Introduction
These release notes describe requirements, restrictions, and caveats for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator. These release notes are updated for every maintenance release and every major release but not for patches or hot fixes.
Before you install Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, we recommend that you review this document for issues that might affect your system. For a list of the open caveats, see the "Open Caveats" section.
System Requirements
•Network Requirements
•Server Requirements
•Client Computer Requirements
•Compatibility Matrix and Supported Upgrades
Network Requirements
For Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to successfully operate as an endpoint, your network must meet the requirements in these sections:
•Voice over IP
•Ethernet P rts and the Non-Autonegotiate Setting
•Network Ports Used by Cisco Unified Personal Communicator
•Routing Access Control Lists
•Quality of Service
•Network Address Translation
Voice over IP
You must configure voice over IP (VoIP) on your Cisco routers and gateways.
Ethernet P rts and the Non-Autonegotiate Setting
Make sure you configure all interfaces carrying media-type data (voice, video, web conferencing) between two endpoints to non-autonegotiate speed and duplex (for example, set all ports to 100 MB full duplex). You must also configure Ethernet interfaces on routers and switches in the cloud in this way.
If the autonegotiate setting is retained, negotiation can occur at any time, and if it occurs during a UDP transmission, that data is lost. Because voice data is UDP, users can experience significant voice quality problems. Similarly if any logical data is transmitted over UDP, serious system impairment might occur.
Network Ports Used by Cisco Unified Personal Communicator
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator expects inbound and outbound traffic to occur on certain ports through certain protocols.
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator lets the operating system pick a random port for the origination for every type of traffic except for these cases:
•For Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), SIP Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE), the OS uses a port in the range of 50000 to 50063. The client originates traffic from these ports and also connects to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server and the Cisco Unified Presence server on these ports.
•For Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP), Cisco Unified Personal Communicator selects its own port for sending and receiving. It uses port 16384 as the base port for the initial stream and uses higher port numbers for additional RTP and RTCP streams. For a given stream, the same port in the range is always used for transmission and reception.
For details, see the "Network Ports for Inbound Traffic" section and the "Network Ports for Outbound Traffic" section.
Network Ports for Inbound Traffic
Table 1 lists the network ports for inbound traffic that Cisco Unified Personal Communicator monitors.

Configurations that Use Network Ports
You can use this network port information for these configurations:
•For integration with Cisco Security Agent for Unified Communications Manager or other applications that limit the types of activities that untrusted applications are allowed to perform on client computers.
•To unblock traffic destined to Cisco Unified Personal Communicator through a firewall. For details, see the "Configuring Network Ports on Client Computers" section.
To avoid blocking reachability status information, verify that firewalls on the client computer or on the network are configured to pass Cisco Unified Personal Communicator traffic.
•To help prioritize Cisco Unified Personal Communicator traffic by applying quality of service (QoS) policies or routing access control lists (ACLs). For details, see the "Routing Access Control Lists" section and the "Quality of Service" section.
Configuring Network Ports on Client Computers
Windows
When Cisco Unified Personal Communicator on Windows is run for the first time after installation, the firewall asks whether you want to block it or not, and the user must select Unblock.
Mac OS X 10.4.x
The ports used by the application must be manually configured on each system so that the application can function with the system firewall running.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences to open a port range.
Step 2 Click Sharing, and then click the Firewall tab.
Step 3 Click New.
a. For Port Name, choose Other.
b. For TCP Port Number, enter 50000-50063 to select this range.
c. To allow UDP traffic, leave the UDP port number field blank.
If you have blocked UDP traffic and want to allow Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to use UDP, enter 50000-50063, 16384-16424.
d. For Description, enter a name; for example, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator.
e. Click OK.
f. Click Advanced, and verify that Block UDP Traffic is unchecked, and click OK.
Mac OS X 10.5.x
Follow this procedure to passively or actively add Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to the allowed access list and permit communication through the firewall.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences > Security.
Step 2 Click the Firewall tab on the Security window.
Step 3 Select one of these choices:
•Allow All Incoming Connections
In this situation, the firewall is essentially disabled.
