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

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Yeah – I was looking at that. I’m not sure we can take that approach because we have so many already imported. And extensions are assigned by us, not the AD team. It’s weird.

I will look through.

Question: Is there a “pool” that CCM will grab an extension from to assign magically?

The way I use self-provisioning, is to allow CUCM to create the lines for me at user synchronization time.

System > LDAP > Dir > Enterprise Users* > Feature Group Template > Common Features* > User Profile > Common User* > Universal Line Template > Common Line* > All kinds of template settings
System > LDAP > Dir > Enterprise Users* > Apply Mask to synced telephone numbers to create a new line for inserted users > Checked
System > LDAP > Dir > Enterprise Users* > Apply Mask to synced telephone numbers to create a new line for inserted users  > Mask > XXXXXXXXXXXX**

*These are just the names of my objects, your names might be different.
**That's 12 Xs to accommodate a NANP +E164 number from LDAP

I guess I’m missing the piece of how is an extension assigned then?

With an existing phone, the extension is assigned automatically.

I was gonna do some testing, but any pointers would help.

I mean, can I create the DN first? And configure DN with userID?

I’m still getting used to this process.

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?
