Understanding CiscoCallManager
ExtendedServices
Cisco CallManager Extended Services bring valuable IP telephony capabilities to
a Cisco CallManager deployment. These new extended services significantly
differentiate Cisco’s IP Telephony solution from features provided with
traditional PBX systems.
Cisco CallManager Extended Services consist of two features:
Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility and Cisco CallManager AutoAttendant.
Use this document if you are running Cisco CallManager Extended Services with
Cisco CallManager pre-3.3(2) and Cisco Customer Response Application
(Cisco CRA) 2.2 and later.
Note
With Cisco CallManager 3.3(2) and later, the Cisco CallManager
Extension Mobility application and the Cisco CallManager
Extension Mobility service in Cisco CallManager provide the
extension mobility functionality. The feature no longer requires the
Cisco CRA engine. If you are using Extension Mobility and AutoAttendant
with Cisco CallManager 3.3(2) and later, see the Cisco CallManager Features
and Services Guide at the following URL:

Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility Overview
The Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility feature allows users within a
Cisco CallManager cluster to configure any Cisco IP Phone7960/7940 as their
own, temporarily, by logging in to that phone. Once logged in, the phone adopts
the user’s personal phone number(s), speed dials, services links and other
user-specific properties. After logout, the phone adopts the original user profile.
With Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility, several employees can share office
space on a rotational basis instead of having a designated office.This approach is
commonly used in work environments such as sales offices and consulting firms
where employees do not routinely conduct business in the same place or keep the
same hours every day.
Login Service
Administrators can program the login service, an XML-based authentication
service, for a variety of uses, including duration limits on phone configuration and
login authorization for particular phones. Programming is done in
Cisco CallManager Service Parameters Configuration.
The user interface to the login service is accessed through the Services button on
Cisco IP Phone Models 7960 or 7940. The user enters login information in the
form of a UserID and a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The
Login Application receives the XML-over-HTTP request and verifies the
information against the Cisco IP Telephony Directory (see Figure 1-1). The
phone is reconfigured automatically with the individual user device profile
information.

Cisco CallManager AutoAttendant Overview
The Cisco CallManager AA provides the following functionality:
Answers a call
Plays a user-configurable Welcome prompt
Plays a Main Menu prompt, asking the user to perform one of three actions:
•
•
•
–
–
–
Press “0” for the operator
Press “1” to enter an extension number
Press “2” to spell by name
•
If the caller chooses to spell by name (option 2), the system compares the
letters entered with the names configured to the available extensions.
–
–
–
If one matches, the system prompts the user for confirmation of the name,
and transfers the call to that user’s primary extension.
If there is more than one match, the system prompts the user to select the
correct extension.
If there are too many matches, the system prompts the user to enter more
characters.
•
When the caller has specified the destination, the system transfers the call.
–
If the line is busy or not in service the system informs the user
accordingly and replays the Main Menu prompt.

Chapter 1 Understanding Cisco CallManager Extended Services
Components of Cisco CallManager Extended Services
Components of CiscoCallManager
ExtendedServices
The Cisco Customer Response (CR) Platform provides the components required
to run Cisco CallManager Extended Services. The Cisco CR platform provides a
multimedia (voice/data/Web) IP-enabled customer care application environment.
The Cisco CR Platform uses Voice over IP (VoIP) technology, so your telephony
network can share resources with your data network.
Cisco CallManager Extended Services uses four main components of the
Cisco Customer Response Platform:
•
Gateway—Connects the enterprise IP telephony network to the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and to other private telephone systems
such as Public Branch Exchange (PBX).
•
Cisco CallManager Server—Provides the features required to implement IP
phones, manage gateways, provides failover and redundancy service for the
telephony system, and directs Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic to the
Cisco Customer Response Application (Cisco CRA) system.
•
•
Cisco IP Telephony Directory—Stores configuration information and
Cisco CRA application scripts in a LDAP directory. The subdirectory that
stores Cisco CRA scripts is called the repository. Storing application scripts
and configuration information in an LDAP directory allows you to load
application scripts on any Cisco CRA engine in the network. The repository
keeps one backup version of each script for recovery purposes. You can
revert to the previous version if necessary.
Cisco CRA Server—Contains the Cisco CRA Engine that runs Cisco CRA
applications. Cisco CRA applications comprise a series of steps,
implemented as Java Beans packaged in .jar files.

Rules for Configuring Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility
Managing Device Profiles
A device profile is made up of a set of attributes (services and/or features)
associated with a particular device. Device profiles include name, description,
phone template, add-on modules, directory numbers, subscribed services, and
speed dial information.
You can think of the device profile as a device which is not yet physically
embodied. It has all the properties of a device except those which are explicitly
tied to a device, like MAC address or directory URL, for example.
When a device profile has been loaded onto a device, that device adopts the
attributes of that device profile. A device can adopt a device profile when there is
no user logged in (that is, when a device is first initialized and when a user logs
out) or when a user logs in.
There are two types of device profiles: autogenerated device profiles and user
device profiles.
Autogenerated Device Profile
An autogenerated device profile generates when you update the phone settings
and choose a current setting to generate an autogenerated device profile. An
autogenerated device profile represents a snapshot of an existing device’s
configuration.
The autogenerated device profile associates with a specific phone to be the logout
device profile. That is, when a logout command for a device is received, this is the
profile loaded onto a device.
An autogenerated device profile cannot be associated with a user. An
autogenerated device profile can only be loaded onto a device when there is no
user logged in. You can modify the autogenerated device profile, but not delete it.
User Device Profile
You can assign a user device profile to a user so that when a user logs in or out of
a device, the corresponding user device profile is loaded onto that device. Devices
can adopt user device profiles when a user logs into a device or when there is no
user logged in.You can modify, or delete a user device profile in the Cisco
CallManager administration pages.

