C H A P T E R 1Overview of Cisco Business Edition 3000
This chapter contains information on the following topics:
Benefits of Deploying Cisco Business Edition 3000, page 3
Components of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 System, page 3
Common Configuration Concepts in Cisco Business Edition 3000, page 29
Example of Typical Deployment Model, page 43
Benefits of Deploying Cisco Business Edition 3000Cisco Business Edition 3000, a system under the Cisco Unified Communications family of products, providesan IP telephony solution that enables:
Easy setup of deployments
Easy provisioning of users, phones, lines, and phone features
Easy monitoring and troubleshooting
Easy maintenance of your system (simplified backups and simplified restores)
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 software is preinstalled on the server so that you do not have to perform asoftware installation to get your server up and running. Deployment of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server,phones, and the gateway across an IP network provides a distributed, virtual telephony network. Quality ofservice is maintained across constricted WAN links, Internet, or VPN connections.
Your Cisco Business Edition 3000 system is designed to support up to 300 users and 400 phones. Supplementaryand enhanced services such as hold, transfer, forward, conference, multiple-line appearances, speed dials,last-number redial, and other features extend to the phones.
Web-browser interfaces allow configuration of the system. These interfaces also provide access to onlinehelp.

The Cisco Business Edition 3000 ServerCisco Business Edition 3000 is installed for you on a standalone Cisco MCS 7890-C1. When you plug in theserver, the Cisco Business Edition 3000 software is installed and ready for use. Cisco Unified CommunicationsManager, an internal component of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 software that provides call processingfor your system, resides on the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server. Cisco Unity Connection, an internalcomponent of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 software that provides voicemail support for your system, alsoresides on the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server. The Cisco Business Edition 3000 server also contains thedatabase where your configuration records are stored. Internal services that are part of the Cisco BusinessEdition 3000 software allow you to troubleshoot, monitor, and perform maintenance tasks, such as backupsand upgrades.
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 server must use a static IP address.Tip
Because you use web-browsable graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for configuration, monitoring, andtroubleshooting, you need not connect a keyboard and mouse to the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server. Thefollowing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) exist on the server so that you can perform tasks to support yoursystem:
Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard guides you through the deployment steps that arenecessary to complete an initial configuration. From this wizard, an administrator can select the automaticoption that requires data to be uploaded through a Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file. Also, anadministrator can manually configure settings by moving throughout the wizard. The Cisco Business Edition

3000 First Time Setup Wizard supports forward and back capability through Back and Next buttons thatdisplay on every page of the wizard.
If you click Next throughout the wizard without updating any of the settings, your system uses the defaultsettings.
Tip
Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface
After you complete the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard, the next time that you log into the server, you can access the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface. The Cisco BusinessEdition 3000 Administrative Interface allows you to perform the tasks that are described in this chapter. Forexample, in this GUI, you can monitor and troubleshoot the system, add, edit, delete configuration data, suchas phones, users, sites, and so on, and perform maintenance tasks, such as backups, restorations, upgrades,add and view licenses.
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface uses a three-section layout, which consists of atop-level header, navigation menus that display on the left of the page that expand and collapse to displayindividual menu options, and a content section that displays on the right of the page where you can view, add,update, and delete data.
When you click an arrow next to a navigation menu, the navigation section displays the items that belongs tothe navigation menu. To display the contents of an item in the navigation menu, click the item. The contentsof that item display on the right side of the GUI.
Cisco Business Edition 3000 User Preferences Interface
When users that exist in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface log in to the Cisco BusinessEdition 3000 User Preferences Interface, a web page displays where the user can manage user preferencesfor phone features; for example, the user can update Reach Me Anywhere, call forwarding, speed dials, thephone PIN for Cisco Extension Mobility, and the password for the Cisco Business Edition 3000 UserPreferences Interface. In addition, the user can use Cisco Web Dialer to place a call to an extension in thecorporate directory.
Users can manage their user preferences settings for phone features by selecting check boxes and enteringthe appropriate information in the provided fields. Each user accesses his own Cisco Business Edition 3000User Preferences Interface page, and this page is not shared by users.
Most settings that display in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 User Preferences Interface are dynamic; thesettings display only if the user is allowed to use the feature (as configured by you, the system administrator).For example, if you do not enable Reach Me Anywhere in the usage profile that is assigned to the user, theuser cannot see the ReachMeAnywhere setting in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 User Preferences Interface.
USB SupportCisco Business Edition 3000 gives you the option of using USB flash drive or a USB hard disk for the followingfunctionality:
Updating the network parametersYou can copy the configure.xml file to a USB flash drive to updatethe network parameters. The temporary network address allows you to log in to the First Time SetupWizard through a browser. The purpose of the .xls data configuration file is to create temporary networkparameters so that they do not have to connect a laptop to the server using a cable, and access the GUIsusing default addresses.

