the recording with the device profile association to the application user should work though they have not associated the device directly. On authentication, if the login profile matches the login device (that is, the user has a user device profile that is configured for a Cisco IP Phone 7960 and logs in to a Cisco IP Phone 7960), Extension Mobility behaves the same way as it does with the older Unified CM versions: • The phone automatically reconfigures with the individual user device profile information. If the user has one user device profile, then the system uses this profile. If the user has more than one user device profile, the user can choose the user device profile that will be used from a list. • The user can access all the services that the user configured on the device profile. If that same user logs into a Cisco IP Phone model where the user does not have a configured user device profile, the login profile will not match the login device on authentication. In this scenario, the system loads the device profile default for that phone model onto the phone, and Extension Mobility works as described here: • The system copies all device-independent configuration (that is, user hold audio source, user locale, userid, speeddials, and directory number configuration except for the setting "line setting for this device") from the user device profile to the login device.

• The system uses the device profile default for that phone model for phone template and softkey template configuration and, if the phone can support addon modules, for the addon module. • If the phone model supports Cisco IP Phone Services and they are configured, the system copies the services from the user device profile. If the user device profile does not have Cisco IP Phone Services configured, the system uses the Cisco IP Phone Services that are configured in the device profile default for the login device that is accessed during login. If parameters exist for the subscriber service, the system copies the parameters from the device profile default and the parameters may not reflect the correct information. For example, the following scenarios occur when a user who has a user device profile that is configured for Cisco IP Phone Model 7960 logs in to a Cisco IP Phone Model 7905, and the device default profile is loaded on the phone. • The user can access the user's hold audio source, user locale, userid, speed-dials, and directory number configuration. The user cannot access his phone line setting; the system configured the phone line setting from the device profile default that is configured for the Cisco IP Phone 7905. • The user can access the phone template and the softkey template of the Cisco IP Phone 7905. • The user cannot access an addon module because Cisco IP Phone 7905 does not support it. • The user can access Cisco IP Phone Services if they are configured for the Cisco IP Phone 7905, but the parameters from the subscriber services reflect the device profile default, not the parameters that the user chose on the User Options window. Users log out of Cisco Extension Mobility by pressing the Services button and choosing logout. If users do not log out themselves, the system will automatically log them out if you configured the Service Parameters to do so, or the next user of the phone can log out the previous user. After logout, Unified CM sends the logout profile to the phone and restarts the phone.

Extension Mobility Service Parameters Table 32: Extension Mobility Service Parameters Description Service Parameter Select True to specify a maximum time for local logins. After this time, the system automatically logs out the device. False, which is the default setting, means that no maximum time for logins exists. To set an automatic logout, you must choose True for this service parameter and also specify a system maximum login time for the Intra-cluster Maximum Login Time service parameter. Cisco Unified Communications Manager then uses the automatic logout service for all logins. If the value of Enforce Intra-cluster Maximum Login Time is set to False and you specify a valid maximum login time for the Intra-cluster Maximum Login Time service parameter, then the value of Enforce Intra-cluster Maximum Login Time automatically changes to True. Enforce Intra-cluster Maximum Login Time This parameter sets the maximum time that a user can be locally logged in to a device, such as 8:00 (8 hours) or:30 (30 minutes). The system ignores this parameter and set the maximum login time to 0:00, if the Enforce Intra-cluster Maximum Login Time parameter is set to False. Valid values are between 0:00 and 168:00 in the format HHH:MM, where HHH represents the number of hours and MM represents the number of minutes. Note If you grant a user access to set their Extension Mobility maximum login time (configured via the Allow End User to set their Extension Mobility maximum login time check box in the User Profile Configuration) the user's configuration in the Self-Care Portal overrides the value of the Intra-cluster Maximum Login Time service parameter. Intra-cluster Maximum Login Time Specify the maximum number of login or logout operations that can occur simultaneously. This number prevents the Cisco Extension Mobility service from consuming excessive system resources. The default value of 5 is acceptable in most cases.

Description Service Parameter When users are logged in to one phone and then login to a second phone either in the same cluster or on a different cluster, users can view the login behavior on the second phone based on the Multiple Login Behavior setting defined on the Service Parameter Configuration page. Choose one of the following options from the drop–down list: • Multiple Logins Allowed—You can login to more than one device at a time. • Multiple Logins Not Allowed—You can be logged in to only one device. The login attempts to the second device fails and the phone displays the error code “25” (Multi-Login Not Allowed). You can login successfully, only when you have logged out from the first device. This is the default value. • Auto Logout—When you try to login to a second device (either Extension Mobility or Extension Mobility Cross Cluster), the Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically logs you out of the first device. This is a required field. Note Multiple login behavior is also applicable between two Extension Mobility Cross Cluster logins. Multiple Login Behavior Choose True to allow the user ID to contain alphanumeric characters. Choosing False allows the user ID to contain only numeric characters. Note The Alphanumeric User ID parameter applies systemwide. You can have a mix of alphanumeric and numeric user IDs. The system supports only user IDs that can be entered by using the alphanumeric keypad. The case-sensitive userid field requires the characters to be lowercase. Alphanumeric User ID When you choose False, the system does not remember the last user who logged in to the phone. Use this option when the user access the phone on a temporary basis only. Choose True to remember the last user that logged into the phone. Use this option when a phone has only one user. For example, Cisco Extension Mobility is used to enable the types of calls that are allowed from a phone. Individuals who are not logged in and who are using their office phone can make only internal or emergency calls. But after logging in using Cisco Extension Mobility, the user can make local, long-distance, and international calls. In this scenario, only this user regularly logs in to the phone. It makes sense to set the Cisco Extension Mobility to remember the last user ID that logged in.

Description Service Parameter Choose True to specify that the call logs are cleared during the Cisco Extension Mobility manual login and logout process. While a user is using the Cisco Extension Mobility service on an IP phone, all calls (placed, received, or missed) appear in a call log and can be retrieved and seen on the IP phone display. To ensure privacy, set the Clear Call Log service parameter to True. This ensures that the call logs are cleared when a user logs out and another user logs in. For extension mobility cross cluster (EMCC), the call log is always cleared when the user logs in or out of a phone. Note Call logs are cleared only during manual login/logout. If a Cisco Extension Mobility logout occurs automatically or any occurrence other than a manual logout, the call logs are not cleared. Clear Call Logs on Intra-cluster EM This parameter sets whether validation occurs on the IP address of the source that is requesting login or logout. If the parameter is set to True, the IP address from which a Cisco Extension Mobility log in or log out request occurs and is validated to ensure that it is trusted. Validation is first performed against the cache for the device that will log in or log out. If the IP address is found in the cache or in the list of trusted IP addresses or is a registered device, the device can log in or log out. If the IP address is not found, the log in or log out attempt is blocked. If the parameter is set to False, the Cisco Extension Mobility log in or log out request is not validated. Validation of IP addresses can affect the time that is required to log in or log out a device, but it offers additional security that prevents unauthorized log in or log out attempts. This function is recommended, especially when used with logins from separate trusted proxy servers for remote devices. Validate IP Address This parameter appears as a text box (the maximum length is 1024 characters). You can enter strings of trusted IP addresses or hostnames which are separated by semicolons, in the text box. IP address ranges and regular expressions are not supported. Trusted List of IPs If the parameter is True, the Cisco Extension Mobility log in and log out operations that use a web proxy are allowed. If the parameter is False, the Cisco Extension Mobility log in and log out requests coming from behind a proxy get rejected. The setting that you select takes effect only if the Validate IP Address parameter specifies true.

Description Service Parameter In this field, enter the size of the device cache that is maintained by Cisco Extension Mobility. The minimum value for this field is 1000 and the maximum is 20000. The default value is 10000. The value that you enter takes effect only if the Validate IP Address parameter is True. Extension Mobility Cache Size Cisco Extension Mobility Interactions Table 33: Cisco Extension Mobility Interactions Interaction Feature A manager who uses Cisco Extension Mobility can simultaneously use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant. The manager logs in to the Cisco Unified IP Phone by using Cisco Extension Mobility and then chooses the Cisco IP Manager Assistant service. When the Cisco IP Manager Assistant service starts, the manager can access assistants and all Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant features (such as call filtering and Do Not Disturb). Assistant When you configure BLF/speed dial buttons in a user device profile, a phone that supports Cisco Extension Mobility displays BLF presence status on the BLF/SpeedDial buttons after you log in to the device. When the extension mobility user logs out, a phone that supports Cisco Extension Mobility displays BLF presence status on the BLF/SpeedDial buttons for the logout profile that is configured. BLF Presence When you enable call display restrictions, Cisco Extension Mobility functions as usual: when a user is logged in to the device, the presentation or restriction of the call information depends on the user device profile that is associated with that user. When the user logs out, the presentation or restriction of the call information depends on the configuration that is defined for that phone type in the Phone Configuration window. To use call display restrictions with Cisco Extension Mobility, check the Ignore Presentation Indicators (internal calls only) check obx in both the Device Profile Configuration window and the Phone Configuration window. Call Display Restrictions An enhancement to call forward all calling search space (CSS) lets you upgrade to later releases of Cisco Unified Communications Manager without loss of functionality. The CFA CSS Activation Policy service parameter supports this enhancement. In the Service Parameter Configuration window, this parameter displays in the Clusterwide Parameters (Feature - Forward) section with two options: • With Configured CSS (default) • With Activating Device/Line CSS Call Forward All Calling Search Space Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 413 Receiving Calls Cisco Extension Mobility Interactions

Interaction Feature For extension mobility, the device profile settings include do not disturb (DND) incoming call alert and DND status. When a user logs in and enables DND, the DND incoming call alert and DND status settings are saved, and these settings are used when the user logs in again. Note When a user who is logged in to extension mobility modifies the DND incoming call alert or DND status settings, this action does not affect the actual device settings. Do Not Disturb Cisco Extension Mobility supports the intercom feature. To support intercom, Cisco Extension Mobility uses a default device that is configured for an intercom line. An intercom line is presented on only the default device. You can assign an intercom line to a device profile. When a user logs in to a device that is not the default device, the intercome line is not presented. The following additional considerations apply to intercom for Cisco Extension Mobility: • When Unified Communications Manager assigns an intercom line to a device and the default device value is empty, the current device is selected as the default device. • When AXL programatically assigns an intercom DN, you must update the intercom DN separately by using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to set the default device. • When you delete a device that is set as the intercom default device for an intercom line, the intercom default device is no longer set to the deleted device. Intercom Cisco Extension Mobility Supports IPv6. You can use phones with an IP addressing mode of IPv6 or dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6). Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) If you select On for the Always Use Prime Line parameter in the Device Profile or Default Device Profile Configuration window, a Cisco Extension Mobility user can use this feature after logging in to the device that supports Cisco Extension Mobility.

Cisco Extension Mobility Restrictions When database replication within the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster is not functioning per expectation, it impacts the extension mobility functionality. To improve resiliency, we recommend the following: • Configure the backup CCM service, TFTP service, and extension mobility service in an alternate data center. • Use a load balancer to send the extension mobility login request to the extension mobility service in different data centers in a round robin method such that the extension mobility service in another data center can handle the requests when the first is unreachable. • Use the backup extension mobility URL to log in when the primary URL fails. Note Table 34: Cisco Extension Mobility Restrictions Restriction Feature Cisco Extension Mobility maintains a cache of all logged-in user information for 2 minutes. If a request comes to extension mobility about a user who is represented in the cache, the user is validated with information from the cache. For example, if a user changes the password, logs out, and then logs back in within 2 minutes, both the old and new passwords are recognized. Cache When a Cisco Extension Mobility user logs out of a device, all call back services that are active for the Cisco Extension Mobility user are automatically canceled. Call Back The characters that display when a user logs in depend on the current locale of the phone. For example, if the phone is currently in the English locale (based on the Logout profile of the phone), the user can only enter English characters in the UserID. Character Display Cisco Extension Mobility does not support the hold reversion feature. Hold Reversion Cisco Extension Mobility requires a physical Cisco Unified IP Phone for login. Users of office phones that are configured with Cisco Extension Mobility cannot remotely log in to their phones. IP Phones If the user locale that is associated with the user or profile is not the same as the locale or device, after a successful login, the phone will restart and then reset. This behavior occurs because the phone configuration file is rebuilt. Addon-module mismatches between profile and device can cause the same behavior. Locale If Cisco Extension Mobility is stopped or restarted, the system does not automatically log out users who are already logged in after the logout interval expires. Those phones automatically log out users only once a day. You can manually log out these users from either the phones or from Cisco Unified CM Administration. Log Out Cisco Extension Mobility and join across line services are disabled on protected phones.

Phone Resets Problem After users log in or log out, their phones reset instead of restarting. Possible Cause Locale change is the probable cause of the reset. Solution No action is required. If the user locale that is associated with the logged-in user or profile is not the same as the locale or device, after a successful login the phone will restart and then reset. This pattern occurs because the phone configuration file is rebuilt. Phone Services Unavailable After Login Problem After logging in, the user finds that the phone services are not available. Possible Cause This problem occurs because the user profile had no services associated with it when it was loaded on the phone. Solution • Ensure that the user profile includes the Cisco Extension Mobility service. • Change the configuration of the phone where the user is logged in to include Cisco Extension Mobility.

Description EMCC Parameter Specify the number of minutes that elapse between system checks for expired EMCC devices. An expired EMCC device is a device that logged in to EMCC from a remote cluster, but that, because of a WAN failure or a connectivity issue, the phone logged out of the visiting cluster. When connectivity was restored, the device logged back into the visiting cluster. During this maintenance job, the Cisco Extension Mobility service checks the Unified Communications Manager database for any expired EMCC devices and automatically logs them out. The default value is 1440 minutes. Valid values range from 10 minutes to 1440 minutes. Default Interval for Expired EMCC Device Maintenance Choose whether you want all services on a new remote cluster to be automatically enabled when you add a new cluster. Valid values are True (enable all services on the remote cluster automatically) or False (manually enable the services on the remote cluster via the Remote Cluster Configuration window in Unified Communications Manager). You can enable the services manually so that you have time to configure the EMCC feature completely before enabling the remote services. The default value is False. Enable All Remote Cluster Services When Adding A New Remote Cluster Choose the calling search space (CSS) that the PSTN Access SIP trunk for processing EMCC calls uses. The PSTN Access SIP trunk is the SIP trunk that you configured for PSTN access in the Intercluster Service Profile window. Calls over this trunk are intended for and are routed to only the local PSTN that is co-located with the EMCC logged-in phone that initiates the call. Valid values are the following: • Use Trunk CSS (PSTN calls use the local route group, which can prove useful for properly routing emergency service calls) • Use phone's original device CSS (PSTN calls are routed using the configured calling search space on the remote phone, that is, the CSS that is used when the phone is not logged into EMCC). The default value is Use trunk CSS. CSS for PSTN Access SIP Trunk Choose the geolocation filter that you have configured for use EMCC. Based on the information in the geolocation that associates with a phone that is logged in through Extension Mobility from another cluster, as well as the selected EMCC geolocation filter, Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the phone into a roaming device pool. Cisco Unified Communications Manager determines which roaming device pool to use by evaluating which device pool best matches the phone geolocation information after the EMCC geolocation filter is applied.

Description EMCC Parameter This parameter specifies the maximum audio bit rate for all EMCC calls, regardless of the region associated with the other party. The default value is 8 kbps (G.729). Note All participating EMCC clusters must specify the same value for the EMCC region max audio bit rate. EMCC Region Max Audio Bit Rate This parameter specifies the maximum video call bit rate for all EMCC video calls, regardless of the maximum video call bit rate of the region associated with the other party. The default value is 384. Valid values range from 0 to 8128. Note All participating EMCC clusters must specify the same value for the EMCC region max video call bit rate. EMCC Region Max Video Call Bit Rate (Includes Audio) This parameter specifies the link loss type between any EMCC phone and devices in any remote cluster. Note To allow two-way audio on EMCC calls, all participating EMCC clusters must use the same EMCC region link loss type. Based on the option that you choose, Cisco Unified Communications Manager attempts to use the optimal audio codec for the EMCC call while observing the configured EMCC region max audio bit rate. Valid values are the following: • Lossy—A link where some packet loss can or may occur, for example, DSL. • Low Loss—A link where low packet loss occurs, for example, T1. When you set this parameter to Lossy, Cisco Unified Communications Manager chooses the optimal codec within the limit that is set by the EMCC Region Max Audio Bit Rate, based on audio quality. Some packet loss will occur. When this parameter is set to Low Loss, Cisco Unified Communications Manager chooses the optimal codec within the limit that is set by the EMCC Region Max Audio Bit Rate, based on audio quality. Little or no packet loss will occur. The only difference in the audio codec preference ordering between the low loss and lossy options is that G.722 is preferred over Internet Speech Audio Codec (iSAC) when the link loss type is set as low loss, whereas iSAC is preferred over G.722 when the link loss type is set as lossy. The default value is Low Loss.

Description EMCC Parameter Specify the number of seconds that Unified Communications Manager waits between sending or receiving KeepAlive messages or acknowledgments between two clusters over EMCC RSVP SIP trunks. An EMCC RSVP SIP trunk is a SIP trunk that has Cisco Extension Mobility Cross Cluster configured as the Trunk Service Type and that has been selected as the SIP Trunk for RSVP Agent in the Intercluster Service Profile window. When two of these intervals elapse without receipt of a KeepAlive message or an acknowledgment, Unified Communications Manager releases the RSVP resources with the remote cluster. The default value is 15 seconds. Valid values range from 1second to 600 seconds. RSVP SIP Trunk KeepAlive Timer Choose the default server name or IP address of the primary node in this local cluster that has the Cisco Extension Mobility service activated. The remote cluster accesses this node to get information about this local cluster. Default Server For Remote Cluster Update Choose the default server name or IP address of the secondary node in this local cluster that has the Cisco Extension Mobility service activated. The remote cluster accesses this node when the primary node is down to retrieve information about this local cluster. Backup Server for Remote Cluster Update Specify an interval, in minutes, during which the Cisco Extension Mobility service on the local node collects information about the remote EMCC cluster. Collected information includes such details as the remote cluster Unified Communications Manager version and service information. The default value is 30. Valid values range from 15 minutes to 10,080 minutes. Remote Cluster Update Interval Configure Intercluster SIP Trunk for Extension Mobility Cross Cluster Configure trunks to process inbound or outbound traffic for intercluster PSTN access and RSVP agent services. You can configure one trunk for both PSTN access and RSVP agent services or one trunk for each service. You do not need more than two SIP trunks for extension mobility cross cluster. Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Device > Trunk. Step 2 Click Add New. Step 3 From the Trunk Type drop-down list, choose SIP Trunk. Step 4 From the Trunk Service Type drop-down list, choose Extension Mobility Cross Clusters. Step 5 Click Next. Step 6 Configure the fields in the Trunk Configuration window.

Extension Mobility Cross Cluster Interactions Table 37: Extension Mobility Cross Cluster Interactions Interaction Feature The default maximum audio bit-rate for EMCC login device is set to 8 kbps (G.729). Audio • The home cluster is unaware of visiting cluster locations and regions. • The system cannot apply Cisco Unified Communications Manager locations and regions across the cluster boundaries. • RSVP agent-based CAC uses RSVP agents in the visiting cluster. Call Admission Control (CAC) EMCC supports call forwarding. Call Forwarding User authentication takes place across clusters. Cisco Extension Mobility login and logout Examples include RSVP agent, TRP, music on mold (MOH), MTP, transcoder, and conference bridge. Media resources are local to the visiting phone (other than RSVP agents). Media resources for the visiting phone • E911 calls are routed to the local gateways of the PSTN. • Local calls are routed to the local gateways of the PSTN. • Calls terminating to local route groups route to local gateways in the visiting cluster. PSTN access for the visiting phone Example restriction: Intercom configuration specifies configuration to a static device, so EMCC does not support the intercom feature. Other call features and services • Cross-cluster security is provided by default. • Cisco Unified IP Phones with secure and nonsecure phone security profiles are supported.

Extension Mobility Cross Cluster Restrictions Table 38: Extension Mobility Cross Cluster Restrictions Description Restriction • EMCC does not support the intercom feature, because intercom configuration requires a static device. • EMCC does not support Location CAC, but supports RSVP-based CAC. • Phones with IPv6 only addressing mode do not support EMCC. You can use phones that either use IPv4 or dual stack addressing modes. Unsupported Features For EMCC to function properly, you cannot configure the same phone (device name) in two clusters. Otherwise, login fails due to the duplicate device error (37). Therefore, for cluster that is deployed with EMCC you should disable Autoregistration on all Unified Communication Manager nodes to prevent a new device being created in the home cluster after EMCC logout. EMCC Device Cannot Be Provisioned in More Than One Cluster Cisco Unified Communications Manager can support a MaxPhones value of 60,000. Include EMCC in the total number of devices that are supported in the cluster by using the following calculation: Phones + (2 x EMCC devices) = MaxPhones Note EMCC login does not affect the number of licenses that are used in the home cluster. Number of EMCC Devices • If the home cluster administrator disables EMCC for a user while the user is logged in with EMCC, the system does not automatically log this user out. Instead, the system does not allow future EMCC attempts by this user. The current EMCC session continues until the user logs out. • In the visiting cluster, the Phone Configuration window has a Log Out button for extension mobility. This button is also used by the visiting cluster administrator to log out an EMCC phone. Because the EMCC phone is not currently registered with the visiting Cisco Unified Communications Manager, this operation is like a database cleanup in the visiting cluster. The EMCC phone remains registered with the home Cisco Unified Communications Manager until the phone returns to the visiting cluster because of a reset or a logout from the home cluster.

Description Restriction The extension mobility service in participating clusters performs a periodic remote cluster update. The Remote Cluster Update Interval feature parameter controls the update interval. The default interval is 30 minutes. If the extension mobility service on clusterA does not receive a reply from a remote cluster (such as clusterB) for this update, the Remote Cluster window for clusterA shows that the Remote Activated service is set to False for clusterB. In this case, the visiting cluster does not receive any response from the home cluster and sets the Remote Activated values for the home cluster to False. During this interval, a visiting phone may not be able to log in by using EMCC. The visiting phone receives the “Login is unavailable” error message. At this point, a login attempt to EMCC from a visiting phone can fail; the phone displays the “Login is unavailable” error message. This error occurs because the visiting cluster has not yet detected the change of the home cluster from out-of-service to in-service. Remote cluster status change is based on the value of the Remote Cluster Update Interval EMCC feature parameter and on when the visiting extension mobility service performed the last query or update. You can select Update Remote Cluster Now in the Remote Cluster Service Configuration window (Advanced Features > EMCC > EMCC Remote Cluster) to change Remote Activate values to True, which also allows EMCC logins. Otherwise, after the next periodic update cycle, EMCC logins by visiting phones will return to normal. Visiting Device Login Limitations EMCC Login Result for Different Cluster Versions with loginType The following table shows the login result of the Extension Mobility Cross Cluster feature for different cluster versions when the loginType parameter is used in the service URL.

C H A P T E R 34 Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters To deploy Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters, you must be running a minimum release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.0(1)SU1. Note • Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters Overview, on page 453 • System Requirements for Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters, on page 454 • Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters Login, on page 454 • ILS Interaction, on page 457 • Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters Task Flow, on page 457 • Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters Interactions and Restrictions, on page 462 • Different Types of Extension Mobility, on page 462 • Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters Troubleshooting, on page 463 Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters Overview Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters gives users the ability to roam across multiple cluster and make or receive calls even when the user's home cluster is down. This feature leverages the Intercluster Lookup Service (ILS) to replicate Extension Mobility users' directory numbers across all the clusters. When a user logs in to a roaming cluster, their phone registers to the roaming cluster using the directory number. Unlike Extension Mobility Cross Cluster (EMCC), where the phone from the visiting cluster registers to the home cluster, the roaming feature allows the user to maintain their registration in whichever cluster they are visiting. Configuration Overview To deploy this feature, you must do the following: • Set up an ILS network—ILS is used to synchronize directory number across the clusters. For details on configuring ILS, see the Configure Intercluster Lookup Service chapter in the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. • Set up a uniform dial plan—you require a uniform dial plan across the ILS network. To set up a dial plan, see Configure the Dial Plan chapter in the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

• Device profile and user information must be synced in all the clusters. • Configure Extension Mobility. • Configure Roaming access to your Extension Mobility users. System Requirements for Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters The following system requirements exist for Cisco Unified Communications Manager: • Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 12.0(1)SU1 or higher. • Cisco Extension Mobility service must be running. • Intercluster Lookup Service must be running. Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters Login Login Terminology The following figure depicts the home cluster versus a roaming cluster in Extension Mobility Roaming across Cluster. Figure 7: Home Cluster vs. Roaming Cluster Home Cluster Home cluster is a cluster, where the user configuration such as User Device profile, Dial Plans reside here. Roaming Cluster Roaming cluster is a cluster, where users can do the Extension Mobility login to any Extension Mobility capable phone just like in their home cluster. Superuser A superuser is a user, who is associated to the Standard EM Roaming Across Clusters Super Users access control group. This user has a privilege to do the Extension Mobility login from a roaming cluster and can make or receive calls.

Superuser information must be shared across all the clusters irrespective of the cluster in which the user is logging-in. Note Login Process Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the Extension Mobility login for a superuser created across multiple clusters. Extension Mobility login, in the roaming cluster allows superuser to access their phone settings, such as line appearances, services, dial plans. A superuser can make or receive calls from the roaming cluster, in the same way as they do in the home cluster. Figure 8: Call Flow When a User Is in Home Cluster In the preceding figure, let us assume Bob's DN as 1000-001, Alice's DN as 2000-001 and Kally's DN as 3000-001 registered with Cluster 1, 2 and 3 respectively. When Kally dials Bob's DN 1000-001, Cluster 3 routes the call to Cluster 1 and Bob and Kally are connected.

Figure 9: Call Flow When User Is in Roaming Cluster Let us assume Bob's home cluster is down and Bob is configured as superuser who can roam across the clusters. When Bob moves to Cluster 2 and does Extension Mobility Login, hosting phone gets re-registered with Bob's settings. Once the login is successful, all other clusters are updated with Bob's new location. Now when Kally dials Bob's DN 1000-01, Cluster 3 routes the call to Cluster 2 and Bob and Kally are connected. Similarly, Bob can call Kally by dialing DN 3000-001. • If a superuser did the Extension Mobility login to another cluster, user will automatically log out from the home cluster. If the cluster is down, it waits until the cluster is up to log out from the user's previous login. • Extension Mobility Roaming Across Clusters supports the multi login behavior. Hence, superuser can login from multiple devices within the same cluster but not across the clusters.

ILS Interaction In Cisco Unified CM Administration, you can configure ILS on a pair of clusters and then join those clusters to form an ILS network. Once you have established the ILS network, you can join additional clusters to the network without having to configure the connections between each cluster. Whenever Extension Mobility login or logout occurs, ILS sync starts to update the available information to other clusters. Configuring user as superuser automatically initiates the ILS sync irrespective of Directory Number configuration for ILS. Note For more information, see the Configure Intercluster Lookup Service chapter in the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/ unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/ products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html.

