New and Changed Information
•Simpler configuration—Previous versions of Cisco CallManager required all Cisco CallManagers in separate clusters to be configured in the Cisco MCM as a source address/destination address (SA/DA) pair. Registration by cluster pairs meant that for a ten-site system, 90 (9 x 10) separate entries would be required in the Cisco MCM configuration. Also, because the SA/DA name required a hexadecimal address, configuration at the Cisco MCM and in the Cisco CallManager database was error prone. Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(5a) allows individual gatekeeper-controlled Cisco CallManagers to be configured at the Cisco MCM and allows a Cisco CallManager host name or dotted decimal IP address to be used instead of a hexadecimal address.
•More efficient Cisco CallManager to H.323 Gatekeeper registration—Cisco CallManager can register to the Cisco MCM using full RRQ upon Cisco CallManager initialization. Subsequent RRQs are periodically sent to the gatekeeper as a keep-alive function. In
Cisco CallManager Release 3.0(5a) the lightweight RRQ format of H.225 RAS specification is used to reduce periodic-processing burden on the Cisco MCM CPU.
•Admission Request (ARQ) enhancements—When an intercluster call is initiated, the gatekeeper-controlled Cisco CallManager in a cluster issues the E.164 address of the destination in its ARQ to the MCM. Also, the gatekeeper-controlled Cisco CallManager in the source cluster accepts the IP address of the destination device in the resulting Admission Confirm (ACF) message.
•Gatekeeper-controlled Cisco CallManagers, during the initial RRQ, send a full E.164 address range Cisco MCM—Cisco MCM will accept the registration now that it is aware of the full E.164 address range of the cluster associated with that gatekeeper-controlled Cisco CallManager. Future enhancements to the Cisco MCM software will include the ability for Cisco MCM to automatically add the address ranges to the Cisco MCM dial plan.
Cisco IP Phone Services on Cisco Pixel-Based Display Phones
Cisco IP Phone 7940 and Cisco IP Phone 7960 have an HTTP client with an XML parser. When a user presses the Services fixed-function button, the HTTP client will attach to a preconfigured (by the administrator) URL. This URL will display a menu of available HTML/XML services for the user. These services are normally located on an HTTP server separate from the Cisco CallManager or