Cisco-Provided .xls Data Configuration FileThe data configuration file, which is a Cisco-provided .xls spreadsheet template where you can enter themajority of your configuration data, provides the following support:
Allows you to plan your configuration before you begin your first day of deployment.
Allows you to insert users and phones in bulk through the Cisco Business Edition 3000 AdministrativeInterface after your initial deployment.
To quickly import (add) your configuration data to Cisco Business Edition 3000 after you plug in your CiscoBusiness Edition 3000 server, you can enter your data and then upload the Cisco-provided .xls data configurationfile to the server from a USB flash drive or your desktop when you run the Cisco Business Edition 3000 FirstTime Setup Wizard. If you upload the file, you bypass the configuration pages in the Cisco Business Edition3000 First Time Setup Wizard, and the wizard immediately takes you to the Summary page where you canconfirm your data.
After the server restarts at the end of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard, you can loginto the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface and verify that you data got added to CiscoBusiness Edition 3000. If you include user and phone data in the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file,the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface allows you to import the users and phones and theninforms you of import errors for users and phones.
If you do not want to upload the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file when you run the CiscoBusiness Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard, consider entering your data in the file and using it as aguide when you manually enter the information in the GUIs.
Tip
For example, during your initial deployment, you inserted 25 users and phones; now, you must insert 25 moreusers and phones. To accomplish this task, you can modify the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration filethat you used for automatic set up during the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard or youcan obtain a new Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file and add your new users and phones to that newspreadsheet.
Make sure that you have installed the appropriate country-pack .cop files during the automatic setup of theCisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard. From Release 8.6(3) onwards, you can localizedspreadsheets provided your local browser matches the locale of the spreadsheet being uploaded. The localizedspreadsheet contains texts and drop-down fields in the locale that you have chosen from the language drop-downlist box.
Be aware that when you download the localized spreadsheet on the Cisco Business Edition 3000, theoptions in the AdvancedOptions drop-downmenu for various functionalities may remain in English. Onlythe non-technical texts and the non-reserved strings will be translated to the chosen locale. For example,PRI 4ESS, PRI 5E8, SFTP, CentralSite, and Remote Site remains in English.
Note
Cisco recommends that all users set their supported browsers to the desired locale version that is availablein the installed country pack version, so that the text displays as expected.

PhonesCisco Business Edition 3000 supports a variety of phones that are available through Cisco. If the phone modelcan support either SIP or SCCP, Cisco Business Edition 3000 uses SIP with the phone. For example, CiscoUnified IP Phone 7937 supports SCCP.
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 server sends a phone-specific configuration file to each phone in your system.(This file is not the same as the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file that is described in theCisco-Provided .xls Data Configuration File, on page 7.) This configuration file contains data that yourphone requires to work; for example, the configuration file specifies whether the phone can use barge, whetherphones can use phone applications, and what the locale is for the system.
You can configure the phone for Cisco Business Edition 3000 by using the following methods:
Through the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First TimeSetup Wizard (after initial deployment and when server comes up after the reboot)
Through the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file in the Cisco Business Edition 3000AdministrativeInterface (after initial deployment)
UnderUsers/Phones > Phones in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface (after initialdeployment)
Your phone requires an IP address and other network settings to work. For information on how your phoneobtains its IP address and other network settings, refer to your phone administration documentation.
For your phone to work, you must install licenses. You cannot add a phone to the system if the appropriatelicense is not installed and available for use.
All features that are available with Cisco Business Edition 3000 are not supported on all phonemodels. Beforeyou configure your Cisco Business Edition 3000, determine which features are supported on your phone byobtaining the phone administration documentation that is available with your phone and this version of CiscoBusiness Edition 3000.

