CUCME-SRST Cheatsheet



Starting from CUCME 4.0, it provides fallback functionality to IP phones that are registered to CUCM, just like SRST, but provide more robust features like B-ACD during the fallback mode.

Some of the key points for CME-SRST mode:
  • First supported with CME 4.0 – IOS 12.4(4)XC
  • IP phones re-home to CME in event of CallManager failure & have access to advanced CME telephony features
  • Support for up to 240 ephones
  • No support for Vg248 registration during fallback
  • Lack of support for “alias” command
  • Support for Cisco Unity at remote sites (Distributed Exchange/Domino)
  • Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, B-ACD, Call Park,Softkey templates, paging
  • Support for CIPC 2.0 with VTA 2.0 on same computer
  • No support for secure voice in SRST mode
  • Requires more complex configuration

The call-manager-fallback command, which is used to configure Cisco Unified SRST, cannot be used on a router that is configured for Cisco Unified CME