•Set Access For Specific Services And Applications
Step 4 If you select Set Access For Specific Services And Applications, add Cisco Unified Personal Communicator by one of these methods:
•Passively
The first time you run Cisco Unified Personal Communicator with the firewall in the Set Access For Specific Services And Applications state and incoming traffic tries to connect with Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, the system prompts you to allow or deny this connection. If you allow the connection, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator is automatically added to the list.
•Actively
Add Cisco Unified Personal Communicator by clicking +. Select Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, add it to the list, and make sure it says Allow Incoming Connections next to the listing.
These settings take effect immediately.
Troubleshooting Tips
If users experience problems with presence, preferred contact, phone mode switching, or instant messages, the firewall might be denying connections despite the previous allowed setting. Restart Cisco Unified Personal Communicator. If this does not resolve the issue, return to the Firewall settings, remove Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, and add it again to the list of applications that allow incoming connections.
Routing Access Control Lists
You must configure switching and routing ACLs so that Cisco Unified Personal Communicator can communicate with servers and endpoints that might be connected to the voice VLAN (the VLAN over which voice traffic is carried).
By using ACLs, you can permit Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to connect to each server through the appropriate protocol through which the application communicates with that server. For example, you should allow UDP traffic in the port range that Cisco Unified Personal Communicator uses for RTP and and then label it with the appropriate QoS actions.
When Cisco Unified Personal Communicator is in soft-phone mode, this configuration enables Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to send RTP media to and to receive RTP messages from other audio and video endpoints across the IP network.
For details about ACLs, how to configure the voice VLAN, and how to configure QoS actions, see the switching and routing documentation for your network products.
Quality of Service
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator uses Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) to mark Layer 3 IP packets. Table 3 is an example of traffic guidelines for Cisco.

Note Microsoft Vista uses a new method for setting QoS parameters that is not compatible with Windows XP. Vista computers do not flag packets correctly with this version but instead set them to zero (0). (CSCsl50789).
For a complete list of the guidelines, see this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_implementation_design_guide_chapter09186a008063744e.html#wp1043799
Typically, networks are configured to strip DSCP markings from computer traffic. Therefore, if you want Cisco Unified Personal Communicator traffic to be marked, you must configure switches and routers to apply DSCP markings to computer traffic based on the port ranges that the application uses. You also must configure destination addresses with which Cisco Unified Personal Communicator communicates.
For details about QoS and DSCP markings, see the switching and routing documentation for your network products.
Network Address Translation
The Cisco Unified Personal Communicator is not compatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). It does not support Simple Traversal of UDP through Network Address Translation (STUN), Traversal using NAT (TURN), or any other NAT-traversal scheme.
To traverse NAT, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator must be behind a virtual private network (VPN) connection.

Supported Audio and Video Codecs
A codec is an implementation of an algorithm capable of performing encoding and decoding on a digital data stream. Codecs are used to encode and decode data (such as sound and video streams) that would otherwise use large amounts of network bandwidth when transmitted or disk space when stored.
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator supports these codecs:
•Audio codecs: G.711a, G.711u, G.729a, Internet Low Bit Rate Codec (iLBC)
•Video codecs: H.263, H.264
–Common Intermediate format (CIF): 352x288 up to 30 frames per second (depends on client computer capabilities)
–Quarter CIF (QCIF): 176x144 at 30 frames per second (depends on client computer capabilities)
–Quarter VGA (QVGA): 320x240 at 30 frames per second (depends on client computer capabilities)
–Quarter Quarter VGA(QQVGA): 160x120at 30 frames per second (depends on client computer capabilities)
Software Interoperability
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, Cisco Unified Video Advantage, and Cisco IP Communicator can co-exist on the same client computer. However, we recommend that you do not simultaneously run these products.
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users can make calls to Cisco Unified Video Advantage endpoints as long as they are in the same Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster. However, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users cannot use Cisco Unified Video Advantage to call another user.

Important Notes
•IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ: During an emergency, softphone technology may not provide the most timely or accurate location data if used for a 911 emergency call. Calls may be misdirected to the wrong emergency response center or the emergency response center may make errors when determining your location. USE A SOFTPHONE ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK DURING AN EMERGENCY. Cisco will not be liable for resulting errors or delays.
