Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 and USB Usage

For many tasks that you can perform in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000, you can use a USB key or USB hard disk if the file exists on the USB device. Instead of using a USB device, you can use the PC desktop or SFTP server for many of these tasks, as described in the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000. This section only describes USB usage for these tasks; it does not describe the SFTP server or PC desktop options.

---

Caution You can purchase the USB devices at any retailer. Cisco does not provide support for the USB devices through the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). If you have issues with the USB hardware, contact the manufacturer of the USB device or the retailer where you purchased the device.

---

Before you use a USB key, you must download the Network Configuration Signature file (configure.xml) from http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?mdfid=283661240&flowid=26421, edit the file with valid network information (such as IP address, subnet mask, and gateway configuration), and save the updated copy in the USB key.

Cisco recommends two USB keys: one for diagnostics and one for recovery (network configuration). The USB key that you use for recovery does not modify the existing network setting of your machine. When the network configuration USB key is inserted into the system, temporary network access is established, allowing you to access the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface. This temporary network access is automatically disabled if the machine is restarted.

When you modify the network configuration USB key, open the temporary IP address in your browser; then, log in to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface and modify the network settings to reflect the changes that you made in the temporary network interface so that the modifications are permanent.

---

Note Cisco recommends that you use two dedicated USB keys for network configuration (recovery) and diagnostics. You should copy the Network Configuration Signature file (configure.xml) to the network configuration USB key and the Diagnostics Signature file (diagnose.xml) to the Diagnostics USB key.

---

Table 2 USB Usage with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 

Task	Important Considerations
Reimaging the server	•Format the USB device with FAT32. •NTFS is not supported. •Download the answer file (platformConfig.xml) from the Cisco-recommended site. Do not modify the answer file.
Updating the network parameters through the configure.xml file	•Format the USB device with FAT32. Only the first partition is mounted. •NTFS is not supported. •Make sure that at least 60 MB of free space is available on the USB device. If the USB device has less than 60 MB of free space, the appropriate files cannot be copied to the USB device. If a monitor is connected to a server and an error occurs, an error message is displayed on the monitor. •Designate a single USB device for the configure.xml file. Do not copy the configure.xml file to a USB file that has other files on it.
Uploading a Cisco-provided country pack	•Format the USB device with FAT32. Only the first partition is mounted. •NTFS is not supported. •Download the country pack from the Cisco-recommended site.
Uploading the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file	•Format the USB device with FAT32. Only the first partition is mounted. •NTFS is not supported. •Only .xls file extensions (files created by using Microsoft Office) are supported. Files that use the .xlsx extension are not supported.
Backing up and restoring your data	•Format the USB device with FAT32. Only the first partition is mounted. •NTFS is not supported. •The size requirement to back up and restore your data is 1 TB. •Cisco recommends that you do not use the USB key to back up and restore your data because of the large size requirement.
Uploading an audio source file for Music On Hold (MOH)	•Format the USB device with FAT32. Only the first partition is mounted. •NTFS is not supported. •MOH supports the following wave file encoding: –16-bit PCM (most any sample rate will work but Cisco recommends 8,000, 16,000, 32,000, 48,000, or 44,100) stereo or mono –8-bit mu-law (Cisco recommends 8,000 sample rate) stereo or mono –8-bit a-law (Cisco recommends 8,000 sample rate) stereo or mono
Uploading Cisco User Connect licenses	•Format the USB device with FAT32. Only the first partition is mounted. •NTFS is not supported.
Exporting your configured data	•Format the USB device with FAT32. Only the first partition is mounted. •NTFS is not supported.
Using the Cisco Diagnostic Tool through the diagnose.xml file	•Format the USB device with FAT32. Only the first partition is mounted. •NTFS is not supported. •Cisco recommends that you purchase an 8 GB USB key for diagnostics. Diagnostics may generate anywhere from 60 MB to 8 GB of space, depending on the activity of your system. •Designate a single USB device for the diagnose.xml file. Do not copy the diagnose.xml file to a USB file that has other files on it. •Cisco recommends that you do not remove the USB key when a media or file transfer is in progress. During a file transfer, do not press the Back or Forward key in the browser or perform any other operations. It is a best practice to allow any in-progress operations to complete.

Call Pickup Feature Limitation

Call Pickup allows you to answer a call that is ringing on a coworker's phone by redirecting the call to your phone. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 supports only the Directed Call Pickup feature on Cisco Unified SIP Phone 3905.

CSCtq34429 FTS spreadsheet upload failed with error message though fills all details

When you use the data configuration file, which is a Cisco-provided .xls spreadsheet template, for automatic setup during the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard, the system automatically uses the default values for settings that are not mandatory in the file. In rare cases, the spreadsheet upload fails without showing any error notifications. The spreadsheet upload failure can have various causes—for example, incorrect configuration settings in multiple FTS pages.

---

Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 does not check the integrity of the configuration data until after the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file is inserted into the system.

---

For the automatic setup to succeed, you must review and update the settings in the FTS file and try uploading the spreadsheet again. The following are a few examples of FTS settings that can get configured incorrectly:

•Network tab—Invalid inputs for IP Address(System), IP Address(Media Resource), Subnet Mask, or Default Gateway.

•PSTN Gateway tab—Invalid inputs for Line Coding and Framing—One of these or both the ports (Port 0/0/0 and Port 1).

•Dial Plan tab—Invalid inputs for Operator Dial Code, Outside Dial Code, Feature Dial Code, or Interdigit Timeout.

•Sites tab—Invalid Local Area Codes for Central Sites. Make sure that you add appropriate values for Additional Emergency Services and Emergency Location ID Numbers; else, keep these fields empty.

CSCts28780 No MWI indication on Webex Connect softphone (Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000)

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 supports the Cisco UC Integration for Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool, which enables administrators to monitor, manage, control, and enhance user access to Cisco WebEx Connect.

---

Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 does not support the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) feature that notifies the user when a new voice message is delivered.

CSCto58908—Alarm on Health Summary when Channels Are not Configured on PSTN

The English, Mandarin, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and French online help for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface does not include the following troubleshooting information when the system is nearing maximum call capacity.

Description

An alarm is generated when PSTN calls utilization nears 100%. PSTN calls will not be established after utilization reaches 100% when:

•All the channels are busy

•The PSTN configuration settings are incorrect

•One or more channels are not functioning properly

•There is an error in the service provider settings

Resolution

Perform any of the following actions:

•Review the reports for high call volume on the Call Detail Reports page (Monitoring > Call Detail Reports).

•Reduce the number of inbound and outbound calls.

•Make sure that you select the proper channel selection order. For example, if you lease channels 1 to 15, you must have the channel selection order as top-down. If you did not lease the entire PRI span from the service provider, enter only the partial channel range that is available.

If this problem persists, contact your technical support team; for example, contact your Value Added Reseller (VAR), or if you are the Value Added Reseller, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

CSCts02379—Unable to See Troubleshooting Information when Fan Speed Goes Out of Threshold