Step 6 Reset the phone by performing the following steps: a) Click Reset. The Reset Device window displays. b) Click Reset. Hold Reversion Interactions Table 46: Hold Reversion Feature Interactions Interactions Feature MOH is supported on a reverted call if MOH is configured for a normal held call. Music on Hold If hold reversion is invoked and the held party presses the Park softkey, the holding party still receives hold reversion alerts and can retrieve the call. When the holding party retrieves the call, the holding party receives MOH, if configured. If the held party parks before the hold duration exceeds the configured time limit, the system suppresses all hold reversion alerts until the call is picked up or redirected. Call Park When a multilevel precedence and preemption (MLPP) call is put on hold and reverts, the MLPP call loses its preemption status, and the reverted call gets treated as a routine call. After the call reverts, the system does not play a preemption ring. If a high precedence call becomes a reverted call, the system does not play a precedence tone. MLPP CTI applications can access hold reversion functionality when the feature is enabled for a line or the system. Cisco-provided applications such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant and attendant console provide hold reversion functionality using the CTI interface. When hold reversion gets invoked, the CTI port receives event notification instead of the audible tone presented on Cisco Unified IP Phones. CTI ports and route points receive the event notification once only, whereas Cisco Unified IP Phones receive alerts at regular intervals. See the following API documents for information about CTI requirements and interactions with hold reversion: • Cisco Unified Communications JTAPI Developer Guide • Cisco Unified Communications TAPI Developer Guide CTI Applications SCCP phones support a minimum Hold Reversion Notification Interval (HRNI) of 5 seconds, whereas SIP phones support a minimum of 10 seconds. SCCP phones set for the minimum HRNI of 5 seconds may experience a Hold Reversion Notification ring delay of 10 seconds when handling calls involving SIP phones.

Interactions Feature If a Cisco Unified IP Phone that supports hold reversion shares a line with a phone device that does not support hold reversion, the hold reversion configuration settings display only for the line on the supporting device. If a shared line device disables the feature, hold reversion gets disabled on all other devices that share the line. Shared Lines If the ring settings that are configured for the phone specify Disabled, the phone does not ring, flash, or beep for the hold reversion feature. Ring Settings Hold Reversion Restrictions Restriction Feature Cisco Extension Mobility and Cisco Web Dialer features do not support the hold reversion feature. Cisco Extension Mobility and Cisco Web Dialer This feature does not support SCCP analog phone types, such as ATA 186, DPA-7610, and DPA-7630. Only certain on-net phone devices that are running SCCP on a node can invoke the hold reversion feature. SCCP phones If a directory number is associated to a phone that does not support hold reversion, the feature settings do not display for that directory number in the Directory Number Configuration window. Directory numbers If a Cisco Unified IP Phone that supports hold reversion shares a line with a phone device that does not support hold reversion, the hold reversion configuration settings display only for the line on the supporting device. If a shared-line device disables this feature, hold reversion gets disabled on all other devices that share this line. Shared lines Hold reversion ring uses the ring settings that Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration defines for that user (disable, flash only, ring once, ring, beep only) except that flash gets converted to flash once, and ring gets converted to ring once. Note When an IP Phone call is on normal hold, the ring settings (Phone Idle) from the Call Manager is applied.

Restriction Feature To enable this feature with CTI applications, ensure that the CTI application is certified to work with this feature and this release. Otherwise, the CTI application may fail because the hold reversion feature may affect existing CTI applications. This feature gets disabled by default. See the following API documents for information about CTI requirements: • Cisco Unified TAPI Developers Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager • Cisco Unified JTAPI Developers Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager CTI Applications You cannot configure hold reversion settings for DNs that are associated with phones that do not support this feature. Only Cisco Unified IP Phones that support the hold reversion feature display the hold reversion timer settings in the Directory Number Configuration window.

If the second number is busy, the system dials the next number, and so on. The phone users can log in to or log out of the hunt groups by using the HLog softkey or the Hunt Group line button on the IP phone. The phone provides a visual status of the login state, so that the user can determine whether they are logged in to one or more of their line groups. The Hunt Group feature provides the following functions: • The HLog softkey on the IP phone allows the user to toggle between login and logout of phone. • A hunt group allows a caller to automatically find an available line from amongst a group of extensions. • The Hunt Group Log Off feature allows phone users to prevent their phones from receiving incoming calls that get routed to directory numbers. Regardless of the phone status, the phone rings normally for incoming calls that are not calls to one or more line groups associated with the phone. The directory numbers (DNs) belong to line groups that are associated with the phone. Note • System administrators can log in or log out the users from the phones that are automatically logged into hunt groups. • The HLog softkey allows a phone user to log a phone out of all line groups to which the phone directory numbers belong.

a logged-out user that there is an incoming call to a hunt list to which the line is a member, but the call will not ring at the phone of that line group member because of the logged-out status. To configure the Hunt Group Logoff Notification service parameter, perform the following steps. Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose System > Service Parameters. Step 2 From the Server drop-down list, choose the server that is running the Cisco CallManager service. Step 3 From the Service drop-down list, choose Cisco CallManager. The Service Parameter Configuration window appears. Step 4 In the Clusterwide Parameters (Device - Phone) section, configure values for the following Hunt Group Logoff Notification service parameter: Enter a name for the ringtone file that Cisco IP Phones play when a member of a line group (hunt group) has logged out. The default value for this service parameter is None, which indicates no ringtone. You can enter a maximum of 255 characters. Step 5 Click Save. The window refreshes, and Cisco Unified Communications Manager updates the service parameter with your changes. Hunt Group Interactions Interaction Feature If a phone is logged out of a line group and an extension on the phone is not shared, the line group does not ring that directory number (DN) in the line group. When the line group would normally offer the call to the DN, call processing skips the DN and acts as if the DN does not belong to the line group. Non-shared-line Directory Number Because the Log Out of Hunt Group feature is device-based, when a user logs a phone out, the feature affects only the logged-out phone. Calls to a line group that contains a shared-line directory number behave as follows: • The DN does not ring if all phones that share that DN are logged out. • The DN does ring if one or more phones that share the DN are logged in. • The audible ring on a phone that is logged out is turned off by default. Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides a system parameter that can be set, so that a different ring tone plays when a call comes in to a logged-out hunt group member.

Hunt Group Restrictions Description Restriction When the user enables the Hunt Group Log Off feature by pressing the HLog softkey, the phone gets logged out from all associated line groups. This is because Hunt Group Log Off is a device-based feature. If a phone has DNs that belong to multiple line groups, pressing the HLog softkey logs the phone out of all associated line groups. Multiple Line Groups • When a phone that is running SIP (7906, 7911, 7941, 7961, ) is logged in to hunt groups and Call Forward All is activated, the call gets presented to the phone that is running SIP. • When 7940 and 7960 phones that are running SIP are logged in to hunt groups and Call Forward All is activated, the phones get skipped and the next phone in the line group rings. • 7940 and 7960 phones that are running SIP and third-party phones that are running SIP can be logged in to or logged out of hunt groups by using the Phone Configuration window, but no softkey support exists. • 7940 and 7960 phones that are running SIP and third-party phones that are running SIP do not show “Logged out of hunt groups” on the status line. • 7940 and 7960 phones that are running SIP and third-party phones that are running SIP do not play the Hunt Group Logoff Notification tone regardless of whether the tone is configured. 7940, 7960, and third-party SIP phones Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 482 Receiving Calls Hunt Group Restrictions

Users can report these calls by requesting that Cisco Unified Communications Manager identify and register the source of the incoming call in the network. When the MCID feature is configured, the following actions take place: 1. The user receives a threatening call and presses Malicious call (or enters the feature code *39 if using a POTS phone that is connected to an SCCP gateway). 2. Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends the user a confirmation tone and a text message, if the phone has a display, to acknowledge receiving the MCID notification. 3. Cisco Unified Communications Manager updates the call details record (CDR) for the call with an indication that the call is registered as a malicious call. 4. Cisco Unified Communications Manager generates the alarm and local syslogs entry that contains the event information. 5. Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends an MCID invocation through the facility message to the connected network. The facility information element (IE) encodes the MCID invocation. 6. After receiving this notification, the PSTN or other connected network can take actions, such as providing legal authorities with the call information.

C H A P T E R 38 Call Transfer • Call Transfer Overview, on page 493 • Call Transfer Configuration Task Flow, on page 494 • Call Transfer Interactions, on page 504 • Call Transfer Restrictions, on page 505 Call Transfer Overview The transfer feature allows you to redirect a connected call from your phone to another number. After call transfer, your call is disconnected and the transferred call is established as a new call connection. Following are the different types of call transfers: • Consult Transfer and Blind Transfer—In Consult Transfer, a transferring phone user can redirect the caller to a different target address, after consulting with the target phone user that answers the call. That is, the transferring phone user will stay on the call until the target phone user answers the call. In Blind Transfer, the transferring phone user connects the caller to a destination line before the target of the transfer answers the call. Most phones use hard keys or softkeys for Transfer. Both Consult Transfer and Blind Transfer do not require separate configuration. The difference between the two types of transfer depends on when the transferring party presses the Transfer button a second time. For a consult transfer, the transferring party presses the Transfer button after the target answers, while for a Blind Transfer, the transferring party presses the Transfer button before the target answers. For SCCP-initiated blind transfers, Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides call progress indications in the form of ring-back to the transferred user. • Transfer On-Hook—In this type of call transfer, the user presses the Transfer softkey, dials the number to which the call will be transferred, and then presses the Transfer softkey again, or simply goes on-hook to complete the transfer operation. You must set the Transfer On-Hook service parameter to True. This service parameter determines whether a call transfer is completed as a result of the user going on-hook after initiating a transfer operation. Both Consult Transfer and Blind Transfer use the Transfer On-Hook option. • Direct Transfer—This type of transfer allows a user to join two established calls (the two calls can either be on hold or in the connected state) into one call and then drop the initiator from the transfer. Direct Transfer does not initiate a consultation call and does not put the active call on hold. The user uses the DirTrfr softkey to join any two established calls and remove the initiator.

Call Transfer Interactions Interaction Feature The logical partitioning policy check is performed between the geolocation identifier of the device that is acting as a transferred party and the geolocation identifier of the device that is acting as a transferred destination. Logical partitioning handling takes place in the following circumstances: • When a phone user uses Transfer softkey to transfer the call, the second press of the softkey invokes and processes the Call Transfer feature. • When other transfer mechanisms, such as Direct Transfer, On-Hook Transfer, Hook Flash Transfer, and CTI-application-initiated Transfer results in invoking the Call Transfer feature. • When the transferred and the transferred destination specifies a PSTN participant. • When Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the geolocation identifier information that associates with the transferred and transferred destination device to perform logical partitioning policy checking. • Before splitting of the primary and secondary calls, and before joining. Logical partitioning handles a denied call as follows: • Sends External Transfer Restricted message to the VoIP phone. • Normal Transfer—For a phone that is running SCCP, the primary call remains on hold, and the consultation call remains active. For a phone that is running SIP, both primary and consultation calls remain on hold and must be resumed manually after the failure. • On-Hook, Hook-Flash and Analog-Phone-Initiated Transfer—Both the primary and secondary calls are cleared by using the cause code=63 “Service or option not available” with a reorder tone from Cisco Unified Communications Manager. • The Number of Transfer Failures perfmon counter is incremented.

Interaction Feature When a switch initiates a call transfer between two segments that have the same precedence level, the segments maintain the precedence level upon transfer. When a call transfer is made between call segments that are at different precedence levels, the switch that initiates the transfer marks the connection at the segment that has the higher precedence level. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports this requirement by upgrading the precedence level of a call leg that is involved in a Call Transfer operation. For example, party A calls party B with Priority precedence level. Party B then initiates a transfer to party C and dials the Flash precedence digits when dialing. When the transfer is complete, the precedence level of party A gets upgraded from Priority to Flash. The Call Transfer feature is enabled automatically when MLPP is enabled, and the phones support the Transfer softkey. Note The precedence level upgrade does not work over a trunk device such as an intercluster trunk (ICT) or a PRI trunk. Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) Call Transfer Restrictions Restriction Feature Logical partitioning handling does not take place when both the transferred and the transferred destination devices are VoIP phones. Logical partitioning handling does not take place when geolocation or a geolocation filter is not associated with any device.

By setting the devices as OffNet, you can restrict the transferring of an external call to an external device and thus help prevent toll fraud. If you try to transfer a call on an OffNet gateway or trunk when the service parameter Block OffNet to OffNet Transfer is set to True, a message displays on the user phone to indicate that the call cannot be transferred. This chapter uses the following terms: Description Term A device that is configured as OnNet and considered to be internal to the network. OnNet Device A device that is considered as OffNet and, when routed, is considered to be external to the network. OffNet Device The location of the device, which is considered as OnNet or OffNet, with respect to the network. Network Location The device that gets transferred. The system considers this device as OnNet or OffNet. Originating End The device that receives the transferred call. The system considers this device as OnNet or OffNet. Terminating End A call for which only gateways and trunks call classification settings get used to classify it as OnNet or OffNet. Route Pattern call classification settings do not apply.

Remotely active calls for a line are the active (connected) calls that are made to or from another device that shares a directory number with the line. If you configure party entrance tone, a tone plays on the phone when a basic call changes to a barged call or cbarged call. In addition, a different tone plays when a party leaves the multiparty call. Phones support Barge in the following conference modes: • Built-in conference bridge at the phone that is barged—This mode uses the Barge softkey. Most Cisco Unified IP Phones include the built-in conference bridge capability. • Shared conference bridge—This mode uses the cBarge softkey. By pressing the Barge or cBarge softkey in the remote-in-use call state, the user is added to the call with all parties, and all parties receive a barge beep tone (if configured). If Barge fails, the original call remains active. If no conference bridge is available (built-in or shared), the barge request gets rejected, and a message displays on the Barge initiator device. When network or Unified Communications Manager failure occurs, the Barge call is preserved. To display the softkey option for both Barge and cBarge, disable the Privacy option in Unified Communications Manager user interface for those devices that have shared line appearances. Note For a list of Cisco Unified IP Phones that support Barge, log in to Cisco Unified Reporting and run the Unified CM Phone Feature List report. Make sure to select Built In Bridge as the feature. For details, see Generate a Phone Feature List, on page 5. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 517

Single-Button Barge and Single-Button cBarge The Single-Button Barge and Single-Button cBarge features allow a user to press the shared-line button of the remotely active call, to be added to the call. All parties receive a barge beep tone (if configured). If barge fails, the original call remains active. Phones support Single-Button Barge and Single-Button cBarge in two conference modes: • Built-in conference bridge at the phone that is barged—This mode uses the Single-Button Barge feature. • Shared conference bridge—This mode uses the Single-Button cBarge feature. By pressing the shared-line button of the remote-in-use call, the user is added to the call with all parties, and all parties receive a barge beep tone (if configured). If barge fails, the original call remains active. If no conference bridge is available (built-in or shared), the barge request gets rejected, and a message is displayed at the Barge initiator device. Built-In Conference When the user presses the Barge softkey or a shared-line button, a Barge call is set up by using the built-in conference bridge, if available. A built-in conference bridge is advantageous because neither a media interruption nor display changes to the original call occur when the Barge is being set up. Shared Conference When the user presses the cBarge softkey, or a shared-line button, a barge call is set up by using the shared conference bridge, if available. The original call is split and then joined at the conference bridge, which causes a brief media interruption. The call information for all parties changes to “Barge”. The barged call becomes a conference call with the barge target device as the conference controller. It can add more parties to the conference or can drop any party. When any party releases the call, the remaining two parties experience a brief interruption and then get reconnected as a point-to-point call, which releases the shared conference resource. Built-In and Shared Conference Differences This table describes the differences between barge with built-in conference bridge and shared conference. Barge with Shared Conference Barge with Built-In Conference Feature No Yes The standard softkey template includes the Barge/cBarge softkey. Note If the single button Barge/cBarge feature is enabled, the softkey is not used. Yes No A media break occurs during barge setup. Yes Yes If configured, a user receives a barge setup tone.

Barge Interactions Interaction Feature Cisco recommends that you assign either the Barge or cBarge softkey to a softkey template. By having only one of these softkeys for each device, you can prevent confusion for users and avoid potential performance issues. Note You can enable Single-Button Barge or Single-Button cBarge for a device, but not both. cBarge When the target parks the call, the barge initiator gets released (if using the built-in bridge), or the barge initiator and the other party remain connected (if using the shared conference). Call Park When the target joins the call with another call, the barge initiator gets released (if using the built-in bridge), or the barge initiator and the other party remain connected (if using the shared conference). Join A Barge, cBarge, or Single-Button Barge initiator can barge into a call through a shared line that is configured for Barge and Private Line Automatic Ringdown (PLAR). The initiator can barge into the call if the barge target uses the preconfigured number that is associated with the PLAR line while on the call. Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not send the barge invocation to the PLAR line before connecting the barge call, so the barge occurs regardless of the state of the PLAR destination. To make Barge, cBarge, or Single-Button Barge function with PLAR, you must configure Barge, cBarge, or Single-Button Barge. In addition, you must configure the PLAR destination, a directory number that is used specifically for PLAR.

Barge Restrictions Description Restriction The Barge initiator cannot conference in additional callers. Additional callers CTI does not support Barge through APIs that TAPI and JTAPI applications invoke. CTI generates events for Barge when it is invoked manually from an IP phone by using the Barge or cBarge softkey. Computer Telephony Interface (CTI) The original call requires G.711 codec. If G.711 is not available, use cBarge instead. G.711 codec You can assign a softkey template that contains the Barge softkey to any IP phone that uses softkeys; however, some IP phones do not support the Barge feature. Cisco Unified IP Phones If you configure encryption for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960 and 7940, those encrypted devices cannot accept a barge request when they are participating in an encrypted call. When the call is encrypted, the barge attempt fails. A tone plays on the phone to indicate that the Barge failed.

A watcher can monitor the status of the user or BLF presence entity (also called presentity) by using the following options: • BLF and SpeedDial buttons • Missed call, placed call, or received call lists in the directories window • Shared directories, such as the corporate directory Call lists and directories display the BLF status for existing entries. When you configure BLF and SpeedDial buttons, the BLF presence entity appears as a speed dial on the device of the watcher. To view the status of a BLF presence entity, watchers send BLF presence requests to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. After administrators configure BLF presence features, real-time status icons appear on the watcher device to indicate whether the BLF presence entity is on the phone, is not on the phone, the status is unknown, and so on. Extension mobility users can use BLF presence features on phones with extension mobility support. BLF presence group authorization ensures that only authorized watchers can access the BLF presence status for a destination. Because the administrator ensures that the watcher is authorized to monitor the destination when a BLF or Speed Dial is configured, BLF presence group authorization does not apply to BLF or Speed Dials.

When digest authentication is used with application-level authorization, Unified CM also authenticates the credentials of the application that is sending the BLF presence requests. When there is a BLF presence request for a device that exists outside of the cluster, Unified Communications Manager queries the external device through the SIP trunk. If the watcher has permission to monitor the external device, the SIP trunk sends the BLF presence request to the external device, and returns BLF presence status to the watcher. To use BLF presence group authorization with incoming presence requests on a SIP trunk, configure a presence group for the trunk, such as External_Presence_Serv_Group1, and configure the appropriate permissions to other groups inside the cluster.

Description Restriction Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration rejects BLF presence requests to a directory number that is associated with a hunt pilot. BLF Presence Requests The BLF on call list feature is not supported on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940 and Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960. BLF on Call List Feature The administrator ensures that the watcher is authorized to monitor the destination when configuring a BLF and SpeedDial. BLF presence group authorization does not apply to BLF and SpeedDials. Note BLF presence group authorization does not apply to any directory number or SIP URI that is configured as a BLF and Speed Dial that appears in a call list for phones that are running SIP. If there is an overlapping DN, where there is the same extension in different partitions, the presence notifications are selected based on the order of the partitions configured within the SUBSCRIBE CSS assigned to the device. For example, two BLF speed dials are configured on a phone. • Extension 1234 in the "internal" partition • Extension 1234 in the "external" partition Whichever partition is listed first within the SUBSCRIBE CSS is the one that will provide BLF presence to the subscribed devices. BLF and SpeedDials For Cisco Unified IP Phones with multiple lines, the phone uses the cached information that is associated with the line directory number for missed and placed calls to determine BLF presence authorization. If this call information is not present, the phone uses the primary line as the subscriber for BLF presence authorization. For BLF and SpeedDial buttons on Cisco Unified IP Phones with multiple lines, the phone uses the first available line as the subscriber. BLF Presence Authorization When a user monitors a directory number that is configured for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960 and 7940 that are running SIP, the system displays a status icon for ‘not on the phone’ on the watcher device when the presence entity is off-hook (but not in a call connected state). These phones do not detect an off-hook status. For all other phone types, the system displays the status icon for ‘on the phone’ on the watcher device for an off-hook condition at the presence entity. Cisco Unified IP Phone BLF presence requests and responses must route to SIP trunks or routes that are associated with SIP trunks. The system rejects BLF presence requests routing to MGCP and H323 trunk devices. SIP Trunks For BLF presence-supported phones that are running SIP, you can configure directory numbers or SIP URIs as BLF and SpeedDial buttons. For BLF presence-supported phones that are running SCCP, you can only configure directory numbers as BLF and SpeedDial buttons.

You can restrict connected numbers and names independently of each other. You can configure connected number and name restrictions on the SIP trunk level or on a call-by-call basis. The SIP trunk level configuration overrides a call-by-call configuration. For example, in a hotel environment, you may want to see the display information for calls that are made between a guest room and the front desk. However, for calls between guest rooms, you can restrict the call information to display on either phone. Call Display Restrictions Configuration Task Flow Before you begin • Review Call Display Restrictions Interactions, on page 554 Procedure Purpose Command or Action Generate a report to identify endpoints that support the Call Display Restrictions feature.

Interaction Feature When you use the Call Display Restrictions feature with Call Park, you must configure an associated translation pattern for each individual call park number to preserve the Call Display Restrictions feature. You cannot configure a single translation pattern to cover a range of call park numbers. Consider the following scenario as an example: 1. The system administrator creates a call park range of 77x and places it in a partition called P_ParkRange. (The phones in the guest rooms can see that the P_ParkRange partition is made visible to the phones in the guest rooms by inclusion of it in the calling search space of the phones [CSS_FromRoom]). 2. The administrator configures a separate translation pattern for each call park directory number and configures the display fields to Restricted. (In the current scenario, the administrator creates translations patterns for 770, 771, 772...779.) Note For the Call Display Restrictions feature to work correctly, the administrator must configure separate translation patterns and not a single translation pattern for a range of numbers (such as 77x or 77[0-9]). 3. Room-1 calls Room-2. 4. Room-2 answers the call, and Room-1 parks the call. 5. When Room-1 retrieves the call, Room-2 does not see Room-1 call information display. See Call Park and Directed Call Park Call Park When you use Call Display Restrictions, you restrict the display information for the list of participants in a conference. See Ad Hoc Conferencing Conference List When you use Call Display Restrictions with features, such as conference and voice mail, the call information display on the phones reflects that status. For example, when the conference feature is invoked, the call information display shows To Conference. When voice mail is accessed by choosing the Messages button, the call information display shows To Voicemail. Conference and Voice Mail To use Call Display Restrictions with Extension Mobility, enable the Ignore Presentation Indicators (internal calls only) parameter in both the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone Configuration window and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Device Profile Configuration window. When you enable Call Display Restrictions with Extension Mobility, the presentation or restriction of the call information depends on the line profile that is associated with the user who is logged in to the device. The configuration that is entered in the user device profile (associated with the user) overrides the configuration that is entered in the phone configuration (of the phone that is enabled for Extension Mobility).

Depending on how you configure the DND Incoming Call Alert parameter, the phone may play a beep, or display a flash notification of the call. • Ringer Off—This option turns off the ringer, but incoming call information gets presented to the device, so that the user can accept the call. When DND is enabled, all new incoming calls with normal priority honor the DND settings for the device. High-priority calls, such as Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) calls, or calls with Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP), ring on the device. Also, when you enable DND, the Auto Answer feature gets disabled. Users can activate Do Not Disturb on the phone in the following ways: • Softkey • Feature button • Cisco Unified Communications Self-Care Portal You can also enable or disable the feature on a per-phone basis from within Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Note Phone Behavior When you enable Do Not Disturb, the Cisco Unified IP Phone displays the message “Do Not Disturb is active”. Some Cisco Unified IP Phones display DND status icons. For details on how individual phone models use Do Not Disturb, consult the user guide for that particular phone model.

When you activate DND, you can still receive incoming call notifications on the phone as specified by the Incoming Call Alert settings in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, but the phone will not ring, except for high-priority calls (such as Cisco Emergency Responder and MLPP calls). Also, if you enable DND while the phone is ringing, the phone stops ringing. Status Notifications Do Not Disturb is supported on both SIP and Cisco Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP) devices. SIP phones use the SIP PUBLISH method to signal a DND status change to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses a Remote-cc REFER request to signal a DND status change to the SIP phone. SCCP phones use SCCP messaging to signal a DND status change to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Configure Busy Lamp Field Status You can configure how the BLF status depicts Do Not Disturb by setting the BLF Status Depects DND service parameter. To set the BLF status, do the following: Before you begin • Busy Lamp Field (BLF) presence status for DND works only when all the registered devices for that shared line DN are set to DND. • If you're using Jabber for iOS or Jabber for Android on the same DN, they are considered registered, even when they are not registered but just configured. Note Generate a Phone Feature List, on page 5 Procedure Step 1 In Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose System > Service Parameters. Step 2 Choose the Cisco CallManager service for the server that you want to configure. Step 3 In the Clusterwide Parameters (System - Presence) pane, specify one of the following values for the BLF Status Depicts DND service parameter: • True—If Do Not Disturb is activated on the device, the BLF status indicator for the device or line appearance reflects the Do Not Disturb state. • False—If Do Not Disturb is activated on the device, the BLF status indicator for the device or line appearance reflects the actual device state.

Interactions The following table describes feature interactions with the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature. Unless otherwise stated, the interactions apply to both the DND Ringer Off and the DND Call Reject option. Interaction with Do Not Disturb Feature On Cisco Unified IP Phones, the message that indicates that the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature is active takes priority over the message that indicates that the user has new voice messages. However, the message that indicates that the Call Forward All feature is active has a higher priority than DND. Call Forward All For locally parked calls, Park Reversion overrides DND. If Phone A has DND turned on, and a call is parked, the park reversion to Phone A occurs and Phone A rings. For remotely parked calls, DND overrides Park Reversion: • If Phone A activates DND Ringer Off and shares a line with Phone A-prime, when Phone A-prime parks the call, park reversion on Phone A honors the DND settings and does not ring. • If Phone A activated DND Call Reject, the park reversion is not presented to Phone A. Park Reversion For locally placed Pickup requests, Pickup overrides DND. If Phone A has DND turned on, and has initiated any type of Pickup, the Pickup call presents normally, and Phone A rings. For remotely placed Pickup requests, DND overrides Pickup as follows: • If Phone A is in DND Ringer Off mode and shares a line with Phone A-prime, when Phone A-prime initiates Pickup, the Pickup call to Phone A honors the DND settings and Phone A does not ring. • If Phone A is in DND Call Reject mode, the Pickup call is not presented to Phone A. Pickup Hold Reversion and Intercom override DND, and the call gets presented normally.

chunk 558

Interaction with Do Not Disturb Feature Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (phones that are running SCCP) and Cisco Emergency Responder calls override DND. Multilevel Precedence and Preemption and Cisco Emergency Responder calls get presented normally, and the phone ring is supported on both SCCP and SIP. MLPP and CER For the originating side, callback overrides DND. When the activating device is on DND mode, the callback notification (both audio and visual) is still presented to the user. For the terminating side, DND overrides callback as follows: • When the terminating side is on DND Ringer Off, the Callback Available screen is sent after the terminating side goes off hook and on hook. • When the terminating side is on DND Call Reject, and is available, a new screen is sent to the activating device as "<DirectoryNumber> has become available but is on DND-R" if the activating device is in same cluster. Callback available notification is sent only after the terminating side disables DND Call Reject. Call Back For the DND Ringer Off option, only visual notification gets presented to the device. For the DND Call Reject option, no notification gets presented to the device. Pickup Notification If a device in a Hunt List has DND Ringer Off activated, the call is still presented to the user. However, the DND Incoming Call Alert settings would still apply. If a device in a Hunt List has DND Call Reject activated, any calls to that Hunt List will go to the next member and will not get sent to this device. Hunt List For Extension Mobility, the device profile settings include DND incoming call alert and DND status. When a user logs in and enables DND, the DND incoming call alert and DND status settings get saved, and these settings get used when the user logs in again. Note When a user who is logged in to Extension Mobility modifies the DND incoming call alert or DND status settings, this action does not affect the actual device settings. Extension Mobility Restrictions Some restrictions apply to DND usage, depending on the phone or device type in use. • The following phone models and devices that are running SCCP support only the DND Ringer Off option: • Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940 • Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960 • Cisco IP Communicator Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 567 Presence and Privacy Features Restrictions

C H A P T E R 44 Privacy • Privacy Overview, on page 571 • Privacy Configuration Task Flow, on page 572 • Privacy Restrictions, on page 575 Privacy Overview The Privacy feature allows you to enable or disable the capability of users with phones that share the same line (DN) to view call status and to barge into the call. You can enable or disable privacy for each phone or for all phones. By default, the system enables privacy for all phones in the cluster. When the device that is configured for privacy registers with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the feature button on the phone that is configured with privacy gets labeled, and the status is indicated through an icon. If the button has a lamp, it comes on. When the phone receives an incoming call, the user makes the call private (so the call information does not display on the shared line) by pressing the Privacy feature button. The Privacy feature button toggles between On and Off. To verify if your Cisco Unified IP Phone supports Privacy, see the user documentation for your phone model. Privacy on Hold Privacy on Hold allows you to enable or disable the capability of users with phones that share the same line (DN) to view call status and retrieve calls on hold. You can enable or disable Privacy on Hold for specific phones or all the phones. Privacy on Hold activates automatically on all private calls when Privacy on Hold is enabled. By default, the system disables Privacy on Hold for all phones in the cluster. To activate Privacy on Hold, users press the Hold softkey or Hold button while on a private call. To return to the call, users press the Resume softkey. The phone that puts the call on hold displays the status indicator for a held call; shared lines display the status indicators for a private and held call.