Rules for Configuring Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility
Logging In and Logging Out
When a user logs in, the current configuration of a device is replaced by a
particular user device profile.
When a user logs out, the current configuration of a device (the user default device
profile) is replaced by the logout profile.
Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility supports only one login at a time on a
device. Subsequent logins will fail.
Configuration Examples
This section describes different scenarios using Cisco CallManager
Extension Mobility:
•
•
•
Scenario 1: All Users have Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility, page 3-3
Scenario 2: Mixed Configuration, page 3-4
Scenario 3: Mixed Configuration, page 3-4
Scenario 1: All Users have Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility
In a typical Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility scenario, all employees are
users of Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility. The users are configured to have
a default device profile and they do not control their individual phones. They must
log into a phone before they can use it as their extension.
Employees have access to common devices, such as lobby phones, conference
room phones, and cubicle phones that are meant to be shared.
When users go to the Cisco Phone User Options web pages to change their
services or speed dials, they can select only their default device profiles from the
“Select a device to configure” drop-down menu. Any changes users make to their
services follows them to any phone they log into.
Note
In this scenario, users cannot modify settings for an individual phone.
This is a recommended configuration.

Chapter 3 Configuring Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility
Rules for Configuring Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility
Scenario 2: Mixed Configuration
In this configuration, each user has a phone assigned to him. Each user has a
device profile too which follows him on every device he logs into. Each user has
access to common devices, such as lobby phones, conference room phones, and
cubicle phones that are meant to be shared.
Note
In this scenario, no one is allowed to use anyone else’s phone.
This is a recommended configuration.
Scenario 3: Mixed Configuration
In this scenario, some employees may have a regular desk phone and other users
can log into this phone.
This is not a recommended configuration for Cisco CallManager
Extension Mobility for the following reasons.
When a device is configured for Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility, a
snapshot of that device is taken which is used as a profile after a user logs off that
device.
With Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility enabled on Tom’s personal
extension, Tom goes to his Cisco Phone User Options web pages to configure
services. He has two options from the “Select device to configure” drop-down
menu: the device (the office phone) he controls or the Default Device Profile.
•
If Tom selects his office phone and it is a device which a user controls, Tom
can add services such as speed dials or Cisco stock price display. If Dick logs
into that phone, Dick’s default device profile is loaded onto that phone. When
Dick logs off, the snapshot profile, without the speed dials and Cisco stock
price display, is loaded on the phone.
•
If Tom selects his Default Device Profile from the “Select device to
configure” down-down menu, the changes that he makes to this profile will
appear only on the phone on which he logs into immediately after making the
change and not on the device he controls.

Rules for Configuring Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility
Configuration Rules
To avoid problems deploying Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility, be sure to
follow these configuration rules:
•
If you want to enable all phones within your Cisco CallManager cluster for
Cisco CallManger Extension Mobility, you must not allow the users to
control these devices. That is, when a user goes to the Cisco IP Phone User
Options web page to change his services, he can only select “Default Device
Profile” from the “Select a device to configure” drop-down list. He cannot
modify the settings for an individual phone.
•
If there is a device which a particular user controls, for example, his office
phone, you must not allow anyone else to log into that device.
Note
Note
The administrator can change the services for a phone in the
Cisco CallManager Administration page. After making the changes, if he
updates on the main page (not the pop up menu) the administrator is prompted
to reset the phone for the changes to take affect. Then, the new snapshot is
stored as the logout profile.
It is recommended that each user of Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility
log into his phone at the beginning of the work day. This ensures that his
default device profile is loaded on his phone. He can make changes to this
profile and it will follow him where he logs in.

Configuring Directory Information
The Cisco IP Telephony Directory server stores two types of information used by
your Cisco Customer Response Application (Cisco CRA) Engine. First, it stores
directory information, which includes CTI port and routing configurations.
Second, it contains the repository subdirectory, which stores the applications you
create with the Cisco CRA Engine.
If your Cisco IP Telephony solution includes one application server and one
Cisco IP Telephony directory, the directory configuration information will be the
same for both the directory and the repository.
It is also possible for the application server to receive directory information from
one Cisco IP Telephony Directory and application script from a repository on
another server. In this scenario, the directory and repository would have different
configurations.

For efficient management of resources, each type of configuration is stored as a
profile on the Cisco IP Telephony Directory server. In the event of a system failure
or reallocation of application servers, you can upload a directory profile from the
Cisco IP Telephony Directory to a replacement application server.
Note
Directory profiles can only be used by one application server at a
time.
Repository profiles can be used to centralize the storage of application script.
Unlike directory profiles, repository profiles may be shared by more than one
application server.
To configure Directory information on the application server, perform the
following steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Connect to the Application Administration web server by using the following
URL:
http://servername/AppAdmin
