InformaCast basic paging - SIP configuration

[lisacoody]

I'm setting up an InformaCast basic paging server to work with our Call Manager cluster (CUCM version 10.5.1 / InformaCast version 9.1.1).

I'm up to the part where I need to install a SIP trunk and have a question - setting up this SIP trunk won't impact normal voice calls will it? Is it only for communication between CUCM and the paging server? The documentation I'm following says that CTI route points were used in the past, but now SIP is the preferred method http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/cisco_paging_server/9_1_1/InformaCastBasicPaging_InstallAndUserGd_911.pdf

I apologize if this is a stupid question - I'd rather ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake...

Thanks in advance!

That won't affect any calls

Thanks, Jaime. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question. Your answers are always so helpful.

Is the SIP trunk only used for communication between the paging server and Call Manager?

Not sure what you're asking, SIP trunks are used for plenty of integrations to other products.

This particular SIP trunk (not SIP trunks in general). I am asking if it is for communication between CUCM and InformaCast.

Just trying to learn more about it's purpose and how it works.

Thanks.
