			<a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.ipexpert.com%2F2010%2F09%2F01%2Fcucme-presence%2F"><br />
				<img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.ipexpert.com%2F2010%2F09%2F01%2Fcucme-presence%2F&amp;style=normal" height="61" width="50" /><br />
			</a>
		</div>
<p>When enabling the presence service in CUCME, you are using the SIP methods of Subscribe and Notify to allow users the ability to see changes in the line state of phones.  The phone acts as a watcher using the subscribe method to get status updates from a directory number assigned to a phone that acts as the presentity.  CUCME will respond to the request and each time there is a status update for that DN or presentity, CUCME will send all watchers a notification message.  CUCME presence can be applied either as a BLF speed-dial assigned to a line button or as BLF call-lists that will support status notifications of a presentity in the directories or call log (missed, placed, received) of the phone.</p>
<p><span id="more-4744"></span></p>
<p>The first step when configuring presence on CUCME is to enable the router the ability to accept incoming presence requests.</p>
<pre>BR2-RTR(config)#sip-ua

BR2-RTR(config-sip-ua)# presence enable</pre>
<p>The next step is to enable the presence service and the ability to globally monitor all directory number that will need to be enabled for “watching” via the call lists and directories of the local phones.</p>
<pre>BR2-RTR(config)#presence

BR2-RTR(config-presence)#presence call-list</pre>
<p>Then configure the directory numbers that will be enabled for watching.</p>
<h2>SCCP Phones</h2>
<pre>BR2-RTR(config)#ephone-dn 1

BR2-RTR(config-ephone-dn)#allow watch</pre>
<h2>SIP Phones</h2>
<pre>BR2-RTR(config)#voice register dn 1

BR2-RTR(config-register-dn)#allow watch

!

BR2-RTR(config)#voice register global

BR2-RTR(config-register-global)#create profile

BR2-RTR(config-register-global)#reset</pre>
<p>At this point, if BLF monitoring of directory numbers that appear in the call lists and the directories has not been enabled globally, then this can be applied at the phone level and reset devices.</p>
<h2>SCCP Phones</h2>
<pre>BR2-RTR(config)#ephone 1

BR2-RTR(config-ephone)#allow watch

!

BR2-RTR(config)#telephony-service

BR2-RTR(config-telephony)#create cnf

Creating CNF files

BR2-RTR(config-telephony)#reset all</pre>
<h2>SIP Phones</h2>
<pre>BR2-RTR(config)#voice register pool 1

BR2-RTR(config-register-pool)#allow watch

!

BR2-RTR(config)#voice register global

BR2-RTR(config-register-global)#create profile

BR2-RTR(config-register-global)#reset</pre>
<p>In the event it was asked to enable BLF monitoring of a directory number and associate this DN with a speed-dial assigned to a line button on the phone then first ensure the DN has “allow watch” assigned and then perform the following.</p>
<h2>SCCP Phones</h2>
<pre>BR2-RTR(config-ephone)#blf-speed-dial 1 3001 label Sales

BR2-RTR(config-ephone)#reset</pre>
<h2>SIP Phones</h2>
<pre>BR2-RTR(config)#voice register pool 1

BR2-RTR(config-register-pool)#blf-speed-dial 1 3001 label Sales

!

BR2-RTR(config)#voice register global

BR2-RTR(config-register-global)#create profile

BR2-RTR(config-register-global)#reset</pre>
<p>By assigning a BLF speed-dial to a phone, it enables that phone to watch all ephone-dns or voice register dns with that same extension number at the same time acting as a speed-dial.  However, with CUCME version 7.0 the lamp will only illuminate red if the monitored dn is in use.  It will not indicate DND status and cannot distinguish which phone is using the extension number if it is shared across multiple phones or assigned to multiple DNs, much like that of the “monitor mode” button “m”.  The main difference to remember with Monitor Mode button is that it is only supported on SCCP devices and will only monitor a single ephone-dn &lt;tag&gt;.  It is not extension number based.  In CUCME 7.0 to achieve status updates if a phone is in DND mode, it can be achieved with the “watch mode” button “w”. This method of presence will watch all activity on the phone in which the ephone-dn  &lt;tag&gt; assigned is the primary extension.  It should be noted here that the ephone-dn used in this method could be shared across phones but not assigned as the primary extension to more than one phone.</p>
<p><strong>To verify presence use the following commands.</strong></p>
<pre>-show presence global

