5.3.1. Add Parameters to Configuration Files
The configuration files should be modified to support two functions relative to Communication
Manager /Outboard Proxy SIP: Public extension display (see Section 5.1.5) and voice message
access.
The Cisco 7940/7960 phone will normally display the “private” extension (User ID) used to
register to the Converged Communications Server. The desired display is the “public” Outboard
Proxy SIP extension. To do this, the shortname parameter must be added to the phone-specific
configuration file for each phone and set to the public extension for that line appearance. In the
sample configuration, the parameter for line appearance one would be:
line1_shortname: “24071”
This will cause 24071 to be displayed on the phone even though 23071 is used to register with
Converged Communications Server.
Even though MWI is not supported, the messages button can be programmed to call the
extension corresponding to Avaya voice messaging. This can be accomplished by setting a
parameter in the default configuration file, and will be apply to all phones in the system.
The parameter to be added is:
messages_uri: 25000
In the sample configuration, the AUDIX hunt group on the S8300/G700 has extension 25000.
5.3.2. Define Outboard Proxy SIP Speed Dial Buttons
Access to Outboard Proxy SIP features can be streamlined by using free line appearance buttons
on the telephone for speed dialing. Commonly used FNEs can be defined on these buttons, in
many cases facilitating one-button dialing. Since the Cisco 7960 SIP telephone has six line
appearances, it is preferred over the 7940, which has two. The following steps describe how to
configure the 7960 set with Outboard Proxy SIP speed dial buttons. They also apply to the 7940,
although only one speed dial button is available in this case. General configuration information
can be found in Reference [3].
Note: The following configuration must be done at the telephone, and cannot be centrally
defined in configuration files.
