User Configuration Settings

Table 53-1 describes the user configuration settings. See the "Supported Characters in the Directory" section for additional information.

---

Note Cisco CallManager does not allow you to use the following special characters in any field on the User Information window: =, +, <, >, #, ;, \, , "", and blank spaces.

Table 53-1 User Configuration Settings 

Field	Description
First Name	Enter the user first name.
Last Name	Enter the user last name.
UserID	Enter the user identification name. Cisco CallManager does not permit modifying the user ID after it is created.
User Password	Enter five or more alphanumeric characters for the user password.
Confirm Password	Enter the user password again.
PIN	Enter five or more numeric characters for the Personal Identification Number.
Confirm PIN	Enter the PIN again.
Telephone Number	Enter the user telephone number.
Manager UserID	Enter the name of the user manager ID. The manager name that you enter must already exist in the directory as a user.
Department	Enter the user department information (for example, the department number or name).
User Locale	From the drop-down list box, choose the locale that is associated with the user. The user locale identifies a set of detailed information to support users, including language and font. Cisco CallManager uses this locale for Extension Mobility and the Cisco IP Phone User Options pages. For Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility log on, the locale that is specified here takes precedence over the device and device profile settings. For Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility log off, Cisco CallManager uses the user locale that is specified in the default device profile. Note If you do not choose a user locale, the locale that is specified in the Cisco CallManager service parameters as Default User Locale applies.
Enable CTI Application Use	To configure users so they can use Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) applications, check the Enable CTI Application Use check box.
Call Park Retrieval Allowed	To configure users so they can retrieve parked calls, check the Call Park Retrieval Allowed check box.
Enable Calling Party Number Modification	Choose this field to allow an application such as Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) to change the calling number when initiating a feature request from an application programming interface (API). Refer to the Cisco Emergency Responder documentation for more information.
Associated PC	This field, which is required for Cisco SoftPhone and Cisco CallManager Attendant Console users, displays after the user is added.
Primary Extension	This field displays after the user is added and represents the primary directory number for the user. You choose no primary line when you associate devices to the user. Users can have multiple lines on their phones.
Controlled Devices	This field displays after the user is added. After the device is associated, this field displays the description information (for example, the MAC address) that the user controls.
Enable Authentication Proxy Rights	This field, which is required if the authentication proxy rights for a user with Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility is enabled, displays after the user is added. If authentication proxy rights is enabled, this field displays True; if disabled, this field displays False.
Controlled Device Profiles	This field displays after the user is added. This field displays a list of controlled device profiles that are associated with a user who is configured for Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility.
View page in	From the drop-down selection box, choose the language that the phone displays.

Supported Characters in the Directory

---

Caution Using non-ISO-Latin1 characters greater than 127 with DC Directory, Netscape Directory, or Active Directory can cause directory database errors. Cisco CallManager Release 3.3 and above supports all ISO-Latin1 (ISO-8859-1) characters and all non-ISO-Latin1 characters in the range 0-127 with any directory.

---

Cisco CallManager only supports ISO-Latin1 and ASCII characters in the User Configuration windows in Cisco CallManager Administration.

After you download the locale installer, you can display field names in the User Configuration windows in Cisco CallManager Administration in your chosen language. However, Cisco CallManager only supports ISO-Latin1 (ISO-8859-1) characters and non-ISO-Latin1 characters in the range 0-127 in the fields and in all user accounts and passwords that are needed to access these windows. If a user enters data that is not in the allowed character range, a dialog box displays and states that the user must enter data by using only ISO-Latin1 characters and non-ISO-Latin1 characters in the range 0-127.

Configuring Application Profiles

After you add a new user, you can configure a profile for each application that is listed in the Application Profiles pane on the left side of the User Configuration window. These profiles allow each user to personalize phone features, Cisco IPMA, Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility, Auto Attendant, and Cisco IP SoftPhone capability.

Before you begin

Make sure that the user is in the database. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for more information.

Associating Devices to a User

After you have added a user, you can associate devices over which users will have control. Users can control some devices, such as phones. Applications that are identified as users can control other devices, such as CTI ports. When users have control of a phone, they can control certain settings for that phone, such as speed dial and call forwarding.

Before You Begin

To assign devices to a user, you must access the User Configuration window for that user. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for information on accessing information on existing users. When the User Configuration window displays, perform the following procedure to assign devices.

Procedure

---

Step 1 In the Application Profiles pane, click Device Association.

Step 2 Limit the list of available devices by entering the search criteria in the Available Device List Filters section, if desired, and click Select Devices.

Step 3 Check the check box of one or more devices that you want to associate with the user. You can assign one primary extension from the devices to which the user is assigned by clicking the radio button in the Primary Ext. column for that device.

Step 4 When you have completed the assignment, click Update Selected to assign the devices to the user.

Associating Auto Attendant Profiles

The Automated Attendant (AA) service answers incoming calls and prompts the caller for a user name or extension. The AA scans the directory for a match to resolve the user name or extension and transfers the caller to the appropriate endpoint.

Before You Begin

To associate an automated attendant profile to a user, you must access the User Information window for that user. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for information on accessing information on existing users. When the User Information window displays, perform the following procedure to associate profiles.

Procedure

---

Step 1 In the Application Profiles pane, choose Auto Attendant.

Step 2 In the Name Dialing field, enter the attendant name (LastFirstM). For example, for John Quincy Smith, enter SmithJohnQ.

If a same name or same numerical mapping occurs, a prompt indicates a duplicate key. At this point, you can either change the user name (through nicknames or removal of middle initials) or allow duplicates.

Step 3 Click Insert.

Associating Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility Profiles

Use Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility to configure a Cisco IP Phone 7940 or Cisco IP Phone 7960 to temporarily appear as the phone of a user. The user can log in to a phone, and the extension mobility profile (including line and speed-dial numbers) for the user resides on the phone. This feature applies primarily in environments where users are not permanently assigned to physical phones.

To associate an extension mobility profile to a user, you must access the User Information window for that user. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for information on accessing information on existing users. To configure and associate Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility for users, refer to the "Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility" chapter in the Cisco CallManager Features and Services Guide.
