Configuring System Parameters
Cisco MobilityManager includes system-level mobility parameters for mobile connection, desktop and cellular phone rules and timers, settings for the JAVA telephony programming interface (JTAPI), and SNMP1 and Mobile Voice Access settings.
Many of the system parameters can also be configured for individual users in the User Information windows. Settings for individual users override the system-level settings assigned in the System Parameters window.
Note For basic Cisco MobilityManager operation, it is not necessary to enter any information or change any of the default settings on the System Parameters page. Modify the settings only as needed to activate or modify desired features.
To configure system parameters, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 From the Cisco MobilityManager administration window, choose System > System Parameters.
The System Parameters Configuration page opens.
Step 2 Use the Restart Cisco MobilityManager button if Cisco MobilityManager services have been stopped and you need start them again.
Step 3 Keep the default setting of Yes for the Gateway Early Media field. This field is sometimes used for troubleshooting.
Step 4 Choose Mobile Connect settings as described in Table 3-1.
Step 5 In the Maximum Wait Time for Desktop Phone Pickup field, enter the maximum delay in milliseconds that is permitted before the user must pick up the desktop phone. If the specified time is exceeded, the call is disconnected. The range is 5000-60000 milliseconds, and the default is 10000 milliseconds.
Step 6 Choose cellular phone pickup settings as described in Table 3-2.
Step 7 Choose cellular timer settings as described in Table 3-3.
Step 8 Choose settings for automatic update of JTAPI, as described in Table 3-4.
Step 9 Choose SNMP settings, as described in Table 3-5
Step 10 Choose Mobile Voice Access settings as described in Table 3-6.
Step 11 Enter Cisco CallManager AXL server settings as described in Table 3-7.
Step 12 Click Save.

Auto Update JTAPI File Settings
Table 3-4 describes the Auto Update JTAPI file settings that control updating of the JAVA telephony programming interface used for communications between Cisco MobilityManager and Cisco CallManager. Use the JTAPI file settings to configure automatic synchronization of the JTAPI versions. If you enable the automatic update, then the version of JTAPI is updated automatically to match that of Cisco CallManager.
The jtapi.jar file from Cisco CallManager 4.1.3 is bundled in the Cisco MobilityManager software distribution. If you are using a different version of Cisco CallManager, you need to configure the JTAPI file settings as described in this section.
Note The JTAPI automatic update takes effect only after Cisco MobilityManager is restarted.

Configuring Directory User Settings
Directory user settings are required for connection to the directory server that Cisco CallManager uses. For a working connection, you must configure the directory user settings for Cisco MobilityManager to be identical to those in the Cisco CallManager in which directory services are configured. If the settings are not correctly configured, users cannot log in to the User pages or change their user profiles. The directory services information is stored in the DirectorySevices.ini file, which is located in the Cisco CallManager c$\dcdsrvr directory.
Note If your Cisco CallManager installation uses Active Directory or Netscape directory, then refer to the Cisco Customer Directory Configuration Plugin Guide for Cisco CallManager. The file DirectoryConfiguration.ini will be created after the Directory User Settings page is configured, and this file should be the same as the file in Call Manger \dcdsrvr directory.
To configure directory user settings, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Choose System > Directory User Settings.
Step 2 Enter values for each field in this window that are identical to those configured for Cisco CallManager, as shown Table 3-8.
Step 3 Click Save.