•The Cisco VT Camera II operates most effectively with USB version 2.0. While the Cisco VT Camera II will operate with USB version 1.1, we do not recommend this configuration.
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator might hang if the Cisco VT Camera and headset are plugged into a hub that does not have an external power adapter. We recommend that you plug the camera and headset directly into the USB ports on the computer. If there are not enough USB ports on the computer, you can use a hub that is equipped with a external power adapter to provide enough power for multiple USB devices. (CSCsk86697)
•Ensure that all reachability-related messages between Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and Cisco Unified Presence use TCP. In Cisco Unified Presence Administration, choose System > Service Parameters. For the Cisco UP Presence Engine service, specify the Enterprise Presence Server Contact Name by using this format: ipaddress:port;transport=tcp.
For the Cisco UP SIP Proxy service, set Use Transport in Record-Route Header to On.
•Embassy Security Suite software—is shipped with some newer Dell laptops as an optional application and causes Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to crash. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator memory becomes corrupted by an embassy Security Suite DLL (wxvault.dll) at run time. Uninstall the Embassy Security Suite application, and restart Cisco Unified Personal Communicator. (CSCsm17852)
•Tandberg video phones—users might not be able to add video to an audio call in Cisco Unified Personal Communicator if the recipient is using a Tandberg video phone.
Tandberg phones do not have the ability when receiving an audio call to escalate it to video. (CSCsi77912)
•Cyber Acoustics AC850 headset—users will experience low audio volume as compared to Plantronics or Sony USB headsets (CSCsi85963).
Users should use a headset that is supported for use with Cisco Unified Personal Communicator as described in Table 4 and Table 5.
•(In Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Release 1.2(1) and earlier) Microsoft IntelliPoint Mouse software issue—Cisco Unified Personal Communicator freezes when users try to log in.
This problem can result from a known issue with Microsoft IntelliPoint Mouse software, Releases 6.0 and 6.1. You can uninstall the IntelliPoint software or try downgrading to Release 5.x of the IntelliPoint software and then restart your computer before relaunching Cisco Unified Personal Communicator. As a short-term solution, users can try setting Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to automatically log in. (CSCsi73977).
This problem is resolved with Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Release 1.2(2).
•(In Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Release 1.2(1) and earlier) Applications that change or enhance the behavior of the operating system cause Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to be unresponsive or behave strangely.
Applications, such as PowerToys for Windows XP, Hydravision by ATI, or TopDesk by Otaku Software should be uninstalled. (CSCsh96842)
This problem is resolved with Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Release 1.2(2).

Enabling Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to Retrieve the jpegPhoto Attribute
The jpegPhoto attribute is not available in Microsoft Active Directory Global Catalog server, and it is not indexed (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms676813.aspx). If your LDAP configuration uses Global Catalog port 3268, the jpegPhoto is not retrievable.
Procedure
Step 1 Change the configuration in Cisco Unified Presence Administration (Application > Cisco Unified Personal Communicator > LDAP Server) to TCP and port 389.
The photo is retrieved when you log in to Cisco Unified Personal Communicator again.
Step 2 Ensure that a picture is displayed when placing a call to a contact and that the picture is also displayed in the contact details. Make sure you create proper Directory Lookup Dial Rules in Cisco Unified Communications Manager if an application dial rule is configured.
When adding a contact in Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, the directory lookup returns a 10-digit number (for example, 1234567890). If the user places the call by dialing only four digits (for example, 7890), the picture is not displayed because of 7890 does not match for 1234567890. You should:
•Create an outbound rule to remove the area code. The picture is shown in contact details.
•Create an inbound rule for directory lookup to prefix the area code (translate the 4-digit extension number into the 10-digit DID number stored in AD). The picture is shown when placing a call.