When the call is not protected, the system plays a nonsecure indication tone, which comprises six short beeps, on a protected phone. Only callers on protected phones can hear secure and nonsecure indication tones. Callers on phones that are not protected cannot hear these tones. Note The secure and nonsecure indication tones are supported on the following types of calls: • Intracluster to IP-to-IP calls • Intercluster protected calls • IP-to-Time-Division-Multiplexing (TDM) calls through a protected MGCP E1 PRI gateway For video calls, the system plays secure and nonsecure indication tones on protected devices. For video calls, the user may first hear secure indication tone for the audio portion of the call and then nonsecure indication tone for overall nonsecure media. Note A lock icon that is displayed on a Cisco Unified IP Phone indicates that the media are encrypted, but does not indicate that the phone has been configured as a protected device. However, the lock icon must be present for a protected call to occur. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 583

Protected Device Gateways You can configure only supported Cisco Unified IP Phones and MGCP E1 PRI gateways as protected devices in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Cisco Unified Communications Manager can also direct an MGCP Cisco IOS gateway to play secure and nonsecure indication tones when the system determines the protected status of a call. Protected devices provide these functions: • You can configure phones that are running SCCP or SIP as protected devices. • Protected devices can call nonprotected devices that are either encrypted or nonencrypted. In such cases, the call specifies nonprotected and the system plays nonsecure indication tone to the phones on the call. • When a protected phone calls another protected phone, but the media is not encrypted, the system plays a nonsecure indication tone to the phones on the call. Secure Tone Prerequisites • You must configure the MGCP gateway for SRTP encryption. Configure the gateway with this command: mgcp package-capability srtp-package. • The MGCP gateway must specify an Advanced IP Services or Advanced Enterprise Services image (for example, c3745-adventerprisek9-mz.124-6.T.bin).

CMCs assist with call accounting and billing for clients, and FACs regulate the types of calls that certain users can place. CMCs force the user to enter a code; this action specifies that the call relates to a specific client matter. You can assign client matter codes to customers, students, or other populations for call accounting and billing purposes. FACs force the user to enter a valid authorization code that is assigned at a certain access level before the call is completed. Client Matter Codes and Forced Authorization Codes Prerequisites • Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running SCCP and SIP support CMC and FAC. • The CMC and FAC tones play only on Cisco Unified IP Phones that are running SCCP or SIP; TAPI/JTAPI ports; and MGCP FXS ports.

ClientMatterCodesandForcedAuthorizationCodesInteractions Table 55: Client Matter Codes and Forced Authorization Codes Interactions Interaction Feature CDR Analysis and Reporting (CAR) allows you to run reports that provide call details for client matter codes (CMCs), forced authorization codes (FACs), and authorization levels. CDR Analysis and Reporting (CAR) In most cases, your system can alert a CTI, JTAPI, or TAPI application that the user must enter a code during a call. When a user places a call, creates an ad hoc conference, or performs a consult transfer through a CMC- or FAC-enabled route pattern, the user must enter a code after receiving the tone. When a user redirects or blind transfers a call through a CMC- or FAC-enabled route pattern, the user receives no tone, so the application must send the codes to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If your system receives the appropriate codes, the call connects to the intended party. If your system does not receive the appropriate codes, Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends an error to the application that indicates which code is missing. CTI, JTAPI, and TAPI applications Web Dialer supports CMCs and FACs in the following ways: • A user can enter the destination number in the dial text box of the WD HTML page or SOAP request, and then manually enter the CMC or FAC on the phone. • A user can enter the destination number followed by the FAC or CMC in the dial text box of the WD HTML page or SOAP request. For example, if the destination number is 5555, the FAC is 111, and the CMC is 222, a user can make a call by dialing 5555111# (FAC), 5555222# (CMC), or 5555111222# (CMC and FAC). Note • WebDialer does not handle any validation for the destination number. The phone handles the required validation. • If a user does not provide a code or provides the wrong code, the call will fail. • If a user makes a call from the WebApp with a DN that contains special characters, the call goes successfully after stripping the special characters. The same rules do not work in SOAP UI.

Interaction Feature You can use speed dial to reach destinations that require a FAC, CMC, dialing pauses, or additional digits (such as a user extension, a meeting access code, or a voicemail password). When the user presses the configured speed dial, the phone establishes the call to the destination number and sends the specified FAC, CMC, and additional digits with dialing pauses inserted. Speed Dial and Abbreviated Speed Dial ClientMatterCodesandForcedAuthorizationCodesRestrictions Table 56: Client Matter Codes and Forced Authorization Codes Restrictions Description Restriction H.323 analog gateways do not support CMCs or FACs because these gateways cannot play tones. Analog gateways Calls that are forwarded to a CMC- or FAC-enabled route pattern fail because no user is present to enter the code. When a user presses the CFwdALL softkey and enters a number that has CMC or FAC enabled on the route pattern, call forwarding fails. To minimize call-processing interruptions, test the number before you configure call forwarding. To do this, dial the intended forwarding number; if you are prompted for a code, do not configure call forwarding for that number. Advise users of this practice to reduce the number of complaints that result from forwarded calls that do not reach the intended destination. Call forwarding Calls that originate from a SIP trunk, H.323 gateway, or MGCP gateway fail if they encounter a route pattern that requires CMCs or FACs and the caller is not configured with Cisco Unified Mobility. Cisco Unified Mobility The CMC and FAC feature on Cisco Mobility does not support an alternative number as its dial via office (DVO) callback number. The DVO callback number must be the number that is registered on the Mobility Identity window. Dial via Office callback number CMCs and FACs do not work with failover calls. Failover calls After dialing the phone number, hearing-impaired users should wait one or two seconds before entering the authorization or client matter code. Hearing-impaired users Cisco does not localize CMCs or FACs. The CMC and FAC features use the same default tone for any locale that is supported with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

• DisplayName defines the name of the custom ring for the associated PCM file that will display on the Ring Type menu of the Cisco Unified IP Phone. • FileName specifies the name of the PCM file for the custom ring to associate with DisplayName. The DisplayName and FileName fields must not exceed 25 characters. Tip The following example shows a Ringlist.xml file that defines two phone ring types: <CiscoIPPhoneRinglist> <Ring> <DisplayName>Analog Synth 1</DisplayName> <FileName>Analog1.raw</FileName> </Ring> <Ring> <DisplayName>Analog Synth 2</DisplayName> <FileName>Analog2.raw</FileName> </Ring> </CiscoIPPhoneRinglist> You must include the required DisplayName and FileName for each phone ring type. The Ringlist.xml file can include up to 50 ring types. Tip Custom Backgrounds You can also use the TFTP server to upload new custom background images to the phones in your network. Phone users can select the images that you upload as their phone backgrounds. You can configure your system so that phone users can select from an assortment of images or you can assign a specific background image for all phone. If you want your phone users to be able to customize their phone backgrounds, then you must prepare and upload the following files to the TFTP server whenever you upload new images: • Full-size background image—Refer to your phone documentation for image specifications, including the image size (in pixels) and color-type, for your phone model. • A thumbnail image—This is only required if you want your phone users to be able to choose their own background image. Refer to your phone documentation for the thumbnail image specifications • An edited List.xml file—This file contains a listing of the background images from which phone users can select. You must add your new images to this file. If you want to assign a specific image for all phones then you need to upload the main background image only.

This source makes music available to any on-net or off-net device that you place on hold. On-net devices include station devices and applications that an interactive voice response (IVR) or call distributor places on hold, consult hold, or park hold. Off-net users include those users who are connected through Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) or Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP) gateways, Cisco IOS H.323 gateways, and Cisco IOS Media Gateway Control Protocol gateways. The system also makes the Music On Hold feature available for Cisco IP POTS phones that connect to the Cisco IP network through Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) ports on Cisco IOS H.323 or MGCP and for Cisco MGCP or SCCP gateways. Start Cisco Unified Communications Manager to create a media resource manager. Music On Hold server registers to the media resource manager with its music on hold resources. Music On Hold server is a software application that provides music on hold audio sources and connects a music on hold audio source to multiple streams. When an end device or feature places a call on hold, Cisco Unified Communications Manager connects the held device to a music resource. When the held device is retrieved, it disconnects from the music on hold resource and resumes normal activity. Caller-Specific Music On Hold For SIP calls that a phone receives over the SIP trunk, Cisco Unified Communications Manager can use a different MOH audio source.

An external application, such as the Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP) contact center solution, determines the most appropriate MOH audio source based on the caller ID, dialed number, or IVR interaction when a call is received from the public switched telephone network (PSTN). For details, see the Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal documentation at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/ support/customer-collaboration/unified-customer-voice-portal/tsd-products-support-series-home.html. Increased Capacity of IP Voice Media Streaming Application and Expanded MOH Audio Source Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application is installed automatically when you install Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Activate this application to enable the Music On Hold (MOH) feature. With this release, the capacity of Cisco Unified Communications Manager to support unique and concurrent MOH audio sources, while the Music On Hold service is running on the MOH server, is increased from 51 to 501. The MOH audio sources are numbered from 1 to 501 with the fixed MOH audio source remaining at the number 51. The fixed MOH device cannot use an audio source that connects through a USB MOH device, because Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support USB when running on VMware. Use of the fixed MOH USB device is not supported on VMware. However, provision the external sound device for use with deployments that utilize Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) multicast MOH. You can configure each MOH audio source to use a custom announcement as an initial greeting and/or an announcement that is played periodically to callers who are hearing the music. Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides 500 custom announcements that you can use on one or multiple MOH audio sources. These announcements are not distributed between the Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers within a cluster. You have to upload these custom announcement files to each server that provides the MOH and announcement services. You must also upload each custom music file for MOH audio sources to each server. Performance Impact of Media Devices with Services The Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application runs as a service for four media devices—annunciator (ANN), software conference bridge, Music On Hold (MOH), and software media termination point. Activate this service on a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server as coresident with call processing. When you activate this service, ensure that you configure these media devices for limited capacity to avoid any impact on the call processing. The default settings for the media devices are defined based on this coresident operation. You can adjust these settings by reducing the use of one or more media devices to increase other settings. For example, if you are not using software media termination point devices, you can choose the Run Flag setting for the SW MTP to False, select System > Service Parameters > Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming App service > MTP Parameters , and add the MTP Call Count setting to Media Resource > MOH Server > Maximum Half Duplex Streams configuration. Depending on the call traffic, you can modify the default settings. However, monitor the server performance activity for CPU, memory, and IO wait. For higher capacity clusters, such as the ones using 7500 user OVA configuration, it is possible to increase the default media device settings for Call Count by 25%. For installations where you expect high usage of the media devices, such as Music On Hold, or where high call volumes require higher number of media connections, activate the Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application service on one or more of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers which do not have call processing activated. Activating this service limits the impact of media device usage to other services, Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 616 Custom Features Increased Capacity of IP Voice Media Streaming Application and Expanded MOH Audio Source

such as call processing. Then, you can increase the configuration settings for maximum number of calls for the media devices. When you activate Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application as co-resident with Cisco Unified Communications Manager service, it can impact call processing performance. To increase the capacity settings for Music On Hold or annunciator from the default settings, it is suggested to activate Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application on a server without activating Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The CPU performance is impacted by MOH when active callers are on hold or when multicast MOH audio streams are configured. Table 57: General Performance Results CPU Performance Configuration Notes 25–45% (7500 user OVA configuration) Dedicated MOH server, 1000 held calls, 500 MOH sources with greeting and periodic announcements. 25–45% (7500 user OVA configuration) Native call queuing with dedicated MOH server and annunciator server, 1000 queued calls, 500 MOH sources with greeting and periodic announcements. An annunciator can play up to 300 simultaneous greeting announcements. 15–35% (7500 user OVA configuration) Dedicated MOH server, 500 held calls, 500 MOH sources with greeting and periodic announcements. Table 58: Extrapolated Recommendations Recommendation Limit Configuration MOH: 500 held callers, 100 MOH sources, and 48 to 64 annunciator callers. When Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application is co-resident with Cisco Unified Communications Manager on 2500 OVA (moderate call processing). MOH: 750 held callers, 250 MOH sources, and 250 annunciator callers. When Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application is a dedicated server on 2500 OVA. MOH: 500 held callers, 250 MOH sources, and 128 annunciator callers. When Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application is co-resident with Cisco Unified Communications Manager on 7500/10K OVA (moderate call processing). MOH: 1000 held callers, 500 MOH sources, and 300-700 annunciator callers (with 1 MOH codec). Note Reduce annunciator to 300 for two MOH codecs. When Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application is a dedicated server on 7500/10K OVA. These recommendations are specific to MOH/ANN devices. If you combine these devices with the software media termination point (MTP) and call forward busy (CFB) devices, reduce the limits to provide streams.

Configuration Limitations for Capacity Planning The Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application and Self Provisioning IVR services use a media kernel driver to create and control Real-time Transfer Protocol (RTP) streams. This media kernel driver has a capacity of 6000 streams. These streams allow the media devices and IVR to make resource reservations. These reservations are based on the following capacity calculations: Capacity Media Device (Call Count service parameter) * 3 Where 3 indicates total of receiving (RX) and transmitting (TX) calls for endpoint and 1 for .wav file. Annunciator (Call Count service parameter) * 2 Where 2 indicates total streams of RX and TX endpoints. Software Conference Bridge (Call Count service parameter) * 2 Where 2 indicates total streams of RX and TX endpoints. Software Media Termination Point ((Maximum Half Duplex Streams) * 3) + (501 * 2 * [number of enabled MOH codecs]) Where: • (Maximum Half Duplex Streams) is a configuration setting on the MOH device configuration administration web page. • 3 indicates total steams of RX, TX, and greeting announcement .wav file. • 501 indicates the maximum number of Music On Hold (MOH) sources. • 2 indicates music .wav stream and possible multicast TX stream. • [number of enabled MOH codecs] is based on how many MOH codecs are enabled in the Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application service parameters. Music On Hold (500 * 2) Where 500 indicates callers, and 2 indicates total streams from RX and TX streams. Self Provisioning IVR Service Hence, to enable MOH to support a maximum of 1000 callers, use the following equation: 1000 * 3 + 501 * 2 * 1 = 4002 driver streams with one enabled codec and 1000 * 3 +501 * 2 * 2 = 5004 with two enabled codecs. Reduce the remaining devices and deactivate the Self Provisioning IVR service to limit total reservations to 6000, which allows the MOH device to make these reservations. It may also require that you do not activate the Self Provisioning IVR service on the same server with Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application. If configuration settings of the media devices exceed the capacity of the media device driver, the media devices that register with the device driver first will be able to reserve their required stream resources. The media devices that register later are restricted to fewer than requested stream resources.

devices result in logging some alarm messages and automatically reducing the call count for the restricted media device. A media kernel driver with a capacity of 6000 streams might not support that many simultaneous media device connections. Note Interwork External Multicast MOH to Unicast MOH With this release, you can configure a Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) router as an audio source. This router provides multicast MOH audio for devices that are capable of multicast reception. In this approach, devices act as if Cisco Unified Communications Manager is sending the multicast MOH audio. However, devices that are capable of only the unicast reception cannot hear the MOH audio that an external MOH source (for example, Cisco Unified SRST router) sends. Examples of devices that are capable of unicast reception only can be public switched telephone network (PSTN) phones, destination to session border controllers (SBC), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunks. In this release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, this feature is enhanced to receive multicast MOH audio from an external audio source and send it as unicast MOH audio. Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses this feature to play multicast MOH audio as unicast MOH for the devices that are capable of unicast MOH reception only. Examples of an external MOH audio source can be a Cisco Unified SRST router or software that can send multicast MOH audio. An administrator configures the fields for this feature from Cisco Unified CM Administration Music On Hold Audio Source Configuration window. • This feature has no impact on existing functionality of playing multicast MOH audio using an external audio source for the devices that are capable of multicast reception. • For the unicast media connection, Cisco Unified Communications Manager MOH Server plays the initial announcement and periodic announcement even if you configure the MOH audio source with external multicast source. Note Configuration Tips for the Codec-Specific Inbound Audio Stream Configure an external multicast audio source, such as Cisco Unified SRST router, to MOH server for streaming the required audio feed. To configure an external multicast audio source, such as a Cisco Unified SRST router, configure the Source IPv4 Multicast Address and Source Port Number fields in the MOH Audio Source Configuration window. • Cisco Unified Communications Manager listens to multicast G.711 mu-law stream on external multicast IP address and port that you configured on the MOH Audio Source configuration window. An MOH server can transcode between the G.711 mu-law or a-law or L16 256K wideband MOH codecs. The external multicast RTP stream uses G.711 mu-law codec for MOH as a source for G.711 mu-law or a-law or L16 256K wideband MOH codecs. For G.711 a-law and wideband calls, Cisco Unified Communications Manager MOH server transcodes the inbound G.711 mu-law stream to outbound G.711 a-law or wideband stream before sending it to the device. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 619 Custom Features Interwork External Multicast MOH to Unicast MOH

• Cisco Unified Communications Manager listens to multicast G.729 stream on external multicast IP and port value added with four that is configured on the MOH audio source configuration window. For example, if you configure an MOH audio Source with 239.1.1.1:16384, Cisco Unified Communications Manager listens to G.711 mu-law stream on 239.1.1.1:16384 and G.729 stream on 239.1.1.1:16388 (port value added with four). An MOH server cannot transcode for G.729 codecs. Callers who are using MOH G.729 codec require an external multicast RTP stream using G.729 or G.729a codec. Music On Hold Prerequisites • Before you configure multicast, ensure that you configure MOH server and audio sources. If you want to use fixed audio source, configure it before you configure multicast. • Make sure to decide whether you are going to do unicast or multicast Music On Hold • It is crucial to plan the capacity of the deployed and configured hardware and ensure that it can support the anticipated call volume of the network. You need to know the hardware capacity for MOH resources and consider the implications of multicast and unicast MOH in relation to this capacity. Ensure that network call volumes do not exceed these limits. When MOH sessions reach these limits, an additional load can result in poor MOH quality, erratic MOH operation, or loss of MOH functionality. • If you use multicast MOH and the devices that listen to multicast MOH streams are not in the same IP network, you must enable multicast routing in the IP network. Take care when you enable the multicast routing to avoid the potential flooding of parts of the network with wrongly sent multicast packets (specially, across WAN links). Disable multicasts on interfaces on which the multicast MOH packets are not required and use the Max Hops parameter. • For detailed information on planning your Music On Hold deployment, including server capacities, refer to the Music On Hold capacities topics in the Cisco Collaboration System Solution Reference Network Design.

Procedure Step 1 In Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Media Resources > MOH Audio File Management. The Music On Hold Audio File Management window appears. Step 2 View the following information for each record: • Check box—If the audio file can be deleted, a check box appears before the File Name column. • File Name—This column displays the audio file name. • Length—This column displays the audio file length in minutes and seconds. • File Status—This column displays one of the following statuses of an audio file: • Translation Complete—This status appears after a file is uploaded successfully and is available for use as audio files for a music on hold audio source. • In Use—This status appears after you add a Music On Hold audio source that uses this audio file as its MOH audio source file. Note You cannot a delete a file with In Use status. Unicast and Multicast Audio Sources Unicast Music On Hold is the system default option. However, you need to configure for multicast, if required. Both multicast and unicast configurations present the same audio-source behavior to held parties. Each audio source is used once, and the stream is split internally and is sent to the held parties. The only difference between multicast and unicast, in this case, is how the data is sent over the network. Table 59: Differences Between Unicast and Multicast Audio Sources Multicast Audio Source Unicast Audio Source Consists of streams that are sent from the MOH server to a multicast group IP address. Endpoints that request an MOH audio stream can join multicast MOH, as needed. Consists of streams that are sent directly from the MOH server to the endpoint that requests an MOH audio stream. A multicast MOH stream is a point-to-multipoint, one-way audio RTP stream between the MOH server and the multicast group IP address. A unicast MOH stream is a point-to-point, one-way audio RTP stream between the server and the endpoint device. Enables multiple users to use the same audio source stream to provide MOH. Unicast MOH uses a separate source stream for each user or connection. As more endpoint devices go on hold through a user or network event, the number of MOH streams increases.

Multicast Audio Source Unicast Audio Source For multicast users, this announcement is not heard. An MOH audio source may be configured with an initial (greeting) announcement, which will be played to unicast held parties. For unicast MOH users, this announcement is heard from the beginning. Multicast MOH conserves system resources and bandwidth. The additional MOH streams can have a negative effect on network throughput and bandwidth. Can be problematic in situations in which a network is not enabled for multicast or the endpoint devices are incapable of processing multicast. Extremely useful in networks in which multicast is not enabled or devices are incapable of multicast. Includes managing devices, IP addresses, and ports. Includes managing devices only. Administrators must define at least one audio source to allow multicasting. To define Music On Hold servers for multicast, first define the server to allow multicasting. No requirement to define the Music On Hold server. Functions only if both media resource groups and media resource group lists are defined to include a multicast Music On Hold server. For media resource groups, you must include a Music On Hold server that is set up for multicast. These servers are labeled as (MOH) [Multicast]. Also, check the Use Multicast for MOH Audio check box when you define a media resource group for multicast. Functions without configuring MOH audio source, MOH server, or media resource group list. The Multicast MOH Direction Attribute for SIP service parameter determines whether Cisco Unified Communications Manager sets the direction attribute of the Session Description Protocol (SDP) in its multicast Music On Hold (MOH) INVITE message to sendOnly or recvOnly. If your deployment uses SIP phone uses Release 8.4 and earlier for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940 and 7960, or SIP phone uses Release 8.1(x) and earlier for Cisco Unified IP Phones 7906, 7911, 7941, and 7961, set this parameter to sendOnly. Otherwise, leave this parameter set to the default value, recvOnly.

Music On Hold Interactions Interaction Feature Using the multicast MOH over H.323 intercluster trunk feature, you can multicast MOH to work over H.323 intercluster trunks (ICT). When a call connects over an intercluster trunk and one of the parties presses the Hold key, MOH streams over the intercluster trunk. If you have turned on the multicast MOH and have configured the holding party and trunk to use the multicast MOH server, MOH streams with multicast. Only one multicast MOH stream streams over the trunk regardless of the number of calls that are put on hold on this trunk. Additional points regarding this feature: • This feature does not work if any middle box between Cisco Unified Communications Managers does not pass the new fields in Terminal Capability Set (TCS) and OLC message. • This feature requires no additional configuration for field up multicast MOH, and applies only between Cisco Unified Communications Managers that support single-transmitter multicast. • The feature is On by default, but can be turned off by setting the Send Multicast MOH in H.245 OLC Message service parameter to False. Setting this value can resolve interoperability issues that the feature might cause. Multicast Music On Hold over H.323 Intercluster Trunks The MOH server supports Cisco Unified Communications Manager lists and failover as implemented by the software conference bridge and media termination point. Upon failover, the system maintains connections to a backup Cisco Unified Communications Manager, if available. When a Music On Hold server fails during an active Music On Hold session, the held party hears no music from this point. However, this situation does not affect normal call functions. Music On Hold Failover and Fallback Music On Hold allows users to place calls on hold with music that a streaming source provides. Music On Hold allows two types of hold: • User hold—The system invokes this type of hold when a user presses the Hold button or Hold softkey. • Network hold—This type of hold takes place when a user activates the Transfer, Conference, or Call Park feature, and the hold automatically gets invoked. This hold type applies to directed call park because directed call park is a transfer function. However, Directed Call Park uses the Cisco Call Manager service parameter, Default Network Hold MOH Audio Source, for the audio source. Call Park and Directed Call Park Examples include RSVP Agent, TRP, Music On Hold (MOH), MTP, transcoder, and conference bridge. Media resources are local to the visiting phone (other than RSVP Agents).

Interaction Feature Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports MOH on a reverted call if MOH is configured for a normal held call. Hold Reversion Held parties determine the media resource group list that a Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses to allocate a Music On Hold resource. Media Resource Selection Cisco Unified Communications Manager enhances the Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming application service to support Secure Real-Time Protocol (SRTP). Hence, when you enable the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster or system for security, the MOH server registers with Cisco Unified Communications Manager as an SRTP capable device. If the receiving device is also SRTP-capable, the music media is encrypted before streaming to the receiving device. Make sure of the following: • Cluster security should be mixed mode—Run the utils ctl set-cluster mixed-mode CLI command • SIP trunks in the path support SRTP—The SRTP Allowed check box must be checked in the Trunk Configuration window for SRTP to work over the trunk. • Devices support SRTP—In the Phone Security Profile used by the endpoint, the Device Security Mode must be Encrypted. Secured Music On Hold with SRTP Music On Hold Restrictions Description Restriction Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) and media termination point (MTP) devices do not support the multicast Music On Hold feature. If you configure CTI or MTP devices with a multicast MoH device in the media resource group list of the CTI device, call control issues may result. CTI and MTP devices do not support multicast media streaming. Multicast Music On Hold Support Multicast Music On Hold supports only IPv4. The Cisco IP Voice Media Streaming Application, which is a component of Music On Hold, supports both IPv4 and IPv6 audio media connections for unicast Music On Hold. Multicast Music On Hold supports IPv4 only. Devices with an IP addressing mode of IPv6 only cannot support multicast. Internet Protocol Support Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support distribution of fixed-device (hardware) audio sources across Music On Hold servers within a media resource group. Distribution of fixed-device audio sources Because the G.729a codec is designed for human speech, if you use it with Music On Hold for music, it may not provide acceptable audio quality.

