The following lab guide offers step-by-step instructions on how to configure the Unified

Communications 500 System (UC500) using a base topology.

The different tasks are collaborative and assume that several PODs have been set up simultaneously.

However, some exercises can still be completed individually.

Each lab section follows a logical sequence, but is independent from the others, with the exception of

Lab 1 (Plug and Play), which is a prerequisite for the successful completion of the subsequent exercises.

Here is a short description of each lab:

Lab 1 – Plug and Play: Learn how the UC500 implements automatic phone registration and

configuration.

Lab 2 – PBX Mode: Learn how to implement PBX mode and what features are available for it.

Lab 3 – Auto Attendant: Learn how the Cisco Unity Express (CUE) Automatic Attendant is

configured.

Lab 4 – Advance Features: Learn how to configure Conferencing, Intercom, Hunt Groups, etc.

Lab 5 – VoiceView Express and IMAP: Learn how to integrate the UC500 with an email client using

IMAP and how to configure VoiceView Express, for checking voicemail using the IP Phone menus.

Lab 6 – Basic Automatic Call Distribution: Learn how to implement Call Center features using B-

ACD Scripts.

Lab 7A – Security: Firewall configuration for UC500

Lab 7B – Wireless Mobile Voice: Deploying the 792X Wi-Fi IP Phone

Lab 7C – Wireless Voice: Deploying the SPA525 IP Phone in wireless mode and adding AP521

Access Point.

Labs 8A and 8B cover Multisite Data using IPsec and multisite voice (no IPsec)

Appendixes A, B, C, D, E and F cover miscellaneous voice and data features, as well as system

operation. Lab Topology.

Lab Overview

Be sure to turn off your wireless adaptor before completing the labs to avoid routing issues. An

Ethernet connection from your laptop to the UC500 / lab network should be the only network

connection.

In the lab documents, ‘xx’ refers to your Pod number. For example, if you are seated at POD01, you

would replace all instances of ‘xx’ in the lab documents with ‘01’.

Several of the labs will require you to partner with another pod to demonstrate certain features of the

system. This is to emulate an analog PSTN connection for the lab environment. Normally, you would

plug trunks from the PSTN into the FXO or ISDN ports and analog devices (such as fax machines) into

the FXS ports. Please be sure and coordinate with the team seated at your ‘buddy’ pod so that you are

both working on roughly the same portion of a lab and can complete the verification steps successfully.

One of the labs requires an analog phone for completion. There is only a single analog phone for each

pair of Pods. Please share the phone between yourselves and your ‘buddy’ pod.

There are two Ethernet cables at each pod. These are both ‘broadband internet’ connections (emulating

the internet). One of these is for the UC500 WAN port, the other is used during the VPN lab to connect

your laptop. Either cable will work for either connection – there is no difference between them.

All of the software needed on your laptops to complete the lab is available from the lab facilitator.

Please copy all of this software to your hard drive before the lab begins so you will have it when needed.

This software will include the Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA), Cisco IP Communicator (CIPC),

Cisco VPN Client and the new auto attendant (AA) script.

Unless otherwise noted, it is necessary to restore the UC500 to factory default condition after each lab

section. Instructions for how to do this are included in Appendix A.

Please read items in RED very closely. These are notes / tips that will make the lab go much more

smoothly.

LAB 1: Plug & Play

Introduction:

UC520 is a unified communications appliance that is designed to be deployed quickly and easy. To help

facilitate this, the system automatically detects phones as they are connected and configures them with

basic default settings that allow calls to be made without intervention. For instance, if a 7960G phone is

plugged in, the system detects the type of the phone and auto configures a useable extension on the first

line button.

Objective:

The objective of the “PLUG & PLAY” lab is to show the ease of install of the UC520 system. At the

completion of this lab, all IP phones (including the CIPC softphone) and analog phones on the UC520

should get dial tone and be able to call each other. You should be able to call out as well if a PSTN

connection is available via a FXO or ISDN lines.

