CIPC / CCME Question

[cjhunt]

Hi,

Does anyone specifically know whether there is a firmware parameter required for CIPC ("load" command) when running it with CCME?

I have doen a fair bit of digging and all I can see so far is that you can specify the phone type as "type cipc".

I understand that CIPC is basicaly an emulation of 7970, so isn't the 7970 load appropriate?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

I have not setup CIPC with CME but according to the attached doc no firmware is required. Have a look;

Cisco IP Communicator 2.0

**No firmware required**

Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 is supported by Cisco CallManager Express 3.3 using Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4.

From this doc;

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps4625/prod_installation_guide09186a00805f6cb4.html

Cisco IP Communicator Overview (CME)

From this doc;

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps4625/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00806a7ffb.html#wp1010500

Use the normal phone provisioning commands. In the "type" command, use the "CIPC" keyword to identify this phone as a Cisco IP Communicator.

Hope this helps!

Rob,

That is a helpful response. Although I had read the second document already this did nothing to confirm whether there was any requirement or not, however the first link is clear enough...

Thanks again,

Chris,

I could not get my CIPC working with my CCME4.0.

If you have a solution by now, please help.

Joe,

Make sure you put "type CIPC" under the ephone that you created for the IP Communicator.

Shanky,

I have the command in, but it still does not work.

Please paste your relevant CME configs.

Definitely there are no load commands to give, the CIPC is self-contained excpet that if you configure locales on the CCME that will just mess the font on the display.

What is that is not working ?

Is the phone to registering, unable ot place calls, or what ?

Guys,

I was using the CIPC through the VPN client. When I upgraded the CIPC from 2.0.1.1 to 2.0.2.0 and the VPN client from 4.8.02.9 to 4.8.02.10 it started working.
