After you enter these names in ephone-dn configuration mode, they immediately take effect. If ephone-dn 24 were to call ephone-dn 21, Ruth would see Samuel Oldham appear on her caller ID information, All modern Cisco IP Phone models allow you to browse the corporate directory by pressing the Directory button on the phone itself.
To forward calls from the IP phone, simply press the CFwdAll softkey button. The IP phone beeps twice and allows you to enter a number.
Enter the number to which all calls on the IP phone will forward, and then press the pound key (#) on the phone so that it knows you are done entering the number.
To cancel call forwarding, press the CFwdAll button a second time.
Press the PickUp softkey and dial the call park number that you want to answer.
From the phone at which the call was parked, press the PickUp softkey followed by an asterisk (*) to recall the most recently parked call back to the phone.
Configuring Intercom
This feature allows an administrative assistant and executive to work closely together by having a speakerphone tether between them. The way intercom deployments work is through a speed-dial and auto-answer speed-dial configuration. The administrative assistant presses the button configured as an intercom, it speed dials the executives phone, which auto-answers the call on muted speakerphone. To establish two-way communication, the executive deactivates mute (by pressing the Mute button). To configure intercom functionality, you must configure two new ephone-dns, one for each side of the intercom connection. These intercom lines should be assigned a number, just like any other ephone-dn. However, to prevent others from accidentally (or purposely) dialing the intercom and ending up on muted speakerphone for a random IP phone, the number should be something users cannot dial from other IP phones.
Configuring Intercom
Notice the number assigned to ephone-dn 60 is A100. You cannot dial this number from a Cisco IP Phone keypad, but you can assign it to a speed-dial button. The intercom command acts like a speed-dial button on the ephone-dn. In the case of ephone-dn 60, the command intercom A101 dials the number A101, which is assigned to ephone-dn 61. Because ephone-dn 61 is also configured with the intercom command, it auto-answers the incoming call on muted speakerphone. The label syntax allows you to assign a logical name to the speed-dial; otherwise, the A101 or A100 label will show up next to the line button on the phone
Configuring Paging
Paging is similar to the intercom concept; however, it provides only a one-way automatic path for communication. This is useful to allow broadcast messages, such as emergency notifications or to notify employees of holding calls. The CME paging system works by designating an ephone-dn as a paging number.
Calls to the DN of this ephone-dn broadcast to the IP phones that you assigned to this paging group.
Configuring Paging
CME supports paging in unicast and multicast configurations.
Paging in unicast configuration causes the CME router to send individual messages to each one of the IP phones in the group. So, if six IP phones were assigned to paging group 80, a page to the group would cause the CME router to stream six individual audio signals to the devices. Because of the overhead this causes, CME limits unicast paging groups to a maximum of ten IP phones.
Multicast configuration allows the CME router to send one audio stream, which only the IP phones assigned to the paging group will receive. This allows a virtually limitless number of IP phones in each paging groupCalls to the paging number 5555 now page both ephones 1 and 2 using unicast paging unicast, single-group paging
Calls to the paging number 5555 now page both ephones 1 and 2 using unicast paging
Define the patterns that CME should block during the after-hours time slots you have configured
Step 1. Define days and/or hours of the day that your company considers off-hours. Step 2. Specify patterns that you want to block during the times specified in Step 1. Step 3. Create exemptions to the policy, if needed.
Although it is easier to read than scrolling through wrapped terminal output, the messages are just as cryptic. For this reason, many third-party vendors created CDR interpreters that format the syslog data into easy-to-understand spreadsheets and HTML pages. Tip: Cisco offers a web-based utility that can show many third-party software applications geared around CDR interpretation. You can find the partner search application at http://tinyurl.com/5okclk.
