Cisco Voice Manager (CVM) Version 1.1 is the web-based solution to manage Voice over IP (VoIP) functionality in Cisco 2600 series and Cisco 3600 series routers, Cisco AS5300 universal access servers, and Cisco MC3810 multiservice access concentrators. With this task-oriented, easy-to-use application, you can:
Configure dial plans and voice interfaces
Monitor Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps and resource utilization
Test dial path configuration and connectivity
Generate call history reports
Note Cisco MC3810 multiservice access concentrator support is limited to call history polling and database backup.
This section lists the software requirements to run Cisco Voice Manager (CVM) on Solaris and provides recommendations for running CVM on clients. Clients can access CVM from a variety of web browsers; however, for best results, Cisco recommends using one of the browsers listed in this section.
Minimum 100 MB of available disk space—For high call volume networks, additional disk space is required. The required disk space is approximately 4K per call times the number of days the call history data is stored in the database. For example, 10,000 calls per day requires an additional 80 MB (10,000 calls x 4K x 2 days storage).
Minimum 256 MB of memory—Additional memory required for high call volume networks.
Processor running at 333 MHz—Additional processor speed needed for networks with high call volume.
Solaris 2.5.1 or 2.6 OS installed.
Java web server, Java Development Kit 1.1.6, and Sybase SQLAnywhere database bundled with the CVM Solaris CD-ROM.
where CDROM directory identifies the CD-ROM drive on the machine.
CVM will be installed in the /opt/CSCOvoip directory. Using any other option with pkgadd to override this location will cause the installation to fail.
4. Choose CSCOvoip from the package list to install the CVM software.
5. Answer yes each time pkgadd asks you to continue. The CVM installation will check the following:
Available disk space—A warning will appear if there is not enough disk space available.
Adequate memory—A warning will appear if the recommended memory size is not met.
If these criteria are met, you will see "Installation was successful."
where CDROM directory identifies the CD-ROM drive on the machine.
CVM will be installed in the /opt/CSCOvoip directory. Using any other option with pkgadd to override this location will cause the installation to fail.
5. Enter CSCOvoip to install the package
6. Answer yes each time pkgaddasks you to continue, until you see "Installation was successful."
These scripts will work only if CVM is running. The backup files are written to rtr.backup and user.backup, respectively, in the /opt/CSCOvoip/ directory.
All administrative users must complete the tasks in the Administrative Task List before end users can use the Cisco Voice Manager (CVM) application to configure and monitor their VoIP network. To access the CVM Administrative Task List, log in as admin with the default password, admin. After logging in, you can change the password by accessing the User List.
The administrator always has read/write privileges for all routers. This cannot be changed.
The administrative tasks are as follows:
Create Router List—Create a list that contains all the voice-enabled routers to be managed and their SNMP and router configuration passwords. Use this Router List in all the Router selection pull-down menus in the VoIP tasks.
Note Cisco MC3810 multiservice access concentrator support is limited to call history polling and database backup.
Create User List—Create a list that contains all the valid end users that can access the CVM application and configure and monitor VoIP. The access privilege (Read only or Read/Write) for each router and for each CVM end user can also be specified here.
Define Message Log Options—Configure what types of messages to keep on the server.
Define System Parameters—Configure call history polling on the routers, which is required to generate the call history reports. This task also configures the parameters for the database in CVM.
Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM, a member of the Cisco Connection Family, is updated monthly. Therefore, it might be more current than printed documentation. To order additional copies of the Documentation CD-ROM, contact your local sales representative or call customer service. The CD-ROM package is available as a single package or as an annual subscription.
