[cisco-voip] setting primary phone for Jabber users without a physical phone - licensing

[Pawlowski, Adam]

The quick user/phone add should work as generically for Jabber devices as anything else. Just that I've found that the common phone profile will not populate the correct "Cisco Support Field" for mobile and I have to go into those and key in the configuration file that customer should have.

It ended up being easier to insert via AXL to avoid having to fool with that.

I'm trying to setup an easy to replicate (troubleshoot/reconcile) system in place for our Jabber deployment.

We've decided to assign each Jabber device type to each user so there's no end-user support issues when they want to use it on another device and/or move from one device type to another.

If I'm not mistaken, in this case, and, in any case where a primary phone is not set, more licenses are used then would need to be. The issue at hand here, is what happens when we deploy Jabber without a physical phone?

I'm already finding that the quick/add feature really only works when a phone is configured (although I have to work through that). So, I'm wondering, is it worthwhile to configure a "dummy" phone for Jabber users and set the primary phone for all Jabber clients to this dummy phone? Or should I ask them to pick the CSF jabber device as the primary phone for example?

What have others done?