Description Restriction A Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster or system supports only virtualized deployments on Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers or other Cisco-approved third-party server configurations. You cannot use the Music On Hold feature with an external source (USB audio dongle) for the nodes that provide MOH from an external source. Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Support The administrator can designate a Music On Hold server as either unicast or multicast, provided that resources exist to support multicast. Multicast Support Caller-specific MOH is not supported when calls are received or transferred over QSIG tunneling-enabled SIP trunks. Caller-specific MOH Support The Music On Hold feature does not support the MP3 format. MP3 Format Support Multicast MOH does not support interoperability between H.323 and SIP protocols. Interoperability between H.323 and SIP Protocols Multicast MoH audio streams are not encrypted and do not support SRTP. SRTP Support MTPs do not support multicast streams. Multicast Streams Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support encryption of multicast Music On Hold RTP streams. For secure MOH audio, you should not configure multicast audio sources. Encryption of Multicast Music On Hold RTP Streams The fixed Music On Hold device cannot specify an audio source that connects through a USB, because Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support USB when running on VMware. However, VMware supports internal Music On Hold. Fixed Music On Hold Device Cisco Unified Communications Manager takes no action when a Music On Hold server fails during an active Music On Hold session. MOH Server Failure When an MTP resource gets invoked in a call leg at a site that is using multicast MOH, Cisco Unified Communications Manager falls back to unicast MOH instead of multicast MOH. Multicast MOH If you do not provision the user and network MOH audio source identifiers, or if one or both values are invalid, the caller-specific MOH information in the SIP header is ignored. The call reverts to tone on hold and an invalid MOH audio source alarm is raised. Provisioning • When both the user and network MOH audio source identifiers are present in the header, any invalid value is replaced by the default value (0). • If both values are zero, or the only value is zero, the header in the incoming INVITE is ignored. Header Values Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 631 Custom Features Music On Hold Restrictions

Description Restriction • If you provide only one MOH audio source identifier in the SIP header, including if a comma appears before or after the MOH audio source identifier value, the same MOH ID is used for both user and network MOH. The SIP trunk populates both the user and the network MOH audio source identifiers in the SIP header so that Call Control always receive both values. • If there are more than two MOH audio source identifier values separated by a comma in the header, then the first two values are used. Subsequent values are ignored. MOH Audio Source Identifier Administrators are responsible to maintain consistent caller-specific MOH configurations when multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters are involved. Administrators for Consistent Caller-specific MOH Configurations The original incoming caller to the call center cannot change during the course of the entire call. Original Incoming Caller The Music On Hold information is shared only across SIP trunks. MOH Information Music On Hold Troubleshooting Music On Hold Does Not Play on Phone Phone user cannot hear Music On Hold. • G.729a codec is used with MOH for music, which may not provide acceptable audio quality. • An MTP resource is invoked in a call leg at a site that is using multicast MoH. • When an MTP resource gets invoked in a call leg at a site that is using multicast MoH, the caller receives silence instead of Music On Hold. To avoid this scenario, configure unicast MoH or Tone on Hold instead of multicast MoH.

When an emergency call is made the following is required: • The emergency call must be routed to the local Public-Safety Answering Point (PSAP) based on the location of the caller. • The caller's location information must be displayed at the emergency operator terminal. The location information can be obtained from an Automatic Location Information (ALI) database. The caller's location is determined by the Emergency Location Identification Number (ELIN). An ELIN is a Direct Inward Dial (DID) number that the PSAP can dial to reconnect to the emergency caller if the emergency call is cut off or if the PSAP needs to talk to the caller again. The emergency call is routed to the PSAP based on the location information that is associated with this number. For multiline phone systems, such as an office system, the ELIN can be associated with more than one telephone by grouping the phones in an ELIN group. An ELIN group in Emergency Call Handler identifies a location. The ELINs under this ELIN group must be mapped to the location in the ALI database. Each location should have as many ELINs created as needed to support simultaneous emergency calls. For example, to support five simultaneous calls, five ELINs would be needed in an ELIN group. Emergency Call Handler supports a maximum of 100 ELINs per cluster. Make sure that the mapping of ELIN to the original called party is active until the ELIN is used for the next emergency call from the same location. If the ELIN mapping is not used, the DN will be active for a maximum period of 3 hours only. Note Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 637

Interactions Interaction Feature Calls made by PSAP CallBack will overwrite a Do Not Disturb (DND) configuration of a destination device. If DND Call Reject is enabled, when the emergency number is dialed using the translation pattern, an ELIN will be associated for this outbound emergency call. If the call is disconnected and the ELIN is called back using PSAP CallBack, the call is routed to the phone irrespective of the phone's DND settings. Do Not Disturb Call Reject Calls made by PSAP CallBack will overwrite Call Forward All (CFA) settings of the destination device. If a phone has CFA enabled and if the emergency number using the translation pattern is dialed, an ELIN will be associated for this outbound emergency call. If the call is disconnected and the ELIN is called back using PSAP CallBack, the call is routed to the phone irrespective of the phone's CFA settings. Call Forward All PSAP CallBack will ignore the Single Number Reach (SNR) configuration. When a phone has SNR enabled with the Remote Destination pointing to a mobile number. If the emergency number is dialed using the translation pattern, an ELIN will be associated for this outbound emergency call. If the call is disconnected, and the ELIN number is called back using PSAP CallBack, the call is routed to the phone and not to the remote destination.

Interaction Feature PSAP CallBack call will consider Extension Mobility (EM) status. If you log in with EM profile credentials and dial the emergency number using the translation pattern, an ELIN will be associated for this outbound emergency call. If the call is disconnected and the ELIN where the user is still logged in is called back using PSAP CallBack, the call is routed to the device which initiated the call. Note This is the device on which the user is still logged in. Extension Mobility PSAP CallBack will fail if a user logs out of EM before a PSAP CallBack is performed. When a user logs in with EM profile credentials, and the emergency number is dialed using the translation pattern, an ELIN will be associated for this outbound emergency call. If the call is disconnected and is called back using PSAP CallBack, if the user has since logged out, the call will not route to the device that initiated the call and will fail. PSAP CallBack with a user logged in on a different device. When a user logs in with EM profile credentials at Phone A and dials the emergency number using the translation pattern, an ELIN will be associated for this outbound emergency call. If the call is disconnected, the user should log out from Phone A. If the user then logs in to another phone, Phone B, with the same profile, and the ELIN is called back using PSAP CallBack, the call is then be routed to Phone B with normal priority, meaning CFA settings will be ignored and DND settings will not be ignored. PSAP CallBack call with multiple logins. When a user logs in with EM profile credentials at Phone A and dials the emergency number using the translation pattern, an ELIN number will be associated for this outbound emergency call. If the call is disconnected and the user logs in to another phone, Phone B, with the same profile while the user is still logged in on Phone A, and the ELIN is called back using PSAP CallBack, then the call is routed to Phone A only, the device on which the call originated. A roaming device will use the Roaming Device Pool's ELIN Group for an outbound emergency call. Move a device with Device Mobility enabled from its home location to the Roaming location, a change in IP subnet, so that it gets associated with the Roaming device pool. If the emergency number is dialed using the translation pattern, an ELIN is associated for this outbound emergency call. The ELIN belongs to the ELIN Group that is associated with the Roaming Device Pool.

Interaction Feature PSAP CallBack rings only on the device which made the emergency call even if the line is shared by different devices. Phone A and Phone B share a Directory Number (DN). If the emergency number is dialed using the translation pattern, an ELIN is associated for this outbound emergency call. If the call is disconnected, and the ELIN is called back using PSAP CallBack, the call is routed to Phone A only, the device from which the call originated. Shared Lines Emergency Call Handler Troubleshooting About Emergency Call Handler Troubleshooting Scenarios This section provides information about some Emergency Call Handler troubleshooting scenarios in the following areas: • Configuration Scenarios • Outgoing Calls Scenarios • Incoming Calls Scenarios Configuration Scenarios Emergency Calls Get Busy Signals and Are Not Routed Problem: Emergency calls get busy signals and are not routed. Solution: If a user who is dialing the emergency call is running a reorder tone, perform the following checks: • Check whether the translation or route pattern for the emergency call has been used. This may require checking for the device or phone on CSS. • Check whether the Is an Emergency Services Number check box has been checked for the translation or route pattern of the emergency call, and that it is correctly routing to the gateway. If the user who is dialing the emergency call is not reaching the correct gateway or Public Service Answering Point (PSAP), check that the settings or device pool settings for the phone or device are configured with the correct Emergency Location (ELIN) Group. Emergency Location Numbers Are Dialed from Outside Running a Reorder Tone Problem: Emergency Location (ELIN) numbers are dialed from outside while running a reorder tone.

Cause: In this case the ELINs have been set as DID which is used to identify a caller's location. This should not be used on any phone or for any other purpose. Solution: Check the ELIN configuration information, and unset the ELINs that have been set as DID. Outgoing Calls Scenarios Outgoing Emergency Call Does Not Contain Calling Party as Emergency Location Number Problem: An outgoing emergency call does not contain the calling party as an Emergency Location (ELIN) number. Cause: The translation pattern or route pattern for this ELIN was not configured correctly. Solution: Check that the translation pattern or route pattern settings are correctly configured for this ELIN, and make sure that the Is an Emergency Services number check box is checked on the relevant translation pattern or route pattern configuration page. Outgoing Emergency Call Contains Modified Emergency Location Number Problem: An outgoing emergency call contains a modified Emergency Location (ELIN) number. Cause: The outgoing trunk or route list contains extra transformations that are not required for ELINs. Solution: Check the transformations that were applied for the call, and make sure that only the required transformations for ELINs are present on the outgoing trunk or route list. Incoming Calls Scenarios Incoming PSAP Callback Call Fails Problem: An incoming PSAP Callback call fails. Cause: The device that made the original emergency call was not registered correctly. Solution: Check whether the device that made the original emergency call is still registered and whether any Extension Mobility is involved.

Incoming PSAP CallBack Call is Not Routed as Expected Problem: An incoming PSAP CallBack call does not get routed as expected. Cause: The Emergency Location (ELIN) number does not match the number of the original dialed party. Solution: For an ELIN to be successfully reverse mapped to the original dialed party, these two numbers must match. If there are already transformations at the incoming Gateway or Trunk and significant digits configured, make sure that the final transformed called party matches the ELIN number.

C H A P T E R 53 Emergency Call Handling with RedSky • Emergency Call Handling with RedSky Overview, on page 651 • Emergency Call Handling Configuration Task Flow, on page 652 Emergency Call Handling with RedSky Overview This feature is applicable from Releases 12.5(1)SU6 and 14SU2 onwards. Important The RedSky solutions integrated with Unified Communications Manager allow the clients to have an active location for 9-1-1 emergency calling coverage for their entire workforce, whether on campus or remote and send the calls to emergency responders. The endpoints store the location URI received from the RedSky server as a response to HTTP Enabled Location Delivery (HELD) request. When an emergency number 9-1-1 is dialed from Webex, the Unified Communications Manager obtains the previously saved location URI as Geolocation header in INVITE message and routes the calls to the RedSky server with outgoing INVITE containing the location URI as Geolocation header corresponding to the location of the called device. RedSky server replaces with the right ELIN and sends the call to any Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) for an emergency transmit. E911 Anywhere simultaneously sends call notifications including SMS text, Email, and Security desk screen alerts. The Cisco Emergency Responder automatically finds and tracks the dispatchable locations of all your devices as they move throughout the enterprise so you can comply with E911 regulations. Emergency Responder tracks Cisco IP Phones through Switch Port or Access Point or IP Subnet or Manually configured. Emergency Responder maintains the status of the phones (On-premises, Off-premises, unlocated), and passes on any Automatic Location Information (ALI) or ELIN information to RedSky. Phone users rely on Unified CM to route their emergency calls to RedSky and the designated emergency provider. For Off-premises phones, if the user's phone's current location has not been previously defined, the user is directed to the Emergency Responder Off-Premises User web page to create a new location. After the new location has been defined and the address has been confirmed, emergency calls placed from off-premises phones will then be completed through the RedSky. We recommend that when an employee is working on-premises at an organization site, the user’s location should be defined by the calling system administrator.

Emergency Call Handling Configuration Task Flow The administrator can use the following task to have a dynamic location for 9-1-1 emergency calling and transfer the call to emergency responders. Procedure Purpose Command or Action Create a SIP Trunk for routing the call to the RedSky server. Configure RedSky Server Step 1 Add the Service Profile details of an end-user for emergency calls. Configure Service Profile Step 2 Assign the created service profile to the Webex client end-user. Assign the Service Profile Step 3 Create SIP Route Pattern with the domain name and associate the same with the previously created SIP trunk. Setting Up the SIP Route Pattern for Routing Calls Step 4 Configure RedSky Server Use this procedure to create a SIP Trunk for routing the call to the RedSky server. Steps 7, 8 and 9 are only needed during on-premises integration. Note Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Device > Trunk. Step 2 Click Add New. Step 3 From the Trunk Type drop-down list, choose SIP Trunk. Step 4 From the Protocol Type drop-down list, choose the type of SIP trunk that matches your deployment and click Next. Step 5 In the SIP Information area, enter an IPv4 address of the RedSky server, fully qualified domain name, or DNS SRV record for the server or endpoint that you want to connect to the SIP trunk in the Destination Address text box. Step 6 From the SIP Trunk Security Profile drop-down, assign a security profile. If you don't select this option, a SIP Trunk Security Profile nonsecure profile will be assigned. Step 7 (Optional) From the SIP Profile drop-down list, assign a Ping option enabled RedSky SIP profile. Step 8 (Optional) In the Normalization Script area, from the Normalization Script drop-down, choose redsky-alternate-id-interop.

Step 9 (Optional) For Parameter Name and Parameter Value, enter the respective information. The following inputs are supported for Parameter Name: • RedSky-CustomerID—This is a mandatory field. It is the HELD ID from RedSky admin page. This is used to identify the customer account for the calling party. • Alternate-Callback-Number—This is an optional field. This field inserts an optional callback number for emergency calls. It should be used for callers that do not have Direct Inward Dial (DID) numbers for callback. • Ext-Length—This is an optional field. This parameter is used for customers with non-E.164 numbering convention. The parameter will enters the non-E.164 into the RedSky E911-User-ID header. • Agent-Ext—This is an optional field. This parameter identifies agent extensions based on the matching digits. Populating this parameter puts the agent calling party into the RedSky E911-User-ID header. The script does not only look for leading digits in the extension it looks at. For example, if Agent-Ext is set to “5”, 12345678 will match, although 12345678 does not have a 5 as a leading digit. If Agent-Ext is set to 100200, then 123410020088 will match although 100200 is not a leading digit. If Agent-Ext is set to 12, then 446658787 will not match because it does not contain 12. Step 10 Click Save. Configure Service Profile Use this procedure to add the Service Profile details of an end-user for emergency calls. Before you begin • You must create a SIP Trunk with the destination as the RedSky server and a SIP Profile with Ping options enabled. A SIP route pattern must be created with the required domain name (RedSky), and it is associated with the trunk created previously. • A service profile is applied for a given device only when the owner's user ID is specified. The Emergency Call Handling with RedSky feature can be done without using Cisco Emergency Responder emergency call routing. Note Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose User Management > User Settings > Service Profile. Step 2 Click Add New. Step 3 Enter a Name and Description for the chosen Service Profile Configuration. Note Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 653 Custom Features Configure Service Profile

chunk 647

For each UC service that you want to be a part of this profile, assign the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary connections for that service. The fields in the Service Profile Configuration window vary depending on which UC service you configure. Step 4 In the Emergency Calling Profile section, perform the following: a) Check Enable Emergency Calling to enable configuration parameters to endpoints and soft clients to update location and send emergency calls to the Emergency Calling Service Provider. b) Enter the Company ID and Passphrase provided by the Emergency Calling Service Provider when the account is created, and service is enabled in the Organization ID and Secret field. For example, 32-character alphanumeric string provided by RedSky. c) Enter the passphrase required by the Emergency Calling Service Provider Authorization Service in the Secret field. For example, 16-character alphanumeric string provided by RedSky. d) Enter the URL that the device uses to request and set the location in the Location URL field. e) Enter the Emergency Service Numbers. By default, 911, 933 is entered with a comma separating each number. Note When Webex client dials any emergency pattern configured in Emergency Numbers, it will be routed with Geolocation headers to the RedSky server configured in the SIP Trunk. Step 5 Complete the remaining fields in the Service Profile Configuration window. For detailed field descriptions, see the online Help. Step 6 Click Save. Assign the Service Profile Use this procedure to assign the created service profile to the Webex client end-user. If Webex is not registered to Unified CM, the end-user will not be active and does not route the emergency calls to RedSky. You can apply the Service Profile to an end-user to assign the UC services configuration settings in the Service Profile to that end user. You can configure different service profiles for different groups of users in the organization so that each group of users has the right services configured for their job. Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose User Management > End User. Step 2 In the Find and List Users window, perform either of the following: a) Click Add New to configure a new user. b) Specify the filters in the Find User Where field and then click Find to retrieve a list of users. Note For more information on associating a device with a user, see the Associate Devices to End User section in Cisco Emergency Responder Administration Guide .

Step 4 Complete the remaining fields in the End User Configuration window. For detailed field descriptions, see the online help. Step 5 Click Save. Setting Up the SIP Route Pattern for Routing Calls Use this procedure to create SIP Route Pattern with the domain name and associate the same with the previously created SIP trunk. All emergency calls that are routed to the Emergency Provider must match a route pattern. The route pattern directs the call to a Route Group, Route List, and SIP Trunk or PRI gateway that can reach the RedSky server. PRI - RedSky provides the customer an account-specific access number. In this case, the number is the customer ID and the CALLING PARTY is the user reference. It follows traditional RP/RG/RL/GW redundancy. The calling party number must match the RedSky user’s ID. We recommend using SIP Trunks to connect with the RedSky server. For dedicated instances, this is the default method. For customers having an on-premises deployment of Unified Communications Manager on-premises, you must configure the SIP Trunk, Route Group and Route List before creating the route pattern that will be used to reach the RedSky server. If using a SIP trunk, the administrator must use a predefined LUA script to ensure proper customer identification. For Unified CM deployments, you must upload the script and apply it to the SIP Trunk. The LUA script allows for only one parameter, which is the RedskyOrgID. Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Call Routing > SIP Route Pattern. Step 2 Click Add New to add the RedSky route pattern. Step 3 From the Pattern Usage drop-down, choose Domain Routing. Step 4 Enter the route string in the IPv4 Pattern or IPv6 Pattern field depending on whether you are deploying the IPv4 or IPv6 address. Step 5 Choose a RedSky SIP trunk in the SIP Trunk/Route List* drop-down. Step 6 (Optional) Click the Edit link to view or change the Trunk Configuration details. Step 7 Complete the remaining fields in the SIP Route Pattern Configuration window. For detailed field descriptions, see the online Help. Step 8 Click Save.

In Cisco Unified CM Administration, you can view synced groups in the User Groups window. This feature also helps administrators to: • Provision users with similar characteristics traits with a comment set of features (for example, the sales and accounting teams). • Target messages to all users in a specific group. • Configure uniform access for all members of a specific group This feature also helps Cisco Jabber users to quickly build contact lists of users who shares common traits. Cisco Jabber users can search the external LDAP Directory for user groups and then add them to their contact list. For example, a Jabber user can search the external LDAP directory and add the sales group to a contact list, thereby adding all of the sales team members into the contact list as well. If the group gets updated in the external directory, the user's contact list is updated automatically. Enterprise Groups is supported with Microsoft Active Directory on Windows as the external LDAP directory. If you disable the Enterprise Groups feature, Cisco Jabber users cannot search for enterprise groups or see the groups that they already added to their contact lists. If a user is already logged in when you disable the feature, the group will be visible until the user logs out. When the user logs in again, the group will not be visible Note Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 657

Security Groups Security Groups are a subfeature of Enterprise Groups. Cisco Jabber users can also search for, and add, security groups to their contact list. To set up this feature, administrators must configure a customized LDAP filter and apply it to the configured LDAP directory sync. Security Groups are supported with Microsoft Active Directory only. Maximum Allowed Entries When configuring Enterprise Groups, make sure that you configure contact list maximums that handle groups • The maximum number of entries that are allowed in a contact list is the sum of the number of entries in the contact list and the number of entries in groups that are already added to the contact list. • Maximum entries in contact list = (number of entries in contact list) + (number of entries in groups) • When the Enterprise Groups feature is enabled, Cisco Jabber users can add the groups to the contact list if the number of entries in the contact list is less than the maximum allowed entries. If the maximum allowed entries is exceeded while the feature is disabled, the users are not restricted until the feature is enabled. If the user continues to be logged in after the feature is enabled, no error message is displayed. When the user logs out and logs in again, an error message is displayed that asks the users to clear the excess entries. Enterprise Groups Prerequisites This feature assumes that you already have an LDAP Directory sync schedule configured with the below conditions. For details on how to configure an LDAP Directory sync, see the "Import Users from LDAP Directory" chapter of the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. • The Cisco DirSync service must be activated • The LDAP Directory sync must include both users and groups • Regular LDAP Directory syncs, as configured with the LDAP Directory Synchronization Schedule must be scheduled.

Figure 12: Enterprise Groups Deployment Model 1 Enterprise Groups Deployment Model 2 In this deployment model, Cluster 1 synchronizes all the users and groups from Microsoft Active Directory. Cluster 2 synchronizes only users from Microsoft Active Directory. The Cisco Intercluster Sync Agent service replicates groups information from Cluster 1 into Cluster 2. If you are using this deployment model, ensure that you synchronize the groups data in only one cluster. The Enterprise Groups feature will not work as expected if you fail to do so. You can verify your configuration on the Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Administration > Presence > Inter-Clustering window. Check the status of the Enterprise Groups LDAP Configuration parameter in the Inter-cluster peer table. No conflict found means there are no misconfigurations between peers. If there are conflicts found, click the Enterprise GroupConflicts link, and click the details button which appears. This opens a Reporting window for a detailed report.

Figure 13: Enterprise Groups Deployment Model 2 Enterprise Groups Limitations Table 60: Enterprise Groups Limitations Description Limitation When a Cisco Jabber user enables the "Block Everyone" feature from within their Cisco Jabber policy settings, the block prevents other Jabber users from viewing or exchanging IMs and Presence with the blocking user, unless they are listed as a contact in the blocking user's contact list. For example, a Cisco Jabber user (Andy) has enabled Block everyone within his personal Jabber settings. The following list breaks down how Andy's block affects other Jabber users whom may or may not be included in Andy's personal contact list. In addition to the block, Andy has a personal contact list that: • Includes Bob—Because Bob is in Andy's personal contact list, he can still send IMs and view Andy's presence despite the block. • Omits Carol—Carol cannot view Andy's presence or send IMs due to the block.. • Omits Deborah as a personal contact. However, Deborah is a member of an enterprise group that Andy has listed as a contact—Deborah is blocked from viewing Andy's presence or sending IMs to Andy. Note that Deborah is blocked from viewing Andy's presence, or sending IMs to Andy, despite the fact that she is a member of an enterprise group in Andy's contact list. For additional details on enterprise group contacts behavior, see CSCvg48001.

Description Limitation Enterprise Groups is supported for releases 11.0(1) and higher. If the synced group includes group members from a 10.x intercluster peer, users on the higher cluster cannot view the presence of synced members from the 10.x cluster. This is due to database updates that were introduced in 11.0(1) for the Enterprise Groups sync. These updates are not a part of the 10.x releases. To guarantee that users homed on the higher cluster can view the presence of group members homed on the 10.x cluster, users on the higher cluster should manually add the 10.x users to their contact lists. There are no presence issues for manually added users. Intercluster peering with a 10.x cluster Multilevel grouping is not allowed for the group sync. Multilevel grouping When a user group and users are present in the same search base, group-only synchronization is not allowed. Instead, the user group as well as the users are synchronized. Group-only synchronization You can synchronize a maximum of 15000 user groups from Microsoft Active Directory server to the Unified Communications Manager database. Each user group can contain from 1 to 200 users. You can configure the exact amount on the Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Administration > System > Service Parameters window. The maximum number of user accounts in the database cannot exceed 160,000. Maximum number of user groups If a user group is moved from one organization unit to another, you must perform a full sync on the original unit followed by a full sync on the new unit. User group migration Local groups are not supported. Only groups synchronized from Microsoft Active Directory are supported. Local groups Group members that are not assigned to IM and Presence Service nodes display in the contact list with the presence bubble greyed out. However, these members are considered when calculating a maximum numbers of users allowed in the contact list. Group members not assigned to IM and Presence Service nodes During migration from Microsoft Office Communication Server, the Enterprise Groups feature is not supported until users are fully migrated to the IM and Presence Service node. Migration from Microsoft Office Communication Server If you change the synchronization option in the LDAP Directory Configuration window while the synchronization is in progress, the existing synchronization remains unaffected. For example, if you change the synchronization option from Users and Groups to Users Only when the synchronization is in progress, the users and groups synchronization still continues.

Description Limitation Group search functionality over the Edge is offered in this release, but has not been fully tested. As a result, full support for group searches over the Edge cannot be guaranteed. Full support is expected to be offered in a future release. Group search functionality over the Edge If a group name or a group member name is updated in the external LDAP directory, it gets updated on the Cisco Jabber contact list only after the periodic Cisco Intercluster Sync Agent service synchronization. Typically, the Cisco Intercluster Sync Agent service synchronization occurs every 30 minutes. Cisco Intercluster Sync Agent service periodic synchronization If users and user groups are synchronized into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database as part of the same synchronization agreement, the user and group association gets updated as expected in Cisco Unified Communications Manager database after synchronization. However, if a user and user group are synchronized as part of different synchronization agreements, the user and the group may not get associated in the database after the first synchronization. The user and group association in the database depends on the sequence in which the synchronization agreements are processed. If the users are synchronized ahead of the groups, then the groups may not be available in the database for association. In such cases, you must ensure that the synchronization agreement with groups is scheduled ahead of the synchronization agreement with the users. Otherwise, after the groups synchronize into the database, the users will get associated with the groups after the next manual or periodic sync with the sync type set as Users and Groups. Users and corresponding group info will be mapped only when the agreement sync type is set as Users and Groups . Synchronization of users and user groups through different synchronization agreements in LDAP configuration Tested Scenario In a Intercluster deployment with two clusters Cluster A and Cluster B: Cluster A has 15K OVA and 15K users enabled for IM and Presence Service out of 160K users that are synced from Active Directory. The tested and supported average number of enterprise groups per user on 15K OVA cluster is 13 enterprise groups . Cluster B has 25K OVA and 25K users enabled for IM and Presence Service out of 160K users that are synced from Active Directory. The tested and supported average number of enterprise groups per user on 25K OVA is 8 enterprise groups. The tested and supported sum of user's personal contacts in roster and the contacts from enterprise groups that are in a user's roster is less than or equal to 200.

Step 3 Check the Cisco Headset Service check box from the CM Services section and select Save. What to do next Prepare your Headset COP Files. Prepare Your Headset COP Files You can install and upgrade the latest headset firmware using a COP file. A headset COP file contains all the firmware versions of different headset or accessories models along with their configuration data. Ensure that the Cisco Headset service is up and running before the COP file is installed. Ensure that the headset COP file is installed on all nodes of Unified Communications Manager. Note 1. Install or upgrade the COP file to the Unified Communications Manager system before you can start using your Cisco headsets or accessories. When you connect your headset or accessories to the endpoints, the headset and accessories template configuration changes are applied. If you make any updates to the headset and accessories template configurations on Unified Communications Manager, the endpoints apply these configuration updates on the connected headsets or accessories. All configuration updates depend on the version of the headset and accessories template in the COP file. If the headset and accessories template version is higher in the latest COP file, the configuration file on Unified Communications Manager is updated. If the configuration file in the COP file is upgraded, the headset and accessories template version in Unified Communications Manager is updated irrespective of the version of the template and vice versa. The following list shows the various template version update scenarios after a COP file upgrade: • If the Unified Communications Manager is currently installed with the headset and accessories template version 1-10 and you upgrade your Unified Communications Manager server that has headset and accessories template version 1-12, then the chosen headset and accessories template version is 1-12. Unified Communications Manager opts for the higher headset and accessories template version. • If the Unified Communications Manager is currently installed with the headset and accessories template version 1-10 and you upgrade your Unified Communications Manager server that has headset and accessories template version 1-9, then the chosen headset and accessories template version is 1-10. Unified Communications Manager opts for the higher headset and accessories template version. • If the Unified Communications Manager is currently installed with the headset and accessories template version 1-10 and you install a COP file that has headset and accessories template version 1-12, then the chosen headset and accessories template version is 1-12. Headset and accessories template installed with the COP files is the preferred option. • If the Unified Communications Manager is currently installed with the headset and accessories template version 1-10 and you install a COP file that has headset and accessories template version 1-9, then the chosen headset and accessories template version is 1-9. Headset and accessories template installed with the COP files is the preferred option.

• If you had a COP file installed that has headset and accessories template version 1-12 and you upgrade your Unified Communications Manager server having headset and accessories template version 1-10, then the chosen headset and accessories template version is 1-12. Unified Communications Manager opts for the higher headset and accessories template version. Configure User Profiles for Headset Users If you haven't yet configured User Profiles for your users, use this procedure to set up profiles. Your headset and accessories templates will be assigned to users via their User Profile. If you've already configured User Profiles, you can skip this task. Configure multiple User Profiles for different groups of users as per your deployment needs. By default, all User Profiles get assigned to the System default headset template. You can assign them to customized templates when you configure your headset and accessories template. Note Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose User Management > User Settings > User Profile. Step 2 Click Add New. Step 3 Enter a Name and Description for the user profile. Step 4 Assign a Universal Device Template to apply to users' Desk Phones, Mobile and Desktop Devices, and Remote Destination/Device Profiles. Step 5 Assign a Universal Line Template to apply to the phone lines for users in this user profile. Step 6 If you want the users in this user profile to be able to use the self-provisioning feature to provision their own phones, do the following: a) Check the Allow End User to Provision their own phones check box. b) In the Limit Provisioning once End User has this many phones field, enter a maximum number of phones the user is allowed to provision. The maximum is 20. Step 7 If you want Cisco Jabber users associated with this user profile to be able to use the Mobile and Remote Access feature, check the Enable Mobile and Remote Access check box. Note By default, this check box is selected. When you uncheck this check box, the Jabber Policies section is disabled and No Service client policy option is selected by default. Note This setting is mandatory only for Cisco Jabber users. Non-Jabber users do not need this setting to be able to use Mobile and Remote Access. The Mobile and Remote Access feature is applicable only for Jabber Mobile and Remote Access users and not to any other endpoints or clients. Step 8 Assign the Jabber policies for this user profile. From the Jabber Desktop Client Policy, and Jabber Mobile Client Policy drop-down list, choose one of the following options: • No Service—This policy disables access to all Cisco Jabber services. • IM & Presence only—This policy enables only instant messaging and presence capabilities.

Headset and Accessories Template Management You can assign headset and accessories templates to user profiles in Cisco Unified Communications Manager to configure default headset settings for your users. The headset and accessories template provides the option to associate User Profiles. Unified Communications Manager supports the following types of headset and accessories templates: Standard Default Headset Configuration Template This is the system default template that contains the factory default settings for all headset and accessories model series. This template contains the headset or accessories settings supported by the latest headset or accessories firmware installed on your system for all your headset or accessories model series. You cannot edit the default settings though you can change the profile configuration setting. The Standard Default Headset Configuration template is created only when the Cisco Headset Service is activated in the Cisco Unified Serviceability user interface. Note By default, all User Profiles are associated to the standard headset template unless the administrator associates these user profiles to any of the custom defined headset templates. You can make copies of the standard default headset template to create custom template with customized values of the parameters including the headset or accessories firmware version. System Generated Custom Headset Template For some earlier releases that did not support the full Cisco Headset Serviceability feature, administrators could configure and deploy headset and accessories templates manually via the defaultheadsetconfig.json configuration file and TFTP. If you used this method on a previous release, and then upgrade to this release, the config file is converted to the System Generated Custom Headset Template and displays in the Headset and Accessories Configuration Template window. Following the upgrade, users and devices that used the config file are associated to this custom template. Custom Headset Configuration Template From Cisco Unified CM Administration, use the Device > Headset and Accessories > Headset and Accessories Template window to customize headset and accessories templates as per your deployment needs. You can assign different headset parameters to different models in the same template. You can also assign different firmware loads to different headset or accessories models. The custom headset or accessories settings can be assigned to specific sets of users by associating the User Profile(s) to the Custom Headset Template.

Firmware Management Most phones and devices connected to the Unified Communications Manager support the Cisco Headset 500 Series and Cisco Headset 700 Series. Install the latest phone firmware release and device package before connecting your headset or accessories to a phone. When the headset or accessories first connects, it downloads the required firmware and begins the upgrade process. For a given headset or accessories model, the following two firmware options are supported: • Remain on current version—Choose this option if you want the headset or accessories to remain on the existing firmware version (that is, the headset or accessories firmware version is not upgraded to the latest system firmware version). • Latest—Choose this option to upgrade or downgrade the headset or accessories. The system installs and runs the chosen software, even if that firmware is an older release from what the headset or accessories currently has. For example, if you choose 1-5-1-10 as the latest, that firmware will be installed on the headset or accessories regardless of whether the headset or accessories currently has 1-5-1-9 or 1-5-1-11. Firmware Considerations • Users assigned to the standard headset template will always receive the latest headset or accessories firmware and settings. • Settings shown in the Headset Template Configuration (both Standard and Custom) are always set to the Latest firmware for all headset and accessories model series.

Note Consider a scenario where the On-premise Onboarding Method option is selected as Auto registration in the Device Defaults Configuration page. While performing the phone migration, if you press either the EXIT or BACK button when an error message is displayed, it takes you directly to the initial phone migration screen after a possible expected delay. This delay is due to the phones trying to re-register to the Unified CM as auto-registration is disabled in the Unified Communications Manager server. Note If there are more than one device for the user with the same primary extension, user will be prompted to choose the device to be migrated. For more information, see Phone Migration Service—User Assigned with Multiple Devices, on page 712. Migrate Phones Using Phone Migration Service (Phone Users) Phone users can use this procedure to migrate to a new Cisco IP Phone using a non-IVR method. After you plug in the phones to the network, the phone will attempt to boot and configure itself. From the default phone load, users get options to select either the 'Provision a new phone' or 'Replace an existing phone'. An end user should perform migration only if they are the owner of the old device. Note If you decide to choose the Retain Existing Phone(s)' option from the When Provisioning a Replacement Phone for an End User enterprise parameter and you migrate the phone using the Phone Template, the old migrated phone configurations details will not be listed in the Find List page. Only the successful new phone migration details are listed.

Migration Scenarios Phones Using Shared Lines Consider a scenario where an old phone has the primary DN shared line with multiple devices. These devices may be owned by the same user or among multiple users. When you try to migrate the old phone with a new Cisco IP Phone using Self-Provisioning IVR or Phone Migration Service methods using a shared line, migration is possible only for users who own the device with the DN as Line 1. Here, the shared lines feature settings are carried over after phone migration. If the old phone does not support the Shared Line feature, the old phones lines are removed after phone migration. The new phone retains the old phones lines after phone migration. Phone Migration Service Running on Proxy TFTP Native phone migration using Phone Migration Service support Cisco proxy TFTP server deployment models. Phone Migration Service running on the proxy TFTP searches for the primary extension on all the remote clusters and redirect the phone to its home or local Phone Migration Service for completing phone migration. In a proxy setup environment, Unified Communications Manager server looks for devices with same DN in a remote cluster. If there is more than one device in the registered or unregistered state with the same DN in any one of the off-cluster, those devices from that particular off-cluster is not considered for phone migration. This is a known limitation for Release 11.5(1)SU8. In Proxy TFTP, after migration, the phone restarts with configuration settings migrated from your old phone. Note that the phone takes 2 reset cycles to restart after successful migration. Note Phone Migration Service—User Assigned with Multiple Devices If there is more than one device for the user with the same primary extension for migration, user will be prompted to choose the device to be migrated.

Phones with Key Expansion Module If the Key Expansion Module (KEM) attached to your old phone is not compatible with your new phone model, you will lose the KEM 'Expansion Module Information' configuration settings on the new phone after phone migration. The following table explains different scenarios: Table 70: KEM Migration Scenarios Expected Behavior After Migration New Phone (Model 88xx) Old Phone (Model 79xx) Scenarios KEM 1 configuration settings are carried over. KEM 1 KEM 1 • KEM 1 attached to the old phone is compatible with the new phone. • User removes the KEM 1 from the old phone and attaches it with the new phone. KEM 1 configuration settings are carried over to KEM 2. KEM 2 KEM 1 • KEM 1 attached to the old phone is incompatible with the new phone. • User attaches a compatible KEM 2 (brand new or used) to the new phone. KEM 1 configuration settings are carried over to KEM 3. KEM 3 KEM 1 • KEM 1 attached to the old phone is deprecated. • User attaches a new KEM 3 to the new phone. Product Specific Configuration Parameters During phone migration, the product-specific parameters of the older phones are also migrated. The new phone considers only the parameters that the phone understands. The remaining parameters are set to their default value. If the ‘Line Mode’ parameter is already configured during phone migration, the ‘Line Mode’ configuration settings are carried over. Else, this parameter is set as ‘Session Line Mode’ by default.

Also, during phone migration, if the "Show All Calls on Primary Line" parameter is configured in the old phone, then the new phone will retain the "Show All Calls on Primary Line" parameter after phone migration. If this parameter is not configured before phone migration, it is enabled by default after phone migration. Phone Button Templates When a SCCP Phone model is migrated to a SIP Phone model, the SIP Phone considers only the parameters that it understands. Else, it takes the default configuration values from the SIP Phone model (for example, Standard SIP Profile). If the old phone had a unique Custom Phone Button Template, then the new phone will retain the Custom Phone Button Template after phone migration. For the Standard Phone Button template, the new device uses the Standard Phone Button Template specific to the phone model.

An administrator can provision settings for Cisco TelePresence endpoints in Unified Communications Manager and then push those Product-Specific Configuration settings to endpoints. Prior to Release 12.5(1)SU1, only a limited set of Product-Specific Configurations were pushed from Unified Communications Manager to the endpoint resulting in a partial configuration of the endpoint. Administrator had to rely on Cisco TelePresence Management Suite or TelePresence Endpoint's web interface to configure all the settings. The Phone Configuration window in Unified Communications Manager contains a complete Product-Specific Configuration layout for Cisco TelePresence endpoints that matches what users see on their endpoint. This update lets administrators apply settings on behalf of users and then push those settings to users. The Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) Phone Template Configuration page also displays the new model-specific configurations in a tabbed layout, supporting the complete list of endpoint parameters. You can import the entire set of parameters or modify a specific parameter in the endpoint in bulk. Note Video endpoints managements feature provides the following benefits: • TelePresence endpoints can be fully provisioned from Unified Communications Manager—Endpoints parameters listed in the Unified Communications Manager user interface are in the same order as listed in the Advanced Configuration settings of your Cisco TelePresence model. For more information on the various advanced parameters, see the respective model in the Collaboration Endpoints Administrator Guides. • New Product-Specific Configuration Layout—New layout details the model-specific configurations in a tabbed layout. This is an upgrade from the earlier flat format that provided access only to a limited Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 717

set of parameters. The new layout ensures that you have a complete list of Cisco TelePresence settings on the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface. • Automatic migration of the configuration data from the video endpoints—This simplifies the deployment of endpoints by automatically synching data from endpoints to Unified Communications Manager and vice versa. Endpoint configurations can be fully restored in case of reset to factory settings or Product Returns & Replacements (RMA) swaps. Any endpoint that supports Collaboration Endpoint (CE) Software 9.8 or higher can use this new provisioning layout for the Product-Specific Configuration fields on the Phone Configuration page. If you are using a CE software version prior to 9.8, you will be able to view all the new set of advanced parameters; but, the new set of parameters functions only if you upgrade your CE Software version to 9.8 or higher. The subset of parameters supported is marked with a “#” to the right of each parameter value in the user interface. You must load a device pack onto Unified Communications Manager if a device type is capable of supporting the new provisioning framework, but does not show the additional parameters.

Upgrade Unified Communications Manager to version 12.5(1)SU1 or later. 2. Endpoints register to Unified Communications Manager. 3. Unified Communications Manager then sends a SIP Notify message to endpoints requesting for the full set of Product-Specific Configuration parameters. 4. Endpoints that are upgraded to CE 9.8 and above send full set of configuration data to Unified Communications Manager (in xConfiguration format) using a SIP REFER message. 5. Unified Communications Manager processes this configuration data and populates the complete list of Cisco TelePresence settings (Advanced Configuration UI) on the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface. Unified Communications Manager server displays the complete endpoint configuration settings in the new layout only if Unified CM is able to successfully back up data from the endpoint. Note Configuration Control Modes Based on the deployment needs, administrators can configure various configuration control modes in the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface. You can decide whether you want to control the configuration settings centrally from the endpoints or Unified Communications Manager or both of them together.

Navigate to the Product-Specific Configuration Layout section on the Phone Configuration page and choose the Configuration Control Mode under “General Settings” in the Miscellaneous tab to control the various modes. Following are the various Configuration Control Modes: • Unified CM and Endpoint (Default)—Use this mode if you want Unified Communications Manager and endpoint to operate as the multi-prime source for provisioning endpoint data. If Unified CM and Endpoint is the configured mode, any update made via an endpoint locally is synched with the Unified CM server. • Unified CM—Use this mode if you want Unified Communications Manager to operate as the centralized primary source for provisioning endpoint data and does not want to accept any configurations done from the endpoints locally. • Endpoint—Use this mode if you want endpoints to operate as the centralized primary source of configuration data. In this mode, endpoint ignores any configuration data from Unified Communications Manager and doesn’t sync back the changes done locally. This mode is typically used when an Audiovisual (AV) integrator is installing the endpoints and wants to control configuration from the endpoint. In the Endpoint mode, CE devices continue to accept that limited set of parameters supported prior to release 12.5(1)SU1. Unified Communications Manager indicates these parameters with a "#" symbol. CE devices will ignore the extended set of parameters supported from the 12.5(1)SU1 release onwards. Note On-demand Configuration Pull Functionality Administrators can use the Get Config from Phone option to pull configuration changes from the CE 9.8 endpoint devices on-demand at that given point. Navigate to the Product-Specific Configuration Layout section on the Phone Configuration page and click the Get Config from Phone button on the top corner of the page to pull any data configuration from the CE 9.8 endpoints on-demand. This option is enabled only if the endpoint is in the registered state. Video Endpoints Migration Report Video Endpoint with Extended Configuration Backup is the new filter is introduced on the Find and List Phones window for release 12.5(1)SU1. Administrators can search for details on how many CE endpoints got migrated automatically and how many CE endpoints did not. Based on this information, they can take corrective measures. In the Find and List Phones window, the Video Endpoint with Extended Configuration Backup filter is applicable only for video endpoints running Collaboration Endpoint (CE) Software 9.8 or higher. Note Provisioning and Migration Scenarios The following table describe various provisioning and migration scenarios.

Table 72: Provisioning and Migration Scenarios for Video Endpoints What to do Existing Configuration Summary Task With Unified CM at a minimum release 12.5(1)SU1 and the CE endpoint at 9.8, you can provision new endpoints and manage the product-specific configurations from Unified CM. • Brand new device • Device is not provisioned on Unified CM • No existing settings on the device or on Unified CM Provisioning New Video Endpoints If you are migrating existing video endpoints from a Cisco TelePresence Video Communications Server to Cisco Unified Communications Manager: Adding Phones via Phone Configuration window in Unified CM: • Add the phone to Unified CM, but DO NOT CLICK Save. • Register the phone. After registration, the existing Advanced Configuration settings from the phone are uploaded to Unified CM and display in Product-Specific Configurations in the Phone Configuration window. • In the Phone Configuration window, configure the new settings and click Save. The provisioned settings download to the phone. For a detailed procedure, see Add Migrating Video Endpoint to Unified CM, on page 722 Adding Phones via Bulk Administration Make sure that the csv file or BAT Template that you use for provisioning does not include the Product-Specific Configuration fields.

What to do Existing Configuration Summary Task So long as the CE endpoint is at a supported version, when you upgrade Unified CM, the Advanced Configuration settings from the endpoint get pulled into Unified CM automatically following device registration and display under the Product-Specific Configuration section of the Phone Configuration window. After registration, you can set the Configuration Control Mode in addition to whatever settings you want. • Existing device • Device is provisioned on a pre-12.5 release of Unified CM • Unified CM has a limited set of Product-Specific Configuration settings for the device Upgrading from an Earlier Release of Unified CM with Registered Video Endpoints Add Migrating Video Endpoint to Unified CM If you are migrating existing Cisco TelePresence Video Endpoints from a Cisco TelePresence Video Communications Server to Unified Communications Manager, use this procedure to add the CE endpoint into Unified CM via the Phone Configuration window so that the existing Advanced Configurations from the endpoint can be managed from the Phone Configuration window in Unified CM. Make sure to follow this procedure closely. The settings from the endpoint do not automatically upload to Unified CM until after device registration. Note This procedure uses the Add New from Template setting in the Unified CM Phone Configuration window. You can also use tools like Bulk Administration or AXL to add the endpoint. Note Before you begin It's highly recommended that you upgrade firmware to CE 9.8 or higher before you migrate. With CE 9.7 or earlier, Unified CM overwrites the existing endpoint configuration during registration with default settings. Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Device > Phone. Step 2 Click Add New from Template and enter the following phone details: • Select the model from the Phone Type drop-down list. • Enter the MAC Address of the endpoint • From the Device Template, select a Universal Device Template. • Select the Directory Number that you want to add to the phone. If none exists, click New and configure a directory number. • From the User drop-down list, select the user whom will own the device.

Step 3 Click Add. The Phone Configuration displays with the universal device template settings filling out the phone configuration. The Product-Specific Configuration section also appears, but with default settings, rather than the existing settings from the phone. Note You can also add the device using the Phone Configuration window's Add New, but this method requires that you enter settings manually. Step 4 DO NOT CLICK Save. If you save settings, Unified CM does not load existing settings from the phone. If you saved by mistake, go straight to the troubleshooting Note at the bottom of this procedure for recovery steps. Step 5 Register the phone. During registration, the existing Advanced Configuration settings from the phone get pulled into Unified CM and display in the Phone Configuration window's Product-Specific Configuration section. Step 6 In the Phone Configuration window, configure how you want endpoint settings to be managed by configuring the Configuration Control Mode field: • Unified CM and Endpoint (Default)—Use this mode if you want Unified Communications Manager and endpoint to operate as the multi-prime source for provisioning endpoint data. If Unified CM and Endpoint is the configured mode, any update made via an endpoint locally is synched with the Unified CM , and any change made on Unified CM syncs to the endpoint. • Unified CM—Use this mode if you want Unified Communications Manager to operate as the centralized primary source for provisioning endpoint data and does not want to accept any configurations done from the endpoints locally. • Endpoint—Use this mode if you want endpoints to operate as the centralized primary source of configuration data. In this mode, the endpoint maintains existing settings, ignores any configuration data from Unified Communications Manager, and doesn’t sync back the changes done locally. This mode is typically used when an Audiovisual (AV) integrator is installing the endpoints and wants to control configuration from the endpoint. Note If you want to maintain existing settings on the endpoint, it's recommended to choose Endpoint mode, at least until after the endpoint has completed the registration process in full. You can switch the configuration to one of the other modes after you complete this procedure. Step 7 Configure any phone settings that you want. For more information on the fields and their configuration options, see Online Help. Step 8 Click Save. The provisioned settings in Unified Communications Manager download to the endpoint.

If you clicked Save mistakenly in the Phone Configuration window prior to device registration, the existing Advanced Configuration settings from the endpoint will not load to Unified CM when the device registers. To recover, do the following prior to device registration: • In Unified CM, set the Configuration Control Mode to Endpoint and click Save. • Let the phone register to Unified CM. • After registration, return to the device configuration in the Phone Configuration window and click the Get Config from Device button. The setting results in the existing Advanced Configurations on the phone getting pulled into Unified CM. Note that this button does not appear until after device registration. • Return to Step 6 of the procedure in order to complete the configuration.

When you configure external call control, Unified Communications Manager issues a route request that contains the calling party and called party information to the adjunct route server. That server receives the request, applies appropriate business logic, and returns a route response that instructs your system on how to route the call and any additional call treatment to apply. The adjunct router influences how your system allows, diverts, or denies calls; modifies calling and called party information; plays announcements to callers; resets call history so that adjunct voicemail and IVR servers can properly interpret calling and called party information; and logs reason codes that indicate why calls were diverted or denied. External call control provides the following functions: • Best Quality Voice Routing—The adjunct route server monitors network link availability, bandwidth usage, latency, jitter, and MOS scores to ensure that calls are routed through voice gateways that deliver the best voice quality to all call participants. • Least Cost Routing—The adjunct route server is configured with carrier contract information such as local access and transport area (LATA) and inter-LATA rate plans, trunking costs, and burst utilization costs to ensure that calls are routed over the most cost effective links. • Ethical Wall—The adjunct route server is configured with corporate policies that determine reachability, for example, whether user 1 is allowed to call user 2.

Configure the Chaperone Function Configure chaperone functionality if your routing rules from the route server state that a chaperone must monitor or record a call. A chaperone is a designated phone user who can announce company policies in the call, monitor the call, and record the call. Unified Communications Manager provides the following capabilities to support chaperone functionality, as directed by the adjunct route server: • Redirect an incoming call to a chaperone, hunt group, or a list of chaperones. • Provide a chaperone with the ability to record a call. When the chaperone is connected to the caller or when the chaperoned conference is established, the Record softkey or programmable line key (PLK) (depending on the phone model) is active on the phone so that the chaperone can invoke call recording. Call recording occurs for only the current call, and call recording stops when the current call ends. Messages that indicate the status of recording may display on the phone when the chaperone presses the recording softkey or PLK. Procedure Step 1 For phones on which you want to enable recording, set the Built-in-Bridge to On in the Phone Configuration window. Step 2 Create a recording profile: a) Choose Device > Device Settings > Recording Profile. b) Create a Call Recording Profile for the phones that can record chaperoned conferences.

External Call Control Interactions Table 73: External Call Control Interactions Interaction Feature You can set up routing rules on the adjunct route server that determine which gateway to use for a call, taking voice quality into consideration. For example, gateway A provides the best voice quality, so it is used for the call. In this case, the adjunct route server monitors network link availability, bandwidth usage, latency, jitter, and mean opinion scores (MOS) to ensure that calls are routed through voice gateways that deliver the best voice quality to all call participants. Best Call Quality Routing External Call Control functions can be displayed in call detail records; for example, the call detail record can indicate whether the adjunct route server permitted or rejected a call. In addition, the call detail record can indicate whether Unified Communications Manager blocked or allowed calls during which it did not receive a decision from the adjunct route server. Call Detail Records External Call Control intercepts calls at the translation pattern level, while Call Forward intercepts calls at the directory number level. External Call Control has a higher priority than Call Forward; for calls that invoke Call Forward, Unified Communications Manager sends a routing query to the adjunct route server if the translation pattern is assigned to an External Call Control profile. Call Forward is triggered only when the adjunct route server sends a Permit decision with a Continue obligation to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Note The Call Diversion Hop Count service parameter that supports External Call Control and the Call Forward Call Hop Count service parameter that supports Call Forward are independent of each other. Call Forward When a phone user tries to pick up a call by using the Call Pickup feature, External Call Control is not invoked; Unified Communications Manager does not send a routing query to the adjunct route server for that portion of the call. Call Pickup A chaperone is a designated phone user who can announce company policies to the call, monitor the call, and record the call, if required. Chaperone restrictions exist so that the parties that are involved in the call cannot converse without the presence of the chaperone.

Interaction Feature Unified Communications Manager allows the route decision from the adjunct route server for the following Cisco Unified Mobility features: • Mobile Voice Access • Enterprise Feature Access • Dial-via-Office Reverse Callback Unified Communications Manager does not send a routing query for the following Cisco Unified Mobility features: • Cell pickup • Desk pickup • Session handoff Cisco Unified Mobility When a phone user creates a conference, External Call Control may be invoked for the primary call and consultative call. Conferences When you configure directory numbers as four- or five-digit extensions (enterprise extensions), you need to configure two translation patterns if on-net dialing supports four or five digits. One translation pattern supports globalizing the calling and called numbers, and a second translation pattern supports localizing the calling and called numbers. Directory Numbers By default, the DND setting for the user takes effect when the user rule on the adjunct route server indicates that the adjunct route server sent a continue obligation. For example, if the adjunct route server sends a continue obligation, and the user has DND-R enabled, Unified Communications Manager rejects the call. Do Not Disturb Caution We strongly recommend that you configure a very explicit set of patterns for emergency calls (for example, 911 or 9.11) so that the calls route to their proper destination (for example, to Cisco Emergency Responder or a gateway) without having to contact the route server for instructions on how to handle the call. Emergency Call Handling When a phone user transfers a call, External Call Control may be invoked for both the primary call and consultative call. However, Unified Communications Manager cannot enforce any routing rules from the adjunct route server between the party that transfers and the target of the transfer.

External Call Control Restrictions Table 74: External Call Control Restrictions Description Restriction The chaperone cannot use the phone to add parties to a conference after the conference begins, because the call must be put on hold for the chaperone to add parties. The other parties on the conference may add additional parties to the conference. The configuration for the Advanced Ad Hoc Conference Enabled service parameter, which supports the Cisco CallManager service, determines whether other parties can add participants to the conference. If the service parameter is set to True, other parties can add participants to the conference. Adding Parties The chaperone cannot use the phone to transfer the conference call to another party. Call Transfer When the chaperone leaves the conference, the entire conference ends. Conference Log Out After the chaperone creates a conference, the Conference softkey, if available, is disabled on the phone. Conference Softkey The chaperone cannot use the phone to put the conference call on hold. Hold If the chaperone starts recording before the feature makes a consultative call to the party that will join the conference, Unified Communications Manager suspends recording while the chaperone makes the consultative call; recording resumes after the conference is established.

An administrator can set the default so callers receive an initial greeting announcement before the call is extended to an agent or the default can be changed so the initial announcement plays only after the caller is put in the queue followed by Music On Hold or Tone On Hold. If the caller remains in queue for a specified period of time, a secondary announcement is played at a configured interval until the call can be answered or until the maximum wait timer expires. When an incoming call reaches the hunt pilot, the following functions are provided: • A caller may be connected to an initial customizable greeting announcement before proceeding. • If one or more line members are logged in to the hunt pilot and are in an idle state, and if no calls are queued, the call is extended to the line member that has been idle for the longest period of time. • If no line members answer a call, that caller is not placed in queue. The call is routed to a new destination or disconnected, based on the setting When no hunt members answer, are logged in, or registered. • If a line member does not answer a queue-enabled call, that line member is logged off the hunt group only if the setting Automatically Logout Hunt Member on No Answer is selected in the Line Group setting window. • Calls are placed in queue only if all members are busy. • A caller who is waiting in queue may hear Music On Hold and a repeating (customizable) periodic announcement. • After a line member becomes idle, the caller with the longest wait time across multiple hunt groups is extended to the idle line member. If the idle line member does not answer the call, the caller is returned to the previous position in the queue.

