If the phone is not booting, check your switchport configuration.

Need To Configure Ephone Address Free Lab SIP

Ive got a free lab SIP trunk from SIP-UA (Thanks again), a 2801 route that will support the CME instance, and a 7960 VOIP phone.

You can configure all of the options through the command line which is what Ill be doing today.

Need To Configure Ephone Address Install The GUI

I will, however, still install the GUI and set it up so you can see the process.

This will be the voice VLAN and will be where the CME instance lives.

My standard data VLAN is 10 so I used the switchport access vlan 20 command on the port connecting to the 2801 interface and the switchport voice vlan 20 command on the port connecting to the phone.

Additionally, I created a SVI on VLAN 20 to route traffic back and forth between VLANs.

I cant stress enough that these need to match the Cisco specification exactly.

Make sure that your CME version and IOS version are the same per the Cisco document listed here.

VOIP2801(config) clock timezone CST -5 VOIP2801(config) ntp server 129.6.13.35 VOIP2801(config) Apr 17 22:17:04.295: SYS-6-CLOCKUPDATE: System clock has been updated from 22:17:04 UTC Sun Apr 17 2011 to 17:17:04 CST Sun Apr 17 2011, configured from console by console.

If you wanted it somewhere else you could use the ip-helper command to send the DHCP requests somewhere else.

VOIP2801(config) ip dhcp excluded-address 10.20.20.1 10.20.20.50 VOIP2801(config) ip dhcp pool VOIP VOIP2801(dhcp-config) network 10.20.20.0 255.255.255.0 VOIP2801(dhcp-config) option 150 ip 10.20.20.2 VOIP2801(dhcp-config) lease 7.

I opened the Zip and extracted the files and TARs I wanted to a new folder called CME71.

I extracted the following files cme-gui-7.1.0.0.tar The Web GUI files for CME P00308000500.tar The phone files for my 7960G ringtones.tar Ringtone files, well talk about these in a later post I use the archive command to copy the files and install them into specific folders at the same time.

One for the GUI, one for actual phone code, and one for ringtones.

The phones will use option 150 to find the phone loads and download them locally.

Take note that we are using the alias command because the files are not in the root of the flash directory.

VOIP2801(config) tftp-server flash:CMEPhoneLoadsP00308000500.bin alias P00308000500.bin VOIP2801(config) tftp-server flash:CMEPhoneLoadsP00308000500.loads alias P00308000500.loads VOIP2801(config) tftp-server flash:CMEPhoneLoadsP00308000500.sb2 alias P00308000500.sb2 VOIP2801(config) tftp-server flash:CMEPhoneLoadsP00308000500.sbn alias P00308000500.sbn.

Then we enable telephony services on the router, set a web admin account, and enable configuration from the web GUI.

It also updates the CNF files which are used for phone configuration.

Its required to set these values so the system knows what it has to work with.

Its probably not required at this point since they were already updated twice but I always do it for good measure.

Date, time, and a message indicating that you are on a Cisco Unified CME.
