CME Basic Setup

Call Manager express runs on a router. Its feasible for Small Businesses which have under 200 users.

Lets setup Cisco 7965 SCCP phones first.

Step 1:

Create a DHCP pool for IP phones:

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.202.1 10.10.202.49
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.202.70 10.10.202.254
!
ip dhcp pool CME
network 10.10.202.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.10.202.1    <<< Voice VLAN
option 150 ip 10.10.110.3     <<< Loopback

The firmware files should be there on the router flash for the phones to bootup. If the phone has already been booted up on a CME system then you may skip this step.

# sh flash |  i .txt

cme-7-0-full-readme-readme file.txt

# more cme-7-0-full-readme-readme file.txt

SCCP45.8-3-3S.loads*
term45.default.loads
term65.default.loads
apps45.8-3-2-27.sbn
cnu45.8-3-2-27.sbn
cvm45sccp.8-3-2-27.sbn
dsp45.8-3-2-27.sbn
jar45sccp.8-3-2-27.sbn

All the firmware file information is within the readme text file. You can also find out firmware information for particular phone from Cisco website:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/requirements/guide/cme701spc.htm

Step 2:

Load the firmware files at TFTP.

tftp-server flash:PHONE/7945-7965/apps45.8-3-2-27.sbn alias apps45.8-3-2-27.sbn
tftp-server flash:PHONE/7945-7965/cnu45.8-3-2-27.sbn alias cnu45.8-3-2-27.sbn
tftp-server flash:PHONE/7945-7965/cvm45sccp.8-3-2-27.sbn alias cvm45sccp.8-3-2-27.sbn
tftp-server flash:PHONE/7945-7965/dsp45.8-3-2-27.sbn alias dsp45.8-3-2-27.sbn
tftp-server flash:PHONE/7945-7965/jar45sccp.8-3-2-27.sbn alias jar45sccp.8-3-2-27.sbn
tftp-server flash:PHONE/7945-7965/SCCP45.8-3-3S.loads alias SCCP45.8-3-3S.loads
tftp-server flash:PHONE/7945-7965/term45.default.loads alias term45.default.loads
tftp-server flash:PHONE/7945-7965/term65.default.loads alias term65.default.loads

Note: If you are copying from readme file then do change the small letter ‘phone’ to ‘PHONE’.

Step 3:

telephony-service
no auto-reg-ephone
max-ephones 2
max-dn 2
load 7965 SCCP45.8-3-3S
ip source-address 10.10.110.3 port 2000
create cnf-files

Step 4:

ephone-dn 1 octo-line
number 4001
description 20784001

ephone-dn 2 octo-line
number 4002
description 20784002

Step 5:

ephone 1
description 7965 PHONE 4001
mac-address 0010.968C.A2B6
type 7965
button 1:1
!
ephone 2
description 7965 PHONE 1002
mac-address 00C7.CF34.B173
type 7965
button 1:2

CME GUI:

no ip http secure-server
ip http path flash:/GUI

Now to setup 7965 SIP phones we will follow the following procedure:

Step 1:

The SIP firmware files for SIP 7965 phone:

SIP41.8-3-3S.loads*
term61.default.loads
apps41.8-3-2-27.sbn
cnu41.8-3-2-27.sbn
cvm41sip.8-3-2-27.sbn
dsp41.8-3-2-27.sbn
jar41sip.8-3-2-27.sbn

Step 2:

Follow the same procedure as described above for SCCP phones with SIP file names as above.

Step 3:

voice register global
mode cme
source-address 10.10.202.1 port 5060
max-dn 2
max-pool 2
load 7965 SIP41.8-3-3S
authenticate register
tftp-path flash:
create profile

Note: Create profile is very important for SIP phones. You will have to run this command everytime you make changes to SIP phones.

Step 4:

voice register dn 1
number 4001
!
voice register dn 2
number 4002

Step 5:

voice register pool 1
id mac 0010.968C.A2B6
type 7965
dtmf-relay sip-notify
username SB1 password cisco
description 20784001
number 1 dn 1
!
voice register pool 2
id mac 00C7.CF34.B173
type 7965
dtmf-relay sip-notify
username SB2 password cisco
description 20784002
number 1 dn 2
