Cisco Unified SCCP SRST
Information About SCCP SRST
Cisco Unified SRST provides Cisco Unified CM with fallback support for Cisco Unified IP phones that
are attached to a Cisco router on your local network. Cisco Unified SRST enables routers to provide
call-handling support for Cisco Unified IP phones when they lose connection to remote primary,
secondary, or tertiary Cisco Unified CM installations or when the WAN connection is down.
Cisco Unified CM supports Cisco Unified IP phones at remote sites attached to Cisco multiservice
routers across the WAN. Prior to Cisco Unified SRST, when the WAN connection between a router and
the Cisco Unified CM failed or when connectivity with Cisco Unified CM was lost for some reason,
Cisco Unified IP phones on the network became unusable for the duration of the failure. Cisco Unified
SRST overcomes this problem and ensures that the Cisco Unified IP phones offer continuous (although
minimal) service by providing call-handling support for Cisco Unified IP phones directly from the Cisco
Unified SRST router. The system automatically detects a failure and uses Simple Network Auto
Provisioning (SNAP) technology to autoconfigure the branch office router to provide call processing for
Cisco Unified IP phones that are registered with the router. When the WAN link or connection to the
primary Cisco Unified CM is restored, call handling reverts back to the primary Cisco Unified CM.
When Cisco Unified IP phones lose contact with primary, secondary, and tertiary Cisco Unified CM,
they must establish a connection to a local Cisco Unified SRST router to sustain the call-processing
capability necessary to place and receive calls. The Cisco Unified IP phone retains the IP address of the
local Cisco Unified SRST router as a default router in the Network Configuration area of the Settings
menu. The Settings menu supports a maximum of five default router entries; however, Cisco Unified CM
accommodates a maximum of three entries. When a secondary Cisco Unified CM is not available on the
network, the local Cisco Unified SRST Router's IP address is retained as the standby connection for
Cisco Unified CM during normal operation.
Cisco Unified SCCP and SIP SRST Feature Overview
NoteCisco Unified CM fallback mode telephone service is available only to those Cisco Unified IP
phones that are supported by a Cisco Unified SRST router. Other Cisco Unified IP phones on the
network remain out of service until they re-establish a connection with their primary, secondary,
or tertiary Cisco Unified CM.
Typically, it takes three times the keepalive period for a phone to discover that its connection to Cisco
Unified CM has failed. The default keepalive period is 30 seconds. If the phone has an active standby
connection established with a Cisco Unified SRST router, the fallback process takes 10 to 20 seconds
after connection with Cisco Unified CM is lost. An active standby connection to a Cisco Unified SRST
router exists only if the phone has the location of a single Cisco Unified CM in its Unified
Communications Manager list. Otherwise, the phone activates a standby connection to its secondary
Cisco Unified CM.
NoteThe time it takes for a Cisco Unified IP Phone to fallback to the SRST router can vary depending
on the phone type. Phones such as the Cisco 7902, Cisco 7905, and Cisco 7912 can take
approximately 2.5 minutes to fallback to SRST mode.
If a Cisco Unified IP phone has multiple Cisco Unified CM in its Cisco Unified CM list, it progresses
through its list of secondary and tertiary Cisco Unified CM before attempting to connect with its local
Cisco Unified SRST router. Therefore, the time that passes before the Cisco Unified IP phone eventually
establishes a connection with the Cisco Unified SRST router increases with each attempt to contact to a
Cisco Unified CM. Assuming that each attempt to connect to a Cisco Unified CM takes about 1 minute,
the Cisco Unified IP phone in question could remain offline for 3 minutes or more following a WAN link
failure.
Cisco Unified SCCP and SIP SRST System Administrator Guide

OL-13143-04
Cisco Unified SCCP and SIP SRST Feature Overview
NoteDuring a WAN connection failure, when Cisco Unified SRST is enabled, Cisco Unified IP
phones display a message informing you that they are operating in Cisco Unified CM fallback
mode. For example, the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940G
display a "CM Fallback Service Operating" message, and the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7910
displays a "CM Fallback Service" message when operating in Cisco Unified CM fallback mode.
When the Cisco Unified CM is restored, the message goes away and full Cisco Unified IP phone
functionality is restored.
While in Cisco Unified CM fallback mode, Cisco Unified IP phones periodically attempt to re-establish
a connection with Cisco Unified CM at the central office. Generally, the default time that Cisco Unified
IP phones wait before attempting to re-establish a connection to a remote Cisco Unified CM is 120
seconds. The time can be changed in Cisco Unified CM; see the "Device Pool Configuration Settings"
chapter in the appropriate Cisco Unified CM Administration Guide. A manual reboot can immediately
reconnect Cisco Unified IP phones to Cisco Unified CM.
When a connection is re-established with Cisco Unified CM, Cisco Unified IP phones automatically
cancel their registration with the Cisco Unified SRST Router. However, if a WAN link is unstable, Cisco
Unified IP phones can bounce between Cisco Unified CM and Cisco Unified SRST. A Cisco Unified IP
phone cannot re-establish a connection with the primary Cisco Unified CM at the central office if it is
currently engaged in an active call.
Cisco Unified SCCP SRST
Cisco Unified SRST supports the following call combinations:
•SCCP phone to SCCP phone
•SCCP phone to PSTN/router voice-port
•SCCP phone to WAN VoIP using SIP or H.323
•SIP phone to SIP phone
•SIP phone to PSTN / router voice-port
•SIP phone to Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) phone
•SIP phone to WAN VoIP using SIP
Figure 1 shows a branch office with several Cisco Unified IP phones connected to a Cisco Unified SRST
router. The router provides connections to both a WAN link and the PSTN. Typically, the
Cisco
Unified IP phones connect to their primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager at the central
office via the WAN link. When the WAN connection is down, the Cisco
Cisco
Unified SRST router as a fallback for their primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The
branch office Cisco
Unified IP phones are connected to the PSTN through the Cisco Unified SRST
Unified IP phones use the
router and are able to make and receive off-net calls.

