42Chapter 4 IPCMs

In order for the IPCM to manage i2004 Internet Telephones, information pertaining to the IPCM in general, the i2004 telephones, and users that will use i2004s, must be provisioned. For more information, see the SIP IP Client Manager Basics documentation.

i2004 Internet Telephone information can be provisioned in the following ways:

•Provision each individual i2004 using the SIP Provisioning Client.

•Set up default device properties for a domain, assign an activation key to the domain, and then use the IPCM to auto-provision each i2004 device whenever a user enters the desired activation key. (See the SIP IP Client Manager Basics documentation and the i2004 Internet Telephone User Guide for more information.)

Note: Normally, the IPCM is deployed prior to provisioning the IPCM. If this is the case, it is still necessary to assign domains to the IPCM cluster and to assign a provisioned capacity for the IPCM cluster and domain. If the IPCM has been deployed, see “Assigning and modifying IPCMs to a domain.” If the IPCM has not been deployed, and it is desired to pre-provision the IPCM, see “Adding an IPCM cluster.”

Adding an IPCM cluster

Adding an IPCM cluster creates a virtual IPCM to which users, i2004 devices, and domains may be assigned. It does not actually create a physical IPCM, nor does it deploy IPCM software onto a server. The association of the physical IPCM to this IPCM cluster is performed when the physical IPCM is deployed and configured.

To add an IPCM cluster

1Click the IPCM Cluster > Add IPCM Cluster menu option. The Create new IPCM window displays. The following figure (Figure 23) shows an example of creating an IPCM named LAB IPCM. The maximum provisioned capacity is 1000, i2004 Internet Telephones. Note that the IPCM name is case sensitive.
