New and Changed Information

Documentation Errata for Cisco CallManager Extended Services 2.2

Software Download URL: The Cisco CallManager Extended Services Administrator's Guide contains an incorrect link to the URL for downloading Cisco CallManager Extended Services from the Internet.

The correct URL to download Cisco CallManager Extended Services running on Cisco CallManager 3.1 is:

Choose the Cisco CallManager Extended Services .exe file to match your version of Cisco CRA. For example, if you are running Cisco CRA 2.2(2), choose cm-es-ffr.2-2-2.exe.

Co-resident Installation Only: The Cisco CallManager Extended Services Administrator's Guide incorrectly states that you can install Cisco CallManager Extended Services on a server separate from Cisco CallManager. Cisco supports a co-resident installation only; Cisco CallManager Extended Services must be installed on the same server with Cisco CallManager.

Setting Service Parameters: The service parameters for Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility are not service-wide parameters; they apply only to the local Extension Mobility service. If you update the service parameters on one server in the cluster, the service parameter updates are not reflected on the other servers in the cluster. To apply the changes throughout your system, make the changes on each server in the cluster.

Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility Running Cisco CallManager 3.1 or Cisco CallManager 3.2(1)

The following procedures apply to Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility running Cisco CallManager 3.1 or Cisco CallManager 3.2(1). Use the procedures along with the procedures in the Cisco CallManager Extended Services Administrator's Guide:

Installing Cisco CallManager Extended Services on Cisco ICS 7750

If you have the Cisco ICS 7750, use this procedure to install Cisco CallManager Extended Services. You can install Cisco CallManager Extended Services on any system processing engine (SPE) running Cisco CallManager.

To begin the installation on the SPE running Cisco CallManager, connect a mouse, a keyboard and the CD-ROM drive. Use the CD-ROM labeled "Cisco CallManager Extended Services for the ICS 7750."

Follow the installation procedure in the "Installing Cisco CallManager" section of the Cisco CallManager Extended Services Administrator's Guide, with the following changes for Steps 1 through 4:

Step 1

Log on to the SPE running Cisco CallManager with the Windows Administrator username and password.

Step 2

Insert the Cisco CallManager Extended Services for the ICS 7750 CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive attached to the USB port.

Step 3

Wait for the Cisco CallManager Extended Services Installation Wizard to open.

Note

If the autorun does not begin, use Windows Explorer to locate the STISTAGE.EXE file on the CD-ROM drive. Double-click this file to launch the installer.

Step 4

Continue with Step 5 in the "Installing Cisco CallManager" section of the Cisco CallManager Extended Services Administrator's Guide to complete the installation.

Configuring Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility

Follow the procedures in the "Configuring Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility" chapter in the Cisco CallManager Extended Services Administrator's Guide to configure the Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility service.

Setting Up the Directory Link

Step 1

On the server/SPE running Cisco CallManager, choose Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services.

Step 3

At the Logon tab, enter and confirm the password (use the Windows 2000 administrator's password).

{LDAP:error code 49 - Invalid credentials (80004005),
you might need to change the password for DC Directory to match your Windows logon password. See the "Changing the DC Directory Password" section.

Step 10

If the directory configuration is accepted, a command screen appears that launches and runs a script. After the scripts are completed, a confirmation message appears. Click Return to Main Menu.

If you do not want to change the DC Directory password, continue with the next procedure in the Cisco CallManager Extended Services Administrator's Guide, "Adding the Login Application."
