Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Installation 101

In this post I will cover the basic steps to install the CME and enabling the CME GUI.

My environment: Cisco ISR 2821 router, IOS 12.4(24)T Advanced Enterprise
CME version: 7.1.0.1

1. Firstly, download the file cme-full-7.1.0.1.tar from CCO.  This TAR file includes MOH, ringtones, 797x backgrounds, phone loads and updated GUI files for 12.4(24)T.

 

2. Update your router IOS to version 12.4(24)T.

 

3. Copy the cme-full-7.1.0.1.tar file from tftp file to router flash:
copy tftp://1.2.3.4/cme-full-7.1.0.1.tar flash:

 

4. Extract your cme tar file to your flash root directory:
archive tar /xtract flash:cme-full-7.1.0.1.tar flash:

 

5. You should see something similar on flash.

6. Enable HTTP server on the router:

ip http server

7. Specify the HTTP root path, in my case it is flash:gui.

ip http path flash:gui

8. Define an inital username and password for system administrator to access the GUI and enable the GUI to be used to set the time and edit DN:

telephony-service

web admin system name panda password eatsbamboo


dn-webedit


time-webedit

9. To access CME GUI:
