Configure Cisco Emergency Responder (CER)#

This procedure configures Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) on VOSS Automate.

Note

For more information on CER installation and setup, refer to the Cisco Emergency Responder Administration Guide.

  1. Log in as the appropriate hierarchy administrator.

  2. Set the hierarchy path to the correct level. Shared instances are created at the provider, reseller, or customer level. Dedicated instances are created at the customer level.

  3. Go to (default menus) Apps Management > CER > Servers.

  4. Perform one of the following:

    • To add a new Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) in VOSS Automate, click Add.

    • To modify an existing CER, click its name in the list of Cisco Emergency Responders.

  5. Enter a name for the Cisco Emergency Responder in the CER_Virtual Server Name field.

  6. Select the Publisher check box if you are configuring a publisher node.

    Note

    The Publisher tab is populated only when the Publisher check box is selected.

  7. Expand Network Addresses.

    1. Choose the SERVICE_PROVIDER_SPACE address space.

    2. Enter the IP address of the CER Server in the IPV4 Address field.

      Note

      Either the hostname or the IP address is required. Ensure that the hostname or IP address does not contain a trailing blank space. VOSS Automate can’t validate an entry that contains a blank space at the end of the hostname or IP address.

    3. The Hostname field is automatically populated with the CER Name. Edit it if necessary.

    4. Fill in the domain of the CER application.

    5. Provide an optional description for the network address.

    3. Choose RO (Read-only) or RW (Read or Write) for the Access Type. The default is RO.

    4. Provide an optional description for the credential.

    PLATFORM and ADMIN are required for license management.
