3Com 78-11069-01 manual Adding the DPA 7630 to Cisco CallManager, Using Auto-Registration

Chapter 3 Preparing the Cisco CallManager and Octel Systems

Configuring Cisco CallManager

•Proper signaling to the message waiting indicators (MWI) on the Cisco IP Phones.

Some ports on the DPA 7630 handle MWI commands from the Octel system.

An additional “virtual” IP phone sends these messages to the

Cisco CallManager system. Cisco CallManager then sets the MWI on the

Cisco IP Phones.

When reviewing the following tasks, if you need additional instructions, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide or the online help in the

Cisco CallManager application:

•Adding the DPA 7630 to Cisco CallManager, page 3-3

•Configuring the DPA Ports and Phones, page 3-5

•Enabling the Message Waiting Light, page 3-10

•Setting Up the Voice Mail Hunt Group, page 3-11

Adding the DPA 7630 to Cisco CallManager

When the DPA 7630 and Cisco CallManager connect, the ports on the DPA 7630 appear as IP phones in the Cisco CallManager database. An additional “virtual” port also appears as an IP phone to Cisco CallManager, but it does not have any correspondence to a physical port. It is created by the DPA 7630 to handle MWI commands to Cisco CallManager.

Using Auto-Registration

You can choose to have the DPA 7630 automatically added to Cisco CallManager using auto-registration. If you want to use auto-registration, you must verify that it is enabled in Cisco CallManager. Refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide or online help in the Cisco CallManager application for details.

Through auto-registration, when the DPA 7630 connects to Cisco CallManager, the ports connected between the DPA 7630 and the Octel system are registered as Cisco IP Phones in the database. These ports are actually emulated IP phones that are used to access the voice mail system and to send MWI commands from Octel.
