Cisco Unified CME Commands: A


Last Updated: September 4, 2007
First Published: February 27, 2006

This chapter contains commands to configure and maintain Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (formally known as Cisco Unified CallManager Express). The commands are presented in alphabetical order. Some commands required for configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (Cisco Unified CME) may be found in other Cisco IOS command references. Use the command reference master index or search online to find these commands.

after-hour exempt

To specify that an individual IP phone in Cisco Unified CME does not have any of its outgoing calls blocked even though after-hour call blocking has been enabled, use the after-hour exempt command in ephone or ephone-template configuration mode. To remove the exemption, use the no form of this command.

after-hour exempt

no after-hour exempt

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

The SCCP phone is not exempt from call blocking.

Command Modes

12.2(15)ZJ

Cisco CME 3.0

This command was introduced.

12.3(4)T

Cisco CME 3.0

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)T.

12.4(4)XC

Cisco Unified CME 4.0

This command was made available in ephone-template configuration mode.

12.4(9)T

Cisco Unified CME 4.0

This command in the ephone-template configuration mode was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T.


Usage Guidelines

Use this command to exempt an individual SCCP phone from call blocking and enable the phone user to place outgoing calls regardless of whether the outgoing called number matches the defined pattern of digits during the call blocking periods.

By default, all IP phones in a Cisco Unified CME system are subject to call blocking if the Call Blocking feature is configured.

If you use an ephone template to apply a command to a phone and you also use the same command in ephone configuration mode for the same phone, the value that you set in ephone configuration mode has priority.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure this phone so that outgoing calls are not blocked:

Router(config)# ephone 23
Router(config-ephone)# mac 00e0.8646.9242
Router(config-ephone)# button 1:33
Router(config-ephone)# after-hour exempt

12.4(4)T

Cisco CME 3.4 and Cisco SIP SRST 3.4

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command in voice register dn configuration exempts an individual SIP extension number or telephone number from call-blocking criteria.

This command in voice register pool configuration exempts all numbers associated with a SIP IP phone from call-blocking criteria.

To define call blocking for IP phones in Cisco Unified CME: First, define one or more patterns of outgoing digits by using the after-hours block pattern command in either telephony-service configuration mode for Cisco Unified CME or in call-manager-fallback configuration mode for Cisco Unified SIP SRST. Next, define one or more time periods during which calls that match those patterns are to be blocked by using the after-hours date or after-hours day command or both.

By default, all Cisco IP phones in a Cisco Unified CME or Cisco Unified SIP SRST system are restricted during the specified time if at least one pattern and at least one time period are defined. A SIP phone extension is exempt as long as the after-hour exempt command is configured in voice register dn or in voice register pool configuration mode.


Note This command can also be used for Cisco SIP SRST.


Examples

The following example shows how to configure extension 5001, under directory number 2 so that outgoing calls are not blocked:

Router(config)# voice register dn 2
Router(config-register-dn)# number 5001
Router(config-register-dn)# after-hour exempt

The following example shows how to configure a particular SIP phone, specified by the voice register pool command, so that outgoing calls are not blocked:

Router(config)# voice register pool 23
Router(config-register-pool)# after-hour exempt

This command was introduced.

12.3(4)T

3.0

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)T.


Usage Guidelines

Call blocking on IP phones is defined in the following way. First, one or more patterns of outgoing digits are defined using the after-hours block pattern command. Next, one or more time periods during which calls that match those patterns are to be blocked are defined using the after-hours date or after-hours day command or both. By default, all IP phones in a Cisco CallManager Express system are restricted during the specified time if at least one pattern and at least one time period are defined. Individual phones can be exempted from call blocking using the after-hour exempt command.

Blocked calls return a fast-busy tone to the user for approximately 10 seconds before the call is terminated and the line is returned to on-hook status.

Examples

The following example defines pattern 1, which blocks international calls after hours for a Cisco CallManager Express system that requires dialing 9 for external calls:

Router(config)# telephony-service
Router(config-telephony)# after-hours block pattern 1 9011

12.4(11)XJ

Cisco Unified CME 4.1

This command was introduced.

12.4(15)T

Cisco Unified CME 4.1

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T.


