Connecting to the CME Router Securely
When you initially expand the Unified Communications folder under the Configuration
section of CCP, you see only one available option: Unified Communications Features.
Only one option appears because you have not yet configured the CME router to support
CME features. As you can see from Figure 4-4, CCP enables you to configure the router
in one of four ways:
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express:
Most small businesses
choose this option. CCP configures the router as a standalone CME system.

Gateway:
Enables you to use the CME router as a voice gateway. Voice gateways
translate between dissimilar networks (such as your VoIP network connecting to the
public switched telephone network [PSTN] over analog or digital trunks). Use this op-
tion if you are managing your Cisco phones with another system (such as Cisco Unity
Connection Manager [CUCM]) and want to use this router only as a voice gateway.

Cisco Unified CME as SRST:
Enables the IP Phones to use the CME router as a
failover device should they lose connectivity with the primary call-management system.
■
None:
Disables all Unified Communications capabilities of the CME router.
