I like to get the station configured in CUCM before I start playing around with the client. The install is pretty straight forward and relatively quick. I suspect that procedures for 6.0 to 7.1 would be near identical.įirst, you will need to download the X-Lite application here. From looking at some of the examples on line (dating back to CUCM 5.0), the basic configuration we are going to discuss is pretty applicable to all CUCM appliance models. I like X-Lite, so I am using it as the example.įor my testing I used CUCM 7.0-1 (that is 7.1(3b)SU1 for the uninitiated). But, I hope to provide some examples to give you a better feel for how to add 3rd Party SIP endpoints to the CUCM. Every one of us has a slightly different environment that we operate in. I ask you, what am I supposed to do with that if I try to deploy this application in the real world? Now, I am not saying that I am going to cover all bases adequately in this example. The examples would have things like this: Second, the resources I have found on-line, including CouterPath’s own write up (which is a bit dated) and an article on Cisco’s “community” collaboration site, were just too light on details.

X-Lite seemed like a reasonable choice as it was free and apparently pretty popular. Please also have the NextLevel employee you are working with verify that X-Lite is registered.First, I just wanted to add some 3rd party SIP phones to CUCM to start testing feature behaviors.