Usage Guidelines

This command controls whether a phone line associated with a directory number can be watched as part of a presence service. The directory number is enabled as a presentity that can be watched by internal and external watchers. Presence service must be enabled on Cisco Unified CME. Another phone, acting as a watcher, can monitor the status of this phone line when the blf-speed-dial or presence call-list command is enabled for that phone.

If you use an ephone-dn template to apply a command to a directory number and you also use the same command in ephone-dn configuration mode, the value that you set in ephone-dn configuration mode has priority over the ephone-dn template configuration.

Examples

The following example shows that the extension associated with voice register dn 2 can be watched by the phone associated with voice register pool 1:

Router(config)# voice register dn 2
Router(config-register-dn)# number 2102
Router(config-register-dn)# allow watch

Router(config)# voice register pool 1
Router(config-register-pool)# id mac 0015.6247.EF90

Cisco CME 3.4

This command was introduced.

12.4(11)XJ

Cisco Unified CME 4.1
Cisco Unified SRST 4.1

The credential, ood-refer, presence, and register keywords were added. The register keyword replaced the all keyword.

12.4(15)T

Cisco Unified CME 4.1
Cisco Unified SRST 4.1

The modifications to this command were integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T.


Usage Guidelines

The credential keyword allows OOD-R and presence service to use credential files for authentication. Up to five text files containing username and password pairs can be defined and loaded into the system. The contents of these five files are mutually exclusive; the username and password pairs must be unique across all the files. For Cisco Unified CME, the username and password pairs cannot be the same ones defined for SCCP or SIP phones with the username command.

The ood-refer keyword specifies that any OOD-R request that passes authentication is authorized to setup calls between referee and refer-target if OOD-R is enabled with the refer-ood enable command.

The presence keyword enables digest authentication for external watchers. Credentials are verified against a credential file stored in flash. This applies to both OOD-R and presence. The default is to authenticate all SUBSCRIBE requests from external watchers. An external watcher that passes authentication is authorized to subscribe to presence service for all lines allowed to be watched.

The register keyword enables authentication for registration requests in which the MAC address of the SIP phone cannot be identified by using other methods. All incoming register requests are challenged and authenticated. The realm keyword with the string argument specifies the character string to be included in the challenge.

Examples

The following example shows that all registration requests from SIP phones in a Cisco Unified CME system must be authenticated:

Router(config)# voice register global
Router(config-register-global)# mode cme
Router(config-register-global)# authenticate register

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to create an ephone configuration for a Cisco Unified IP phone whose MAC address is not explicitly configured as it registers in Cisco Unified CME. The system-created ephone configuration includes the MAC address of the Cisco Unified IP phone being registered and an already-defined available ephone-dn assigned to button 1 of this phone.

The auto-reg-ephone command must be enabled (default) to use this command. If the auto registration feature is disabled, a Cisco Unified IP phone whose MAC address is not explicitly configured cannot register in Cisco Unified CME.

Before using this command, configure the ephone-dn tags to be assigned and define at least one primary number for each dn-tag.

All ephone-dns in a specified range should be of the same type, either single-line or dual-line.

Ephone-dn tags to be assigned must belong to normal ephone-dns and cannot belong to paging ephone-dns, intercom ephone-dns, music-on-hold (MOH) ephone-dns, or message-waiting-indication (MWI) ephone-dns.

The auto assign command cannot create shared lines.

If an insufficient number of dn-tags is available, some ephone configurations will not include a telephone or extension number.

Use multiple auto assign commands to assign discontinuous ranges of ephone-dn tags and to support multiple types of IP phones. Overlapping ranges of dn-tags may be assigned so that they map to more than one type of phone. If no type is specified, the values in the range are assigned to phones of any type, and if a specific range is assigned for a specific phone type, the available ephone-dn tag in that range are used first.

If the phone being registered is connected to a Cisco VG200 series analog phone gateway, configuring the

auto assign command will automatically create one ephone configuration for each configured port, as the port registers with the Cisco Unified CME router. To ensure that the tag-to-port assignment will match the numbering order of the physical ports; for example, dn-tags 1 to 24 assigned to ports 1 to 24 of a Cisco VG224 analog phone gateway, in that order, we recommend that the Cisco Unified CME system be up, running, and configured before you boot the analog phone gateway.

The auto assign command cannot be used for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7914 Expansion Module. Phones with one or more expansion modules must be configured manually.

After using this command, reboot the phone for which an ephone is to be configured.