-show presence subscription</pre>
<p><strong>To troubleshoot presence use the following commands.</strong></p>
<pre>-debug presence X

-debug ephone blf &lt;mac-address&gt;

-debug ccsip messages</pre>

<p><strong>China, MI — August 30, 2010 —</strong></p>
<p>Currently less than 50 individuals worldwide hold the CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert) Wireless certification.

<p>In CUCME 4.1 and later versions, it is possible to provide end users the flexibility of creating ad-hoc conferences involving more than 3 parties with each participant potentially using a low bit rate codec such as g729. As you might expect, IOS software is unable to provide this function natively without the aid of Digital Signal Processors (DSP&#8217;s) most likely hosted on the CUCME gateway.</p>
<p><span id="more-4587"></span></p>
<p>The first step when configuring the DSP&#8217;s for conferencing is to enable DSPFarm services on the gateway. By default the DSP&#8217;s can only be utilized for voice termination.</p>
<pre>BR1-RTR(config)#voice-card 0
BR1-RTR(config-voicecard)#dsp service dspfarm</pre>
<p>The DSP resources can only be controlled by the Call Control Agent (UCME in this case) using Skinny (aka SCCP). Skinny needs to be enabled on the gateway and a Call Control Agent(s) defined. In the example below the gateway will source SCCP packets from the primary IP Address assigned to interface FastEthernet0/0.11. The CUCUM IP Address is then provided to the gateway- incidentally the default version of SCCP used is 4.x so it is important the version is specified especially when trying to register an IOS MTP device to UCM since this is an invalid media resource in SCCP version 4.x.</p>
<pre>BR1-RTR(config)#sccp local FastEthernet0/0.11
BR1-RTR(config)#sccp ccm 10.10.201.1 identifier 1 version 7.0
BR1-RTR(config)#sccp</pre>
<p>A UCM group containing a list of Call Control Agents needs to be specified to support redundancy. In a stand alone UCME environment only a single Call Control Agent might be provisioned but in a UCM environment the Subscriber UCM, Publisher UCM and backup SRST CME gateway are the priority 1, 2 and 3 Call Control Agents respectively.</p>
<pre>BR1-RTR(config)#sccp ccm group 1
BR1-RTR(config-sccp-ccm)# associate ccm 1 priority 1</pre>
<p>The profile defining the characteristics of the conference bridge will be the next bit of configuration required. The codecs are defined and the maximum sessions specified. The DSPFarm will also need to be associated to the SCCP protocol at this stage (no other options at the time of writing).</p>
<pre>BR1-RTR(config)#dspfarm profile 1 conference
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# codec g711ulaw
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# codec g711alaw
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# codec g729ar8
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# codec g729abr8
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# codec g729r8
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# codec g729br8
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# maximum sessions 2
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# associate application SCCP
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# no shutdown</pre>
<p>Each conference session supports up to 8 parties in the same conference call and consumes half a DSP (PVDM2-8). A single DSP (PVDM2-16) supporting conferencing cannot be used for any other media resource- therefore it makes sense to have an even number of conference sessions.</p>
<p>The DSPFarm profile will need to be associated with a SCCP Group- a unique name is given to the conference bridge and this name will serve as the SCCP unique identifier when registering to the UCME.</p>
<pre>BR1-RTR(config)#sccp ccm group 1
BR1-RTR(config-sccp-ccm)# associate profile 1 register cvg-cfb</pre>
<p>Within the telephony-service CLI the conference bridge needs to be added as a known media resource and the maximum number of DSP Units specified. The UCME will cease to use software conferencing as a result of specifying the &#8220;conference hardware&#8221; command.</p>
<pre>BR1-RTR(config)#telephony-service
BR1-RTR(config-telephony)# conference hardware
BR1-RTR(config-telephony)# sdspfarm units 1
BR1-RTR(config-telephony)# sdspfarm tag 1 br1cfb</pre>
<p>Registration of the conference bridge to the UCME can be verified using the &#8220;<strong>show sdspfarm units</strong>&#8221; command.</p>
<p>Placeholder ephone-dn&#8217;s need to be added to support the number of active Ad-Hoc conference participants required. These DN&#8217;s do not need to be dialable numbers (unlike the case of Meet-me conferences). In this example 4 conference participants will be allowed due to there only being 4 available channels associated with ad-hoc conferencing. The ephone-dn&#8217;s are providing the lines to anchor the call whereas the DSP resource is used for the transcoding and audio mixing required for conferencing.  Conversely, if there were no restrictions placed on the number of available channels, an octo-line could be used to support 8 conference participants.</p>
<pre>ephone-dn  5  dual-line
 number A1000
 conference ad-hoc
 preference 2
 no huntstop
!
ephone-dn  6  dual-line
 number A1000
 conference ad-hoc
 preference 1
 no huntstop
!</pre>
<p>Tones can be provided to conference participants as and when a person joins or leaves a conference call. The frequency and cadence (including the tone-on and tone-off durations) are defined within the &#8220;voice class custom-cptone&#8221; CLI.</p>
<pre>BR1-RTR(config)#voice class custom-cptone CONF-LEAVE
BR1-RTR(cfg-cptone)# dualtone conference
BR1-RTR(cfg-cp-dualtone)#  frequency 400 800
BR1-RTR(cfg-cp-dualtone)#  cadence 100 50 200 50 300 50 400 50
BR1-RTR(cfg-cp-dualtone)#!
BR1-RTR(cfg-cp-dualtone)#voice class custom-cptone CONF-JOIN
BR1-RTR(cfg-cptone)# dualtone conference
BR1-RTR(cfg-cp-dualtone)#  frequency 1000 2000
BR1-RTR(cfg-cp-dualtone)#  cadence 100 50 200 50 300 50 400 50</pre>
<p>The custom tones are then assigned to the DSPFarm profile.</p>
<pre>BR1-RTR(config)#dspfarm profile 1 conference
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)#shut

