1 Introduction
This guide is an introduction on how to setup basic configurations on your Cisco Unified Call Manager
(CUCM) server, in order to establish phone calls between two devices registered to it. For a full list of
definitions and advanced settings, refer to the “Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
Guide” for your particular release. The devices covered in this guide are Cisco IP Communicator 8.6(1)
softphones configured for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). CUCM in this guide is running version
8.6.2.22900-2 on a Virtual Machine (VM) with a Demo License and assumes you already have it
installed, ready to begin with configurations.
On the Cisco Unified CM Administration page, login with the Administrator credentials made during
the installation.
2.2 Check your current Licenses: System/ Licensing/ License Unit Report
On the Adminstration screen, use the Licensing pull-down menu to go to the License Unit Report.
The License Unit Report shows you how many licenses you have. As shown in the following screenshot,
I am running a demo license to allow 150 units to register. The name assigned to my system is
cucmvm06
On the Cisco Unified Serviceability page, go to the Tools pull-down menu, and select Service
Activation.
Click Check All Services and then click Save. It takes a few minutes for all the services to activate.
Click Add New and type any name you want, (i.e., cucmvm06_partition) then click Save.
You now see 1 record found with your partition name (i.e., cucmvm06_ partition)
5. In the Available Partitions field, highlight the partition that you previously created (i.e., cucmvm06_
partition), and click the down-arrow to move it to the Selected Partitions field.
On the Device Pool Configuration page, complete the fields with the following information:
1. Device Pool Name: Give it a name (i.e., cucmvm06_device_pool).
2. Cisco Unified Communications Manager group: default.
3. Calling Search Space for Auto-registration: your newly created search space (I.e.,
cucmvm06_css).
4. Time/ date Group: CMLocal.
5. Region: default.
6. When complete, click Save.
3 Adding Cisco IP Communicator 8.6(1) Soft Client for Windows to CUCM via
SIP
To add Cisco IP Communicator 8.6 1) Soft Client for Windows to CUCM via SIP, complete the following
steps:
NOTE: To provision IP Communicator with SCCP, choose SCCP as the protocol instead of SIP in the
following instructions.
1. Download and install the client from the following link. You need a CCO ID to access it.
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=278468661&softwareid=282074237&releas
e=8.6%281%29&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest&i=rm
2. After the client is installed and running, you see the Network tab/ Preference window. (If not, you
see the program display as the following Cisco IP desk phone. In the top right of the phone, click the
far left menu icon (of the 4) and choose Preferences.
3. Click the Network tab and record the Device Name. This should be SEP followed by the mac
address of your PC adapter. (i.e., SEP000C295B5889)
4. Back on the Cisco Unified CM Administration page, on the toolbar, go to Device >Phone and click
Add New.
5. From the Phone Type drop-down menu, choose Cisco IP Communicator, and then click Next. (You
can choose H.323 client to register an H.323 Endpoint directly to CUCM, not covered in this guide).
6. At Select the device protocol, choose SIP, and then click Next.
8. To add a Directory Number (DN) to the IP Communicator client, in the top left, under Association
Information,
o Click Line [1] - Add a new DN.
9. Now you see the same window but with the Associated Devices field containing your Cisco IP
Communicator Device Name (i.e., SEP000C295B5889).
10. Back on the Cisco IP Communicator Network tab/ Preference window, choose Use these TFTP
servers and enter the IP address of your CUCM in the TFTP Server 1: field (i.e., 10.83.23.117) and
click OK.
After a few minutes, the soft client should reach out to CUCM, configure itself, and display a Cisco IP
Desk Phone with the directory number (you assigned the phone) in the top right of the phone screen. You
should also be able to press the Speaker button to hear an off-hook tone
11. Download and install Cisco IP Communicator on another Windows PC and create another device in
CUCM so that you have two Cisco IP Communicator clients to test and dial between. Remember to
assign the next device with a different DN, i.e., 5551112 Once you have the two clients working, you
can experiment with adding other IP phones, endpoints and SIP trunks to VCS by following the Cisco
