Hi Guys
this blog post is mostly for me, its a website I found that (finally) lists the bloody headsets that DON'T require Cisco Cables from Plantronics, so are fully compatible, I can never find this info when I need it, so I am using my blog as a bookmark repository, deal with it :p

Cisco 7926G Phones come with built in barcode scanner
This is really for my own reference guys, but Cisco 7926G wireless IP phones come with a buil tin bar-code scanner! Pretty cool!

Finally! Cisco Mobile 8.1 Supports CME 8.6
Hi Guys
So, CME 8.6 (available with IOS 15.1(4)M) finally supports Cisco Mobile (That's the Cisco Mobile app for your Iphone!)
It has some awesome features that I will get into in another blog post, but for now let's just concentrate on getting it registered.
The first step is to make sure your running the IOS I listed above, this is required to use Cisco Mobile 8.1 (although some people have had success getting it working on older IOS, your milage may vary)
Anyway, once you have established that the next thing you need to know is that Cisco Mobile uses SIP to communicate, setting up SIP registration your CME is beyond the scope of this document, but just to make things easier for everyone I have posted a snippet of the configuration I use at home that work's just fine for me:
PeterCCIE18371#show run | sect voice register global
voice register global
mode cme
source-address 10.0.0.3 port 5060
max-dn 10
max-pool 10
authenticate register
hold-alert
tftp-path flash:
!
Now, the next step is you need to actually create a DN and a pool for the device, here is what I have configured:
voice register dn 1
number 3009
pickup-group 1
name Peter
!
Then, you setup a pool:
voice register pool 10
registration-timer max 720 min 660
id mac 0026.4ABC.C138
session-transport tcp
type CiscoMobile-iOS
number 1 dn 1
username 3009 password 3009
!
that's a lot of configuration, lets examine it line by line:
First, you must put in the registration times i have shown here so that the app stays registered in the background.
The next step is the ID Mac, this does not actually have to be the MAC address of your iphone, it can be anything really as long as it is not in use elsewhere.
next you specify the type, CiscoMobile-iOS
then, number 1 dn 1 (which links to voice register dn 1 which we specified previously)
finally, you must configure a username and password.
Once this is all done, go into voice register global and generate the configuration file (SEPXXXXXXXX.cnf.XML where XXXX is your MAC address you specified)
voice register global
create profile
now the only configuration left is on the actual client itself, and it is pretty easy!
Open Cisco Mobile 8.1 (it's available in the app store, confusingly there are two versions, Cisco Mobile 8.1 and 8.0, and even Cisco Mobile Communicator which is used with mobility advantage and is not what we are working with here today)
So as you can see, you just enter in your Username and Password you configured previously, the Device ID you configured previously and Away you go!
The cool thing is, it even works with background Apps and interrupts when it needs to, Here's a screenshot:
