Difference with CUCM 8.6 and 9.0

Hi Friends,
We are planning to up grade our CUCM setup from 8.6 to 9.0.
Before doing it, would like to the difference between version 8.6 and 9.0.
Basic information about our setup:
1. Current CUCM ver: 8.6
2. Users count : 5500
3. Using feature : Extension Mobility
Thanks in Advance...!!!! 

First of all you should be using 9.1 (latest release of this version and not 9.0)
Second, you need to check the features guide and determine which feature will affect your users.
One of the major difference in 9.X is the License Manager (ELM) you need to understand in detail how this works and plan your upgrade accordingly.
Please refer to this post, it discuss in details what you need to upgrade to 9.X and all the relevant documentation

  • What is the Difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2? having problems with my stream

    What is the difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2?
    I am having major problems with my live stream, i am currently using FMLE 3.1 and using a Imac computer.
    The stream seems to be delayed by 20mins and keeps on crashing
    I have a 2MB upload speed and frame rate 25.00 and bit rate 800 kbps fromat VP6
    Can anyone help me with getting the settings right and what is the best computer to use to allow FMLE not to crash and stream to run smooth?
    Please Help
    Thank you

    Hello!
    I would be interested in helping you with your question. You are going to need to provide a little more information about your current configuration in order for me to better understand your issue. Until then, I'll do my best to answer your quesitons.
    There are subtle changes from 3.1 to 3.2. Both are stable releases. With your setup, you should be using 3.2.
    Issues with FMLE typically deal with your capture card. The issues you are having sound like a streaming server issue. Stream delayed 20min? This isn't typical behavior. What streaming media server are you usign? FMS or Wowza? Define 'crashing'. Anything in the output log in FMLE or is your server 'crashing'.

  • Need Urgent Help on Meeting Place Integration with CUCM 7.1 and AS5400 PSTN Gateway

    Hi,
    This is first time I am on this forum.
    I have already tried going through a lot of docs on docwiki.cisco.com but couldn't find complete configuration help.
    I have to integrate Meeting Place 8.X with an existing CUCM and an E1 gateway (PSTN Gateway) AS5400.
    The CUCM is already part of a Telepresence Environment. I need to create a SIP trunk between AS5400 and CUCM 7.1 and then create a Trunk between AS5400 and Cisco Unified MP 8.X and then between CUMP and CUCM.
    I need help on AS5400 SIP Configs as well as parameters I need to cover on CUCM (Though I have done some basic dial-peer configs but they haven't been of much help).
    Then I also need help on AS5400 SIP configs with CUMP 8.0
    Any docs on Integration between CUMP and TP3000 will be of great help too.

    I can get the Ricoh to register as sip endpoint, it answeres then imediatly disconnects. Doing a monitor with Wireshark looks like it attempts to negotiate t38 but fails. Any idea why this fails?

  • Silent monitoring calls with CUCM 6.0 and UCCX 5.0

    Dear all,
    We have just integrated a 3rd party recording solution in our VoIP system, which consists of CUCM 6.0 and UCCX 5.0.
    Until now we used the recording and monitoring solution of the UCCX for the agents. This worked ok.
    But, as we wanted to record other people's calls and also the outgoing calls of the agents, we have created for them a Recording profile in the CCM and assign it to the agents phone.
    We have also mantained the recording and monitoring active for them in the UCCX.
    What is happenning now is the following:
    - The 3rd party recordings works perfectly.
    - The recording in the UCCX gets only one way audio.
    - The silent monitoring gets only one way audio.
    - If the 3rd party recording server is stopped, but the recording profile is stil active in the phones, the silent monitoring in the UCCX works.
    Could any of you confirm if using a 3rd party recording solution the monitoring still works?
    Is there any 3rd party silent monitoring software?
    Thanks in advcance.
    Best regards,
    Amaia

    We've got to delimit the problem.
    When we use 3rd party recording solution there are 4 RTP flows: 1 incoming to monitored/recorded phone and 3 flows outgoing.
    1 incoming RTP flows
    - voice of remote phone
    3 outgoing RTP flows
    - voice of monitored/recorded phone
    - voice of monitored/recorded phone sent to 3d party recording server
    - voice of remote phone sent to 3rd party recording server
    When we use a network analyzer we see that the agent running in the PC (UCCX 5.0) establishes two RTP flows for the monitoring session. But we can see that one of these flows sends 3 packet RTP per 1 packet RTP sent in the other RTP flow (in the same time).
    We think agent sends to monitoring device all the outoing RTP packets of the phone (that belong to three different RTP flows), instead of sending only the RTP packets belonging to voice of monitored/recorded phone.
    The other flow, voice of remote phone, sounds fine.
    Is there a solution to avoid this problem when we monitor with UCCX 5.0 and record with a 3rd party software at the same time?
    Thanks,
    Christian

  • Generic PG with CUCM, IP IVR and CVP

    Hello
    Does any one know if it is possible to have a Generic PG with pims for CUCM, IP IVR and CVP?
    Thanks in advance
    Victor

    Hi
    Be aware there are a few different versions of UCCX - the prices vary quite a lot based on the standard/enhanced/premium version you go for.
    Premium adds some of the things you said you aren't interested in (outbound, agent email etc), so you can probably get away with Enhanced - but really check the requirements carefully. You lose a good number of advanced features such as db integration and so on.
    If you drop another level to Standard, you lose even more - including loss of Agent Desktop in favour of IPPA. Tricky to recommend that in most cases...