Mac Installer Package Names
These are the installer package names for Mac OS:
•CiscoUnifiedPersonalCommunicator-K9_ENU.dmg (US English only)
•CiscoUnifiedPersonalCommunicator-K9_ALL.dmg (US English and localized languages)
For both the US English-only version and the internationalized version for the Mac, Cisco Unified Personal Communicator uses the operating system settings and rules to determine the correct language to present to the user at runtime. You must download and install the international version of Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to have both US English and localized languages. If you download and install the US-only version, only US English is available.
Deploying the Cisco VT Camera Drivers by Using the MSI Package
For languages other than English, if you deploy the Cisco VT Camera driver through the MSI package, you must install a language locale by associating the locale .mst file to the TRANSFORMS parameter. For example, to install the French locale:
msiexec /i CiscoVTCameraDriverSetup.msi /qb+ TRANSFORMS="1036.mst"
Table 14 lists the supported .mst filenames.

Fetching Contact Pictures from a Web Server
You can configure a parameterized URL in the Photo field in the LDAP attribute map in Cisco Unified Presence Administration so that Cisco Unified Personal Communicator can fetch pictures from a web server instead of from the LDAP server.
Before You Begin
•Use %%uid%% as the substitution string.
You can use any LDAP attribute whose query value contains a piece of data that uniquely identifies the photo of the user. For example:
–http://wwwin.cisco.com/photo/std/%%uid%%.jpg
–http://wwwin.cisco.com/photo/std/%%sAMAccountName%%.jpg (for ActiveDirectory)
•The double percent symbols are required, and they must enclose the name of the LDAP attribute to substitute.
Restrictions
•The URL length is limited to 50 characters in Cisco Unified Presence Administration.
•This substitution technique works only if Cisco Unified Personal Communicator can use the results of the query and can insert it into the template specified above to construct a working URL that fetches a JPG photo. If the web server where photos are hosted in a company requires a POST (for example, the name of the user is not in the URL) or uses some other cookie name for the photo (for example, http://www..../1234.jpg) instead of the username, this technique will not work. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator does not support authentication for this query; the photo must be retrievable from the web server without credentials.
Procedure
Step 1 In Cisco Unified Presence Administration, choose Application > Unified Personal Communicator > Settings to display the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Settings window.
Step 2 In the LDAP attribute map, configure a parameterized URL in the Photo field. Use %%uid%% as the substitution string.
Step 3 Click Save.
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator removes the percent symbols and replaces the parameter inside with the results of an LDAP query for the user whose photo is to be resolved.
For example, if a query result contains the attribute "uid" with a value of "johndoe," then a template such as http://mycompany.com/photos/%%uid%%.jpg yields the URL http://mycompany.com/photos/johndoe.jpg. Cisco Unified Personal Communicator attempts to fetch the photo.
Note Because of this new feature to retrieve photos from a web server, the installation guide contains information in the section "Photo Setting Attribute and Format for Windows Active Directory" that is no longer true and should be ignored.
Adding Cisco Unified IP Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database
When you add a Cisco Unified IP Phone to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, you assign a directory number in the Directory Number Configuration window. However, in the Line Settings for All Devices section, the Hold Reversion Ring Duration and the Hold Reversion Notification Interval settings are assignable, but they are not functional for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator.
Updates for the Troubleshooting Guide for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator for Release 1.2(2)
Problem The user can send instant messages to others, but they cannot send instant messages back to this user.
Solution In Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, instant messages and presence information do not work correctly if the local proxy domain is configured in uppercase letters (user@DOMAIN.COM). Cisco Unified Personal Communicator interprets that the incoming instant message or presence notification is for a different contact because the domain in the IM is in lowercase (user@domain.com). The mismatch causes Cisco Unified Personal Communicator to regard the instant message as coming from a different entity for which it sees no presence and presumes to be IM incapable.
The workaround is to change the proxy domain setting in Cisco Unified Presence to lowercase. In Cisco Unified Presence Administration, select System > Service Parameters. Select the server and the SIP Proxy service. Verify that the entry for Proxy Domain is in lowercase letters. If it is in uppercase, make it lowercase, and click OK.
Updates to the User Guide and Online Help for Windows
The following changes apply to the online help in release 1.2(2) and to the user guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6844/products_user_guide_list.html, which applies to both Releases 1.2(2) and 1.2(1).
