[kiranparvati]

Hi All,

Can someone confirm whether Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 8.x supports Forced Authorization Code (FAC) for third-party SIP devices registered as line ?

Appreciate your time,

Thanks,

Yes, FAC and CMC are supported with newer firmware releases.

HTH, please rate all useful posts!

Appreciate it,

Forced Authentication Code and Client Matter Code Support

The  Forced Authentication Code (FAC) and Client Matter Code (CMC) Support  feature extends the FAC and CMC features to more Cisco Unified IP  Phones.

•FAC  controls the types of calls that certain users can place. When placing a  call, a user receives a prompt to enter a valid authorization code  before the call is made.

•CMC  enables a user to specify that a call relates to a specific client  matter. When placing a call, a user can enter a code to indicate the  type of call being placed (for example, to a specific customer).

These enhancements are supported on these Cisco Unified IP Phones (SIP):

•Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961

•Cisco Unified IP Phone 9951

•Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971

HTH,

Chris

Thanks again Chris.

I was also wondering if FAC is supported on third-party SIP devices registered to CUCM. We have our client that registers with CUCM as a generic SIP device.

We are currently using CUCM version 8.0.2.40000-1.

I am not 100% sure, but I would not think so.

Chris is right on this, currently just some Cisco SIP devices support FAC since the feature was always based on SCCP. Currently this is not supported for any 3rd party SIP device.