  • JSF datatable - any difference with JSF 1.1 and JSF 1.2

    Hi All,
    In my project there are lot of Datatables, which retrieve data from the database and display it to the user. For each datatable, the columns are not fixed. I want to create some kind of component that can be reusable.
    It is basically a JSF portlet. Now i have to use RAD 6. RAD 6 supports only JSF1.1. I have to migrate this to RAD7 in the near future. Are there any differences between the Datatable in JSF 1.1 and JSF 1.2?
    I had this approach in mind.
    a) Create the datatable programmatically and put the contents to panelgrid. This way the jsp code will be minimized. Is it a good option.? Are the APIs same in both the versions?
    b) Is it possible to create a custom datatable which can take some key as input. Then based on the key the datatable can be populated with as many columns as desired.
    Please let me know if there are any other good options.
    ~Anitha.

    Hi guys,
    my code goes like this..
    for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) {
                   UIColumn column = new UIColumn();
                   dataTable.getChildren().add(column);
                   HtmlOutputText header = new HtmlOutputText();
                   header.setValue(periodHeader[j]);
                   column.setHeader(header);
                   HtmlOutputText output = new HtmlOutputText();
                   output.setValue(new Double(periodLiability[j]));
                   ValueBinding vb1 = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
                             .getApplication().createValueBinding(
                                       ("#{liability.periodLiability["+j+"]}"));
                   output.setValueBinding("value", vb1);
                   column.getChildren().add(output);
    this code gives me the number of headers i need. But, it doesnt render the columns. I have an array of Double (periodLiability) which stores few values of Double type. I want to show thesee values inthe dataTable Column.
    Please help me..

  • Voice Mail Port Problem with CUCM 8.5 and Connection 8.5

    Hi im having a very strange problem witch the voice mail ports between a CM 8.5 and a Cisco Unity connection 8.5 , i configured them and they registered and all was working fine, however when i rebooted the servers the ports stayed in status unknown i tried resetting them both sides, re adding config both sides and nothing after hours of trying and deleting and adding the same config it worked again, however we have a power outage today and the same thing happened again status unknown and still i cannot get them to register again. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I'm not sure but it could be a DNS issue. Is DNS configured or are you just using IP addresses?  Make sure everything is resolving correctly.

  • Difference with a OTA update and iTunes update

  • Difference with cascading and trunking

    Hi guys ,
    What's the difference with cascading two switches and trunking two switches . I believe , you need to trunk , is because , you are carrying multiple vlans through a trunk and cascading two switches is to make two switches become virtualy one . Only management vlan , and not many vlan .
    Am I correct , please advice ......

    Hi, you have it right, the purpose of trunking is to allow you to extend vlans where you cannot physically install another switch for those vlans for various reasons. For example ideialy you want to have one unique vlan per department so you setup one 48port access switch for users in department-X but cannot do so for department-Y being in same location , here you you can then use trunk from a VTP server switch and a VTP client switc and pass department-Y vlan onto that switch thus having both departments in same switch but different vlans.. here it is assumed there are SVI layer 3 interfaces configured for each vlan if both VLANS need to communicate one another.
    On the other hand cascading is simply interconnecting the two switches to be managed using swith cluster techology and no neccesarity need to implement trunking and have it manage through one ip address and mamagement vlan.

  • No ringbacktone for inbound calls with cucm 8.6

    Hi,
    we have this problem from many days...
    we have two branches with cucm cluster(Publisher and Subscriber) at Head office and cisco untiy.The branches are connected to Head office through MPLS vpn and all the ip phones are registred to publisher located at headoffice.
    our setup is like below
    HO and BR2 having SIP lines and BR1 has PSTN Lines.
    we implement greetings for head office and 2 branches at Headoffice Unity.
    when any call comes to headoffice gateway the greetings will be played and call will be diverted to the appropriate extension.everything is fine.
    But the problem is when the call comes to Branch gateway and the greetings will be played and the call gets diverted to the IP phone to which the caller dialed the extension. but the caller is not hearing the ringback tone while the extension is ringing. and the caller cannot know whether the extension is ringing or the call got disconnected.
    i tried to change the " Send h225 User Information Message"  in service parameters from "Use ANN for Ring Back" to H225 Info for call Progress Tone"
    whenever i am changing to  "H225 Info for call Progress Tone" then the branches problem getting solved but Headoffice getting the same problem.
    please can anyone help............................

