Informacast Paging server - URL Authentication

Network Admin
Level 1
Level 1

 

For configuring CUCM 9.1 for Informacast paging , we have to change under Phone URL Parameters >> URL Authentication >> "URL Pointing to paging server ( paging server IP Address) .  Here we are changing CUCM IP address to  Paging Server IP .  How does it impact on other services, features and functionalities ?

Hi Again :)

When you change the phone URL to informacast instead of the CUCM, it will not impact anything. For informacast users, the informacast server will reply and for the non-informacast/CUCM related queries, it will redirect to the CUCM URL.

Ref: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/unified-communications/paging-server/117059-configure-informacast-00.html#anc8

Change the authentication URL in order to send authentication requests from IP phones to InformaCast and reset phones. All non-InformaCast authentication requests are redirected back to the default CUCM authentication URL.

Thank you Terry Cheema   

 

Now I wonder , How to prepare the network for Multicast Environment. Here in this scenario we have a plane network where all the IP Phones/ Computers/Voice Gateway all are in the same vlan or same subnet of 10.10.10.0 /24 .  Is there any special command and configuration that has to be done on the Switches for basic paging ?

 

Not a problem mate - glad that helped. I just replied in detail to to your other thread on this topic, but in short if everything is in same VLAN multicast traffic should work by default.

Test it and let me know how you go.

I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm also configuring an InformaCast Basic paging server and got stuck on this section. I have another question (please).

The InformaCast instructions say to enter the same URL for both Phone URL Parameters and Secured Phone URL Parameters boxes (http and port 8081). My CUCM installation is currently set to http and port 8081 for the Phone URL Parameters and https and port 8443 for Secured Phone URL Parameters.

I have attached two screenshots - what the InformaCast instructions say to do and what my current CUCM is set to.

Thanks in advance!

Lisa - really glad to know, this helped you!

Regards to your second query please change both the Phone authentication and Secure phone Authentication URL to http informacast URL.
