Chap 6 - Configuring Cisco Unified CME Voice Productivity - From Jeremy Cioara book.
I am glad today because, I am almost done with this chapter. It is amazing.
configuring directory, call forwarding, call transfer, call park, call pickup, intercom, pagin, after-hours call blocking,CRS and call accounting.
I just discover that at my job, group pickup is not configured and so far I don't see intercom between my boss and his assistant.
I love group pickup and intercom - my daughter is now able to call me - I setup her phone (7941) as the assistant and I am the manager on my CIPC phone.
I think I will spend the first day of 2009 playing again with these features.
Configuring these feature on the cme is like playing guitar hero on your ps3. It make me feel so good.
It is good to be doing what you love to do.

Journey to CCNA VOICE - Cisco IP phones are getting wrong time and date
I was ready to screen record the installation of my CME and dhcp today. But, something weird happen.
All my 3 ephones (CIPC, 7941, 7911) are getting the wrong time today. The time was ok yesterday. I was able to call each phone without problem.
I just fixed it - So, I thought it will be nice to post how I fixed it:
CISCO Phones are getting wrong time and date.
1- I checked the cme. It is getting the right time from the ntp server and the timezone is correct.
2- I remove the loads command from the telephony services
conf t
telephony-service
no loads 7941 SCCP41.8-3-3S
no loads 7911 SCPP11.8-3-3S
3- and then load it again
loads 7941 SCCP41.8-3-3S
loads 7911 SCPP11.8-3-3S
4- restart all system
from telephony-service, type restart all

How to reset your cisco phone 7941g and 7911
I- To perform a basic reset of your cisco phone (7941g and 7911) - those two are the one I am using in my lab.
type on the phone :
1- From the Settings menu, PRESS **# ( to unlock the menu)
2-PRESS more button
3-PRESS erase button
II- To perform a FACTORY RESET
Step 1 Unplug the power cable from the phone and then plug it back in.
The phone begins its power up cycle.
Step 2 While the phone is powering up, and before the Speaker button flashes on and off,
press and hold #.
Continue to hold # until each line button flashes on and off in sequence in amber.
Step 3 Release # and press 123456789*0#.
You can press a key twice in a row, but if you press the keys out of sequence, the factory reset will not take place.
After you press these keys, the line buttons on the phone flash red and the phone goes through the factory reset process.
Do not power down the phone until it completes the factory reset process and the main screen appears.

journey to CCNA VOICE - 2 - building the home lab
Remember my goal is to build the jeremy cioara home lab.
I bought the CISCO 2801 on craigslist for $900.00 from MARK in California. The cisco 2801 will be my CME - (Cisco CallManager Express).
I will be using my old cisco 2610 as DHCP server.
My friend Heath has donated 2 phones ( a cisco 7941G and cisco 7911). I will be using also the CISCO CIPC installed on my laptop as my 3rd phone.
I will be using the cisco switch 2950 as switchA (see cioara book - page 76).
so, stay tune for the configuration.
Also, I ordered from ebay for $70.00 the Cisco Switch 3524 (POE)- But I am sending the unit back for reimbursement. This switch doesn't work. so, meanwhile, I am going to use my cisco ASA 5505 that has 2 poe ports to connect both phones.
So, Right now, My lab will be little be different from CIOARA lab until I get the CISCO SWITCH 3524.
Here is my top.
here is the spec of the router :

Journey to CCNA voice - 1
I am going to blog my journey to CCNA VOICE. I believe I can pass this exam my march 2009.
Background: I am a MCSA, CCNA (routing and switching) and I have no experience with VOICE OR TELECOM).
Study plan :
I am going to be using JEREMY CIOARA, CCIE # 11727 as my lead instructor. I bought his VIDEO BOOTCAMP training cd (CBTNUGGETS) and his book (CCNA VOICE, THE OFFICIAL exam certification guide).
I am also going to build a VOICE HOME LAB identical to the one JEREMY use in the bootcamp training (see page 63 in his book)
So, please stay tune.

How to configure the ASA 5500 for port forwarding
I have the CISCO ASA 5505 with the base license and I would like to telnet to my access-server from starbuxx.
Yes, I know, I should ssh or vpn to the access-server instead of use the insecure telnet. But I have to study for my CCNA VOICE today and accessing my VOICE LAB is more important than security.
I am going to setup the VPN server this weekend and post the result.
My access-server IP address is : 192.168.3.201 and is located in the inside vlan 2.
Here are the command I entered to have access to telnet to my internal access-server.
static (inside,outside) tcp interface telnet 192.168.3.201 telnet netmask 255.255.255.255
access-list outside_access_in extended permit tcp any any eq telnet
access-group outside_access_in in interface outside
Now, I can use putty to telnet to my access-server.
BRAVO to me.
Please contact me if you have any problem with port forwarding with cisco ASA .