• If a queued call exceeds its maximum wait time or the maximum number of callers allowed in queue is exceeded, the call can be routed to an alternate number or it can be disconnected, depending on how the hunt pilot is configured. The alternate number can be one of the following: • A hunt pilot DN with queuing either enabled or disabled • A voicemail DN • A line DN • A shared DN • Line members can display the queue status of their queue-enabled hunt pilots. The queue status display provides the following types of information: • Hunt pilot pattern • Number of queued callers on each hunt pilot • Longest waiting time Call queuing works in conjunction with existing hunt pilots, but there are no changes in the behavior of the hunting operation for either queuing or nonqueuing hunt pilots. Hunt pilots that have call queuing enabled provide the following features: • Queuing-enabled hunt pilot calls can only be received by line members one call at a time. Two queuing-enabled hunt pilot calls cannot be offered to a line member. A line member can receive calls directly to the DN or from non-queuing hunt pilots. • Line members who do not answer calls that are routed by hunt pilots are automatically logged out. A line member is automatically logged out of a device if the line member receives a queuing-enabled hunt pilot call and does not answer the call before timeout occurs. In the case of a shared-line deployment, all devices configured with the same shared line are logged out. You can configure this behavior from the Line Group setting window by selecting Automatically Logout Hunt Member on No Answer. Line members are logged out only if this check box is checked. For information about Call Queuing monitoring or announcements monitoring, see Cisco Unified Real Time Monitoring Tool Administration Guide. You can configure the inbound calls to change to the connected call state before playing the queuing announcement while the call is extended to a hunt member in the queuing-enabled hunt pilot. Secure Call Queuing This section is applicable from Release 14SU2 onwards. Important When a secure call is placed to Hunt Pilot and all the Line Groups are busy, callers waiting in the queue hear Music On Hold and repeating (customizable) periodic announcements until a live agent answers the call. During this process, the call is temporarily placed on hold. If the endpoint does not support SRTP fallback, the call placed to Parking Lot (non-secure device) drops off due to the crypto mismatch. Unified Communications Manager has now enhanced the secure call support to Native Call Queuing, enabling crypto capabilities of a temporary hold call and avoiding call drop-offs.

Depending on the size of the original file, processing may take several minutes to complete. Note Uploading an audio source file to an MOH server uploads the file only to one MOH server. You must upload an audio source file to each MOH server in a cluster by using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration on each server. MOH audio source files do not automatically propagate to other MOH servers in a cluster. Upload File Configure Hunt Pilot Queuing When a hunt pilot has more calls distributed through the call distribution feature than its hunt members can handle at any given time, call queuing holds these calls in a queue until they can be answered. When queuing is enabled, both Forward Hunt No Answer and Forward Hunt Busy are automatically disabled. Conversely, if Forward Hunt No Answer or Forward Hunt Busy is enabled, queuing is automatically disabled. Procedure Step 1 In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, select Call Routing > Route/Hunt > Hunt Pilot to configure hunt pilots. Step 2 Select the hunt pilot that you need to configure for Queuing. Step 3 Navigate to the Queuing section of the Hunt Pilot Configuration window. Step 4 Check the Queue Calls check box to enable queuing. Step 5 Choose a Music On Hold (MoH) source from the drop-down list box to be used to play announcements and provide queue hold treatments. The MoH source can be configured as unicast or multicast. The caller-side Media Resource Group List (MRGL) takes precedence for multicast or unicast. If you do not select a source, the default Network Hold MoH/MoH Source and Announcements is used. The MoH source announcement locale is used to determine the language used for the announcement. Only one type of language announcement can be played per hunt pilot.

Step 5 Click Save. Call Queuing Interactions Interaction Feature If a call is routed to a queuing-enabled hunt pilot through SIP ICT, the SIP ICT uses the SIP profile that has SIP Rel1XX Options set to Send PRACK if 1XX contains SDP. As a result, the initial announcement is played to every call before the call is extended to the line member. The above existing interaction for SIP ICT does not apply if Connect Inbound Call before Playing Queuing Announcement checkbox is checked under DeviceDevice Settings SIP Profile > Trunk Specific Configuration in Cisco Unified CM Administration. If Connect Inbound Call before Playing Queuing Announcement checkbox is not checked the interaction for SIP ICT remains the same. However, it does not guarantee the initial announcement can always be heard by a caller from the PSTN side. The initial announcement will not be heard by a caller from the PSTN side if the PSTN provider doesn't open the voice path until a Connect message is received on the call. SIP Rel1XX Options • The logoff notification functionality for hunt groups changes when Call Queuing is enabled for a hunt pilot. If Call Queuing is enabled for a hunt pilot, the Hunt Group Logoff Notification does not play when users log out of a hunt group or are logged off because they missed their turn in the queue. • If the hunt list has multiple line groups, these line groups must have the same setting for Automatically Logout Hunt Member on No Answer. • Hunt Pilot still queues calls, even when all hunt members are logged out.The line group members should not be added in more than one line group and even if they are added in second line groups, those second line groups should not be in the same Hunt list. • All hunt options must be set to Try Next Member, then Try Next Group in the hunt list. Hunt Pilots and Hunt Groups Call Queuing Restrictions The following general restrictions apply to call queuing: • H.323 Fast Start does not support Call Queuing. • Queue status PLK is supported only with the following LCD display phones for both SCCP and SIP: 6921, 6941, 6945, 6961, 7911G, 7931G, 7942G, 7945G, 7962G, 7965G, 7975G, 8961, 8945, 8941, 9951, 9971, 7800 and 8800 series. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 746 Advanced Call Processing Call Queuing Interactions

chunk 739

• Log Out of Hunt Groups (HLog) is not compatible with Cisco Extension Mobility Cross Cluster (EMCC); Call Queuing should not be deployed with EMCC. • Unified Communications Manager does not support Unified Mobility with Call Queuing. • In a H323 to SIP interworking scenario, the user may not hear initial announcement, MoH, periodic announcement or observe call failure in a native call queuing flow due to interworking delays. In such a scenario it is advised to use only SIP protocol. Performance and Scalability for Hunt Pilots with Call Queuing The following performance and scalability restrictions apply: • A single Unified CM Cluster supports a maximum of 15,000 hunt list devices. • A single Unified CM Subscriber supports a maximum of 100 hunt pilots with call queuing enabled per node • Hunt list devices may be a combination of 1500 hunt lists with ten IP phones in each hunt list, 750 hunt lists with twenty IP phones in each hunt list, or similar combinations When using the broadcast algorithm for call coverage, the number of hunt list devices is limited by the number of busy hour call attempts (BHCA). Note that a BHCA of 10 on a hunt pilot pointing to a hunt list or hunt group containing 10 phones and using the broadcast algorithm is equivalent to 10 phones with a BHCA of 10. Note • The maximum number of hunt pilots is 100 per Unified CM subscriber node with call queue enabled when configured with 32 callers which is allowed in the queue. The total number of queue slots per node (the value of "Maximum Number of Callers Allowed in Queue" for all Call Queuing Enabled Hunt Pilots on the node combined) is limited to 3200. The maximum number of simultaneous callers in a queue for each hunt pilot is 100, meaning 100 callers per hunt pilot is allowed in a queue and the maximum number of hunt pilots is reduced to 32. The maximum number of members across all hunt lists does not change when call queuing is enabled. • The maximum wait time in queue for each hunt pilot that you can configure ranges from 0 to 3600 seconds (default 900). An increase in the number of hunt lists can require you to increase the dial plan initialization timer that is specified in the Unified Communications Manager service parameters. We recommend that you set the dial plan initialization timer to 600 seconds if you have 1500 hunt lists configured. • We recommend having no more than 35 directory numbers for a single line group when using broadcast algorithms with call queuing. Additionally, the number of broadcast line groups depends on the busy hour call completion rate (BHCC). If there are multiple broadcast line groups in a Unified CM system, the number of maximum directory numbers in a line group must be less than 35. The number of busy hour call attempts (BHCA) for all the broadcast line groups should not exceed 35 calls set up per second.

C H A P T E R 61 Configure Call Throttling • Call Throttling Overview, on page 749 • Call Throttling Configuration Task Flow, on page 750 Call Throttling Overview Call Throttling allows your system to automatically throttle or deny new call attempts. The system takes this action when conditions cause users to experience a delay in the interval between going off hook and receiving a dial tone. Some factors that can result in this delay are as follows: • Heavy call activity • Low CPU availability • Routing loops • Disk I/O limitations • Disk fragmentation The system uses the values that are specified in the call throttling parameters to determine a possible delay to dialtone and also to determine when conditions no longer require call throttling. When throttling is necessary to prevent excessive delay to dialtone, the system enters a Code Yellow state and new call attempts are throttled (denied). When the system calculates the delay to dialtone as being over the threshold that is configured in the call throttling service parameters, Unified Communications Manager rejects new calls. When call throttling activates, a user who attempts a new call receives a reorder tone and, depending on the phone model, may also receive a prompt on the phone display. Call throttling effectively prevents the type of excessive delays that can cause a user to complain to the system administrator or question whether the system is down or the phone is broken. Your system constantly monitor the system to anticipate when such latency could occur. When the delay to dialtone is within the guidelines of the call throttling service parameters, Unified Communications Manager stops throttling calls by exiting the Code Yellow state and new calls are again allowed.

For example, under regulatory constraints in India, all calls that are received from or sent to an external phone must be handed off to and carried by a local or long-distance service provider over the full length of the connection, with the applicable toll charges. You can create a single Unified Communications Manager cluster that routes calls appropriately to the PSTN or the VoIP network according to the caller's location and the phone number being called. logical partitioning defines which sets of VoIP devices are allowed to communicate with each other. Users do not have to remember to use one line for PSTN and one line for VoIP. Phones making off-net calls are only allowed to talk to a PSTN gateway. It's like having two networks to separately handle your VoIP and PSTN calls, but without the expense of dual infrastructure.

C H A P T E R 63 Configure Location Awareness • Location Awareness Overview, on page 763 • Location Awareness Prerequisites, on page 765 • Location Awareness Configuration Task Flow, on page 765 Location Awareness Overview Meraki Access Points support for Location Awareness is applicable only from Release 12.5(1)SU6 onwards and Release 14SU1 onwards. Important Location Awareness allows administrators to determine the physical location from which a phone connects to the company network. For wireless networks, you can view the wireless access point infrastructure, and which mobile devices currently associate to those access points. For wired networks, you can view the Ethernet switch infrastructure and see which devices are currently connected to those switches. This allows you to determine the building, floor, and cube from which a call was placed. Currently, wired phones do not support Location Awareness. Note You can view your network infrastructure from Cisco Unified CM Administration > Advanced Features > Device Location Tracking Services > Switches and Access Points > Find and List Switches and Access Points window. This feature updates the Unified Communications Manager database dynamically with the following information: • Network infrastructure devices such as switches and wireless access points, including IP addresses, hostnames, and BSSID info (where applicable) for each infrastructure device. • Associated endpoints for each infrastructure device, including: • For wireless networks, the list of devices that are currently associated to a wireless access point. • For wired networks, the list of devices and device types that are currently connected to an ethernet switch.

Cisco Emergency Responder Integration Location Awareness helps integrated applications such as Cisco Emergency Responder to determine the physical location of a user who places an emergency call. When Location Awareness is enabled, Cisco Emergency Responder learns of a new device to infrastructure association within minutes of a mobile device associating with a new wireless access point, or a desk phone being connected to a new ethernet switch. When Cisco Emergency Responder first starts up, it queries the Unified Communications Manager Database for the current device to network infrastructure associations. Every two minutes following, the Cisco Emergency Responder checks for updates to the existing associations. As a result, even if a mobile caller places an emergency call while in a roaming situation, Cisco Emergency Responder can quickly determine the physical location of the caller and send emergency services to the appropriate building, floor, or cube. Wireless Network Updates To enable Location Awareness for your wireless infrastructure, you can configure Unified Communications Manager to synchronize with a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. You can synchronize Unified Communications Manager with up to fifty controllers. During the synchronization process, Unified Communications Manager updates its database with the access point infrastructure that the controller manages. In Cisco Unified CM Administration, you can view the status for your wireless access points, including the list of mobile clients that are associated to each access point. As mobile clients roam between access points, SIP and SCCP signaling from the endpoint communicates the new device to access point association to Unified Communications Manager, which updates its database. Cisco Emergency Responder also learns of the new association by querying the Unified Communications Manager database every few minutes for new endpoints that have changed their association. As a result, if a mobile client places an emergency call, Cisco Emergency Responder has accurate information on the physical location of the user whom placed the call. If you have a regular synchronization schedule for your Wireless Access Point controllers, Unified Communications Manager adds and updates access points from the database dynamically following each synchronization. Using Bulk Administration to insert Access Points If you are using a third-party wireless access point controller, or if you want to export your access points from Cisco Prime Infrastructure, you can use the Bulk Administration Tool to bulk insert your wireless access point infrastructure from a CSV file into the Unified Communications Manager database. Following the bulk insert, the next location update from the mobile device updates the database with the current access point association. However, Bulk Administration does not allow you to update your access point infrastructure dynamically as new access points get added to your wireless network. If a mobile call gets placed through an access point that was added after the bulk insert, that access point will not have a record in the database, Unified Communications Manager will not be able to match the BSSID of the new access point, and will mark the infrastructure for the wireless device as UNIDENTIFIED AP. For detailed information on the Bulk Administration Tool, refer to the "Manage Infrastructure Devices" chapter of the Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Supported Endpoints for Location Awareness The following endpoints support tracking via Location Awareness: • Cisco Uniifed Wireless IP Phone 7925G Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 764 Advanced Call Processing Wireless Network Updates

You can define both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, or you can define an IPv4 or an IPv6 address. For Meraki Access Points, the Unified Communications Manager updates the Basic Service Set Identifiers (BSSID) in the Database after normalizing it to its base BSSID. For more information about BSSID masking calculation for Meraki Access Points, see Calculating Cisco Meraki BSSID MAC Addresses. For Non- Meraki Access Points, the Unified CM updates the BSSID in the database by masking the last byte with 0. This masking logic helps Unified CM to uniquely identify the Access Point as opposed to the BSSIDs for the individual channels on the Access Point.

For example, desktop video endpoints may use multimedia conferencing AF41 marking for video media streams, while high-definition video room systems may use real-time interactive CS4 marking. When an application sends and receives IP communications to and from the same type of application, the DSCP markings are symmetric, and the QoS treatments of the IP communications that each application sends and receives are the same. However, when an application sends and receives media to and from a different type of application, the DSCP markings may be asymmetric, and the QoS treatments of the IP communications that each application sends and receives may be inconsistent. For example, the QoS treatment of the video media stream that a video room system receives from a desktop video endpoint may be inadequate to support the expected quality of the video room system. Devices and applications are subjected to Call Admission Control (CAC) to ensure that adequate bandwidth is available for the duration of established sessions. The bandwidth that is utilized by established sessions is updated as the sessions begin and end. Attempts to establish new sessions that would exceed the available bandwidth are blocked. The amount of bandwidth available may be tracked independently for devices and applications of different types. For example, independent tracking of bandwidth may be available for desktop video endpoints and high-definition video room systems to send and receive video media streams. When devices and applications of the same type send and receive communications, the same type of bandwidth deductions are made in each direction. However, when devices and applications of different types send and receive communications, different types of bandwidth deductions must be made in each direction. Moreover, the bandwidth deductions are usually symmetric in amount, by design, to reflect the usual behavior of an IP network. As a result, when devices and applications of different types send and receive communications, the total bandwidth deductions may be up to double the amount of network bandwidth that is actually utilized. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 771

Page 814#

chunk 764

This inconsistency in bandwidth accounting may cause attempts to establish new sessions to be blocked unnecessarily. The Flexible DSCP Marking and Video Promotion feature allows you to configure a Video Promotion policy that reconciles the inconsistency in bandwidth accounting in favor of the application that receives more favorable CAC and QoS treatment. For example, if a session between a desktop video endpoint and a high-definition video room system is reconciled in favor of the video room system, then the reconciliation is deemed a promotion for the desktop video endpoint. When reconciliation is in effect between devices and applications of different types, bandwidth is deducted only for the type of application that is favored by reconciliation. If sufficient bandwidth is available for a session of this type to be admitted, the device or application of the type that is not favored by reconciliation is instructed to change the DSCP markings that it uses to those that are used by the device or application of the type that is favored by reconciliation. For example, if a desktop video endpoint is promoted in a session with a high-definition video room system, bandwidth accounting takes place as if the desktop video endpoint were an application of the same type as the video room system. The desktop video endpoint is instructed to change its DSCP markings to those that are used by the video room system. The QoS treatment is consistent in both directions, bandwidth is deducted for a session between devices and applications of the same type as the video room system, and bandwidth is not deducted for a session between devices and applications of the same type as the desktop video endpoint. When you activate the Flexible DSCP Marking and Video Promotion feature, Unified Communications Manager dynamically signals desktop video devices a Traffic Class Label that is indicative of the DSCP marking for each negotiated media stream. Custom QoS Settings for Users You can customize Quality of Service (QoS) settings within a SIP profile and apply those settings to your users. The SIP Profile Configuration window has been enhanced with the following types of QoS settings: • Custom DSCP values for audio and video streams • Custom UDP port ranges for audio and video streams Custom DSCP Values for Audio and Video You can configure DSCP values for audio and video calls within a SIP profile and apply them to the SIP phones that use that profile. The SIP Profile Configuration window includes custom DSCP settings for the following types of calls: • Audio calls • Video calls • Audio portion of a video call • TelePresence calls • Audio portion of a TelePresence call If your company has a set of employees, such as a sales force, or a CEO, who require higher QoS priority settings than the majority of your employees, you can use the SIP profile configurations to configure custom DSCP values for those users. The settings within the SIP profile override the corresponding clusterwide service parameter settings. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 772 Advanced Call Processing Custom QoS Settings for Users

Page 815#

chunk 765

Custom UDP Port Ranges for Audio and Video You can configure separate UDP port ranges for the audio stream and video stream of a SIP call. Because video typically requires considerably more bandwidth than audio, creating dedicated port ranges for each media type simplifies network bandwidth management. It also protects against audio stream degradation by guaranteeing that the audio stream will have a dedicated channel that is separate from the higher-bandwidth video stream. You can apply this configuration by setting the Media Port Ranges field in the SIP profile to Separate Port Ranges for Audio and Video. You can then apply the configuration to a phone by associating the SIP profile to a phone. Traffic Class Label The Flexible DSCP and Video Promotion feature uses the Traffic Class Label (TCL) to instruct the SIP endpoint dynamically to mark its DSCP on a per call basis, based on the Video Promotion policy that you configure. Because TCL is a SIP Session Description Protocol (SDP) attribute that is defined per media line, the TCL and its associated DSCP markings can be different for the audio media line and the video media line of a video call. You can choose different DSCP markings for the audio stream and the video stream of the video call.

SIP Intercluster Trunks The Flexible DSCP Marking and Video Promotion feature is supported for SCCP devices. Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) Devices If pass-through MTPs are inserted in a call, Unified Communications Manager signals the MTP to mark the packets with the DSCP marking that is expected from the endpoint device that originally emitted the packet for the video stream. If the two endpoints on a call use different DSCP markings (for example, a Cisco TelePresence immersive video endpoint and a desktop video endpoint without Video Promotion), the MTPs preserve the DSCP marking in each stream direction. Pass-Through MTPs Flexible DSCP Marking and Video Promotion Restrictions Table 82: Flexible DSCP Marking and Video Promotion Restrictions Description Restriction The Flexible DSCP Marking and Video Promotion feature is not supported over H.323 trunks and Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) gateways.

In previous releases, Cisco Unified Communications Manager cannot be configured on a per line basis to have a different number sent to the PSTN in the FROM and PAID header. If a group of users is configured to present the same Calling Line Identification Number to PSTN users, which is a nongeographic E.164 number and cannot be used for billing. Therefore, the users actual DDI must be sent in a different field than the presentation number. With this release, Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports External Presentation Name and Number that is different from existing Identification Name and Number. The configured Presentation Name and Number are for display purpose on the following devices: • SIP • SCCP • Single Number Reach Destination (SNRD) • CTIRD • SparkRD Configuration Overview You can configure the external presentation name and number feature on the following pages: • Directory Number Configuration Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 779

• SIP Profile Configuration • Trunk Configuration • When you configure the External Presentation Information on the SIP Profile Configuration page, the value of External Presentation Number and External Presentation Name on the SIP Profile Configuration page is used, overriding the settings configured on the Directory Number page. • When you configure the Presentation Information on the Trunk Configuration page, the value of Presentation Number and Presentation Name on the Trunk Configuration page is used, overriding the settings configured on the SIP Profile Configuration and Directory Number Configuration pages. Note Call Processing This section describes the incoming and outgoing call behavior when you configure the external presentation name and number feature. Incoming Call Process Cisco Unified Communications Manager looks for FROM and PAID header information when there is a call initiated from the PSTN network. The FROM header contains the external presentation name and number (if configured). However, this is not the real identity of a user, it is used only for display purpose. The PAID header contains the identity (original DN or DDI) of the user. If FROM and PAID headers have different numbers and Enable External Presentation Name and Number option is enabled in the SIP Profile Configuration page and Display External Presentation Name and Number service parameter value is set to True, then Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays the FROM header information (configured external presentation name and number) on the called device. Similarly, if an option is disabled, Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays PAID header information (user's original DN or DDI) on the called device. • By default, Enable External Presentation Name and Number field is unchecked. • Default value of a service parameter Display External Presentation Name and Number is False. Note Invite Received from the PSTN Network From: "Customer Care" sip:1800000@example.com; To: sip:someone@example.com P-Asserted-Identity: "Your personal adviser sip:user1@example.com Remote-Party-ID: "Your personal adviser sip:user1@example.com In the preceding example, FROM header contains a number different from the PAID header. If you check Enable External Presentation Name and Number check box and set Display External Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 780 Advanced Call Processing Call Processing

Presentation Name and Number value to True, Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays Customer Care / 1800000 on the called device. If you uncheck the Enable External Presentation Name and Number check box or set the Display External Presentation Name and Number to False, then Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays Your personal adviser / user1@example.com on the called device. Outgoing Call Process Let us assume, a user configured with External Presentation Name and Number initiates a call to a PSTN network through the SIP trunk with Enable External Presentation Name and Number configured in its SIP Profile. Then, Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends the configured External Presentation Information in the FROM header of the outgoing SIP message and displays on the called device. If Enable External Presentation Name and Number option is disabled or External Presentation Number and External Presentation Name fields are not configured, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends the directory number information in the FROM and PAID headers and displays on the called device. External Presentation Number Mask Operation Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows you to mask the external presentation number, to be displayed on the called device. You can mask the presentation number on the Directory Number Configuration, SIP Profile Configuration, and Trunk Configuration pages. When you enter the digits in the External Presentation Number field with trailing X, the value of X is replaced with the directory number information starting from right to left. Mask Operation on Directory Number Configuration If you mask External Presentation Number as 180011XXXX on Directory Number Configuration page for a Directory Number 5551234, then Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays the presentation number as 1800111234 on the called device. Mask Operation on SIP Profile Configuration Let us assume External Presentation Number on Directory Number page is 180011XXXX and if you mask External Presentation Number on SIP Profile Configuration page as 180022XXXX for a Directory Number 5551234, then Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays the presentation number as 1800221234 on the called device. Mask Operation on Trunk Configuration Let us assume External Presentation Number on Directory Number page is 180011XXXX and on SIP Profile Configuration page is 180022XXXX. If you mask Presentation Number on Trunk Configuration page as 180033XXXX for a Directory Number 5551234, then Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays the presentation number as 1800331234 on the called device.

Directory Number Overview In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the Call Routing > Directory Number menu path to configure Directory Numbers (DNs). Using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can configure and modify the DNs that are assigned to specific phones. A new section External Presentation Information is added on the Directory Number Configuration page. The administrator can now configure the presentation name and number of their choice to display on the supported devices for external calls. If an administrator does not want to show users' identity, they have a privilege to display configured External Presentation Number and External Presentation Name as Anonymous on the called party device. Directory Number Configuration Tasks Procedure Purpose Command or Action If your system is synchronized with a company LDAP directory, you can import the new end user directly from LDAP. Add a new end user using one of the following methods: Step 1 • Import an End User from LDAP, on page 782 Otherwise, you can add and configure the end user manually. • Add an End User Manually, on page 783 You can use the 'Add New Phone' procedure to configure a new phone for the end user using settings from a universal device template.

Intercluster SME Call Flows The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session Management Edition software is same as the Cisco Unified Communications Manager used mainly for a call routing between clusters or various devices. With this release, Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the intercluster SME calls. Incoming Calls Let us assume a user from a PSTN network initiates a call with Enable External Presentation Name and Number enabled in its SIP profile. If Display External Presentation Name and Number service parameter is set to True, then Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends the presentation number information to the X-Cisco-Presentation header and displays on the called device. The FROM and PAID headers contains the identity of the user that is the user's DN or DDI. If Display External Presentation Name and Number service parameter is set to False, then Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends the presentation number information to the X-Cisco-Presentation header. The FROM and PAID headers contains the user’s DN or DDI and displays on the called device. Outgoing Calls A user who is configured with External Presentation Name and External Presentation Number initiates a call to a PSTN network through intercluster SIP trunks. If Enable External Presentation Name and Number check box is disabled in its SIP profile, then, Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends the original directory number information in the FROM and PAID headers and displays on the called device and configured External Presentation Information in the X-Cisco-Presentation header. Similarly, if Enable External Presentation Name and Number check box is enabled in its SIP profile, Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends the configured External Presentation Information in the FROM header and displays on the called device and original Directory Number in the PAID header.

C H A P T E R 66 SIP OAuth Mode • SIP OAuth Mode Overview, on page 795 • SIP OAuth Mode Prerequisites, on page 796 • SIP OAuth Mode Configuration Task Flow, on page 797 SIP OAuth Mode Overview Secure registrations to Unified Communications Manager involves a process of updating CTL files, setting up a mutual certificate trust store and so on. If devices are switching between on-premises and off-premises, it is difficult to update LSCs and renew Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF) enrolment each time when a secure registration is completed. SIP OAuth mode allows you to use OAuth refresh tokens for all devices authentication in secure environments. This feature enhances the security of Unified Communications Manager. Unified Communications Manager verifies the token presented by the endpoints and serves the configuration files only to authorized ones. OAuth token validation during SIP registration is completed when OAuth based authorization is enabled on Unified Communications Manager cluster and other Cisco devices. OAuth support for SIP registrations is extended for • Cisco Jabber devices from Unified Communications Manager 12.5 Release onwards • SIP Phones from Unified Communications Manager Release 14 onwards By default, TFTP is secure for SIP phones when SIP OAuth is enabled. TFTP file download happens through secured channel, and only for authenticated phones. SIP OAuth provides end to end secure signaling and media encryption without CAPF on-premises as well as over MRA. Note The following are the Phone Security Profile Types that can be configured for OAuth: • Cisco Dual Mode For iPhone (TCT device) • Cisco Dual Mode For Android (BOT device) • Cisco Unified Client Service Framework (CSF device) • Cisco Jabber for Tablet (TAB device) Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 795

C H A P T E R 67 Configure QoS with APIC-EM Controller • APIC-EM Controller Overview, on page 807 • APIC-EM Controller Prerequisites, on page 808 • APIC-EM Controller Configuration Task Flow, on page 808 APIC-EM Controller Overview The APIC-EM Controller provides a centralized system for managing network traffic so that you always have the bandwidth to maintain communications, even in congested networks. You can configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager to use the APIC-EM Controller to manage SIP media flows thereby providing the following benefits: • Centralizes QoS management, thereby eliminating the need for endpoints to assign DSCP values. • Applies differential QoS treatment for different media flows. For example, you can prioritize audio over video to ensure that basic audio communication is always maintained, even when network bandwidth is low. • External QoS setting in the SIP Profile allows you to target which users will use the APIC-EM. For example, you may have Cisco Jabber users use the APIC-EM to manage media flows, while Cisco Unified IP Phone users use the DSCP settings in Cisco Unified Communications Manager SIP Media Flow Management For SIP calls that use APIC-EM, Cisco Unified Communications Manager sends the policy request to the APIC-EM Controller at the call outset notifying the APIC-EM of the media flow that is being set up. The policy request contains information about the call, including the IP address and ports for source and destination devices, the media type for the flow and the protocol. The APIC-EM notifies the switch at the beginning of the call flow of the DSCP values for the associated media flows. The switch inserts those DSCP values into individual media packets, overwriting any values that the endpoint inserts. If a gateway in the call flow experiences congestion, that gateway sends through the packets with the higher DSCP values first. This ensures that high priority audio and video streams are not blocked by lower-priority network traffic such as email, print jobs, or software downloads. When the call ends, Cisco Unified Communications Manager notifies the APIC-EM and the APIC-EM notifies the switch to delete the flow.

