Cisco VS 3com in voice solution

what is the main difference between 3com and Cisco in ip telephony solution?

Tell us more about your network, goals, and requirements. How many phones? How many sites? How many voice mail boxes will you need? Do you have a separate voice mail system already that you'd like to keep?
What sort of connections to your voice provider do you require, e.g. PRI, analog trunks, etc.? Do you need to connect to PBXs from other vendors?
What Cisco solution was suggested, CallManager or CallManager Express?
We need more information in order to make an informed recommendation.

  • Voice solution for 2 directly connected LANs

    hi,
    we have 2 offices connected using microwave link p2p(using cisco routers at both ends).And we are about to deploy voice solution that will enable staff at both offices to make calls between the 2 offices using softphone technology. i need someone who have deployed this kind of solution before or have an idea of what it takes to help me with the tips of how to go about it.i wouldnt mind if diagram is attached.

    You can download CME 4.0 by downloading the right IOS image. (I am not sure of licensing, if you do this).
    The IOS version for CME 4.0 that I have seen is 12.4(9)T, although later versions may have for example CME 4.01 (??)
    For configuring CIPC,
    ephone 10
    description CIPC softphone
    mac-address 0000.0000.7A6A
    type CIPC

  • Hosted Voice Solution

    Hi Guys,
    Any one of you have worked on hosted voice solution? Can you please let me know what kind of hosted solution is available and it positive and negetive aspect?

    Cisco's formal HCS offering, supplied by approved partners*, is the only official one these days. There used to be partners offering other options where multiple customers would co-exist on one CUCM cluster but the CSS/partitions would keep them separated. To my knowledge, these are all deprecated since the HCS announcement. Of course, there are non-Cisco offerings out there too.
    The HCS offering is actually pretty decent, mostly because it's the same CUCM/CUC/IM&P/etc. products that customers can install on-premise. There are essentially two differences:
    The required infrastructure to setup an HCS pod is prohibitively expensive for anyone except the big players. It's mostly carrier-grade equipment that an end customer would never buy.
    The products are abstracted behind a provisioning/billing application (telecom parlance calls this Operations Support System or OSS). Last I checked this was Voss product that Cisco was OEMing. This is the only difference that really matters to you because it sets up the dial plan and such with some assumptions that you wouldn't otherwise be confined to if programming CUCM directly.
    Editorial comment: Whether this is good or bad depends on the customer. CUCM is very flexible because it has such a huge install base across so many market sizes/verticals. It can be shaped to fit most custom requirements; however, the OSS toolset takes a far more cookie-cutter approach.
    Other than the OSS toolset, it's essentially a normal Cisco UC deployment: they simply connect the VRF instance for you as a tenant in HCS into your WAN. After that it's effectively a Centralized Call Processing model. Normal voice gateway/SRST options at the offices and IP phones or Jabber for users.
    *Full disclosure: my employer is one of those partners.

  • Voice solution between 2 directly connected LAN

    thanks

    If they are on the same LAN, registered to the same CCM, the only thing you need to do is to configure the Cisco routers correctly for voice. RSVP works well now (not in the past) Setup some voice prirotization and you should be set. Usually the microwave boxes have low ms roundtrip times, do you should be ok for voice quality.

  • Cisco ISE 1.2.1 solution BYOD

    Hi there. 
    I wanna setup Cisco ISE 1.2.1 solution for my wireless users.The solution will have 2 SSID.
    SSID: Guest 
    This will be used with guest portal and self registration portal for guests. dedicated VLAN or dAcl will be applied
    SSID:Employee 
    This will be used for all corporate devices with corporate machine certificates (EAP-TLS) corporate dAcl will be applied (permit ip any any)
    This will also be used for BYOD devices. All devices that dosent have corporate machine certificate needs to authenticate by PEAP and MSCHAPv2. The device will go trough self provisiong process and gets BYOD certificate from dedicated BYOD CA server by SCEP. dAcl will be applied that only gives access to the internet. 
    I wanna hear about your experiences about this kind of setup. Pros and cons. What do you think? 

    1. PEAP is definitely a protocol that is protected and secure. The difference from EAP-TLS is that it only requires a server-side certificate which is used to create the secure (TLS) tunnel. After the tunnel is build then credentials are passed via the inner method which is usually MS-CHAPv2:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_Extensible_Authentication_Protocol
    2. Once authentication happens then wireless traffic encryption would be handled by the encryption method chosen on the WLC which is usually AES:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard3. I don't have a configuration example that I can share since there are many different variables that can alter the configurations. For instance, certificate templates being used, AD structure, certificates used for PEAP, etc. Below are some sample documentations that I found on Cisco's site. They reference ACS but they should still give you a good idea on what is needed:http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/5500-series-wireless-controllers/113670-eap-authentication-00.html
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11567346/ise-and-eap-tlsI have also heard good things about Lab Minutes videos even though I have not watched them myself:http://www.labminutes.com/video/sec/ISE4. Yes, you can have ISE nodes communicate and sync over MPLS. You just need to make sure that you have enough bandwidth and that your round trip delay is less than 150ms5. I am not sure if it is possible NOT to show the guest credentials when registering for a guest account. I know they can be send via e-mail or sms but not aware of a way to prevent them from showing up on the screen.Thank you for rating helpful posts!

