About Cisco IP Phone usage without Call Manager

[patrick.zhang]

I have two Cisco 7960 IP Phone and some Cisco switches and Routers,but I have no Cisco Call Manager software.

Can I do some IP Telephony Lab test without Call Manager?

If yes,how?

Thank you!

[david.lawrence]

You have a couple of options:

1) Use ITS 2.1 - Cisco IOS Telephony Service.

Supported Routers :Cisco 1751, Cisco 1760, Cisco 2600-XM, Cisco 2650, Cisco 2650-XM, Cisco 2651, Cisco 2691, Cisco 3640, Cisco 3640A, Cisco 3660, Cisco 3725, Cisco 3745.

Supported Phones:Cisco IP Phone 7910, Cisco IP Phone Expansion Module 7914, Cisco IP Conference Station 7935, Cisco IP Phone 7940, Cisco IP Phone 7960, Cisco ATA-186, Cisco ATA-188.

This with not give you all the features of CCM. See link for more info:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1839/products_feature_guide_book09186a0080153d1f.html

2) Get the book Developing Cisco IP Phone Services from Cisco Press.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1587050609/026-4415890-2862849

The enclosed CD contians CMSIM - Call manager Simulator. Again you will lose some functionality but might help for a lab enviroment.

Yes, You can.

Look for IOS Telephony Service (ITS) at Cisco site. Configure this feature at Cisco Router.

You may need to change Software at Your Router, and You need also to buy Feature License to use ITS legal.

I'm setting up a ITS router-Cisco3640.When I set up ITS GUI,input "ephone 2" command,error message"ephone tag 2 exceeds max-ephones 0 ",what it mean?

[kshalavin]

Try to add command "max-ephones " command under telephony-service configuration menu.

Look below for my lab config:

=====================================

telephony-service

load 7910 P00403020204

load 7960-7940 P00303020204

ip source-address 20.206.1.4 port 2000

Good Luck.

Dear support,

Thanks for your help!

I have connectted the ITS Router(Cisco3640) and one Cisco7960 to a Cat3524 switch,follows is configuration of the ITS router.When I powered on the Cisco7960,it always be in "config ip address" or "open 10.130.0.106" status,10.130.0.106 is the ip address of ITS router.I don't know wh

Hi,

Maybe you are missing the command

tftp-server flash:SEPDEFAULT.cnf

according to the example at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/tech/tk652/tk701/technologies_configuration_example09186a00800ffdcc.shtml

regards,

Yanna

[patrick.zhang]

Thank you!

But Wher can I get the SEPDEFAULT.cnf file?

I didn't find it in the ITS2.1.0.2 ZIPfile.

[kshalavin]

The answer is below:

==========================

When Cisco IOS Telephony Service is configured, the Cisco IP phones receive initial configuration information and phone firmware from the TFTP server. In most cases, the Cisco IP phones obtain the IP address of their TFTP server with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) option 150 command. For Cisco IOS Telephony Service operation, the TFTP server address obtained by the Cisco IP phones should point at the Cisco IOS Telephony Service router IP address. The Cisco IP phones attempt to transfer a configuration file called SEPDEFAULT.cnf. This file is automatically generated by the Cisco IOS Telephony Service router through the ip source-address command and placed in the router's Flash memory. The SEPDEFAULT.cnf file contains the IP address that the phones use to register for service, using the Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP). This IP address should correspond to a valid Cisco IOS Telephony Service router IP address (and may be the same as the router TFTP server address). Access to the SEPDEFAULT.cnf file must be granted through the tftp-server command on the router.

==========================

[kshalavin]

Patrick,

check flash files at your router. It should look like this (if You have only one IP phone You need only one P00???.bin file, and in Your case you may not need eagle2.ULAW.wav file):

===============

ITS#sh fla

System flash directory:

File Length Name/status

1 14097360 c2600-is-mz.122-11.T.bin

2 55 SEPDEFAULT.cnf

3 250 XMLDefault.cnf.xml

4 405626 P00303020204.bin

5 367838 P00403020204.bin

6 18717 eagle2.ULAW.wav

[14890240 bytes used, 1362688 available, 16252928 total]

16384K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)

===============================

Don't forget to put phones Load images, and configuration files.

A good idea to download from Cisco site ITS file with all required files at put needed files to flash memory.

Next one, I haven't seen in Your config command like:

==============

tftp-server flash:SEPDEFAULT.cnf

tftp-server flash:XMLDefault.cnf.xml

==============

Last, You have only entered "ephone 1" and there is no "ephone-dn" command

In Your case it should be look like:

===================================

ephone 1

username "unison" password unison

mac-address

button 1:1

ephone-dn 1

number 1234

name unison

hold-alert 15 originator

============================

Try to do it.

Good Luck.

[patrick.zhang]

Thank you!

But.......

I have add the configuration you asked,and the 7960 still in "configuring IP".

I have checked the "Network" in the 7960,I'm sure it got the ip address from DHCP(ITS router),and it's firmware has downloaded.May be the config file it can't download from DHCP server.

I have inputed the command "IP source-address port 2000",but no SEPDefault.cnf file created.

No dial tone in the "ear" of 7960.

Current configuration : 1515 bytes

I've made now a test - I deleted file SEPDefault.cnf from flash, squeeze flash.

After that I go to telephony-service configuration menu and do next:

1. no IP source-address port 2000

2. reset all

3. IP source-address port 2000

After that I got again file SEPDefault at flash memory.

[patrick.zhang]

No,I can't get this file.

show flash

Delete----reset all----Add,

sh flash

Nothing changed.

Patrick.

Look below an information about requirements for ITS versions 2.1 and 2.0, and check what You have http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ip-iostsp

It could be a problem with IOS and ITS version mismatch.

Regards.