Attendant ConsoleUsing Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961Cisco Business Edition 3000 supports the Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961 which, can be used as an attendantconsole when a CiscoUnified IP Color Key ExpansionModule (KEM) is attached to the phone. For informationon connecting a KEM, see Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961, 9951, and 9971 Administration Guide for CiscoUnified Communications Manager 8.5 (SIP).
The addition of the KEM expands the number of buttons that are available to the Cisco Unified IP Phone8961 to 41 buttons for use as an attendant console. This provides the user with up to 40 buttons that can beused as speed dials, line buttons, or other features as required.
Button number 1 is automatically designated as a line by the system because button number 1 is used tocorrelate the phone and user when the user extension is assigned to line 1 on the phone. You cannot updateLine Button 1.
Note
The system administrator uses the Usage Profile of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interfaceto set up a usage profile for an attendant console. Using the Phone Button Template, the administrator canconfigure the 40 buttons that are available when a KEM is attached to the Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961.
The Phone Button Template is automatically provisioned with speed dials for the 40 buttons that areavailable. The system administrator can use the Phone Button Template to change the function of the 40buttons that are available.
Note
During migration all speed-dial details are saved and migrated to the new system.Note
For more information about configuring the Usage Profile, see Usage Profiles Settings, on page 315 .
Video SupportCisco Business Edition 3000 supports point-to-point video calls between two video-capable, nonteleworkerphones (for example, Cisco Unified IP Phones 8941 and 8945) within the same site or when calling betweensites that are configured with network interfaces of at least T1 capacity or larger and with video servicesbetween sites enabled.
Point-to-point video is not supported within the teleworker site or between the teleworker site and anyother site that is connected to the teleworker site.
Note
Cisco Business Edition 3000 does not support video conferencing.Note
Administration Guide for Cisco Business Edition 3000, Release 8.6(3) OL-25035-01 9
Components of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 System
-
The number of video calls is expected to be small. Because, bandwidth is usually limited between sites,the system does not reserve video bandwidth for infrequent video calls so that this bandwidth can be usedfor the audio-only calls. Thus, if a large number of video calls are made (relative to the number of videocalls between sites as shown on the sites page), audio and video quality can suffer between the sites. Ifyou encounter poor quality due to a large number of video calls, you may find it necessary to disable videoto and from that particular site.
Caution
The system administrator accesses System Settings > Sites on the Cisco Business Edition 3000 AdministrativeInterface to configure the system for point-to-point video.
For more information, see Sites, on page 32 .
VoicemailCisco Unity Connection, an internal component of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 software that providesvoicemail support for your system, resides on the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server. With Cisco BusinessEdition 3000, users can perform the following tasks:
Call into the voice messaging system
Send voice messages by using the phone keypad

The following options describe the auto attendant support.
Administration Guide for Cisco Business Edition 3000, Release 8.6(3)10 OL-25035-01
Components of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 System
-
Auto attendant uses the same internal components as voicemail. Auto attendant is turned on by default,and you cannot turn it off. The system can handle up to 12 simultaneous calls to voicemail and autoattendant.
Note
The auto attendant uses a single menu for both business and closed hours (default); the auto attendantplays the same greeting and set of prompts during both business and nonbusiness hours. Cisco BusinessEdition 3000 automatically comes with a sample menu that provides the following functionality. If youdo not want to use the sample menu, you can upload another menu that can be used by the system.
Cisco recommends that you install QuickTime Player plugin in your respective browserso that the audio greeting playback controls works as expected. Cisco Business Edition3000 supports QuickTime Player with a minimum version of 6.
Note
The auto attendant plays a greeting announcing that the corporate directory has been reached.
The auto attendant requests that the caller enter the extension on the phone to transfer the call.
If the caller does not enter the extension quickly, the auto attendant requests that the caller enterthe extension again.
The auto attendant transfers the call to the user of the extension.
The auto attendant requests that the caller reenter the extension of the user when the system cannotfind the extension.
The auto attendant plays a farewell prompt.
The auto attendant does not support a different menu for holidays.Tip