Topology:

Use the following topology

Setup steps:

Be sure to turn off your wireless adaptor before completing the labs to avoid routing issues.

The only network connection from your laptop should be to the UC500 / lab network.

1. Be sure your UC500 system is powered up, then plug one of the “Internet” cables into the WAN

port.

2. Plug in the 7970 and 524 phones in to the UC520 Power Over Ethernet (POE) ports at each POD

using the Ethernet cables provided.

3. Connect your laptop to the back of an IP phone or to a POE port on the UC500. Verify that you

get an IP address assigned to the laptop.

4. After both 7970 and 524 IP Phones have registered to the UC500, install and launch Cisco IP

Communicator (CIPC) SoftPhone on your laptop.

a. After launching CIPC, a Preferences Screen will appear (Right click on the CIPC to view

preferences if it does not appear). Now configure specific TFTP server on the network

tab as the UC520 IP address (192.168.10.1).

Verify steps:

1. Ensure that all the phones register to the UC520 and receive an extension. Verify the extensions

as 201, 202 and 203 (CIPC)

2. Place a call between 201 & 202 – answer the call, place on HOLD and check if the Music on

Hold (MOH) works.

3. Place a call between 201 and CIPC (x203). Answer the call and place on hold on the IP

Communicator and note that the music plays to the IP phone. Take the call off hold and place it

on hold on the IP phone. Note that the IP Communicator only hears a hold tone and not the

MoH source.

NOTE: It is NOT necessary to restore the system to factory defaults at the end of

this lab.

LAB 2: PBX, Voicemail & DialPlan

Introduction:

The UC520 supports two voice system configuration types – PBX type and Keysystem type. LAB2

focuses on the PBX system configuration. Keysystem configuration is included as an addendum in

Appendix B. Outbound calls are routed through the SIP and/or PSTN line based on the dialplan that is

configured. In addition to this, local extensions have voicemail boxes where callers can leave messages.

A typical PBX system involves an Auto Attendant that handles incoming calls from a PSTN line (eg.

Analog FXO or ISDN trunks) and transfers the caller to one of the internal extensions. Auto Attendant

configuration is covered in Lab xx.

Objective:

The main objective of this lab is to configure the basic PBX system, voicemail and outbound dialplan.

These features will be configured using Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA). After completion of this

lab – you will be able to:

a) setup the SBCS system as a PBX

b) place calls between extensions

c) setup a SIP Trunk on the UC520 to a Service Provider (Lab Simulation)

d) place calls in & out to the PSTN via the SIP trunk.

Topology:

Setup steps:

1. Install Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA) on your laptop.

2. Connect your laptop to one of the UC520 Ethernet ports or the Ethernet connection on the back of an

IP phone (if not already connected) & launch CCA.

3. When you launch CCA, a Connect window will appear. Click on “Create community” and click on

OK button.

4. Now you should see a dialog as below:

oCreate a community UC520-xx. For the Company name, use POD-xx (where ‘xx’ is your Pod #)

oChoose discover option as “a single device by IP address” and use IP address 192.168.10.1

oClick Start - now you should get a “Security Certificate Alert”, click ‘Always’.

oEnter username/password as cisco/cisco.

oOnce discovery is complete (this may take up to a minute) click ‘OK’ to view the topology. The

progress for discovery can be seen at the bottom of the screen.

oCheck the topology to ensure all the phones show up. You may or may not see the CIPC device,

depending on where your laptop is plugged in. If it is plugged into a POE port of the UC520, the

CIPC will appear. If the laptop is plugged into the back of an IP phone, the CIPC will not appear.

oClick on ‘Configure -> Telephony -> Voice’ on the side bar or click the ‘Phone’ icon on the top

menu bar. In the next steps, we will configure the various tabs – “System”, “Voicemail”, “SIP

Trunk”, “Dial Plan” and “Users”.

NOTE: It may take up to 60 seconds for CCA to load voice data. If

you see the window below, please follow the instructions in the
