Is there a way other than using RisPort Soap Services To retrive phone ip adress?

[Parisa Tashakori]

Hi,

I have a few questions about resolving ip phone's hostname to ip address.

- Is there any possible way other than polling device info from call manager (with RisPort Soap service) to retrieve phone's ip address?

- Can we get this information directly from phone?

- Is it possible to program ip phone so that it registers or subscribes itself to a CTI application and inform the app from its status and IP address changes?

Thanks for sharing you experience in advance,

Parisa

The easiest method is going to be via SNMP through CallManager.  This is how CER gets phone IP addresses.  Just create a Read-only SNMPv2 Community string in CUCM.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your reply. Can you please explain a little bit or share some links in this regard?

Parisa,

Take a look at the ccmPhoneEntry object.

It has an entry for ccmPhoneInetAddressIPv4 that you can use.

You just need to create a tool to pull these OIDs from CallManager to get the device information.