DID and ELIN configuration
DIDs for the trunk is configured on the same page as translation patterns, attendant numbers, directory numbers,or hunt lists in order to route incoming calls. Simply placing a DID on a trunk does not allow it to associatewith a particular station within the system. In the case of the All Call Types option, customers are responsiblefor determining how calls on a trunk are routed (for example: attendant number or directory number).
Administration Guide for Cisco Business Edition 3000, Release 8.6(3)18 OL-25035-01
Components of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 System
-
In the case of Emergency Calls Only, a call-back pattern is set up that ensures that incoming calls are routedto the last number that called out on that particular gateway.
If an ELIN is associated with an analog trunk, Cisco recommends that it be configured on that analog trunk.If the ELIN is using a digital gateway (example: T1 or PRI connection), Cisco recommends that it be configuredon the site.
To confirm that the configuration for emergency calling is successful, after the SPA8800 is configured, go tothe site page and confirm that the DID for that trunk is listed as an ELIN. If it is not listed as an ELIN, checkthe other sites to see if it appears on one of them, it may have been set up on the wrong site. If this happens,check the IP address and subnet settings in Cisco Business Edition 3000 to ensure that the gateway is registeringat the correct site.
The manner in which a particular SPA8800 is associated with a site is based on the IP address and thesubnets that have been set up for that site.

SIP TrunkingIn the Cisco Business Edition 3000, the SIP trunk serves as a connection to the SIP service provider networkfor PSTN connectivity. To interact with the SIP trunk connection, the Cisco Business Edition 3000 requiresSBE (Session Border Elements) to provide security, topology hiding, and ALG (Application Level Gateway)functionalities.
To achieve SIP trunking, use the following operations:
Provision Cisco Business Edition 3000 to interact with the SBE. You can achieve this by the installationof Connection Packs, and by adding the SIP trunk connection through Cisco Business Edition 3000Administrative Interface.
For information on connection packs, see Connection Pack, on page 24.
Provision SBE to interact with Cisco Business Edition 3000. You can achieve this using the configurationsprovided by the service provider.
Provision SBE to interact with the service provider. You can manage this using the service provider.
The following list describes the different types of SIP trunk connections that are used with Cisco BusinessEdition 3000:
Standard Cisco SIP trunk connection - SIP trunk is connected to the service provider through the CiscoUnified Border Element (CUBE) on Cisco ISR8xx Series (Integrated Services Router). The parameterson the Cisco Business Edition 3000 for the SIP trunk connection are preconfigured to support generalSIP trunk functionalities.
Cisco TAC provides support for Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) only. For othersessions, contact your service providers.
Note
Service Provider SIP trunk connection - SIP trunk is connected to the service provider through otherSBEs. The parameters of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 SIP trunk connection is preconfigured basedon the inter-operational tests with specific service provider. The service provider for provisioning isavailable after the installation of the SIP trunk connection pack that is customized for the service provider.
If the Cisco Business Edition 3000 deployment requires SIP trunk connection in your site, deploy an SBE inthe site to route PSTN calls. This SIP trunk connection can also be used to route the PSTN calls from othersites.
Cisco Business Edition 3000 also supports multiple SIP trunks to the service provider through a single ormultiple session border elements.
If a remote site needs to deploy a SIP trunk connection to its local SIP service provider, deploy a sessionborder element on the remote site, rather than using the SIP trunk on the central site. The SIP trunkconfigured on the central site can also be used.

