New and Changed Information

This section contains new and changed information about features supported in Cisco ER 1.3(2). This information is not documented in the latest release of the Cisco Emergency Responder Administration Guide 1.3(1).

This section contains these topics:

Switch-port Change Reporting for Wired Cisco Unified IP Phones

Cisco ER 1.3(2) detects changes in the switch-port association of wired Cisco Unified IP Phones. An incremental or full discovery cycle detects Cisco Unified IP Phones that have changed switch-port associations or are newly discovered. Cisco Unified IP Phones that become missing during a complete discovery are also reported. Cisco ER notifies the system administrator of these changes by email.


Note A missing Cisco Unified IP Phone is one that is registered in Cisco Unified CallManager, but is not found behind any switch-port of any switch tracked by Cisco ER. Cisco Unified IP Phones that appear on the `Unlocated Phones' screen in Cisco ER Administration are also included in the missing list. Switch-port Change Reporting reports the location changes for IP Communicator when it is connected to a switch that is tracked by Cisco ER.


The change notification email contains the following information:

The time of change detection. This is the approximate completion time of the discovery cycle that detected the change.

The previous switch IP and port number of the Cisco Unified IP Phone. If the Cisco Unified IP Phone is new, this field is blank.

The current switch IP and port number of the Cisco Unified IP Phone. If the Cisco Unified IP Phone is missing, this field is blank.

The details of the Cisco Unified IP Phone, including the MAC address, device name, Phone Type, IP address and IP Phone extension(s).


Note Configure the email client settings to allow line breaks in the email to improve readability. For more information on configuring the email client, see Configuring Cisco Emergency Responder 1.3(1).


Supported Cisco Unified IP Phones—This feature supports only wired Cisco Unified IP Phones that meet both of these conditions:

Wired Cisco Unified IP Phones discovered behind a LAN switch-port using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) tracking or Content-Addressable Memory (CAM) tracking.

Wired Cisco Unified IP Phones actively registered in Cisco Unified CallManager. The only exception for this rule is Cisco Unified IP Phones previously registered in Cisco Unified CallManager. These Cisco Unified IP Phones are reported as missing.

Cluster Scenario—The active server in each server group within a cluster sends separate notifications for the Cisco Unified IP Phones it discovers and tracks.

Server Group Scenario—Within a server group, Cisco ER performs change detection and notification on the active Cisco ER server only.

Feature Activation—The change detection and notification feature requires manual activation. You must manually activate the change detection and notification feature. To do so, set the DetectLocationChange property to 1. The default value of `0' prohibits change detection. Changes will be reported only for those Cisco Unified IP Phones that are registered in Cisco Unified CallManager and there is a change in the connected switch-port.

The steps for activating the feature are as follows:

Procedure


Step 1 Set the DetectLocationChange property to 1 in the C:\Program Files\CiscoSystems\CiscoER\etc\E911Discovery.properties file.

Step 2 Save the file.

Step 3 Restart the Cisco ER Services. This will activate the feature.


Change Notification conditions—Cisco ER sends change notification email when a full discovery cycle completes under any of these circumstances:

During a normally scheduled discovery.

After a manual start from the Administrator Graphical User Interface (GUI).

As a result of a Cisco Unified CallManager addition from the GUI by the system administrator.

Similarly, a partial discovery cycle sends email notifications under these circumstances:

During a normally scheduled discovery.

As a result of a LAN switch addition to Cisco ER; the system administrator starts the discovery process.

As a result of the system administrator selecting the Locate Switch Ports button on the LAN switch details page.


Note An incremental discovery does not locate missing Cisco Unified IP Phones from Cisco Unified CallManager if no phone registrations take place during the discovery cycle. A full discovery detects all missing Cisco Unified IP Phones that are located since the previous full discovery.


The following events do not result in a change notification:

When the CERServer starts following the first discovery cycle.

When a Publisher returns to an online state following the first discovery cycle.

When no phone location changes occur following a discovery cycle.

Location Assignment and Call Routing Precedence

The following information about Location Assignment and Call Routing Precedence replaces the existing section in the Cisco Emergency Responder Administration Guide 1.3(1), Cisco Emergency Responder's Call Routing Order.

Cisco ER directs emergency calls based on the location of the phone from which the call is placed. The location of the phone is determined by the following methods, in order of precedence:

Synthetic phones—The MAC address of the phone matches that of a synthetic phone and is assigned to a test Emergency Response Location (ERL). See Adding Synthetic Phones and Configuring Test ERLs.

