Cisco CME: Monitoring FXO Ports on 7965 SCCP phone

[Heinz Schwarzfeuer]

Hi,

I have a CME 10.5 installation on a Cisco 2921 with a 4-Port FXO and 3 analog lines connected to the PSTN/POTS.

Each of these lines are directed to a DN via PLAR (3 lines = 3 DNs)

The DNs are assigned to the buttons of one 7965 phone, which is handled by the receptionist.

If any of the FXO lines are in use, a red light should indicate this on the corresponding button.

How could this be achieved?

Current configuration (to make it easier to overview i just show one voice port):

voice-port 0/0/0
trunk-group FXO_ALL
connection plar opx 5001
caller-id enable

ephone-dn 1 dual-line
number 5001
label Line1

ephone 1
no phone-ui speeddial-fastdial
no phone-ui snr
no multicast-moh
mac-address nnnn.nnnn.nnnn
type 7965
button 1:1 2:2 3:3 4:4

Many thanks for some ideas!

Heinz

Hi Nadeem,

thanks for your answer. I already tried the mentioned solution (binding a analog line directly to the DN respectively button on the phone):

voice-port 0/0/0
trunk-group FXO_ALL
connection plar opx 5001
caller-id enable

dial-peer voice 1000 pots
destination-pattern 1000
port 0/0/0

ephone-dn 1 dual-line
number 5001
label Line1
trunk 1000 monitor-port 0/0/0

ephone 1
mac-address nnnn.nnnn.nnnn
type 7965
button 1:1

In general it is doing what i was looking for, but the major disadvantage is that you can´t CFWDALL these kind of DNs anymore.

Is there another way?

Many thanks

Heinz
