cme 4.3 on a cisco 3745

Hi Guys; Has anyone tried to install cme 4.3 on a cisco 3745 ? If so which IOS version have you tried. I am stuck trying to install cme 4.3 on a 3745 and can not find the right ios. It is for the ccna voice labs. Ram 256, flash 128.

Cheers.

Fereidoun.

Dear,

I never tried it on 3745 platform but try it on 12.4(15)XZ attached is the release note where you can find it supports CME 4.3.

Hi ashar; I tried it before but it hangs and c

an't create the right directories.  I even

tried it on c 2691 and c 2561XM still . I have not managed to find the right IOS for none of them.

Fereidoun.

Dear,

What exactly is the error and problem that you are facing? are you using the supported IOS?

Tariq Khan.

Hi Tariq ; It tends to miss opening some directories a

nd hanging in middle of installing the ephone directories

The 12.4(15)XZ  is not available on cisco's site.  I ma totally stuck now.

Hi Tariq: I have managed to install cme gui 7.0

on 3745 with the recent ios, but I don't know how to

create directories like phone and others to upload the files in them.

Can you help please.

Kind regards.

Fereidoun.

The last platform which supports the 3745 for CME is 4.2 (12.4(11)XW throttle).  CME 4.3 does not support the 3745, as per this document:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/requirements/guide/33matrix.htm

Your options are to either run CME 4.2, or get hardware which supports more recent CME releases.  That platform can't handle the feature set of newer IOS code.

Hi; Thank you for your comment. I think I am starting to think your way. But

can't find the 12.4(11)xw and cisco won't guide me for any other IOS to

download. Would you know which IOS would do the job please?

Thanks.

Hi;  I tried it but it didn't work. So I installed the GUI 7.0.0.1 and it worked with the latest " ipvoice ios version". This is after going through every IOS and cme available. I even increased the internal compact flash to 1GIG and still no good. This is all because of misleading info by cisco on compatibility matrix list for CME 4.3 and CME 7.0 that I bought the cheaper 3745, otherwise I could have bought the 2811 instead.

The IOS is : 3745-ipvoicek9-mz.124-25d.bin

Now I need to find out how I can make the right directories like "phone, "desktop " and so on and put the right data in them to work smoothly.

Do you have any suggestions please. ?

Kind regards.

Fereidoun.

You don't need to make directories for the phone firmware, html, etc.  You can throw everything in the root of flash and things will work (just be carefule that you don't have so many files that you run out of root entries on flash).  If you want to put things in a folder:

Router# mkdir test
Create directory filename [test]?
Created dir flash:test

Router# copy ftp flash:/test/destination-filename

If you read the CME configuration guide, it does a good job at explaining the procedure for initial CME configuration.

And I fail to see how the CME matrix is incorrect.  I was able to run CME 4.2 on a 3745 running 12.4(11)XW7.  That's the latest version of CME and IOS you'll ever get on this box:

You didn't obtain the output I requested in my last post.

Please collect the information I request if you want me to help you out with this.


That may be cosmetic, though.  Those files should be writing to a subfolder in system:/its/...

You need to define a DN, ephone, time-zone, and issue 'cre cnf' first, before those are built, though.
