Office Manager (OM) Information and SW

Office manager Installation Guide

Technical Enablement Labs (TEL) and Videos (VOD)

As SBCS moves forward, it does so with the UC 500 SWP, a given CCA version and the Office Manager (OM) version that work together to deliver new features and functions. This TEL lab area is updated by partner demand on the support community, many times to answer discussion threads that we feel should be answered more completely with lab demonstration. While we try to obsolete older labs to the bottom, there are still some older labs not yet replaced and so you should always consult the CCA OLH and Admin Guide as well as latest Smart Designs (which normally lag behind TELs but become more officially supported docs).

When we Announced CCA 3.0 and Office Manager 1.2, we delivered two Partner Webcasts and the .ppt used are here:

Steve,

This is absolutely awesome. Good job. I'm especially looking forward to the 3rd party integration, as this has been one of the more challenging areas for me personally.

Very kewl

Team effort. Thanks for the recognition. We dont want to replace admin guides, but its nice to have some deployment scenarios to look at sometimes.

Hi,

If you can post a lab on how to install different language and make it work. That would be nice. Last time we try.. CCA was failing to install French.

Hi Steve,

Your technical labs are fantastic. Great job. I have tried in vain to install a different language with CCA without success. Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in CCA.

.tar files have now been added to the list. Slightly disappointed that no one at Cisco could tell me that they were missing!!!!!!

Steven DiStefano — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:57:29 GMT

In the US, we dont use these packs, so I apologize for not noticing, but I did follow up for you and was told they were taken down for a naming reason.

Steve

I would like to download your latest video of the office demo. I seems to be only available via playback.

Thanks

Hi Steve,

where would I find recommended maintenance procedures for the UC500 series? I need to go to a clients site and perform a maintenance on his UC560 to keep it in optimal operating condition. thanks.

I havent been keeping up on this product set since retiring from Cisco last July. I am sure someone from the Cisco team can reply.

Hi lewis,

Within CCA it is a simple process, basically following the lab Steve produced called "SW Upgrade: SWP 8.1.0 with CCA 3.0 TEL
" It's a little dated, some of the options in the upgrade process have changed a little, but the process is most logical.

You will need the lastest UC500 software pack and update of CCA.

I would prefer to interact directly. Can you please send your contact details, which includes phone number to ;
