UCPrep profiles#

Overview#

The UCPrep Profiles list view displays all created profiles at the administrator’s hierarchy and below.

UCPrep profiles are intended to be templates at a higher level in the hierarchy and are then cloned to a lower level for specific settings to a cluster. When cloning a UCPrep profile, the UCPrep profile name must be unique. UCPrep profile notes should also be descriptive so that this information is available when the UCPrep Profile Push tool is used.

For example, a provider level profile may contain global element configuration that are not site or cluster specific. At a customer or site level, this profile can then be cloned and updated with configuration elements that apply to the customer or site.

CUCM Date Time Groups tab#

Configuration templates can be customized and added so that these become available in the Date/Time Group Configuration Template drop-down list, for example to templates to customize the date format and listed on the UCPrep Configuration Templates page.

The UCPrep Friendly Timezones page can be used to manage the list available in the timezones drop-downs, for example to shorten the list to only include the timezones that are used in the Data/Time groups.

../../../_images/UCPPREP-2076d5a148209461.png

The table describes settings on the CUCM Date Time Groups tab:

Field

Description

Date/Time Group Configuration Template

Configuration template used to configure the specific settings to a Data-Time Group in Call Manager. Options available in the Configuration template are date format, separator, Time format, and so on.

Note: the name of the date time group is automatically configured based on the chosen timezone entry. A timezone drop-down entry of America/New_York will create a date time group named America-New_York.

Date/Time Group Add

Timezones are chosen and added via drop-down. Any number of timezones may be chosen.

CUCM Groups tab#

The Members drop-down works once a UCPrep profile has been cloned to the level of the UC applications.

The order in which the members are added indicate primary and secondary members of the group.

Members (In Order)

Add Call Manager nodes via drop-down by adding member entry boxes. The Call Manager nodes are added to the Call Manager Groups in the order presented in the input box.

CUCM Host Adjustment tab#

Multiple nodes of the cluster at the hierarchy can be modified.

Considerations for Host Adjustment are:

  • Since the CUCM Host Adjustment modifies existing data in Call Manager, the data must be re-set or removed if a UCPrep Profile must be applied more than once.

  • The CUCM Host adjustment occurs after the Call Manager Group configuration because the Call Manager will internally adjust the node names within a Call Manager Group when the node is renamed.

  • If a node name is adjusted and a UCPrep profile is run a second or more times, the data on the CUCM Groups tab must be updated from the drop-downs to be the current CUCM node name.

CUCM Audio Codec Preferences tab#

The Audio Codec Preferences List lends itself to be driven by a configuration template rather than a GUI input of a list of codecs.

../../../_images/UCPPREP-10a40adf9b16b25d.png

The lists are written to Call Manager by selecting any number of configuration templates that have been set up to list out groups of codecs. Typically, a configuration template from the menu UCPrep Configuration Templates list view is cloned and modified to show the required codecs and settings.

Audio Codec Preference List Configuration Template Example:

../../../_images/UCPPREP-6bf8bb8e8b53533d.png

The filters are written to Call Manager by selecting any number of configuration templates from the Route Filter Template to Apply drop-down on the input form.

../../../_images/UCPPREP-1298e2b1400b09f9.png

Unity Authentication Policies tab#

The Unity authentication rule lends itself to be driven by a configuration template rather than a GUI input, since settings commonly do not change and the same group of settings are repeated.

../../../_images/UCPPREP-489ee94f859e78b3.png

Typically, configuration templates from the menu UCPrep Configuration Templates list view are cloned and modified to show the required Voice and Web Authentication Rules.