IP Phones tracked behind a switch-port—The MAC address of the IP phone is tracked behind a switch-port assigned to an ERL. See Configuring Switch Ports.

IP Phones tracked using IP subnet—The IP address of an IP phone belongs to an IP subnet assigned to an ERL. See Configuring IP Subnet-based ERLs.

IP Phones tracked by another (remote) Cisco ER server group in the same ER cluster—The remote server group tracks an IP phone behind a switch-port or by IP subnet. When an emergency call is received, it is forwarded to the Cisco Unified CallManager cluster served by the remote Cisco ER Server Group. See Phones Moving Between Clusters.

Manually Configured Phones—The line number of the phone is manually assigned to an ERL. See Manually Defining a Phone.

Unlocated Phones—The MAC address of an IP phone is assigned to an ERL. See Identifying Unlocated Phones.

Default ERL—None of the above criteria is used to determine the phone location. The call is routed to the default ERL. See Setting Up the Default ERL.


Note MAC and/or IP address tracking is recommended for Cisco Unified IP Phones. IP phones which are not tracked by MAC or IP address will appear as Unlocated Phones, even if they are assigned a location by manual line number configuration.


Customers should resolve problems that prevent IP phones from being tracked by MAC or IP address (see Too Many Unlocated Phones), so IP phones will be not removed from the Unlocated Phones page. An ERL may be assigned directly to an IP Phone on the Unlocated Phones page, but this assignment will not take effect if the phone is assigned a location by manual line number configuration. Use the ERL Debug Tool to determine the ERL assignment in effect for an IP Phone that appears on the Unlocated Phones page.

Identifying Unlocated Phones

Cisco ER defines unlocated phones as those Cisco Unified IP Phones which meet all of the criteria below:

The IP phone is registered to a Cisco Unified CallManager known to the Cisco ER group.

The MAC address of the IP Phone is not tracked behind a switch-port.

The IP Address of the IP Phone is not tracked using IP Subnets.

The MAC Address of the IP Phone is not defined as a synthetic phone in Cisco ER.


Note Cisco Unified IP Phones tracked by a remote Cisco ER server group and IP Phones having line numbers manually assigned to an ERL will also appear in the Unlocated Phones screen.


Assigning ERLs to Unlocated Phones

Cisco ER provides a procedure to assign an ERL to IP Phones that are displayed on the Unlocated Phones screen. This assignment associates the MAC address of the unlocated phone with an ERL that is selected by the administrator. These rules apply to this association:

The association of an ERL with an IP Phone on the unlocated phones screen does not change the status of the IP Phone; it remains on the unlocated phones screen. This is because the IP Phone will continue to match the criteria for unlocated phones as described above.

The ERL association is used only when the IP Phone is unlocated, as determined by Cisco ER, using the above rule.

For example, Phone A is currently unlocated and appears on the unlocated phones screen. Using the ERL assignment feature for unlocated phones, Location A is assigned as the ERL for this phone. A subsequent phone tracking cycle finds Phone A behind a switch-port and it no longer appears in the Unlocated Phones screen. The Phone A-to-Location-A assignment is no longer valid. Because the association is persistent, if the IP Phone is unlocated at any future time, the assignment will be valid.

New Server Part Numbers

The following section highlights new server part numbers provided by Cisco ER 1.3(2). The new part numbers are for these Nantucket Ph 2 servers.

MCS-7825-H2-IPC1 (+950 CPU) is now MCS-7825-H2-IPC2

MCS-7825-I2-IPC1 (+950 CPU) is now MCS-7825-I2-IPC2

New Software and Hardware Support

The following sections highlight new support provided by Cisco ER 1.3(2).

Resolution of Caveats

Resolution of CSCse82561—The Installation Guide, Release Note and Planning Guide for Cisco ER 1.3(1a) include the support information and configuration instructions for Voice Gateway (VG) 248. Cisco ER 1.3(2) supports Voice Gateway (VG) 224 configuration similar to the VG 248 support. Refer to Configuring Cisco ER 1.3(1) or Release Notes for Cisco Emergency Responder 1.3(1a) for information on configuring High Density Voice Gateways. Use the instructions for VG 248 to configure VG 224 Voice Gateways.

Resolution of CSCsg27148—On a 4924 Metro switch, ports without `pluggable' ports inserted are not discovered during an incremental discovery. A full discovery or a manual selective discovery locates these ports where the optics have been moved to another port without `pluggable' ports.

For a complete list of resolved caveats, see the "Resolved Caveats" section.

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
