Note:
Keep in mind the amount of time the phone rings in your country when defining
the “remote ring number after” and “timeout” values. For example, in the United States,
phones ring for 2 seconds and then remain silent for 4 seconds. Defining a “ring remote
number after” value of 8 allows two full rings and then immediately begins ringing the
remote cell phone.
Selecting the options shown in Figure 7-22 generates the following command-line syntax:
ephone-dn 2 dual-line
snr 14805551212 delay 8 timeout 30 cfwd-noan 2000
mobility
exit
Notice that CME applies the configuration on an ephone-dn basis (allowing you to enable
this feature only for select users). Also, notice that you can configure the mobility feature
(allowing transfers of active calls to and from the Single Number Reach device) separately
from the Single Number Reach feature (allowing calls to ring another device after a speci-
fied amount of time).
Enabling the Flash-Based CME GUI
In addition to CCP, Cisco provides a GUI that allows you to manage some of the CME ba-
sic functions through a web interface. These basic functions include configuring and man-
aging ephones, ephone-dns, some system and voicemail functions, and reports.
Note:
After being in the Cisco world for some time, you definitely get the feeling that
“real Cisco techs” use the CLI. Seeing the CME GUI only reinforces that feeling; although
it does enable you to configure some basic settings, you can accomplish far more by using
the command line. The GUI suffices for a phone administrator whose primary job is the
configuration of new phones and phone lines.
Before you are able to access the GUI, there are a few preliminary configuration steps you
need to have in place. First and foremost, you need to ensure that you have loaded into the
flash memory of the CME router the files that power the GUI. If you extracted the TAR
file that contains the full CME installation into the flash of the CME router, the GUI files
should be included. If you installed the CME files individually, be sure to download and
install the CME GUI TAR file pack from Cisco.com. For more information on download-
ing and installing CME files into the flash of the router, check out Chapter 4, “Getting Fa-
miliar with CME Administration.”
Tip:
You can always verify that you have installed the GUI files by performing a directo-
ry list of your router's flash. Different CME versions organize the file structure differently,
but should have relatively the same files. Here's a directory listing of CME version 4.3:
