In this short post I am giving a solution to the HTTP Status 404 ccmadmin error in CUCM. This error occurs when the CUCM web server no longer responds. It may happen without prior notice and it can be a pain in the ass.   If you are running CUCM on Vmware and you’ve just installed CUCM, I highly recommend you take a snapshot, because it is possible that you will revert the image back to a previous point. Otherwise, here are the only options you’ve got: wait until the web server gets back online, which was recommended by a fellow engineer here . restart the web server from CLI. I’ll assume you are impatient so you choose option 2 :) By the way, to display the list of Cisco services in CLI, do a “utils service list” or better “utils service list page”, which allows you to browse the services page by page, by pressing the space bar. The web server service is called Cisco Tomcat . Sometimes you think Tomcat is started but it is playing tricks in t...

Testing voice translation rules To see how a voice translation rule applies to a particular string, use the command “test voice translation-rule {ruleset} {string}” Using Translation rules and translation profiles to manipulate the calling and called numbers Here is the lab setting: Mongi Shop is in Austin. Mongi wants to buy a bicycle from a local store. When he dials in the Sports Shop number (in Austin too), we need to make sure that on the gateway: the calling number is expanded to its E.164 format, which is the single PSTN number Mongi bought from Telco, the called number is expanded to its E.164 format too Using translation rules and translation profiles – we modify the outgoing calling number to a full E164 Local PSTN number –> apply it to the outbound dial peer – we modify the incoming called number to a four-digit internal number –> apply it to the inbound dial peer Let’s select the internal Mongi line: Then dial the full PSTN n...

In this post we’ll learn how to install Cisco IP Communicator (CIPC) inside a virtual machine. The virtualization software we will use is Oracle VM VirtualBox. There are two steps: copy CIPC installation files from the host machine to the guest virtual machine, install the CIPC software. Copying installation files to the virtual machine The Cisco IP Communicator software that I have on my host machine is a Zip file. I only need to transfer it from my host machine to the virtual machine. For this, we’ll need to build a shared folder between the host machine and VirtualBox.  Shared Folders Between Host Machine And Virtual Machine In VirtualBox In order to allow sharing of the Cisco IP Communicator file – or any other documents- between the host machine (your physical machine) and the VirtualBox machine, I needed to mount a shared folder on a Virtual Box machine. I installed a Windows XP machine as a Virtual box. And I need to install Cisco IP Communicator on it. I need t...