Third-party phones that are running AS-SIP do not get configured through the Cisco Unified Communications Manager TFTP server. The customer must configure them by using the native phone configuration mechanism (usually a web page or TFTP file). The customer must keep the device and line configuration in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database synchronized with the native phone configuration (for example, extension 1002 on the phone and 1002 in Cisco Unified Communications Manager). Also, if the directory number of a line is changed, the customer must ensure that it gets changed in both Cisco Unified CM Administration and in the native phone configuration mechanism. Identification of Third-Party Phones The third-party phones that are running SIP do not send a MAC address, they must identify themselves by using username. The REGISTER message includes the following header: Authorization: Digest username=”swhite”,realm=”ccmsipline”,nonce=”GBauADss2qoWr6k9y3hGGVDAqnLfoLk5”,uri =”sip:172.18.197.224”, algorithm=MD5,response=”126c0643a4923359ab59d4f53494552e” The username, swhite, must match a user that is configured in the End User Configuration window of Cisco Unified CM Administration. The administrator configures the SIP third-party phone with the user; for example, swhite, in the Digest User field of Phone Configuration window. You can assign each user ID to only one third-party phone. If the same user ID is assigned as the Digest User for multiple phones, the third-party phones to which they are assigned will not successfully register. Note Configuration of Third Party AS-SIP Phones and Cisco IP Phones The following table provides a comparison overview of the configuration differences between Cisco Unified IP Phones and third-party phones that are running AS-SIP.

Use Cisco Unified CM Administration to configure third-party phones that are running SIP (For more information, see "Configure SIP Profile" topic in System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager the ). The administrator must perform configuration steps on the third-party phone that is running SIP; see the following examples: • Ensure that proxy address in the phone is the IP or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. • Ensure directory numbers in the phone match the directory numbers that are configured for the device in Cisco Unified CM Administration. • Ensure digest user ID (sometimes referred to as Authorization ID) in the phone matches the Digest User ID in the Cisco Unified CM Administration. For more information, refer to the documentation that came with the third-party phone. AS-SIP Conferencing MOH is applied to its target (a held party, transferee just before transfer, or conferee just before joining the conference), if the feature invoker (holder, transferor, or conference initiator) supports Cisco-proprietary feature signaling. If the feature invoker does not support Cisco-proprietary feature signaling, then MOH is not applied to its target. Also, if an endpoint explicitly signals that it is a conference mixer, then MOH will not be played to the target. There are two forms of AS-SIP Conferencing: • Local mixing • Conference Factory Local mixing To the Unified CM, the conference initiator simply appears to have established simultaneously active calls, one to each of the other conference attendees. The initiator host the conference locally and the voices are mixed there. The calls from the conference initiator have special signaling that prevent it from being connected to an MOH source. Conference Factory The conference initiator calls a Conference Factory Server located off a SIP trunk. Through IVR signaling, the conference initiator instructs the Conference Factory to reserve a conference bridge. The Conference Factory gives the numeric address (a routable DN) to the conference initiator, who then establishes a subscription with the bridge to receive conference list information to track the participants. The Conference Factory sends special signaling that prevent it from being connected to an MOH Source. AS-SIP Prerequisites Determine whether sufficient Device License Units are available.

Description Parameter This parameter specifies whether devices use MLPP tones and special displays to indicate MLPP precedence calls. To enable MLPP indication across the enterprise, set this parameter to MLPP Indication turned on. The default is MLPP Indication turned off. MLPP Indication Status This parameter determines whether devices should apply preemption and preemption signaling (such as preemption tones) to accommodate higher precedence calls. To enable MLPP preemption across the enterprise, set this parameter to Forceful Preemption. The default is No preemption allowed. MLPP Preemption Setting In a precedence call, if the called party subscribes to alternate party diversion, this timer indicates the seconds after which Cisco Unified Communications Manager will divert the call to the alternate party if the called party does not acknowledge preemption or does not answer a precedence call. The default is 30 seconds. Precedence Alternate Party Timeout This parameter determines whether a precedence call will forward to the voice-messaging system. If the parameter is set to False, precedence calls do not forward to the voice-messaging system. If the parameter is set to True, precedence calls forward to the voice-messaging system. For MLPP, the recommended setting for this parameter is False, as users, not the voice-messaging system, should always answer precedence calls. The default is False.

Configure a User Device Profile for Multilevel Precedence and Preemption When a user profile is assigned to a phone, the phone inherits the configuration of the assigned user, including any CSS that is associated with the user. The phone CSS can, however, override the user profile. Cisco Unified Communications Manager assigns the precedence level that is associated with the dialed pattern to the call when a pattern match occurs. The system sets the call request as a precedence call with the assigned precedence level. Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Device > Device Settings > Device Profile. Step 2 Perform one of the following tasks: • To modify the settings for an existing device profile, enter search criteria, click Find, and then choose an existing device profile from the resulting list. • To add a new device profile: • Click Add New. • From the Device Profile Type drop-down list, choose a profile type. • Click Next. • From the Device Protocol drop-down list, choose either SIP or SCCP. Step 3 Click Next. Step 4 From the MLPP Domain drop-down list, choose an MLLP domain that you configured. Step 5 From the MLPP Indication drop-down list, choose one of the following settings to specify whether a device that is capable of playing precedence tones will use the capability when it places an MLPP precedence call: • • Default—This device inherits its MLPP indication setting from its device pool. • Off—This device does not handle nor process indication of an MLPP precedence call. • On—This device does handle and process indication of an MLPP precedence call. Step 6 From the MLPP Preemption drop-down list, choose one of the following settings to specify whether a device that is capable of preempting calls in progress will use the capability when it places an MLPP precedence call: • • Default—This device inherits its MLPP preemption setting from its device pool. • Disabled—This device does not allow preemption of lower precedence calls to take place when necessary for completion of higher precedence calls. • Forceful—This device allows preemption of lower precedence calls to take place when necessary for completion of higher precedence calls.

Multilevel Precedence and Preemption Interactions Table 88: Multilevel Precedence and Preemption Interactions Interaction Feature 729 Annex A is supported. 729 Annex A The MLPP service domain remains associated with a user device profile when a user logs in to a device by using extension mobility. The MLPP Indication and Preemption settings also propagate with extension mobility. If either the device or the device profile do not support MLPP, these settings do not propagate. Cisco Extension Mobility MLPP interacts with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant as follows: • When Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant handles an MLPP precedence call, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant preserves call precedence. • Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant filters MLPP precedence calls in the same manner as it filters all other calls. The precedence of a call does not affect whether the call is filtered. • Because Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant does not register the precedence of a call, it does not provide any additional indication of the precedence of a call on the assistant console. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant Immediate Divert diverts calls to voice-messaging mail boxes regardless of the type of call (for example, a precedence call). When Alternate Party Diversion (call precedence) is activated, Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) is also deactivated. Immediate Divert RSVP supports MLPP inherently. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide explains how MLPP functions when RSVP is activated. Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) MLPP interacts with multiple line appearances, call transfer, call forwarding, three-way calling, call pickup, and hunt pilots as documented in the and the subsections that describe the interaction with each service.

Multilevel Precedence and Preemption Restrictions Table 89: Multilevel Precedence and Preemption Restrictions Description Restriction Cisco Unified Communications Manager preempts lower precedence calls when adjusting video bandwidth for high priority calls. If the bandwidth is not sufficient to preempt, Cisco Unified Communications Manager instructs endpoints to use previously reserved lower video bandwidth. When Cisco Unified Communications Manager preempts a video call, the preempted party receives a preemption tone and the call gets cleared. Bandwidth For the DRSN, CDRs represent precedence levels with values 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 where 0 specifies Executive Override and 4 specifies Routine, as used in DSN. CDRs thus do not use the DRSN format. Call Detail Records Common Network Facility Preemption support exists only for T1-CAS and T1-PRI (North American) interfaces on targeted Voice over IP gateways that Cisco Unified Communications Manager controls by using MGCP protocol and that have been configured as MLPP Preemption Enabled. Common Network Facility Preemption Intercluster trunk MLPP carries precedence information through dialed digits. Domain information does not get preserved and must be configured per trunk for incoming calls. Intercluster trunks MLPP-enabled devices are not supported in line groups. We recommend the following guidelines: • MLPP-enabled devices should not be configured in a line group. Route groups, however, are supported. Both trunk selection and hunting methods are supported. • If an MLPP-enabled device is configured in a line group or route group, in the event of preemption, if the route list does not lock onto the device, the preempted call may be rerouted to other devices in the route/hunt list and preemption indication may be returned only after no devices are able to receive the call. • Route lists can be configured to support either of two algorithms of trunk selection and hunting for precedence calls. In method 1, perform a preemptive search directly. In method 2, first perform a friendly search. If this search is not successful, perform a preemptive search. Method 2 requires two iterations through devices in a route list. If route lists are configured for method 2, in certain scenarios involving line groups, route lists may seem to iterate through the devices twice for precedence calls. Line Groups Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support the Look Ahead for Busy (LFB) option.

Description Restriction Only MLPP Indication Enabled devices generate MLPP-related notifications, such as tones and ringers. If a precedence call terminates at a device that is not MLPP Indication Enabled, no precedence ringer gets applied. If a precedence call originates from a device that is not MLPP Indication Enabled, no precedence ringback tone is applied. If a device that is not MLPP Indication Enabled is involved in a call that is preempted (that is, the other side of the call initiated preemption), no preemption tone gets applied to the device. Note Before Release 15SU3, MLPP notifications did not appear on call-originating SIP endpoints until the call was connected when using a route or translation pattern. Starting with Release 15SU3, Unified CM supports MLPP notifications on specific SIP phone models. This feature enables these models to play precedence ringback notifications before the call connects. The supported models are the Cisco Desk Phone 9841, Cisco Desk Phone 9851, Cisco Desk Phone 9861, Cisco Desk Phone 9871, and Cisco Video Phone 8875 (including Non-Radio models). MLPP Notification For phones, devices that are MLPP indication disabled (that is, MLPP Indication is set to Off) cannot be preempted. For trunks, MLPP indication and preemption function independently. Phones and trunks Turning on MLPP Indication (at the enterprise parameter, common device configuration, or device level) disables normal Ring Setting behavior for the lines on a device, unless MLPP Indication is turned off (overridden) for the device. Ring Setting Behavior IOS gateways support the SCCP interface to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. They support BRI and analog phones that appear on Cisco Unified Communications Manager as supported phone models. SCCP phones support the MLPP feature, and so do some phones with specific SIP loads.

Description Restriction MLPP support for supplementary services specifies the following restrictions: • MLPP addresses only the basic Call Pickup feature and Group Call Pickup feature, not Other Group Pickup. • Call Forward All (CFA) support for inbound MLPP calls always forwards the call to the MLPP Alternate Party (MAP) target of the called party, if the MAP target is configured. In the event of an incorrect configuration (that is, if no MAP target is specified), the call is rejected, and the calling party receives a reorder tone. • Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) support for inbound MLPP calls forwards the call once to a CFNA target. After the first hop, if the call is unanswered, the call is sent to the MAP target of the original called party, if the MAP target has been configured. In the event of an incorrect configuration (that is, if no MAP target is specified), the call gets rejected, and the calling party receives a reorder tone . • Call Forward Busy (CFB) support for inbound MLPP calls forwards the call up to the maximum number that has been configured for forwarding hops. If the maximum hop count gets reached, the call gets sent to the MAP target of the original called party, if the MAP target has been configured. In the event of an incorrect configuration (that is, no MAP target is specified), the call gets rejected, and the calling party receives a reorder tone. • For hunt pilot support, the hunt group algorithm must specify Longest Idle Time, Top Down, or Circular. Ensure the hunt group options for busy treatment, no answer treatment, and unregistered treatment are set to Try next member, but do not go to the next group. Preemption only occurs across a single hunt group.

To configure SIP normalization and transparency, apply a customized LUA script to a SIP trunk or SIP line. Unified Communications Manager applies the script to the SIP messaging that passes through the SIP trunks or SIP lines. Upon installation, Unified Communications Manager contains default normalization and transparency scripts that you can assign to the SIP trunks and SIP profiles in your system. You can also create and import your own customized scripts. SIP Normalization SIP normalization scripts modify incoming and outgoing SIP messages. For example, if you are interoperating Unified Communications Manager with a Cisco TelePresence Video Communications Server, apply the vcs-interop script to the SIP trunk that connects the two. The script resolves the differences in the SIP messaging so that the two products can communicate. You can apply a normalization script to any SIP trunk connection, regardless of which protocol is being used by the endpoint that connects to that SIP trunk. SIP Transparency SIP transparency scripts enable Unified Communications Manager to transparently pass SIP information, such as proprietary headers, from one call leg to the other. For transparency to work, both call legs must be SIP. Another feature of SIP transparency is REFER transparency, which allows Unified Communications Manager to pass on REFER requests without acting on them. You can use REFER transparency in call center environments where a centralized agent may answer a call and then transfer the call to an agent who resides in the same geographical area as the caller. REFER transparency allows the centralized Unified Communications Manager to drop the call and shift call control to the new agent.

Default Scripts for SIP Normalization and Transparency Upon installation, Cisco Unified Communications Manager contains the following default scripts for SIP Normalization and Transparency. You can apply these scripts to a SIP trunk or SIP profile, but you cannot edit these scripts. If none of these scripts meet your needs, you can create your own scripts: • cisco-meeting-server-interop—Provides interoperability between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Meeting Server (CMS). • cisco-telepresence-conductor-interop—Provides interoperability for endpoints that are registered to TelePresence Conductor. • cisco-telepresence-mcu-ts-direct-interop—Provides interoperability between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and either Cisco TelePresence MCU or Cisco TelePresence Server. • diversion-counter—Provides capability to adjust the diversion counter. • HCS-PCV-PAI passthrough—Provides Cisco HCS platform integration with Enterprise IMS. • redsky-alternate-id-interop—Adds Redsky headers in outbound invite. • refer-passthrough—Removes Cisco Unified Communications Manager from the call due to a blind transfer between SIP trunks. • vcs-interop—Provides interoperability for endpoints that are registered to the Cisco TelePresence Video Communications Server. SIP Normalization and Transparency Prerequisites • Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides default scripts for SIP Normalization and Transparency. Make sure to review the existing scripts and system settings to verify whether they meet your needs. For information on the available default scripts, see Default Scripts for SIP Normalization and Transparency, on page 848. • Make sure that you understand your deployment's SIP requirements in addition to the SIP requirements for any third-party products.

Without an SDP transparency profile, Unified Communications Manager drops non-supported SDP attributes. You can configure SDP transparency profiles with multiple rules and apply them to SIP devices via the SIP profile. In order for the SDP transparency profile to be applied, both call legs must be SIP. You can configure the following types of rules for SDP attributes: • Property—If a rule is configured for a property attribute, Unified Communications Manager passes through the SDP attribute unless the attribute has a value. • Any Value—If a rule is configured for any value, the SDP attribute gets passed through so long as it has a value that consists of at least one non-white space character. • Value From List—If a rule is configured using this option, the SDP attribute gets passed through so long as it matches one of the specified values. You can configure up to five possible values SDP Transparency Profile Restrictions The following restrictions apply to SDP transparency profiles.

This feature lets users share a presentation within ongoing audio or video conversation. The following example describes how presentation sharing works using BFCP: • An ongoing video conversation exists between two video phones. User A decides to share content with User B during the conversation. User A has the option to share the entire screen or share the specific application. • The BFCP stream allows User B to view User A's shared content. An audio-video call with content share requires at least four channels: audio, main video, the second video, and BFCP control channel, to achieve video conferencing and sharing presentations in the second video channel. If the call parties are capable of Far-End Camera Control (FECC), a fifth channel must be established. Presentation Sharing with BFCP From release 12.5(1)SU3 onwards, for Unified Communications Manager registered SIP endpoints, the BFCP work when: • Two video-capable endpoints that start the conversation in audio-only mode share content during the call using BFCP support. • TRP is allocated during the call. BFCP Architecture Presentation sharing using BFCP is supported only on BFCP enabled SIP networks. The entire network, including the endpoint devices and trunks, must be SIP.

Unified Communications Manager aids in the negotiation of the BFCP stream by relaying SIP messages between two endpoints. This negotiation involves establishing a floor, which is a temporary permission to access shared resources. The BFCP stream is a point-to-point stream between the endpoints. Unified Communications Manager is never a target of the BFCP stream. The following figure provides an example of a complex video network with multiple Unified Communications Manager clusters. BFCP must be enabled on all the trunks and lines connecting the devices. For this network, BFCP must be enabled on the four SIP trunks and two SIP lines that connect the endpoints. Figure 14: Video Network with Multiple Cisco Unified Communications Manager Clusters BFCP Limitations Unified Communications Manager rejects the BFCP stream in the following scenarios: • The Allow Presentation Sharing using BFCP check box on the SIP Profile page is unchecked for one of the SIP lines or trunks in the network. • One endpoint offers BFCP, but the other does not. • When the SIP line or SIP trunk uses MTP (non pass-through mode) or Transcoder. BFCP control channel is always unencrypted. However, the presentation channel is encrypted if both phones are encrypted.

Video endpoints use Unified CM call-handling features and access a unified voice and video solution for dialing and connecting video calls. The Unified Communications Manager video telephony solution offers these features: • Supports video and video-related features, such as Far-End Camera Control (FECC) • Supports multiple logical channels that are needed to allow the transmission of video streams • Transmits midcall, media-related messages that are needed for video (that is, transmits commands or indications that are needed for video calls) • Supports H.323, Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) • Enhances locations and regions to provide Bandwidth Management • Provides serviceability information, such as Call Detail Records (CDRs), about video calls Video Telephony Support The following sections discuss the details of video telephony in the Unified Communications Manager environment.

Video Calls The typical video call includes two or three Real-Time Protocol (RTP) streams in each direction (that is, four or six streams). The call can include the following stream types: • Video (H.261, H.263, H.263+, H.264-SVC, X-H.264UC, H.264-AVC, H.265, AV1 and VT Camera wideband video codecs) • Far-End Camera Control (FECC) - Optional • Binary Floor Control Protocols (BFCP) Call control for video calls operates the same way as the call control that governs all other calls. For more information, see the Configure Media Resources chapter in the System Configuration Guide. You can also see, Configure Conference Bridges chapter in the System Configuration Guide for details on how Unified Communications Manager can allocate a video conference bridge automatically. Note Real-Time Transport Control Protocol Pass-Through in MTP Topologies An IOS Media Terminate Point (MTP) before 15.2(2)T, cannot pass-through Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) packets and therefore cannot exchange Real-Time Protocol (RTP) feedback data to enhance the RTP transmission. The primary function of RTCP is to provide feedback on media distribution by periodically sending statistics to participants in a streaming multimedia session. RTCP gathers statistics for a media connection and information such as transmitted octet and packet counts, lost packet counts, jitter, and round-trip delay time. An application may use this information to control the quality of service parameters, perhaps by limiting flow or using a different codec. IOS MTP Version 15.2(2)T and later supports RTCP pass-through capability so that the endpoint in a call with an MTP present can still provide feedback and status on an RTP transmission. RTCP pass-through capability applies to media channels. The RTCP pass-through feature is not limited to a specific call signaling protocol. For example, it can be SIP-SIP, SIP-nonSIP, or nonSIP-nonSIP. For Unified CM to allocate an RTCP pass-through capable MTP specifically, the call needs to fulfill the following conditions: • An MTP is requested for a feature that requires the MTP to be in media pass-through mode. For example, TRP, DTMF translation, IP address V4/V6 translation, and so on. RTCP pass-through is only applicable when the media is in pass-through mode. • The RTCP pass-through MTP needs to be included in the Media Resource Group Lists (MRGL) of the endpoint that sponsors the MTP. MTP can be inserted by RSVP, TRP, DTMF mismatch reasons. • When the call is capable of establishing video channels, Unified CM attempts to search for an RTCP pass-through capable MTP. For example, Unified CM picks an RTCP pass-through capable MTP from other non-capable ones in the MRGL. If an RTCP pass-through capable MTP is not available, then Unified CM stills allocate an MTP for the call. • When the call is capable of establishing an audio channel only, Unified CM does not intentionally request an RTCPpass-through capable MTP for the non-video calls. However, if the MRGL only contains RTCPpass-through capable MTP(s), then Unified CM inserts one of those into the audio call. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 860 SIP Interoperability Video Calls

chunk 852

• The call also needs to fulfill the current CAC bandwidth for video calls to have an RTCP pass-through capable MTP. If a call initially establishes with a non-RTCP pass-through capable MTP (before version 15.2(2)T) present in the call, and the call escalates into a video-capable call, Unified CM does not reallocate to an RTCP pass-through capable MTP. In that case, even though the call has been escalated to a video call, the existing MTP does not allow RTCP packets to be passed through. Note Video Codecs Common video codecs include H.261, an older video codec, H.263, a newer codec that gets used to provide internet protocol (IP) video, and H.264, a high-quality codec. The system supports H.264 for calls that use the Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP), H.323, and SIP on originating and terminating endpoints only. The system also supports regions and locations. Unified Communications Manager maintains the offerer's video codec ordering preference when making the answer, if possible. H.265 is the preferred video codec is available on the endpoints, otherwise, Unified Communications Manager follows the following codec preference preference order: Description Codecs Preference Order Provides higher quality video using lower bandwidth. H.265 (HEVC) 1 Allows rendering of variable quality video from the same media stream, by disregarding a subset of the packets received. Note H. 264 SVC is a new annex to the H.264-AVC video compression standard; meaning it is an enhancement on top of H.264-AVC. It provides the ability to encapsulate multiple video streams at various frame-rates and resolutions in one container.

chunk 853

Description Codecs Preference Order H.263 and H.261 codecs exhibit the following parameters and typical values: • Bit rates range from 64 kb/s to a few mb/s. These bit rates can exist in any multiple of 100 b/s. H.261 and H.263 can function with bit rates lower than 64 kb/s, but video quality suffers in such cases. • One-quarter Common Interchange Format (QCIF) (Resolution equals 176x144.) • Common Interchange Format (CIF) (Resolution equals 352x288.) • 4CIF (Resolution equals 704x576.) • Sub QCIF (SQCIF) (Resolution equals 128x96.) • 16CIF (Resolution equals 1408x1152.) • Custom Picture Format • Resolution: • Frame Rate: 15 frames per second (fps), 30 fps • Annexes: F, D, I, J, K, L, P, T, N H.263 5 H.261 6 The bandwidth of video calls equals the sum of the audio bandwidth and the video bandwidth. The total bandwidth does not include overhead. A 384-kb/s video call may comprise G.711 at 64 kb/s (for audio) plus 320 kb/s (for video). This sum does not include overhead. If the audio codec for a video call is G.729 (at 24 kb/s), the video rate increases to maintain a total bandwidth of 384 kb/s. If the call involves an H.323 endpoint, the H.323 endpoint may use less than the total available video bandwidth. Regardless of protocol, the endpoint may always choose to send at less than the max bit rate for the call. AV1 Codec Support AV1 is a next-generation video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media. The benefits of AV1 are: • Reduced bandwidth consumption and better visual quality by utilizing better compression efficiency compared to other video encodings • Enables video for users on very low bandwidth networks • Significant screen sharing efficiency improvements over other codecs Unified Communication Manager supports negotiation of AV1 codec to establish media if endpoints support the AV1 codec. When both endpoints support Multiple Codecs in Answer, Unified CM negotiates all the matching codecs including AV1 based on the preference order received. The endpoint will then use one of the codecs from the Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 862 SIP Interoperability Video Codecs

chunk 854

negotiated codec list for media streaming. In a low bandwidth environment, the AV1 codec is preferred by the endpoint over other codecs in the negotiated list. When both the endpoints involved in the call do not support the Multiple Codec in Answer, and the AV1 is the preferred codec over other codecs, Unified CM selects AV1 as the negotiated codec. AV1 codec is not yet supported on TelePresence endpoints. Note Video Network The following illustration provides an example of a video network that uses a single Unified Communications Manager cluster. In a successful video network, any endpoint can call any other endpoint. Video availability only exists if both endpoints are video-enabled. Video capabilities extend across trunks.

Video Telephony Configuration Task Flow To configure video telephony in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration follow these steps. Procedure Step 1 Configure regions for video call bandwidth if you use regions for call admission control. Note All devices include a default region, which defaults to 384 kb/s for video. You can set the bandwidth setting in Region configuration high enough for the desired resolution (For example, increase to 2Mb/s for high-definition video call). Step 2 Configure locations for video call bandwidth if you use locations for call admission control. Step 3 (Optional) Configure the RSVP service parameters, or set the RSVP policy in the Location Configuration window if using RSVP for bandwidth management of SIP video calls. Step 4 Configure the appropriate conference bridge for your network to use a Cisco video conference bridge. Step 5 Configure the media resource groups and media resource group lists for the user accordingly to configure a user to use the video conference bridge instead of using other conference bridges. Step 6 Configure the H.323 gateways in your system to retry video calls as audio calls (default behavior) or configure AAR groups and route/hunt lists to use alternate routing for video calls that do not connect. Step 7 Configure the H.323 phones in your system to retry video calls as audio calls (default behavior) or configure AAR groups and route/hunt lists to use alternate routing for video calls that do not connect. Choose Enabled for Video Capabilities. Step 8 Configure the H.323 trunks in your system to retry video calls as audio calls (default behavior) or configure AAR groups and route/hunt lists to use alternate routing for video calls that do not connect. Step 9 Configure the Cisco Unified IP Phones that will support video. Step 10 Configure the third-party SIP endpoints that will support video. Step 11 Configure the SIP trunks in your system to retry video calls as audio calls (default behavior). H.323 Video H.323 video exhibits the following characteristics: • H.323 endpoints can be configured as H.323 phones, H.323 gateways, or H.323 trunks. • Call forwarding, dial plan, and other call-routing-related features work with H.323 endpoints. • H.323 video endpoints cannot initiate hold, resume, transfer, park, and other similar features. • If an H.323 endpoint supports the empty capability set (ECS), the endpoint can be held, parked, and so forth.

chunk 857

• Some vendors implement call setup in such a way that they cannot increase the bandwidth of a call when the call gets transferred or redirected. In such cases, if the initial call is audio, users may not receive video when they are transferred to a video endpoint. • No video media termination point (MTP) nor video transcoder currently exists. If an audio transcoder or MTP is inserted into a call, that call will be audio only. This is true when the IPVC audio transcoding capabilities is not being used. When the IPVC transcoders are used, you can transcode the audio and send/receive video. • For H.323 video calls, users must specify video call bandwidth. H.239-Extended Video Channels in H.323 Call The extended video channels feature works via H.239 protocol and enables multiple video channel support. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports negotiating an extended video channel using the H.239 protocol in direct point-to-point H.323 calls. This also includes calls across the H.323 intercluster trunk. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports all H.239 associated support signals and commands that are specified in the H.239 recommendation. The following sections describes characteristics which apply to the extended video channels feature. Support for Third-Party H.323 Devices The extended video channel feature supports H.239 interoperability among third-party video endpoints and Cisco Unified Voice Conferencing. Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows an extended video channel to be used for presentation and live meeting transmission. This feature focuses on multiple video channel support via H.245 signaling. The following presentation applications provide basis for this multichannel support: • Natural Presenter package by the third-party vendor video endpoint • People + Content by the third-party vendor Polycom Both Natural Presenter package and People + Content use the H.239 protocol to negotiate capabilities and define the roles of the additional video channels. Natural Presenter package by video endpoint and People + Content by Polycom only support H.239 for the presentation mode. Be aware that the presentation applications that are offered by video endpoint and Polycom are optional features. You must have one of these options and H.239 enabled in both caller and callee endpoints to negotiate second video channels or the call will be limited to a single video channel. Note H.323 Devices Invoke Presentation Feature Cisco and Polycom video endpoints allow the user to share presentation materials from various components (for example, VCR, Projector, PC, and so on). The components can physically connect with the endpoints, and the PC can also run presentation applications that are provided by the vendor to transmit the presentation image. The source of presentation and the component connection with the video endpoint are irrelevant to the mechanism of establishing video channels by using H.239.

