Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 8.0

®
Cisco Unified Communications Solutions unify voice, video, data, and mobile applications on fixed and
mobile networks, enabling easy collaboration every time from any workspace.

Product Overview
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) is the powerful call-processing component of the Cisco Unified
Communications Solution. It is a scalable, distributable, and highly available enterprise IP telephony call-processing
solution.

New with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 8.0

Feature Highlights and Benefits
As your needs evolve, Cisco Unified Communications Manager continues to evolve to meet those needs. Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Version 8.0 aims to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) for organizations and
improve the communications experience for end users as well as system administrators. Some of the important
features of the recent release follow:

● Cisco Intercompany Media Engine (IME): Cisco Intercompany Media Engine allows intercompany, boundary-
less communications among business partners and customers. It allows enterprise video telephony and high-
fidelity wideband audio between companies. It is easy to use because it self-learns IP routes to business
partners. When making Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) calls to business partners, you have the same
experience as you do within your own company. It enables sharing of innovative collaboration capabilities and
applications between partners. Cisco Intercompany Media Engine is a new Cisco Voice Application and is
installed in a separate server from Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Cisco Unified Communications
Manager works with the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine and the adaptive security appliance (ASA) to
provide business-to-business connectivity.
● Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session Management Edition: Cisco Unified Communications
Manager added Session Management support in Verion 7.1(3). Cisco Unified Communications Session
Management Edition support is continued and enhanced in Version 8.0 with features such as Cisco
Intercompany Media Engine and Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP). Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Session Management Edition allows for centralized SIP trunking and routing to help simplify
complex networks and reduce costs by consolidating trunking. Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Session Management Edition can also aggregrate voice applications and policy control.
● Cisco Service Advertisement Framework – Call Control Discovery: This network-based, scalable, bandwidth-
efficient, real-time approach to service advertisement and discovery allows Cisco Unified Communications
Manager to advertise directory number ranges that it owns and discover and dynamically create routes for
other Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters. It greatly reduces dial-plan configuration for complex
unified communications deployments.
● Cisco Unified IP Phones 6900, 8900, and 9900 model phone support: Cisco Unified Communications
Manager 7.1(3) and 8.0 and later support the Cisco Unified IP Phones 8900 and 9900 Series models. Version
8.0 adds support for the universal-serial-bus (USB) video camera and Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 and 6911
models.

● Extension Mobility Cross Cluster (EMCC): Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0 adds support for
EMCC, which allows you to cross cluster boundaries but still log into your Extension Mobilty profile. EMCC is
designed so that you get nearly the same experience whether or not you are in your home cluster.
● RSVP SIP preconditions: Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0 enhances RSVP to allow calls that
cross cluster boundaries or terminate in other call control clusters to be able to use RSVP agents to provide
end-to-end dynamic Call Admission Control (CAC) even for calls to phones outside the cluster.
● Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) support: Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0(2) can run on
VMware on Cisco UCS B200 M1 and UCS C210 M1 servers. This setup reduces server count and lets
enterprises deploy Cisco Unified Communications Manager in a data center on a platform that reduces server
operating costs.
● Analysis Manager: Analysis Manager is a feature of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Real-Time
Monitoring Tool (RTMT) that allows RTMT to provide solution-level diagnostic features for other Cisco Unified
Communications applications, including Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal, Cisco Unified Intelligent
®
Contact Management Enterprise, Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, Cisco IOS Gateway devices and
Cisco IOS Access Control System (ACS), Cisco Unified Expert Advisor, and Cisco Unified Contact Center
Enterprise.

The appliance model provides a platform for call processing with the software preloaded on a Cisco MCS platform;
the software is optionally available as a DVD kit for equivalent customer-provided servers. The appliance comes with
a single firmware image that includes the underlying operating system as well as the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager application. The appliance is accessed through a GUI, and a command-line interface (CLI) has been added
to facilitate diagnostics and basic system management, such as the starting or stopping of services and rebooting of
the appliance. No access to the underlying operating system is necessary. All system management activities—for
example, disk-space monitoring, system monitoring, and upgrades—are controlled through the GUI. Because
onboard agents are no longer supported on the appliance, all Cisco Unified Communications Manager management
interfaces are enhanced to allow tight integration with third-party applications.

Starting with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0(2), Cisco will support Cisco Unified Communications
Manager running on VMware vSphere 4 (ESXi 4.0). This support will allow Cisco UCM to run on the Cisco Unified
Computing System platform. Thus Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrators will have more flexibility in
how and where they implement Cisco Unified Communications Manager to meet the needs of their enterprise. Initial
support will be on the Cisco UCS B200 M1 and UCS C210 M1 platforms.

