Berbee XML setup

Wed, 02/20/2008 - 11:30 — jyoo

Has anyone successfully setup a Berbee free XML with Call Manager Express?

http://www.berbee.com/public/berbeesoftware/XMLFree.aspx

They have a setup guide but it's for Call Manager. I could just see the "ooooh!" in people's faces if this was a feature on their 7975G phones :)

Thanks!

Does anyone know of any UK based XML services like Berbee - that are also free :-)

Many thanks

how i got berbee to work on uc520

CLI and add DNS to the phone dhcp pool:

UC520#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
UC520(config)#ip dhcp pool phone
UC520(dhcp-config)#dns-server 63.203.35.55
UC520(dhcp-config)#exit
UC520(config)#exit
UC520#wr mem
Building configuration...
Compressed configuration from 26981 bytes to 11829 bytes[OK]
UC520#

--------------------------------

create an xml file and host it on a web server that is accessible from data and voice clients on the uc520 without any kind of ssl or authentication.
verify this by using internet explorer from the data vlan of the uc520. you should see the xml file in its entirety.

-------------------------------------------------

use cli to change the url services under telephony services to point to your web server and the xml file on it:

UC520#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
UC520(config)#telephony-service
UC520(config-telephony)#url services http://192.168.12.3/mymenu.xml
Updating CNF files
CNF files updating complete

UC520(config-telephony)#end
UC520#

-----------------------------------------

Reset the phones.

Thanks for the info wbailey.

Thanks for the info wbailey. It works as url idle. I guess CME is not designed to have more than one url service which is unfortunate.

Yeah. You can only specify

Yeah. You can only specify one type of each service I believe. Ted might be a good resource to ask on that..
I hope everyone enjoys the weekend with their now "berbee'ized' phone system ;)

Using Berbee and Voice View Express

I've done a bit of research on using the Berbee services.  By the Way - Cisco has a free XML developers kit for any of you XML GURUs out there.

Since Call Manager Express and the UC500 only give you one URL location as a Service URL you need to create a custom XML menu app if you want to use the berbee services and Voice View Express at the same time.  One day (when I have time) I am planning to take the project on and post the code on the site, unless another user of the site beats me too it (hint hint)

I have a work around.  End users do not use the information key much so whay not remap it to berbee.

From the command line do the following . . .
conf t
telephony-service
url information http://phone-xml.berbee.com/menu.xml

now the service url for Voice View Express and Berbee can be on the same phone at the same time

I'll be waiting for that code....this would be a great add-on

Not good with xml yet so would love to see that code when you have a chance. That is a great opportunity to enhance those 797x phones with both voice view and berbee, etc.....

Multiple xml services through menu

Here's an example menu that I use in demo's.

Below file is menu.xml, and it's available on http://192.168.10.2/menu.xml (this is only available on the LAN). By pointing url services to this url, the menu is displayed, and the user gets the choice of three options.
For completeness, I've included my url services line under telephony-service.

  url services http://192.168.10.2/menu.xml

Please make sure that your webserver presents the xml file as text/xml.

HTH,

Nice Post Robert

I copied it to the UC500 configuration guide

Berrrrrbeeeee.. So .. I

Berrrrrbeeeee..

So .. I never actually got it to work as a service on the phone. When replacing the url's for any services, it would totally take out the Unity url etc.

SO

login to your router.
enable if you need to, get into priv mode.
config t.
telephony-service
url idle http://XXXX.XXXX.XXXX.xml idle-timeout (NUMBEROFSECONDSBEFOREDISPLAYING)
do wr mem
exit.

At this point all is good.
HOWEVER.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR DNS SERVER SETTINGS IN YOUR PHONE DHCP POOL..

ip dhcp pool phone
network 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.1.1.1
option 150 ip 10.1.1.1
!
ip dhcp pool data
import all
network 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.10.1
dns-server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Make sure you go into the dhcp pool and give it a dns-server so it can resolve the hostname of berbee. After you have everything written to the running config

Hit the settings key of your IP phone, **#** to restart the phone.. Wait the number of seconds.. and you'll have something fun to play with on the desk..

My people constantly use berbee ..

Best