Page 909#

chunk 858

For details on setting up presentation sources, see the video endpoint user guide. Note When two H.239-enabled endpoints attempt to establish a video call, they declare their video capabilities for the main video channel for meeting participants and their extended video capabilities (H.239 capabilities) for the second video channel. The following contents comprise H.239 capability signals: 1. The endpoints send signals to indicate that the devices support H.239. They also send associated commands and indication signals for managing the second video channel. This enables both the endpoints to be aware that the call is capable of opening multiple video channels. 2. The endpoints sends out one or more extended video codec capabilities to express video codec capabilities for second channels. The endpoint must specify the role of the second video channel. The defined role labels can be • Live-video-This channel gets processed normally and is suitable for live video of people • Presentation-This channel relays a token-managed presentation that is distributed to the devices After the capabilities have been exchanged, both endpoints immediately open two-way audio channels and the main video channels as in the traditional video calls. Opening Second Video Channels Depending on the third-party endpoint implementation, the second video channel is handled differently among vendors. Natural Presenter Package by Tandberg Video endpoints initiates the second video channel on demand. A video endpoint device does not open the second video channel immediately after the main video channel is established. The second channel gets opened when one of the callers (the presenter) specifies the source of the presentation and invokes a command to start the presentation. When a video endpoint user decides to start sharing the presentation, video endpoint requests the other call party to open an extended video channel for receiving the presentation image; therefore, a video endpoint-video endpoint call has only one-way second video channel. People + Content by Polycom Unlike video endpoint, a Polycom video endpoint initiates the second video endpoint immediately as a part of the default mechanism, after both parties have confirmed that additional video channels can be supported. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 867 SIP Interoperability Opening Second Video Channels

Page 910#

chunk 859

The channel established gets automatically if both parties support H.239 and have the extended video channel feature enabled. However, the additional channel does not show anything until one of the parties start to share presentation. Polycom initiates a request for the second video channel to the other call party regardless of the usage of the second video channel; therefore, in a Polycom-Polycom call, two-way video channels get opened between the devices even if only one of them sends out presentation image/video. This implementation ensures that both call parties have the second video channel ready for transmission when the call parties decide to take the token to present something. Although one of the two video channels remains idle (not sending anything), the Polycom device controls bandwidth to ensure load efficiency. This difference in handling second video channels does not affect the implementation of H.239. Unified Communications Manager does not initiate any receiving channel request in an H.323-H.323 call. Unified Communications Manager simply relays all channel requests from one terminal to another. Unified Communications Manager does not enforce two-way transmission for the second set of video channels because this does not represent a requirement in the H.239 protocol. Note Call Admission Control (CAC) on Second Video Channels The following call admission control policies of Cisco Unified Communications Manager get applied to the second video channels: Cisco Unified Communications Manager restricts the bandwidth usage by the second video channels on the basis of location configuration. When the second video channel is being established, Cisco Unified Communications Manager makes sure that enough video bandwidth stays available within the location pool and reserves bandwidth accordingly. If the required bandwidth is not available, Cisco Unified Communications Manager instructs the channel to reduce the available bandwidth to zero. No change occurs in the region configuration or policies to support the second video channels. Traditionally, Cisco Unified Communications Manager region policy has only supported a call with a single video channel and the total bandwidth usage of this call never gets larger than what the region configuration specifies. If the administrator sets a finite region video bandwidth restriction for an H.239 call, Cisco Unified Communications Manager will violate the region policy because the region value will get used against the bandwidth that is requested for each video channel independently. Example If the region video bandwidth is set to 384Kbps and the audio channel uses 64Kb/s, the maximum allowed bandwidth for each video channel will be (384Kb/s - 64Kb/s)= 320Kb/s. i.e. the maximum bandwidth to be used by the H.239 call will be (audio bw + 2*(384

  • audio bw)) = 704Kb/s, which goes beyond the 384Kb/s bandwidth that the region specifies. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 868 SIP Interoperability Call Admission Control (CAC) on Second Video Channels
Page 911#

chunk 860

You should consider relaxing both region and location bandwidth restrictions for H.239 calls, so the H.239 devices are allowed to readjust and balance load for both the video channels without Cisco Unified Communications Manager intervention. Note Number of Video Channels Allowed Unified Communications Manager supports only a maximum of two video channels due to the following reasons: • Both Cisco and Polycom only support two video channels, one of which is for main video, and the other is for presentation. • H.239 only defines an Additional Media Channel (AMC) for H.320-based system to partition the traditional H.320 video channel for the purpose of presentation. H.239 Commands and Indication Messages Command and Indication (C&I) messages get used for H.239 to manage tokens for the Presentation and Live roles and to permit devices to request release of video flow control to enable the operation of additional media channels. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports all the C & I messages. Whenever Cisco Unified Communications Manager receives C&I messages, it relays them to the call party accordingly. Be aware that the flow control release request and response messages can be used to request that the far end release flow control, so it allows an endpoint to send the indicated channel at the indicated bit rate. Be aware that the call party may or may not honor the request as is indicated by flow control release response. Note The Presentation role token messages allow an H.239 device to acquire the token for presentation. The other call party may accept or reject the request. The presenter device sends out a token release message when it is no longer needed. Topology and Protocol Interoperability Limitation Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports only H.239 in H.323 to H.323 calls. Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows H.239 calls to be established across H.323 intercluster trunk or multiple nodes. If an H.239-enabled device attempts to make a call with a non-H323 end, the H.239 capabilities will get ignored and the call will get conducted like the traditional video calls that are supported by Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not support a second video channel when a media termination point or transcoder is inserted into the call. If it happens, the call will fall back to normal video calls. Midcall Feature Limitation Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports opening second video channels only in direct H.323 to H.323 calls. Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 869 SIP Interoperability Number of Video Channels Allowed

Page 912#

chunk 861

Do not attempt to invoke any midcall features such as call transfer or hold/resume operations. Doing so can lead to problems and the second video channel can get disconnected. Caution Video Support Unified Communications Manager supports video over H.323, SCCP and SIP protocols. Skinny Client Control Protocol Video Skinny Client Control Protocol video exhibits the following characteristics: • If a phone that is running Skinny Client Control Protocol reports video capabilities, Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically opens a video channel if the other end supports video. • For Skinny Client Control Protocol video calls, system administration determines video call bandwidth by using regions. The system does not ask users for bit rate. SIP Video SIP video supports the following video calls by using the SIP Signaling Interface (SSI): • SIP to SIP • SIP to H.323 • SIP to SCCP • SIP intercluster trunk • H.323 trunk • Combination of SIP and H.323 trunk SIP video calls also provide media control functions for video conferencing. Unified Communications Manager video supports SIP on both SIP trunks and lines support video signaling. SIP supports the H.261, H.263, H.263+, H.264 (AVC), H.264 (SVC), X-H.264UC (Lync), and AV1 video codecs (it does not support the wideband video codec that the VTA uses). Only some of the endpoints supports AV1 codec. For more information, see Compatability Matrix.

SIP Trunks • On the Trunk Configuration window in Unified Communications Manager, check the Retry Video Call as Audio check box if you want the call to use audio when the video connection is not available. • Reset the trunk. Third-Party SIP Endpoints • On the Phone Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, check the Retry Video Call as Audio check box if you want the call to use audio when the video connection is not available. • Reset the endpoint. Cisco Video Conference Bridges Unified Communications Manager supports a variety of solutions for video conferencing. The following video conference bridges support ad hoc and meet-me video conferencing: • Cisco TelePresence MCU • Cisco TelePresence Conductor • Cisco Meeting Server Cisco TelePresence MCU Video Conference Bridge Cisco TelePresence MCU is a set of hardware conference bridges for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The Cisco TelePresence MCU is a high-definition (HD) multipoint video conferencing bridge. It delivers up to 1080p at 30 frames per second, full continuous presence for all conferences, full transcoding, and is ideal for mixed HD endpoint environments. The Cisco TelePresence MCU supports SIP as the signaling call control protocol. It has a built in Web Server that allows for complete configuration, control, and monitoring of the system and conferences. The Cisco TelePresence MCU provides XML management API over HTTP. Cisco TelePresence MCU allows both ad hoc and meet-me voice and video conferencing. Each conference bridge can host several simultaneous, multiparty conferences. Cisco TelePresence MCU must be configured in Port Reservation mode. Cisco TelePresence Conductor Video Conference Bridge Cisco TelePresence Conductor provides intelligent conference administrative controls and is scalable, supporting device clustering for load balancing across MCUs and multiple device availability. Administrators can implement the Cisco TelePresence Conductor as either an appliance or a virtualized application on VMware with support for Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) platforms or third-party-based platforms. Multiway conferencing, that allows for dynamic two-way to three-way conferencing, is also supported. Cisco TelePresence Conductor supports both ad hoc and meet-me voice and video conferencing. Cisco TelePresence Conductor dynamically selects the most appropriate Cisco TelePresence resource for each new conference. Ad hoc, “MeetMe” and scheduled voice and video conferences can dynamically grow and exceed the capacity of individual MCUs. One Cisco TelePresence Conductor appliance or Cisco TelePresence Conductor cluster has a system capacity of 30 MCUs or 2400 MCU ports. Up to three Cisco TelePresence Conductor appliances or virtualized applications may be clustered to provide greater resilience.

Cisco Meeting Server The Cisco Meeting Server conference bridge solution allows Ad Hoc, Meet-Me, Conference Now, and Rendezvous conferences. This conference bridge offers premises-based audio, video, and web conferencing, and works with third-party on-premises infrastructure. It scales for small or large deployments. You can add capacity incrementally as needed, to ensure that you can support the current and future needs of your organization. This conference bridge provides advanced interoperability. Any number of participants can create and join meetings from: • Cisco or third-party room or desktop video systems • Cisco Jabber Client • Cisco Meeting App (can be native or with a WebRTC compatible browser) • Skype for Business A minimum release of Cisco Meeting Server 2.0 is required to use the Cisco Meeting Server conference bridge. The Cisco Meeting Server supports SIP as the signaling call control protocol. It has a built in Web Server that allows for complete configuration, control, and monitoring of the system and conferences. The Cisco Meeting Server provides XML management API over HTTP. Cisco Meeting Server is enhanced to support AV1 codec and does not support H.265 video codec and Far End Camera Control (FECC). Note Video Encryption Unified Communications Manager supports encryption of audio, video, and other media streams so long as the individual endpoints involved in the communication also support encryption. Unified CM uses the Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) to encrypt the media streams. Some of the features include: • Support for SIP and H.323 endpoints • Support for encryption of main audio and video line while operating in Media Termination Point (MTP) passthru mode • Support for multiple encryption methods • Support for Session Description Protocol (SDP) crypto-suite session parameters in accordance with RFC 4568 To provide encrypted communications, encryption keys are exchanged between the endpoints and Unified Communications Manager during the SIP call setup. For this reason, the SIP signaling should be encrypted using TLS. During the initial call setup, the video endpoints exchange a list of encryption methods they support, select an encryption suite supported by both endpoints, and exchange encryption keys. If the endpoints cannot agree on a common encryption suite, the media streams are unencrypted and transported using the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP).

chunk 864

If the individual endpoints do not support encryption, the communication will take place using RTP. Note Configure Interop with VCS Perform the following steps on the SIP trunk that connects Unified Communications Manager to Cisco VCS to enable Unified CM to interoperate with a Cisco VCS. Procedure Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Device > Trunk. Step 2 Perform one of the following: • Click Find and select an existing trunk. • Click Add New to configure a new trunk. Step 3 In the Trunk Configuration window, choose the Trunk Type, Device Protocol, Trunk Service Type that connects Unified Communications Manager to the Cisco VCS and click Next. Step 4 In the SIP Profile drop-down list, choose Standard SIP Profile for VCS. Step 5 In the Normalization Script drop-down list, choose vcs-interop. Step 6 In the Normalization Script area, leave the Parameter Name and Parameter Value fields empty. If these fields are populated with values, delete the contents of the field. Step 7 Click Save. Video Features The following video-related features are supported in SIP video networks: • Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) • Encrypted iX Channel • Far End Camera Control (FECC) Endpoint Support for the Binary Floor Control Protocol Unified Communications Manager provides support for the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) for specific Cisco and third-party video endpoints. BFCP allows users to share a presentation within an ongoing video conversation.

Encrypted iX Channel Unified Communications Manager supports an encrypted iX channel. The iX channel provides a reliable channel for multiplexing application media between SIP phones in a video conference. Encrypted iX Channel uses DTLS to add security to your deployment and ensures that the application media is sent over the iX Channel is private and cannot be viewed by intermediate parties who attempt to intercept media. IOS MTP and RSVP agents in pass through mode also support encrypted iX Channel. Configuration To enable an encrypted iX Channel on Unified Communications Manager, you must: • Check the Allow iX Application Media check box in the SIP Profile Configuration that is used by any intermediate SIP trunks. This setting turns on the iX channel negotiation. • Configure the Secure Call Icon Display Policy service parameter to enable a secure lock icon. By default, the setting is All media except BFCP and iX transports must be encrypted. Encryption Modes There are two types of Session Description Protocol (SDP) offers thatUnified Communications Manager supports for iX Channel encryption for encrypted phones. This encryption type is driven by what the endpoints support and is not a configurable item in the Unified Communications Manager. • Best Effort Encryption—The SDP offer is for an encrypted iX Channel, but falls back to a non-encrypted iX Channel if the SIP peers do not support it. This approach can be used if encryption is not mandatory in the solution. For example, encryption is mandatory within the cloud, and not in a single enterprise. Best-Effort iX Encryption m=application 12345 UDP/UDT/IX * a=setup:actpass a=fingerprint: SHA-1 <key> • Forced Encryption—The SDP offer is for an encrypted iX Channel only. This offer is rejected if the SIP peers do not support iX Channel encryption. This approach can be used in deployments where encryption is mandatory between endpoints. For example, encryption is mandatory between the two SIP devices. Forced iX Encryption m=application 12345 UDP/DTLS/UDT/IX * a=setup:actpass a=fingerprint: SHA-1 <key> By default, all Cisco IP Phones are set to offer Best Effort iX Encryption. However, you can reset this to Forced Encryption by setting the Encryption Mode to On within the Product-Specific Configuration of Cisco TelePresence endpoints, or by reconfiguring settings on the Cisco Meeting Server.

Non-Encrypted Modes Unified Communications Managerenables negotiation of secure active control messages in media path from endpoints in a meeting when the endpoint may not be deployed in a fully secure mode. For example, if the endpoint is Off-Net and is registered with Unified CM in Mobile and Remote Access mode. Prerequisite Before you start using this feature, make sure that: • System adheres to the export compliance requirement • SIP trunk to the conference bridge is secure Unified CM can negotiate the DTLS information in secure active control messages for non-secure endpoints or softphones and receive messages in the following ways: • Best Effort Encryption iX to On-Premise registered endpoints or softphones • Forced iX Encryption to Off-Premise registered endpoints or softphones Far End Camera Control Protocol Support The Far End Camera Control (FECC) protocol allows you to control a remote camera. Within video calls, FECC allows the party at one end of the call to control the camera at the far end. This control can include panning the camera from one side to the other, tilting the camera, or zooming in and out. For video conferences that use multiple cameras, FECC can be used to switch from one camera to another. Unified Communications Manager supports the FECC protocol for video endpoints that are FECC-capable. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports FECC for SIP-SIP calls or H.323-H.323 calls, but does not support FECC for SIP-H.323 calls. To support FECC, Unified Communications Manager sets the application media channel through SIP or H.323 signaling. After the media channel is established, the individual endpoints can communicate the FECC signaling. QoS for Video Networks Cisco Unified Communications Manager contains a number of administrative tools for managing Quality of Service (QoS) for video networks: • Bandwidth Management—Mange bandwidth allocations for specific Regions and Locations • Enhanced Locations Call Admission Control • Session Level Bandwidth Modifiers • Flexible DSCP Markings • Alternate Routing Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 875 SIP Interoperability Non-Encrypted Modes

Bandwidth Management Bandwidth allocations for audio and video calls are managed through regions and locations that you configure in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. The amount of bandwidth available for a specific call must be able to manage the combination of all media streams that are associated with the session, including voice, video, signaling, and any extra media, such as a BFCP presentation. Cisco Unified Communications Manager contains features able to manage bandwidth. Enhanced Locations Call Admission Control Enhanced Locations Call Admission Control (CAC) enables you to control the audio and video quality of calls over a wide-area (IP WAN) link by limiting the number of calls that are allowed on that link at the same time. For example, you can use call admission control to regulate the voice quality on a 56-kb/s frame relay line that connects your main campus and a remote site. CAC verifies whether there is sufficient bandwidth available to complete a call. CAC can reject calls due to insufficient bandwidth. In Unified Communications Manager, locations-based call admission control works in conjunction with regions to define the characteristics of a network link. Regions and locations work in the following manner: • Regions allow the bandwidth of video calls to be set. The audio limit on the region may result in filtering out codecs with higher bit rates. However, for video calls, the video limit constrains the quality (resolution and transmission rate) of the video. • Locations define the amount of total bandwidth available for all calls on that link. When a call is made on a link the regional value for that call must be subtracted from the total bandwidth allowed for that link. For more information about call admission control, see chapter 'Configure Enhanced Locations Call Admission Control' in System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager . Session Level Bandwidth Modifiers Unified Communications Manager provides location call admission control support for handling session level bandwidth modifiers. Session level bandwidth modifiers are communicated as part of the parameters in the SDP portion of the initial SIP signaling. These parameters indicate the maximum amount of bandwidth each endpoint will support for that type of call. These parameters are used, along with regions and locations settings, to set the bandwidth for each call. During the initial call setup, both parties communicate to Unified Communications Manager their maximum allowed bandwidth for the call. Unified Communications Manager passes this communication to the other endpoint, but if the bandwidth that is specified by the endpoint is greater than the region setting, Unified Communications Manager replaces the value with the region bandwidth value. Unified Communications Manager uses the following rules to determine the amount of bandwidth to allocate to a specific call: • When Unified Communications Manager receives an Offer or Answer from an endpoint, it checks whether there is a session level bandwidth modifier in the SDP: Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 876 SIP Interoperability Bandwidth Management

Page 919#

chunk 868

• If there is a session level bandwidth modifier, Unified Communications Manager retrieves the bandwidth value from the modifier. If there is more than one modifier type, it retrieves the modifier in the following order of preference: Transport Independent Application Specific (TIAS), Application Specific (AS), Conference Total (CT). • If there is no session level bandwidth modifier, Unified Communications Manager retrieves the bandwidth value from the sum of the media level bandwidth modifiers. • The allocated bandwidth is the maximum of what the two endpoints support up to the maximum value of the Region setting. The allocated bandwidth cannot exceed the region setting. Unified Communications Manager uses the following logic when communicating with endpoints: • When generating an Answer, Early Offer or Re-Invite Offer to an endpoint that contains more than one session level bandwidth modifier type (TIAS, AS, CT), Unified Communications Manager uses the same bandwidth value for each. • When generating an answer, Unified Communications Manager uses the same session level bandwidth modifier type (TIAS, CT, AS) that was received in the initial offer • For backward compatibility, the older Unified Communications Manager suppresses the Session Level Bandwidth Modifier when a video call is put on hold and music on hold (MOH) is inserted. Video Resolution Support for SIP Phones Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the imageattr line in the SDP portion of the SIP header for higher resolution video calls. Cisco SIP phones that support w360p (640 x 360), such as the 9951, 9971, and 8961, automatically select the best resolution for video calls depending on the following criteria: • If the session level bandwidth is greater than 800Kb/s and the imageattr[640 x 480] line in the SDP exists, then VGA is used. • If the session level bandwidth is greater than 800Kb/s and the imageattr[640 x 480] line in the SDP does not exist, then w360p is used. • If the session level bandwidth is less than 800Kb/s but greater than 480 bits per second and the imageattr[640 x 480] line exists, then VGA 15 frames per second is used. If you currently have a Cisco IP Phone model 9951, 9971, or 8961 that supports w360p (640 x 360) video resolution and are upgrading to Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 8.5(1) or later, you may notice changes in the resolution of video calls. The w360p resolution was introduced at phone load 9.2(1). Note The following video call flow is between two 9951 phones (Phone A and Phone B) without imageattr line support (for example, using Cisco Unified Communications Manager releases 8.0(1) and earlier): 1. Phone A sends a SIP message with an imageattr line in the SDP. 2. Cisco Unified Communications Manager deletes the imageattr line in the SDP and then sends the modified SIP message to Phone B. 3. Phone B attempts to send video with the w360p resolution because there is no imageattr line in the SDP portion of the SIP header.

The following video call flow is between two 9951 phones (Phone A and Phone B) with imageattr line support (for example, using Cisco Unified Communications Manager releases 8.5(1) and later): 1. Phone A sends a SIP message with the imageattr line in the SDP. 2. Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not delete the imageattr line and sends the SIP message to Phone B unchanged. 3. Phone B attempts to send video with the VGA resolution. Alternate Routing If an endpoint cannot obtain the bandwidth that it needs for a video call, a video call retries as an audio call for the default behavior. To use route/hunt lists or Automated Alternate Routing (AAR) groups to try different paths for such video calls, uncheck the Retry Video Call as Audio setting in the configuration settings for applicable gateways, trunks, and phones. For more information, see Configure AAR Group section under Configure Call Routing chapter in the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Flexible DSCP Markings Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) packet marking, is used to specify the class of service for each packet. DSCP marking lets you prioritize certain types of calls or media over other types. For example, you can prioritize audio over video so that, even if you experience network bandwidth issues, audio calls should not experience bandwidth issues. You can customize DSCP markings in either of these ways: • Configure cluster wide service parameters to set the default DSCP settings for the cluster • (Optional) For a subset of the DSCP categories, you can assign customized DSCP settings to devices via the SIP Profile. For the devices that use the profile, the customized settings override the service parameter defaults. For more information on how to configure DSCP markings, see 'Configure Flexible DSCP Marking and Video Promotion' chapter in the Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Phone Configuration for Video Calls The following setting for video-enabled devices affects video calls: • Retry Video Call as Audio-By default, this check box remains checked. Thus, if an endpoint (phone, gateway, trunk) cannot obtain the bandwidth that it needs for a video call, call control retries the call as an audio call. This setting applies to the destination devices of video calls. • Video Capabilities Enabled/disabled-This drop-down list box turns video capabilities on and off. Conference Control for Video Conferencing Unified Communications Manager supports the following conference controls capabilities: Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 15 and SUs 878 SIP Interoperability Alternate Routing

• Roster/Attendee List • Drop Participant • Terminate Conference • Show Conference Chairperson/Controller • Continuous Presence Unified Communications Manager also supports the following video conference capabilities for Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) phones: • Display controls for video conferences. The SCCP phones can choose to use the continuous presence or voice-activated mode to view the video conference. When a mode is chosen, a message gets sent to the bridge to indicate which mode to use on the video channel. Switching between modes does not require renegotiation of media. • Display participant information such as the user name in the video stream. The system can use the participant information for other conferencing features such as roster. For more information, see 'Encrypted iX Channel' chapter in the Security Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

C H A P T E R 74 The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Emergency Call Routing Regulations • Emergency Call Routing Regulations Overview, on page 885 • Configure Emergency Call Routing Regulations, on page 887 Emergency Call Routing Regulations Overview Emergency Call Routing Regulation provides us with information in compliance with the US FCC laws on how the Emergency Calls (911) are configured and routed in the US and non-US time zones. The US FCC signed the following laws to ease public safety by encouraging and enabling the prompt deployment of a nationwide, seamless communications infrastructure for emergency services. The US FCC signed the following laws on Emergency Call (911) routing: • Kari's Law—This law applies to Multi-Line Telephone Systems (MLTS) that serve users in settings such as office buildings, campuses, and hotels. The FCC requires MLTS to enable users to dial 911 directly, without dialing a prefix reach an outside line and notifies the front desk or security office when emergency calls are made. • Ray Baum's Act—Under section 506 of Ray Baum’s act, dispatch the location details (a street address, building number, floor number, room number) with emergency calls regardless of the technological platform used so that the 911 call centers receive the caller's location automatically and can dispatch responders more quickly. For more information on FCC laws, see https://www.fcc.gov/mlts-911-requirements An Emergency Responder effectively manages calls in the telephony network to respond and handle all emergency calls in compliance with local ordinances. It also dispatches location details and notifications are dispatched to the Unified Communications Manager. The following image shows the connection between the Emergency Responder and Unified Communications Manager.

For more information on Cisco Emergency Responder, see Cisco Emergency Responder Administration Guide. Unified Communications Manager as MLTS The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration is an MLTS that has an inbuilt software to detect an absence of a direct 911 dial pattern for systems installed in the US time zone. If the 911 route pattern isn’t enabled, the Cisco Unified CM Administration home page displays an alert message: You have not configured a direct dial 911 pattern on this system. Federal Communication Commission rules mandate that most multi-line telephone systems in the US have a direct dial 911 pattern. If the system installed in a non-US time zone, where FCC laws aren't applicable, Emergency Call Routing Regulations configuration page disabled in the Unified Communications Manager. You should consult with their legal counselor on the applicability of FCC laws and acknowledge in the system.

Configure Emergency Call Routing Regulations Emergency Call Routing Regulation configured on Unified Communications Manager to acknowledge and configure the direct dial 911 route pattern in compliance with the laws. Before you begin Ensure to take a backup after you accept and configure FCC Laws for future reference. Procedure Step 1 To access the Emergency Call Routing Regulations window, perform either of the following: • From Cisco Unified CM Administration, chooseAdvanced Features > Emergency Call Routing Regulations • Click the link available in the alert notification to configure the 911 route pattern on the home page. Step 2 Check the I have read the above notification,and I have consulted my legal counsel to determine my specific obligations check box to acknowledge the notification. Step 3 Check the Take me to the 911 configuration page check box and click Submit to set up direct 911 notification if the FCC laws are applicable. You are navigated to the Route Pattern Configuration window and by default, a 911 pattern is configured in the Pattern Definition section. Step 4 Choose an appropriate gateway, route, or trunk from the Gateway/Route List drop-down list for the configured pattern. For more information on the other fields and their configurations, see Online Help. Step 5 Click Save. Note If the system installed in the US time zone where FCC laws aren't applicable, acknowledge the law and check the Disable any further notification regarding my 911 obligation check box in the Emergency Call Routing Regulations window and click Submit to disable the 911 notifications. If the laws aren't applicable, the administrator waives the notifications for future upgrades and new installations of the 911 route pattern. The configured settings get preserved for future upgrade. The alert notification disappears on the home page and the Emergency Call Routing Regulations window gets disabled. If the system has already created a 911 route pattern during upgrade or the time zone changed from non-US to US timezone then the acknowledge page is grayed out.