Additionally, the SNMP interface has added an overall syslog performance MIB. The serviceability interface has
instrumented, appliance-specific counters. The programming interface has added the capability to run insert,
update, and delete database commands. To further enhance security, Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager comes preloaded on the appliance.

call quality, and a CDR search mechanism. The tool also provides limited database administration—for
example, deletion of records based on database size.
● The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) allows administrators to perform
bulk insert, delete, and update operations for devices and users. The application was enhanced in Version 6
to provide export and import of database information, including calling search space, device pool, and Cisco
Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST). Version 8.0 further enhances the solution by adding many other
features, among them hunt and pilot lists, CTI route groups, transformation patterns, presence groups,
message waiting, and mobility information.
● The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Attendant Console application is no longer bundled nor
supported with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
● The Cisco Unified Communications Manager RTMT monitors real-time behavior of the components in a Cisco
Unified Communications Manager cluster. With Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0, RTMT functions
include Analysis Manager, which allows diagnostic support of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco
Unified Communications Manager – Business Edition, Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal, Cisco Unified
Intelligent Contact Management Enterprise, Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, Cisco IOS Gateway
devices and Cisco IOS ACS, Cisco Unified Expert Advisor, and Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager RTMT uses HTTP and TCP to monitor device status, system
performance, device discovery, and CTI applications. It also provides trace and log file-management
capabilities, including download scheduling of all trace and log files, user-defined events in trace and log files,
and real-time monitoring of trace and log files. You can upload trace files to a Cisco TAC FTP server and
save preferences. Cisco Unified Communications Manager RTMT can send email and page alerts when
problems are detected. It connects directly to devices by using HTTP for troubleshooting system problems.
● The Cisco Conference Bridge application provides software conference-bridge resources that Cisco Unified
Communications Manager can use.
● The Cisco Unified IP Phone Address Book Synchronizer allows you to synchronize Microsoft Outlook or
Outlook Express address books with Cisco Personal Address Book. After installing and configuring Cisco
Personal Address Book, you can access this feature from the Cisco Unified IP Phone Configuration website.
● The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Locale Installer provides user and network locales for Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, adding support for languages other than English. Locales allow you to
view translated text, receive country-specific phone tones, and receive TAPS prompts in a chosen language
when working with supported interfaces. You can download this application from the Cisco website as
needed.
● The Cisco Dialed Number Analyzer is a serviceability tool that analyzes the dialing plan for specific numbers.
● Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant provides call-routing and display capabilities required by
busy administrative assistants and their managers in a business environment. By combining a PC-based
console application and various softkeys and display panes on Cisco Unified IP Phones, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Assistant can offer you job-specific tools to more efficiently manage calls in this
environment. This function is also available as an XML service on the phone.
● The Cisco Unified Communications Manager JTAPI plug-in is installed on all computers that host applications
that interact with Cisco Unified Communications Manager with the Java Telephony API (JTAPI). JTAPI
reference documentation and sample code are included.
● Cisco Telephony Service Provider contains the Cisco TAPI service provider (TSP) and the Cisco WAV drivers
that TAPI applications use to make and receive calls on the Cisco Unified Communications System.
SIP support is available in Cisco Unified Communications Manager with support for line-side devices, including IETF
RFC 3261-compliant devices available from Cisco and other manufacturers. Cisco SIP-compliant devices include the

© 2010-2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public Information. Page 5 of 16
 Data Sheet

Cisco Unified IP Phone 7905G, 7912G, 7940G, and 7960G models. SIP is also available on the Cisco Unified IP
Phone 7906G, 7911G, 7931G, 7941G, 7941G-GE, 7942G, 7945G, 7961G, 7961G-GE, 7962G, 7965G, 7970G,
7971G, 7975G, 8961, 9951, and 9971 models, as well as on the Cisco Unified IP Phone Expansion Module 7914
and Cisco Unified IP Color Key Expansion Module.

The SIP trunk interface is available and conforms to RFC 3261, allowing support of video calls over the SIP trunk
®
and improving conferencing and application support experiences when used with Cisco Unity and Cisco Unified
®
MeetingPlace solutions.

CAC helps ensure that voice quality of service (QoS) is maintained across constricted WAN links, and it
automatically diverts calls to alternate public-switched-telephone-network (PSTN) routes when WAN bandwidth is
not available. A web interface to the configuration database allows remote device and system configuration. HTML-
based online help is available for users and administrators.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports RSVP agent capability. The RSVP agent on a Cisco router
extends CAC capability beyond a hub-and-spoke topology within or between clusters. Now a call can be routed
directly between two locations in different clusters without having to traverse the hub, allowing alternative network
topologies and more efficient use of networks. RSVP now supports application ID, which associates RSVP
reservation with a specific application and sub-application. Initially voice and video are supported.

SNMP is available to manage Cisco Unified Communications Manager, allowing managers to set and report traps on
conditions that could affect service and send them to remote-monitoring systems.

Cisco Unified Mobility

The Cisco Unified Mobility service helps mobile workers direct their inbound business calls to their IP phone number
and initiate outbound business calls as if they were at their Cisco Unified IP phone—all from their mobile phone (or
other remote phone destination). They can answer incoming calls on the desk phone or mobile phone, pick up calls
between the desk phone and mobile phone without losing the connection, and originate enterprise calls from a
mobile or other remote phone. Cisco Unified Mobility is included in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0 and
provides the following features:

● Allowed and blocked call filters

Licensing
Application and phone software licenses are enforced. The system manages the maximum number of devices that
can be provisioned.

● Each device (Cisco Unified IP Phones, softphones, third-party devices, and video devices) provisioned in the
system corresponds to a number of device license units (DLUs), depending on its capabilities. The total
number of units is managed in Cisco Unified Communications Manager to determine capacity.
● DLUs must be purchased to cover the number of devices connected to Cisco Unified Communications
Manager.
● Third-party SIP devices require DLUs for operation with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
