Cisco Unified Call Manager Express support for 8800 side car

[jerecassidy]

Hello,

The CUCME data sheet does not show support for the following item:

Cisco IP Phone 8800 Key Expansion Module

CP-BEKEM=

Also the item's data sheet itself mentions CUCM and SRST, but does not mention CUCME specifically.

Can someone confirm that it is not supported?

It seems the only option for a reception phone with the current models would be the 7861 with 16 buttons built-in (no side car).

Also an option would be to go back to a 7945 or 7965 with the 7915/7916 side cars.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, 

It is definitely supported but looks like it is not updated in the documentation yet, a sample config to make it work would be the following

voice register pool-type 8851

xml-config maxNumCalls x

xml-config busyTrigger x

phoneload-support

num-lines x

addons 1 description Cisco SIP Phone 8851

reference-pooltype xxxx

voice register pool x

type 8851 addon 1 CKEM

HTH
