Introduction

The UCPrep Profile tool further streamlines the preparation process of deployment of Cisco applications with VOSS-4-UC Provider and Enterprise so that administrators will not have to repeat the same configuration tasks over and over every time they stage or build a UC Application.

The tool provides an easy, flexible and repeatable way to define, store and load static configurations and other infrastructure setup needed in the UC applications. One or multiple sets of static configuration data can be set up and stored. The UCPREP Profile tool use can vary from provider to provider and even by customer within a provider.

The created static configuration can then be pushed to UC Apps as a “one-off”, and does not always have to be tied into a overall workflow.

UCPrep Feature Scope

The UCPrep tool covers the following areas of the Cisco Application Deployment:

• CUCM Date Time Groups
• CUCM Groups
• CUCM Host Adjustment
• CUCM SIP Trunk Security Profiles
• CUCM SIP Profiles
• CUCM Audio Codec Preferences
• CUCM Application Users
• CUCM Feature Control Policies
• CUCM Route Filters
• CUC Authentication Policies
• CUC User Templates

It is not necessary to adjust all of these UC Application elements within a given UCPrep Profile. For example, if a Unity server is not part of a deployment, the CUC elements may remain un-configured. Similarly, if there is no need to adjust the hostname of a CUCM node, then the input form tab for that configuration can remain empty.
