You will need to setup the ephone-dn’s and ephones on R1 in order for the voice service to work.

From the configuration mode, create the ephone-dn’s. The ephone-dncommand is used to create the ephone-dn. number, description and name will be use to specify the phone number of this ephone-dn, set a description to this ephone-dn and a name, respectively.

On R1:

R1(config)# ephone-dn 1 dual-line

R1(config-ephone-dn)# number 5011

R1(config-ephone-dn)#description Fred’s Phone

R1(config-ephone-dn)# name Fred

R1(config)# ephone-dn 2 dual-line

R1(config-ephone-dn)# number 5012

R1(config-ephone-dn)#description Barney's Phone

R1(config-ephone-dn)# name Barney

Once you have the ephone-dn’s created, you can assign them to the e-phones. Use the ephone command and sub-commands to setup the e-phones.

The mac-addresscommand is used to tell the router the mac address of your IP Phone. You can find this information on a stamp under the IP Phone. Copy the mac address of your IP Phones and replace the “x” character on the command line by it. Use the format xxxx.xxxx.xxxx (4 strings separated by dots). Be careful! If the mac address is wrong, registeration on CME will be denied.

Use the type command to specify the model of your IP Phone. In the example bellow we are using the Cisco IP Phone 7960. Fell free to change it according to your IP Phone Model. The button command has the function of assign an ephone-dn to a button on your IP Phone. Different models of IP Phone have different numbers of buttons on its panel. In this example we are assigning the ephone-dn 1 to the 7960 phone (mac address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx) panel’s button 1 and ephone-dn 2 to the 7940 phone (mac address yyyy.yyyy.yyyy) panel’s button 1.

R1(config)# ephone 1

R1(config-ephone)#mac-address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

R1(config-ephone)# type 7960

R1(config-ephone)# button 1:1

R1(config)# ephone 2

R1(config-ephone)#mac-address yyyy.yyyy.yyyy

R1(config-ephone)# type 7940

R1(config-ephone)# button 1:2

On R2:

Again, R2 needs some similar commands and you can change the phone type and MAC addresses to fit your equipment.

Note we are changing the numbers. R2’s IP Phones have 502x dial plan while R1’s IP Phones have 501x dial plan. Issue the following on R2:

R2(config)# ephone-dn 1 dual-line

R2(config-ephone-dn)# number 5021

R2(config-ephone-dn)#description George’s Phone