Raw DTMF
RSVP
Cisco Business Edition 3000 does not support the following functionalities on SIP trunk:
pTime - This media-based parameter cannot be configured on Cisco Business Edition 3000. However,a fixed value will be used.
DTMF - The PSTN calls with SIP trunk connection encountering DTMF incompatibility requires anMTP to normalize the DTMF. As Cisco Business Edition 3000 does not support MTP, the call fails.
Early media on 180 - For SIP trunk connections, Cisco Business Edition 3000 signals calling phone toplay local ringback as it does not receive SDP in the 180 response. However, the system receives asSDP in the 183 response.
E1 R2 ConnectionsR2 signaling is a Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) system developed in the 1960s that is still in use todayin Europe, Latin America, Australia, and Asia. R2 signaling exists in several country versions or variants inan international version called Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT-R2).The E1 R2 signaling is an international signaling standard that is common to channelized E1 networks.
In the Cisco Business Edition 3000, R2 signaling serves as a connection to the E1 interface for PSTNconnectivity. This connection is achieved by the installation of the country packs, and adding the E1 R2connection through Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface.
You can set up the E1 R2 connection only if you have installed the Brazil, Mexico, or Saudi Arabia countrypack. The parameters of the E1 R2 interface may vary from one country to another and may also vary fromone service provider to another. You must install the country pack during First Time Setup (FTS) or at a laterstage import the COP file before you choose the provider for an E1 R2 PSTN connection.
To add, edit, or delete E1 R2 connections, sign in to Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface(Connections > PSTN Connections).
Connection PackThe provisioning of SIP trunks to SBE from Cisco Business Edition 3000 is supported through the installationof connection packs. The connection pack is a Cisco Options Package (COP) file signed by Cisco. The mainadvantage of using the connection pack is that it allows quick and easy configuration of the SIP Trunk withminimal or no errors.
The connection pack is bundled with the Provider XML file, and Logical Unit Application (LUA) scriptsnecessary for the operation of SIP Trunks.
Provider XML - A configuration file detailing the connection definition for a particular SIP trunk onthe Cisco Business Edition 3000.
The provider XML file controls the default values and the display of Administrative Interface elementsfor PSTN Connection configurations for provisioning the SIP trunk.
LUA script - (Optional) A mechanism supports transparency and normalization of SIP messages forinteracting with the service provider.
For the service provider SIP trunk connection, the provider XML is defined and bundled with the connectionpack. The connection pack must be installed before provisioning the service provider SIP trunk.

The mechanism to upgrade the connection pack is through theMaintenance > Upgrade page on the CiscoBusiness Edition 3000 Administrative Interface. For more information, see Installing the Connection PackFile, on page 25.
The connection pack is used to upgrade the following SIP trunk connections:
Cisco Standard SIP Connection - The connection pack bundles the provider XML for configuring theSIP trunks using CUBE on Cisco ISR8xx as the service provider.
You can edit the parameters through the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface.
Service Provider SIP Connection - The connection pack bundles the provider XML for configuring theSIP trunks using other service providers. This ensures that the Cisco Business Edition 3000 SIP trunkinterworks with the service provider through SBEs (including third-party session border elements). Thenew parameter definitions are effective for the SIP trunks using service provider SIP Connection.
After the installation of a connection pack for a service provider, create SIP trunk using the service provider.The SIP parameters of the SIP trunk connection are preconfigured with the values in the connection packautomatically.When a SIP trunk connection is created, a minimal set of parameters, as designed by the serviceprovider, is editable through the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface (PSTN Connections> Add PSTN Connection > Connection Settings > Configure Connection Settings).
The parameters in the SIP trunk connection pack are preconfigured based on the inter-operability testsbetween the Cisco Business Edition 3000 SIP trunk and the service provider. Therefore, the SIP trunkthat is created with the service provider connection type will be configured correctly to inter-operate withthe service provider.
Note
When you edit a SIP trunk connection, a minimal set of parameters, as designed by the service provider, iseditable through the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface (PSTNConnections >Add PSTNConnection >Connection Settings >Configure Connection Settings). For more information, see ConnectionType: SIP Trunk, on page 257.
Versioning of the Connection Pack file
The naming convention of the connection pack is based on the Cisco Business Edition 3000 version and theservice provider version.