This command is also used by the Cisco Unified CME setup tool to automatically assign ephone-dns after the tool has gathered information about the setup from the user. When lines are assigned by the Cisco Unified CME setup tool in keyswitch mode with two ephone-dn entries created for each individual extension number, the automatic assignment mechanism assigns both ephone-dn entries to an individual ephone associated with an IP phone.


Note Care should be taken when using the auto assign command because this command grants telephony service to any IP phone that attempts to register. If you use the auto assign command, ensure that your network is secure from unauthorized access by unknown IP phones.


Examples

The following examples show how to configure the Auto Assign feature, including prerequisite commands for configuring the auto assign command.

The following example shows how to enter the ephone-dn configuration and create ephone-dns configurations, tags 1-4, each having a single primary number:

Router(config)# ephone-dn 1

Router(config-ephone-dn)# number 2000

Router(config-ephone-dn)# exit

Router(config)# ephone-dn 2

Router(config-ephone-dn)# number 3000

Router(config-ephone-dn)# exit

Router(config)# ephone-dn 3

Router(config-ephone-dn)# number 4000

Router(config-ephone-dn)# exit

Router(config)# ephone-dn 4

Router(config-ephone-dn)# number 4001

Router(config-ephone-dn)# exit


The following example shows how to designate ephone-dn tags 1 to 4 for automatic assignment to any type of IP phone and then perform a fast reboot of all phones:

Router(config)# telephony-service

Router(config-telephony)# auto assign 1 to 4

Router (config-telephony)# restart all

 

The following example is the partial output from the show ephone registered command listing four registered IP phones, to which ephone-dn tags 1 to 4 have been automatically assigned, after the phones were booted:

Router# show ephone registered

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7905G

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7912G

Cisco Unified IP Phones 7940 and 7940G

Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960 and 7960G

This command is used with the Automatic Agent Status Not-Ready feature for ephone hunt groups, which automatically puts an agent's phone in not-ready status when it exceeds a specified limit. The limit at which the Automatic Agent Status Not-Ready feature is triggered depends on the Cisco CME version that you are using, as follows:

Cisco CME 3.3 and earlier versions—Automatic Agent Status Not-Ready is invoked when an ephone-hunt group call rings longer on a member ephone-dn than the period of time configured in the timeout command in ephone-hunt configuration mode.

Cisco Unified CME 4.0 and later versions—Automatic Agent Status Not-Ready is invoked when the specified number of ephone-hunt group calls is unanswered by an agent. The default is one call if the number of calls is not explicitly specified.

When Automatic Agent Status Not-Ready is specified for an ephone hunt group and it is triggered because an ephone-dn member does not answer a specified number of ephone hunt group calls, the following actions take place:

If the hunt-group logout HLog command has been used, the agent is placed in not-ready status. The agent's phone will not receive further hunt-group calls but will receive calls that directly dial the phone's extension numbers. An agent in not-ready status can return to ready status by pressing the HLog soft key or by using the HLog feature access code (FAC).

If the hunt-group logout HLog command has not been used or if the hunt-group logout DND command has been used, the phone on which the ephone-dn appears is placed into Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, in which the ephone-dn does not receive any calls at all, including hunt-group calls. The red lamp on the phone lights to indicate DND status. An agent in DND mode can return to ready status by pressing the DND soft key or by using the DND FAC.

When an agent returns to ready status, the ephone hunt group resumes sending calls to the agent's ephone-dn.


Note When an agent who is a dynamic member of a hunt group is in not-ready status, the agent's slot in the ephone hunt group is not relinquished. It remains reserved by the agent until the agent leaves the group.


You can use the auto logout command with any number of ephone hunt groups, but any ephone-dn to which the auto logout command applies must belong to only one ephone. Automatic Agent Status Not-Ready is not supported on shared lines.

Examples

This section provides the following examples:

Cisco CME 3.3 and Earlier Versions

Cisco Unified CME 4.0 and Later Versions

Cisco CME 3.3 and Earlier Versions

In the following example, ephone hunt group 1 is configured to permit automatic logout. If hunt group calls that are presented to 1001 and 1002 are unanswered (that is, if they ring longer than 40 seconds each), ephone 1 and ephone 2 are automatically put into DND mode. All unanswered calls are sent to voice mail (5000).

In the following example, Automatic Agent Status Not-Ready is limited to dynamic hunt group members who do not answer two consecutive ephone hunt group calls. Ephone-dn 33, extension 1003, has dynamically joined ephone-hunt group 1. Ephone 3 will be put into DND mode if extension 1003 does not answer two consecutive hunt group calls. Ephones 1 and 2 will not be put into DND if they do not answer hunt-group calls, because the auto logout command applies only to dynamic hunt-group agents.

Router(config)# telephony-service
Router(config-telephony)# hunt-group logout DND

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command creates an IP phone line connection that resembles a private line, automatic ring-down (PLAR). The auto-answer causes an extension (directory number) to operate in auto-dial fashion for outbound calls and auto answer-with-mute for inbound calls. If an extension is configured for intercom operation, it can be associated with one Cisco IP phone only.

Any caller can dial an intercom extension, and a call to an intercom extension that is originated by a nonintercom caller triggers an automatic answer exactly like a legitimate intercom call. To prevent nonintercom originators from manually dialing an intercom destination, you can use alphabetic characters when you assign numbers to intercom extensions by using the number command. These characters cannot be dialed from a normal phone but can be dialed by preprogrammed intercom extensions when calls are made by the router.

Use the reset command to reset an individual SIP phone after you make changes to an extension for a SIP phone in Cisco CME.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the auto-answer feature on SIP phone directory number 1:

Router(config)# voice register dn 1
Router(config-register-dn) number A5001
Router(config-register-dn) auto-answer

Usage Guidelines

Use the auto-line command with no keyword or argument enables automatic line selection on the specified ephone. Picking up a handset answers the first ringing line or, if no line is ringing, selects the first idle line. This is also the default behavior if this command is not used.

Use the auto-line incoming command enables automatic line selection for incoming calls only. Picking up the handset answers the first ringing line and, if no line is ringing, does not select an idle line for an outgoing call. Pressing a line button selects a line for an outgoing call.

Use the auto-line command with the button-number argument specifies the line that will automatically be selected when the handset is picked up to make an outgoing call. If a button number is specified and the line associated with that button is unavailable (because it is a shared line in use on another phone), no dial tone is heard when the handset is lifted. You must press an available line button to make an outgoing call. Incoming calls must be answered by pressing the Answer soft key or pressing the ringing line button.

Use the answer-incoming keyword with the button-number argument enables automatic line selection for incoming calls on the specified button. Picking up the handset answers the incoming call on the line button associated with the button-number argument.

Use the no auto-line command disables automatic line selection on the ephone that is being configured. Pressing the Answer soft key answers the first ringing line, and pressing a line button selects a line for an outgoing call. Picking up the handset does not answer calls or provide dial tone.

Examples

The following example shows how to disable automatic line selection. The phone user must use the Answer soft key or press a line button to answer calls, or the phone user must press a line button to initiate outgoing calls.

Router(config)# ephone 23
Router(config-ephone)# no auto-line

The following example shows how to enable automatic line selection for incoming calls only. The phone user picks up the handset to answer the first ringing line. To make outgoing calls, the phone user must press a line button.

Router(config)# ephone 24
Router(config-ephone)# auto-line incoming

The following example shows how to enable the automatic selection of line button 3 for outgoing calls when the handset is lifted. There is no automatic answering of incoming calls; the user presses the Answer soft key or presses a line button to answer a call.

Modification

12.4(4)XC

Cisco Unified CME 4.0

This command was introduced.

12.4(9)T

Cisco Unified CME 4.0

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T.


Usage Guidelines

This command is enabled by default and allows automatic registration, in which Cisco Unified CME allocates an ephone slot to any ephone that connects to it, regardless of whether the ephone appears in the configuration or not.

The no form of this command blocks the automatic registration of ephones whose MAC addresses are not explicitly listed in the configuration. When automatic registration is blocked, Cisco Unified CME records the MAC addresses of phones that attempt to register but cannot because they are blocked.

Use the show ephone attempted-registrations command to view the list of phones that have attempted to register but have been blocked. Use the clear telephony-service ephone-attempted-registrations command to clear the list of phones that have attempted to register but have been blocked.

Examples

The following example disables automatic registration of ephones that are not listed in the configuration:

Router(config)# telephony-service
Router(config-telephony)# no auto-reg-ephone