  • Cisco Secure ACS 4.0 Solution engine problem

    Hi,
    I have a probleme with a Cisco Secure ACS 4.0 Solution Engine (CSACSE-1113-K9).
    I try to power up the engine, but the light in the power button stay blinking all the time. Anyone have a idea why ?
    Last week, I boot it for the first time (It's brand new), every things goes fine.
    I made " shutdown " then wait the message to press 4 seconds power button to turn it off. This morning, nothing come up.
    I see one thing in the console "Press <SpaceBar> to update BIOS." after that, blank. No bios detection, no harddrive dectection, no windows boot.
    Any idea ?
    Thank you

    No, I'm sur.
    Then we have version 1113 of ACS.
    See: http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/products/ps6731/c2001/ccmigration_09186a008068f7bd.pdf
    Page 32(1-8) #2.
    I let the engine off about 6hours after my first post, then I try back. The engine start.
    What can cause this problem ?

    Hi.
    Does anyone could explain me about SSL/TLS?
    Here is the situation:
    E72 allows in securîty settings to select SSL/TLS. I selected it for both accessing and sending mails and I can logon to my POP and send with SMTP.  So apparently no problem.
    But I asked my internet provider if they support SSL/TLS and they told me no they does not support it....so my question is does really SSL/TLS works in my situation and my provider has no clue on security settings or SSL/TLS does not work but it has no incidence on using my mails as I said I can receive mails and send mails even if those security settings are selected...?
    Thanks if anyone could explain me this.
    Some e-mail providers like Gmail use SSL/TLS.

  • Cisco Meeting Place requirements and solution

    Hi There,
    I would like to have a on-site; server based manageable audio conference solution in our organization. We have 1 HO. and 25 remote branches located over the country. The Audio system should work via our data network. We have point to point and MPLS link throughout the network.
    Audio conference can be held through outlook express/web browser. If not, we can also opt for 1/2 IP Telephones in each Remote site. The HO audio/conference requirement is for 15 users.
    We also need to setup conference/Boardroom VC in the Head Office where all the HO Dept Managers would sit in case of remote site conference meeting.Also note that we have data connectivity in all the branches but Internet connections may/may not be available in some of the remote branches.
    I have gone through Cisco unified MeetingPlace and looks like a perfect solution to us. Could you please advise if this is the best solution for our audio solution. If yes, Please advise how this would work and suggest part code and license information.
    Thanks
    Aakash.

    This works on your voice network.  There is a centralized server usually located in the same location as your CUCM with a SIP connection between the two.  Bandwidth requirements are the same as a phone call. If you are using G.711, then 60K+ per call. Each participant calls into the system on either an internal number or on a PSTN line with a dedicated phone number(s). The enter the meeting ID and are in the meeting. Beside scheduled meetings reservationless is also supported.   The MP Application Server handles managing the voices in a meeting and is the only server required.
    MP runs on specific MCS server listed below and won’t install/be supported on other MCS servers.
    MCS 7845-I3-RC2 Dual Intel E5540 2.53 GHz, 4x300 HDD, 8GB RAM
    HP equivalent: DL380-G6 Server, part number AX693A
    MCS 7845-I2-RC2 (end-of-sale 12/09) Dual Intel 5140 2.33 GHz, 4x146GB HDD, 4GB RAM
    MCS 7845-H2-RC2 (end-of-sale 7/09) Dual Intel 5140 2.33 GHz, 4X146 GB HDD, 4GB RAM

    HP equivalent: DL380-G6 Server, part number AX690A
    Note: The MCS 7835-I3-RC1 does not support multinode deployments.
    The following URL (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/tsd_products_support_series_home.html) is the location of a lot of the MP documentation.

  • Using Cisco 3526 IPVC for Voice Calls as well

    Does anybody know the latest capabilities of the Cisco 3526 gateway when used as a Voice gateway? The Cisco SRND for "Cisco IP Video Telephony", which was published in July 2004, states that the IPVC gateways do NOT support H.245 Empty Capabilities Set or H.450. So they will give you supplementary services such as Hold, transfer, etc. Version 3.0 of the 3526 documentation lists "Empty capability set support" as a feature, although it does not state H.245 or H.450.
    Basically, I want to use a 3526 as a second Voice gateway as well as a Video gateway in a Call Manager deployment. I am just concerned that I won't get all the supplementary services when using it for voice calls.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    I know the product can support voice, my main concern was the support for ECS (Empty Capabilities Set) within H.245. If it does not support this my IP Phones will not be able to use the supplementary features such as Hol;d, Transfer, etc,etc.
    I have escalated this to Cisc here in the UK for clarification. I am sure it will, but I just want clarification from Cisco or somebody that has used it in the same scenario.
