No it won't. CUCM has no knowledge of a phone serial number.
There are some 3rd party apps that do allow you to do this (UnifiedFX from memory is one). I also have a perl script that will do this for you. It's ugly but it works (at least it did last time I tested it).
The perl script looks like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$argument1 = $ARGV[0];
use LWP::Simple;
$website_content = get($argument1);
open LOGFILE, ">log.file";
print LOGFILE $website_content;
close LOGFILE;
This connects to the web server on the phone, captures the home page, and writes to a file called "log.file". The IP address of the phone is passed to the script. The home page served by the phone contains the serial number.
I then have a wrapper which calls the perl script, which I have written in a language called REXX - simply because my Perl is appalling.
/* */
perl_exe="c:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe"
perl_file="c:\strawberry\perl\bin\web.pl"
file_name="c:\strawberry\perl\bin\log.file"
do i = 12 to 41
target="10.150.108."||i
ping target "-w 1000 -n 3 > DUMMY"
if rc=0 then do
webtarget="http://"||target
perl_exe perl_file webtarget
do while lines(file_name) > 0
s=""
junk = linein(file_name)
s=s||junk
end
parse var junk . "Serial Number" rest
parse var rest . "" Serial_Number "" rest
say Serial_Number
rc = stream(file_name, "c", "close")
end
else do
end
end
fs
So the attached scans IP Addresses 10.150.108.12 -> 41. It pings them first, and if they respond calls the Perl stub to capture the web page. The REXX wrapper then goes through the file, and looks for the starting "Serial Number" and extracts it.
As I say, ugly, but it works.
