KEM module disabled by administrator

[srakhaoui@africasp.com]

We have a Cisco Unified IP Phone 8865 with CP-8800-V-KEM . phone is powered by PoE. When the CP-8800-V-KEM is connected to the phone, the phone displays an error "The LKEM has been detected but is disabled by the administrator" and the CP-8800-V-KEM remains switched off. We do not have a Cisco Unified Communications Manager to access the phone. Looks like even the access to phone's web page is disabled. How do we enable the CP-8800-V-KEM on the phone?

Hi,
Are you running CUCM or CME?

For CME:

1. Ned to add the CKEM with "Type 9951 addon 1 CKEM"

2. Need to assign at least one Speedial in KEM. After that, run " create profile" in the voice register global mode.

For CUCM:

Just need to assign a Speedial in KEM.

You need to first configure the KEM Module then only it will power On as described by Leo Salcie Tejeda.

Hello everyone.

You need to ensure of the following:

1. That the phone is running at least firmware version 12 or higher since the phone KEM support was introduced with it for the 88XX series.
2. That you have the latest device pack installed for your CUCM version (especially if you are running an older build number) since the CUCM KEM support was also introduced with it for 88XX models.

The above reasons are the most common ones. If you still have the issue, you can try the suggestions below:

3. That you have selected the KEM on the phone's configuration page in CUCM under "Expansion Module Information" and it is the correct one.
4. That you have ordered the correct KEM for your phone. For 8865 it is V-KEM (some people do a mistake and order A-KEM).
5. That you have sufficient POE to power it up (there are some issues with this when using 3rd party switches and LLDP. Try using CDP and if you're using 3rd party with LLDP try disabling the power negotiation on the phone's configuration page).

I hope this helps.

I had the same problem when this phone was connected via POE. My switch was not able to provide enough power to Phone+KEM, so only phone boot successfully. Purchasing power cable solved problem