Disabling profile will disconnect active CONFERENCING calls,
do you want to continue ? [yes/no] yes

BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# conference-join custom-cptone CONF-JOIN
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)# conference-leave custom-cptone CONF-LEAVE
BR1-RTR(config-dspfarm-profile)#no shut</pre>
<p>To verify an active conference call is using DSP resources on a particular gateway use the &#8220;<strong>show sccp connections</strong>&#8221; command. To solve any unusual problems start of by bouncing the SCCP application from within the IOS (no sccp/sccp).</p>

<p>I remember a time when I taught a class called CIT (Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting) and there was a wonderful rule that made all the students sweat a little more and all the instructors give that old Dr.Claw laugh (From Inspector Gadget if you have no idea what I&#8217;m talking about).  Essentially it allowed the Instructor to do things that were really mean and evil and forced the students NOT to take the easy way out.  What was that rule?  When troubleshooting you may NOT use the command Show Running-Config or any variant of it. <span id="more-2813"></span></p>
<p>Some of you are thinking&#8230;.wow- I would be lost.  To be honest I would be as well depending on the technology and the situation I&#8217;m in.  So I won&#8217;t burden you with that rule.  However, I would like to share a command that does&#8217;t just give you the running configuration on the ASA, rather it gives you the &#8220;real&#8221; running configuration.  What am I talking about?  Well, simply put- show run all&#8230;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right!  While many of you know this deep dark secret (it&#8217;s not really a secret)  other don&#8217;t.  So there ya go!  A little tipt to put in your tip jar.</p>
<p>So the next time the boss says, &#8220;Man I cant remember the syntax of the default group policy on our ASA,&#8221; you can quickly respond with&#8230;</p>
<p><em>(type..type..type&#8230;)</em></p>
<pre>ciscoasa# <strong>sh run all group-policy</strong></pre>
<pre>group-policy DfltGrpPolicy internal</pre>
<pre>group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes</pre>
<pre>banner none</pre>
<pre>wins-server none</pre>

<pre>vpn-tunnel-protocol IPSec l2tp-ipsec webvpn</pre>
<pre>password-storage disable</pre>
<pre>ip-comp disable</pre>
<pre>re-xauth disable</pre>
<pre>group-lock none</pre>

<pre>split-dns none</pre>
<pre>intercept-dhcp 255.255.255.255 disable</pre>
<pre>&lt;--- More ---&gt;</pre>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s DfltGrpPolicy boss.  Anything else you need before I head to lunch?&#8221;</p>
<p>-Regards</p>

<p>When dealing with call routing in general, it is no secret that there are countless ways to manipulate dialed digits to invoke a requested behavior.  Anyone who has began studying to achieve the Cisco CCIE Voice certification has become quite aware of the plethora of methods to utilize when completing the Call Routing sections of the lab blueprint.  It is quite possible when you sit the CCIE Voice lab to be asked to do some sort of Call Blocking as well, whether that is in the form of blocking calls to or from certain numbers, number type or even blocking calls based on date or time of day.    In this blog, we will focus on after-hours call blocking as it pertains to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CUCME) or CME-as-SRST.  <span id="more-4542"></span>When implemented, calls matching against a pattern of specified digits will be prevented from proceeding based on day of the week and/or time of day.</p>
<p>CUCME call-blocking configuration applies to all SCCP, H.323, SIP and POTS calls that go through the CUCME router. All incoming calls to the router, except calls from an exempt phone, are also checked against the after-hours configuration.  Lets take a quick glance at a sample configuration to see how this is applied.</p>

<p>In this example, calls made beginning with pattern 9011, 1212 or 1617 are blocked during the above schedule.  In this schedule, each day of the week has a defined time for blocking calls to the listed patterns.  There are a couple of things to take into consideration when setting up the time of day in this fashion.  Let’s use Monday as an example.  Based on above, calls are blocked on from 7pm Monday evening until 7am exactly Tuesday morning.   Anytime the first timestamp listed is of a higher number than the second timestamp listed, we know that the second timestamp indicates the time of the following day.  In addition, if we had used “07:00” instead of “06:59” here, then calls would have been blocked until 7:01am on Tuesday morning.  If we made this error on the day it counts, those points would be lost for us.  The above example also shows these types of calls cannot be made at anytime on December 25.  It further shows that calls matching pattern 1617 will be blocked all hours of all days.</p>
<p>When dealing with blocked calls, it is important to remember the configuration applies globally to all dial peers.  However, it may be requested to allow certain phones to be exempt when placing these types of calls.  There are a few methods that can be used to achieve this, such as at the individual directory number, phone-level or dial-peer.  It can also be set up so Individual phone users can override call blocking utilizing a PIN that has been assigned, however this method does not work on patterns that are blocking 24 by 7 such as pattern 3 in our example above.</p>

<h2>Call Blocking Exemption for a Directory Number or Individual Phone</h2>
<p>This method exempts all directory numbers associated with a phone from the after-hours call blocking configuration.</p>

<h2>Call Blocking Exemption for a Dial Peer</h2>
<p>This method allows H.323 and SIP trunk calls to proceed in spite of the after-hours configuration.  This is critical to remember as you could be doing TEHO routing of some fashion that would be prevented from occurring if you did not exempt the incoming voip dial peer from being blocked.</p>
