[cisco-voip] Retrieving device information from CISCO CallManager

[Andrea Cerioli]

Thanks to all for your support.
The very ugly way is not for us, and SNMP does not return this info
since ccmPhoneInfo.ccmPhoneTable.ccmPhoneEntry.ccmPhoneIpAddress
looks to be always empty.

THe supported SOAP interface is the one we investigated, but although
we are using 4.1(3) we could not find the right query to do.
We manage to extract any sort of info but not the IP address.

Perhaps we don't have the greatest and latest documentation.
Can you please point us to the right query?

Thanks in advance for any further help.

Andrea.