  • [Problem] Configuring SPA112 LINE2 with CUCM

    Good Morning visualized the topic 
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/134371/configuring-spa112-cucm#comment-10303881, 
    but I'm having trouble configuring the line2 the SPA112 would someone make a how-to for I am newbie in CCUM .
    Thank you for a while ..
    Sorry for my bad english

    hello,
    instructions for setting up sip endpoints in cucm is here
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/admin/7_1_2/ccmcfg/bccm-712-cm/b09sip3p.html
    basically on the ATA, log in as admin, go to the voice --> quick setup
    go to line2 and add the username, password, proxy server, and Authorization ID (if needed)
    This is not a cisco supported configuration, but there are ATAs that are supported with CUCM, the ata186 and ata187, but I think they are End of life.
    Hope this helps,
    Dan

  • Jabber 9.6 no voicemail tab for CUC with CUCM 9 and CUC 8.6

    Hi guys,
    I have Jabber 9.2 and 9.6 clients with CUCM 9.1.2, CUC 8.5.1 and Cisco IM + P 9.1.1.
    We've recently updated the CUCM and CUPS to Cisco IM+P.  Also we have migrated from CUPC Clients to Jabber clients.  The CUC server has remained as is.  I was able to get the CUPC clients to get voicemail/visual voicemail but the Jabber client doesn't even display an ico for voicemail. 
    The service profile for all users is set correctly to point to the CUC server and there's no errors when I go to the jabber client "show connction status".  
    I haven't been able to find much about this issue.  I have noticed that if I set the mail store the voicemail tab appears but we are not using a mail store as the voicemail repositary.  Is this now required to check voicemail?  If so can someone point me to the configuration guide?  We have exchange 2012.  Thanks very much!

    Hi every body,
    I  have some problems but not with all the users, is only working with 3  users and the rest of them don't work, I attached the errors that I get  when I try to log in Telephony Accounts in the Jabber, I used the Jabber  of one User, and from here I introduce my credentials (user and  password) and I can get the voice mails (only from de 3 users that is  woriking fine), but when I introduce the credentials of the other user I  get the error and Can't get the voicemails.
    The 127.23.0.7 is the IP address of the Cisco Unity Connection.
    Please Help Me I'm stuck with this!

  • Printing differences with LR4+ between Windows 8 and iMac

    Hi. I have using my iMac running the latest version of OS-X with LR printing currently to an Epson XP-600 with pretty good results, that is, the print matches the screen with few exceptions.
    I recently installed my second allowable copy of LR4 to a new HP laptop running Windows 8 and the prints, using the same photos, are way off both in darkness and in color shift. The Printer interfaces look different but many of the options are the same. I currently let the printer control the prints (with either computer) but tried separate profiles as well. No real change. Here is the important part... The only other program I have on the new Laptop that can print photos is Microsoft PowerPoint and the photos printed with PowerPoint are identical to the photos printed in LR on the iMac! So... somehow the Windows LR is changing the parameters.
    I have compared settings between the two computers (only one opened at a time) over and over and ran through a set of ink cartridges trying to match either LR/iMac or Windows PowerPoint to the LR Windows photos to no avail. Am I missing something obvious? Why don't the LRs print the same with the same settings regardless of the operating system? Both are 64 bit computers. Any thoughts would be appreciated... thanks! Andy

    Thank you for replying, Rikk. However I respectfully disagree with you. I wasn't comparing the printed photo to the laptop monitor but to the other computer's printed photo (and to the iMac's monitor by extension). Big difference. I deliberately let the printer manage color because with the iMac, the print matched the monitor without profile control. In Windows, I also let the printer manage color so LR, let alone the monitor, should have no influence on color, much like the PowerPoint print as you mentioned. The printer, if printer settings are the same, should produce the same print in OS-X or Windows 8. The PowerPoint print matching the LR print on the Mac proves this to be true IMHO.
    To put it another way, I'm not trying to match the Windows print to the Laptop monitor, which is not only uncalibrated but somewhat irrelevant. The two monitors look nothing alike with regard to color. Neither monitor should actually influence the print when compared to the other print using identical printer settings with LR set to printer control.
    Please do not think I'm trying to be contentious here, I'm not, but to put it a third way, If I print the photo from another program (iPhoto) on the iMac, it looks identical to the print in LR on the iMac. Because the printer is in control. On the Windows computer, printing in and out of LR, with printer settings the same, do not. That's what I'm trying to find out.
    Finally with respect to your last sentence, that's my whole point. I believed I had turned off color awareness in LR on both computers. I don't need it. Apparently, I didn't turn it off on the Windows computer and I would love to know why it didn't go off?
    Thanks, Andy
    PS You deserve an explanation as to why I use the printer control and no profiles. The answer is somewhat serendipitous: With this particular printer (and I've had many), when the printer is set to manage the color, the prints, for whatever reason, very closely match the iMac monitor (which is calibrated), even moreso than with printer color OFF and ICC profiles employed. I've tried them all. I only use one kind of paper. If I call up a photo of my grandchildren, the print matches the iMac display close enough for my needs. What I see is what I print. Why change it?
