Can we use BroadcastByPhone with a Cisco CallManager system?

Yes, you could. Here are the information we found on cisco’s website. It is referring configuring a softphone. For Voicent, the settings should be the same. Each line configured in Voicent is acting as a SIP softphone.

Once you configured CallManager, and test it with x-lite, you can then use the same settings for Voicent Gateway’s SIP setting (Gateway > Setup > Options > SIP)

How to configure Counterpath Eyebeam and Bria SIP softphones with Callmanager 6.x 7.x

“(third party sip softphones with Callmanager 6.x 7.x)

I made this document based on a document that I saw online, although I made some modifications to it. Before continuing keep in mind the DLU consumption in Unified Communications Manager 6.x 7.x The SIP softphones below can also be registered with a SIP SRST Voice Gateway,

Step 1

- You need to have a user created under user management. You get to it by User Management > End User.
- Create a username, giving it a username, password and PIN.

Step 2

- Go to phone devices (Device | Phone).
- Add a device; for the Phone Type, use Third Party SIP Device; click Next.
- For Mac Address, do not use the Mac address but instead use the extension preceded with eight zeros.
If your extension is 7777, enter 000000007777 (that’s 8 zeros so you end up with 12 digits).
- For description, append SEP (it’s case sensitive!) to the string you used above as the MAC Address.
- For device Pool, choose default.

Phone Button Template: Third Party SIP Device (Basic).
Common Phone Profile: Standard Common Phone Profile.
Location: select the appropiate location
