CUPS 8.0.2, no softphone on CUPC 8 (but have it on cupc 7)

[nboulet]

Hello,

We have a new install with CUPS 8.0.2. As i said, we configured all the system and i can see my desktop phone with CUPC 7 and 8.

But i created a softphone associated with my profile, i could use it on CUPC 7 (call external and internal). But it does'nt appear on CUPC 8.

What is the difference ?

Regards,

Nicolas

This is because CUPC 8.0 uses CSF for the softphone now instead of the UPC device.  You will need to create another phone in CUCM which is of the device type "Client Services Framework"

Please find additional documentation here:

Thank you,

That's normal for the soft phone (UPC device) to show unknown.  It will only show registered when CUPC has switched over to soft phone mode and successfully registered.  To look at why you cannot switch to soft phone in CUPC 7, go to Help > Show Server Health and click on the softphone option to get more details.  You may not have a TFTP listed there to download the configuration of the softphone.

Hi again joemar

in fact i can even get the cnf file for the particular UPC softphone from xp pc and tftp i get command.

any idea?

Can you telnet to the call manager's IP address and port 5060 since the softphone will try and connect directly to call manager on port 5060 since it's a SIP device when in softphone mode?  A packet capture (wireshark) might be the next step after that.
