[cisco-voip] SLP -- Multicast? Berbee IP Speakers across wan

Wed Sep 17 13:08:16 EDT 2008

Hey Scott,

Not sure if your still trying to troubleshoot this but Yes, we have
Berbee IP Speakers up and running.

1.       CM version: 6.0.1.2000-3

2.       Using SLP

3.       Not going across a WAN

4.       It works very well.

Our biggest trouble in setting up the speakers was getting the
InformaCast server to communicate with IP Speakers.  We finally got the
multicast traffic working when we put the speakers onto the same vlan as
our phone system, which was already multicast enabled.  Another trouble
we had was with the CFG file on the server.  The default location is
C:\Program
Files\Berbee\INformaCast\webapp\resources\INformaCastSpeaker.cfg .
Below is the contents of the file.

<InformaCastSpeakerConfiguration>

  <Servers>

    <InformaCast
url="http://10.255.1.15:8081/InformaCast/admin?cmd=spkr"/>

  </Servers>

</InformaCastSpeakerConfiguration>

Hope this helps,

An issue like that would need a TAC case for troubleshooting. But we use
the upload feature for uploading background images and ringtones, so we
know that non-cisco files can be posted there.

What method are you using to upload TFTP files?

This would work great if it actually worked.  I upload the file to the
CM and then restart the TFTP service go back and search for the file and
it's gone.

Berbee said that's the reason they went to SLP is because Cisco does NOT
allow none cisco files on the TFTP server.

if I'm doing something wrong....... PLEASE give me instructions on how
to do it.

Thanks

Scott

You should be able to upload any file to the TFTP server on a CUCM from
the OS Admin pages. Just make sure you restart the TFTP service after
doing so. Not sure if that actually helps or hinders your current
dilemma.

I would go with a special VLAN for the berbee speakers. Especially, from
what I remember, they can't do CDP and/or negotiate a voice vlan, so
those network ports can easily be used by a PC (if they can reach) and
hack your system. hack! hack.

Is anyone out in internet land using Berbee IP speakers?

are you also running CM 6.x?

did you upgrade to SLP?

Is it going across the WAN?

Does it work?

I have CM 6.1 and have upgraded the IP speakers to SLP since you can no
longer put non-cisco files on the CM TFTP (thanks cisco).  So to get
around this Berbee has you upgrade to SLP (which is a Multicast
239.255.255.253 <http://239.255.255.253/>  <http://239.255.255.253
<http://239.255.255.253/> > ).  So it tries TFTP  fails and goes to SLP.
Problem I'm having is that both the IP Speaker  and IC both use the SLP
Multicast address so my Cat 6509 doesn't want to  multicast back to an
address that is sourcing it.  I'm just curious if  I'm the only one? 

I think I'm about to setup a new vlan just for IP speakers with it's own
TFTP (IC) and get it working this way.  I can use SSMulticast but also
an  admin issue.

TIA

Scott
