IP Communicator Config from Desktop

[Vinay K M]

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to know is there a way where i can configure a config file on desktop so that IP communicator gets registered to a device pool automatically

We have 4 group agents and requirement is to setup a auto registration with separte device pool for each

I guess this is possible in avaya to acquire the desired extension using config file

Best Regards

AH

I don't believe there is such an file but, you could find the settings in the registry, then create a script to modify those settings per login. Run it at login time, prior to CIPC launching and theoretically, it should work.

Auto Registration is not intended to work as you appear to be asking for here. All it will do is allow a phone not currently in the database to get added and a directory number assigned. This is usually only used in combination with TAPS for deployment purposes. TAPS would then convert that auto-reg device into the pre-imported template that has the real configuration (e.g. device pool, DNs, CSS, Location, etc) you desire for that phone. Beyond initial deployment auto registration is a security risk in my opinion.

There are no PC-side settings (registry or otherwise) that will let you control device pool membership or any other setting you see within UCM Administration for that matter. You can add the devices manually or use auto registration; however, you will need to change the Device Pool or other settings from within the administration UI (or BAT).

Hi,

do you know if there is at least a config file on the PC where i can modify the TFTP server ip address ?? so the user does not have to configure it manually going to preference, etc. The Communicator is already created on the CUCM.

Thanks

Hi

CIPC can get the TFTP address from Option 150 the same as the phones do - just add option 150 to the data VLAN DHCP scopes as well as the voice... or it make it a global server option, that way you don't have the think about it again!

Alternatively, you can either:

1) Push out a registry setting using whatever you manage desktop software with (i.e. MS SCCM, Altiris, the office junior)... set HKLM/Software/Cisco Systems, Inc./Communicator/TftpServer1 to the address. This is encoded so the easiest way would be to copy this setting from a configured/working PC.

2) Better still, when deploying the software, use the MSI and specify the switch to set the TFTP server:

msiexec /i CiscoIPCommunicatorSetup.msi /qb TFTP1="IP Address 1"
