Configuring Cisco AXL sync

Follow the steps below to configure TIM Enterprise to synchronise with the directory of your your Cisco UCME:

  1. Click on the Directory tab.
  2. Go to the Directory level where you want to sync the UCME files and add a new Directory Sync object. Enter a name for the object and click on the Add button, as shown below:

  3. Left-click on the newly-created object and select Properties.
  4. In the Directory type drop-down list, select Cisco UCME.
  5. In the Host name field, enter the IP address of your UCME.
  6. In the Host port field, enter the port number of the IOS service, e.g. 23 .
  7. In the Username field, enter the username of the IOS login that can perform synchronisation.

  8. Click on Set password button and enter the password of the IOS login that can perform synchronisation.

  9. Click on the Save button to apply the changes.

Configuring UCME to send RADIUS events

Use Telnet to connect to the IP address of your UCME as shown below:


Single site configuration

Enter the following commands to enable the UCME to send RADIUS events to TIM Enterprise:

Multi-site configuration

To configure a multi-site system, follow the steps below:

Replace SITE_NAME with a unique name for the destination RADIUS information.
Replace SITE_IP with the IP address of the RADIUS server.
Replace SITE_KEY with the secret you want to assign to that specific site.

For a system with five or more RADIUS servers, it is recommended to amend the server retransmit options in the UCME, in order to reduce the stress on the phone system.

IP radius source-interface

To force RADIUS to use the IP address of a specified interface for all outgoing RADIUS packets, use the ip radius source-interface command in global configuration mode.

ip radius source-interface SUBINTERFACE-NAME

 If you don't wish to use the IP address of a specified interface, use the no form of this command.

no ip radius source-interface

Configuring TIM Enterprise to capture RADIUS packets

Follow the steps below to configure TIM Enterprise to receive RADIUS data from your UCME:

  1. Click on the Directory tab.
  2. Locate the PBX object you want to configure in the Directory, right-click on it and select Properties.
  3. A new window will open, displaying the general properties of your PBX object. Select Cisco UCME - RADIUS from the Data format list and tick the Keep a local backup of data box, as shown below:

  4. Click on the Connection tab and select RADIUS connection from the Connection method list.
  5. In the Client IP field, enter the IP address of your UCME.
  6. In the Secret key field, enter the RADIUS-server key you configured on your UCME in the section above, e.g. C1sco.

  7. Click on the Save button to apply the settings.
