VCS
CUCM
 UC Manager is Cisco’s strategic
call control platform, CUCM is the
Single cluster for voice or video
device, including legacy and 3rd
party endpoints
 CUCM Integrated provisioning,
management, phonebooks, and
conferencing
© 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
 VCS provides firewall traversal,
legacy support, and H.323 interworking
functionality
 There are now four possible
operating modes of the VCS:
•
•
•
•
VCS-Control
VCS-Expressway
Expressway-Core (new)
Expressway-Edge (new)

• New - firewall traversal using
“Expressway” Core and Edge

• Devices CANNOT directly register
on either Expressway-Core or
Edge. They register on UCM via
SIP proxy.
• Both solutions work as a strict

• Key factors in this decision are the endpoint type/model and how they connect to the
call control network- Directly via L2/L3?, WAN/VPN? Internet?
• CUCM 10.5 makes it easier to register endpoints on UCM, and fully manage
them, no matter how they are networked (VPN or Expressway)!

Verify the compatibility of various devices in your network with UCM - Unified
Communications Manager Software Compatibility Matrix
Based on your scenario, you may migrate all endpoints to your existing UCM or to a new
UCM. Update all the UCM versions to the latest UCM release. UCM 10.x and higher is
only supported on virtual machines
Update video endpoint version versions to the latest firmware. The Cisco Unified
Communications System Release Summary Matrix for IP Telephony summarizes the
phone firmware version recommended with all Cisco Unified Communications Manager
releases.
Identify endpoint numbers and aliases
Sync Ldap users from AD into UDS or add as end users
Map the URIs in the DN
Use BAT tool to do bulk import of endpoints to UCM
Move FindMe to Shared line in CUCM
Configure SIP registration or enable CDP on the endpoint
If needed change the Endpoints provisioning mode to CUCM in TMS if endpoint is
provisioned
Migrate Phone books and directory

• Devices
• Identify video devices
• Group them into a subzone in the VCS
• URI
• Identify the URIs that are to be migrated
• Delete the URI entries from the ILS catalog
• DNs
• Update the Unified CM route patterns that
point to the VCS

As part of migration, consider making the migrated device a shared line with
other phones for the DN. For example, If you had a UCM cluster with a device for
a user on both UCM and VCS, you can migrate the VCS device to UCM, and
make the migrated device to be a shared line with the user’s existing UCM DN.
Associate user with device
Update the Primary DN in the end user configuration
In DN configure the alias for the user
Use BAT tool to configure the phones into the Unified CM
Enable SNR functionality if needed

If Protocol is changed from H.323 to SIP, then update protocol

Access the endpoint using browser or SSH and change the
provisioning mode and the Vlan mode to auto. This enables CDP and
uses option 150 to register with the Unified CM
If setting VLAN is not possible, then configure SIP information and

• Release Key is not required when migrating from VCS.
• Consider making the directory/phone book in UCM similar to that in VCS, via setting
up the Active Directory integration in UCM and importing the users regularly.
• Enable Active Directory authentication in UCM so that Jabber for Windows, Mac and
iPad will use single sign-on.
• "Cisco TelePresence Profile 52 (C60)” fails to register in UCM unless the device type
changed to "Cisco TelePresence Codec C60". We need to setup the exact device type
in UCM match the output of SSH command “xstatus SystemUnit ProductId”.
• TC4 and older software doesn’t support UCM provision mode. Need to upgrade the
endpoint to TC5 or TC6 (with appropriate Release Key) before switching from VCS to
UCM.
• Use BAT in UCM to create multiple devices, Remote Destination Profiles and Remote
Destinations efficiently.