2 ValidationThe Cisco Business Edition 3000 validates the connection pack and the version based on thechecksum before upgrade.
3 InstallationThe connection pack is installed on the Cisco Business Edition 3000. A progress bar depictsthe status of the upgrade. You cannot cancel the upgrade process after the installation process is initiated.
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface notifies the status of installation as a progress bar.
If there are PSTN connections using the connection pack that is upgraded, the Administrative Interface notifiesthat the connection will be reset and all the calls associated with SIP trunk using that connection pack aredropped. The Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface will request confirmation. If you chooseto cancel, the installation process will be terminated and there will be no impact on the current connectionand service provider. If you confirm to upgrade, the upgrade process begins.
After you upgrade the connection pack successfully, a confirmation message appears indicating that theconnection pack was successfully installed. The connection pack upgrade process takes 2 to 7 minutes if youconfirm to upgrade, and 2 to 4 minutes if you choose to cancel the upgrade.
The advance settings of the SIP trunk connections will be updated with the new set of parameters through theconnection pack file. After the connection pack upgrade is complete, the SIP trunk connection will be resetand active calls will be dropped.
Upgrade failure handling
If the upgrade fails during validation (for example, if you have a corrupt .cop.sgn file) or installation (forexample, if you have an invalid provider XML file), the upgrading process stops and the AdministrativeInterface displays a message to reboot the system. It is mandatory to reboot the system if this error isencountered. For more information, see Troubleshooting Issues, on page 363.
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 allows you to revert to the previous version of the connection pack. Youcan achieve this by upgrading the system using the connection pack of the desired version.
Impact during Cisco Business Edition 3000 Upgrade
The SIP trunk connection will be reset while the Cisco Business Edition 3000 is upgrading. All the activecalls will be dropped.
The upgrading of the new Cisco Business Edition 3000 may result in change of various parameters on theAdministrative Interface. Some parameters can be removed and new parameters may be introduced. Theuser-configured SIP trunk parameter settings will be saved after upgrade also.
Best Practices for Using DHCP for Acquiring IP AddressesThis document does not provide detailed information on DHCP; you should have a thorough understandingof DHCP before you use it with your Cisco Business Edition 3000 system. Typically, the IT support staff forthe company or the Internet service provider handles your DHCP setup. DHCP may be run on a computer oron a router. Before you implement DHCP with Cisco Business Edition 3000, consider the following bestpractices:
Use custom option 150 or option 66.
You can use a DHCP server to issue IP addresses to the phones.
If DHCP is enabled on a phone, which is the default for the phone, DHCP automatically assigns an IPaddress to the phone after you connect it to the network. The DHCP server directs the phone to the CiscoBusiness Edition 3000 server, which serves a phone-specific configuration file to the phone.
Administration Guide for Cisco Business Edition 3000, Release 8.6(3)26 OL-25035-01
Components of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 System

If DHCP is not enabled on a phone, you must manually assign an IP address to the phone and configurethe IP address or the hostname of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server locally on the phone (configureit under the TFTP server option on the phone).
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 server must use a static IP address that you assign to it. If you use aDHCP server to issue IP addresses to computers and other network devices, make sure that the IP addressfor the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server is not in the active range of IP addresses on the DHCP server.Make sure that you configure your DHCP server so that it does not hand out the IP address for the CiscoBusiness Edition 3000 server to a different network device.
Cisco strongly recommends that you assign a static IP address to the gateway. If you use a DHCP serverto issue IP addresses to computers and other network devices, make sure that the IP address for thegateway is not in the active range of IP addresses on the DHCP server. Make sure that you configureyour DHCP server so that it does not hand out the IP address for the gateway to a different networkdevice.
If DHCP is enabled on a gateway, DHCP automatically assigns an IP address to the gateway after youconnect it to the network.
Before you configure your sites and DHCP, Cisco strongly recommends that you determine the numberof sites that you need and determine how many phones will be located at each site. Configure yourDHCP server so that it correctly distributes the IP addresses to the phones at the various sites.
For more information, see the following:
Phone administration documentation that supports your phone model
Sites, on page 32 (for subnet and subnet mask information for sites)
IP AddressingThe Cisco MCS7890-C1 uses two external IP addresses. The main IP address is the published IP address onthe MCS7890-C1 device. This is the system IP address of the Cisco Business Edition 3000. This IP addressis set by your administrator during the First Time Setup of Cisco Business Edition 3000. You can configurethis IP address using DHCP or static. The second IP address is the IP address of the media resource used fortranscoding and conferencing. Cisco recommends that the media resource IP address be static and unique forMCS7890-C1.
For Cisco ISR2901 gateway, the media resource IP address is the same as the ISR2901 gateway IP address.Note
DNS and Hostname ResolutionThis document does not provide detailed information on DNS. You should have a thorough understanding ofDNS before you use it with your Cisco Business Edition 3000 system. DNS is optional; you do not have touse a DNS server unless you plan to resolve hostnames for your Cisco Business Edition 3000 server or gateway.If you include a hostname for the server or gateway on the Network or Gateway page and you must use DNS,make sure that you map the hostname(s) to the IP address(es) on the DNS server for both forward and reverseDNS resolution. Cisco recommends that you perform this task before you add or edit the hostname in theCisco Business Edition 3000 GUIs.
The current version of the Cisco Business Edition 3000 does not require a DNS server; however, it is configuredfor future requirements such as SIP trunks.