On H.323 gateways for SCCP SRST, when the WAN link fails, active calls from Cisco Unified IP phones
to the PSTN are not maintained by default. Call preservation may work with the no h225 timeout keepalive command.
Under default configuration, the H.323 gateway maintains a keepalive signal with Cisco Unified
Communications
Manager and terminates H.323-to-PSTN calls if the keepalive signal fails, for
example, if the WAN link fails. To disable this behavior and help preserve existing calls from local
Cisco
Unified IP phones, you can use the no h225 timeout keepalive command. Disabling the keepalive
mechanism only affects calls that will be torn down as a result of the loss of the H.225 keepalive signal.
For information regarding disconnecting a call when an inactive condition is detected, see the
Inactive Call Detection document.

ReleaseRestrictions
Ver si o n 4 . 112.4.(15)T •Enhanced 911 Services for Cisco Unified SRST does not interface with the Cisco
Emergency Responder.
•The information about the most recent phone that called 911 is not preserved after
a reboot of Cisco Unified SRST.
•Cisco Emergency Responder does not have access to any updates made to the
emergency call history table when remote IP phones are in Cisco Unified SRST
fallback mode. Therefore, if the PSAP calls back after the Cisco Unified IP phones
register back to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Emergency
Responder will not have any history of those calls. As a result, those calls will not
get routed to the original 911 caller. Instead, the calls are routed to the default
destination that is configured on Cisco Emergency Responder for the
corresponding ELIN.
•For Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 and 7921, a caller’s location can only be
determined by the static information configured by the system administrator. For
more information, see the
Precautions for Mobile Phones in Configuring Enhanced
911 Services.
•The extension numbers of 911 callers can be translated to only two emergency
location identification numbers (ELINs) for each emergency response location
(ERL).
•Using ELINs for multiple purposes can result in unexpected interactions with
existing Cisco Unified SRST features. These multiple uses of an ELIN can include
configuring an ELIN for use as an actual phone number (ephone-dn, voice register
dn, or FXS destination-pattern), a Call Pickup number, or an alias rerouting
number. For more information, see the
Multiple Usages of an ELIN in Configuring
Enhanced 911 Services.
•There are a number of other ways that your configuration of Enhanced 911 Services
can interact with existing Cisco Unified SRST features and cause unexpected
behavior. For a complete description of interactions between Enhanced 911
Services and existing Cisco Unified SRST features, see the
“Interactions with
Existing Cisco Unified SIP SRST Features” section on page 106.

Information About SIP SRST
This guide describes Cisco Unified SRST functionality for SIP networks. Cisco Unified SIP SRST
provides backup to an external SIP proxy server by providing basic registrar and redirect server or
back-to-back user agent (B2BUA) services. These services are used by a SIP IP phone in the event of a
WAN connection outage when the SIP phone is unable to communicate with its primary SIP proxy.
Cisco Unified SIP SRST can support SIP phones with standard RFC 3261 feature support locally and
across SIP WAN networks. With Cisco Unified SIP SRST, SIP phones can place calls across SIP
networks in the same way as SCCP phones.
Cisco Unified SIP SRST supports the following call combinations:
•SIP phone to SIP phone
Cisco Unified SIP SRST
•SIP phone to PSTN / router voice-port
•SIP phone to Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) phone
•SIP phone to WAN VoIP using SIP
SIP proxy, registrar, and B2BUA servers are key components of a SIP VoIP network. These servers are
usually located in the core of a VoIP network. If SIP phones located at remote sites at the edge of the
VoIP network lose connectivity to the network core (because of a WAN outage), they may be unable to
make or receive calls. Cisco Unified SIP SRST functionality on a SIP PSTN gateway provides service
reliability for SIP-based IP phones in the event of a WAN outage. Cisco Unified SIP SRST enables the
SIP IP phones to continue to make and receive calls to and from the PSTN and also to make and receive
calls to and from other SIP IP phones.

Prerequisites for Configuring Cisco Unified SIP SRST
Before configuring Cisco Unified SIP SRST, you must do the following:
•An SRST feature license is required to enable the Cisco Unified SIP SRST feature. Contact your
account representative if you have further questions.

Ver si o n 8 . 015.1(1)T •SIP phones may be configured on the Cisco Unified CM with an Authenticated
device security mode. The Cisco Unified CM ensures integrity and authentication
for the phone using a TLS connection with NULL-SHA cipher for signaling. If
such an Authenticated SIP phone fails over to the Cisco Unified SRST device, and
if the Cisco Unified CM and SRST device are configured to support secure SIP
SRST, it will register using TCP instead of TLS/TCP, thus disabling the
Authenticated mode until the phone fails back to the Cisco Unified CM.

Cisco Unified SCCP and SIP SRST Feature Overview
MGCP Gateways and SRST
MGCP fallback is a different feature than SRST and, when configured as an individual feature, can be
used by a PSTN gateway. To use SRST as your fallback mode on an MGCP gateway, SRST and MGCP
fallback must both be configured on the same gateway. MGCP and SRST have had the capability to be
configured on the same gateway since Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T.
To make outbound calls while in SRST mode on your MGCP gateway, two fallback commands must be
configured on the MGCP gateway. These two commands allow SRST to assume control over the voice
port and over call processing on the MGCP gateway. With Cisco IOS earlier than 12.3(14)T, the two
commands are the ccm-manager fallback-mgcp and call application alternate commands. With
Cisco
IOS releases after 12.3(14)T, the ccm-manager fallback-mgcp and service commands must be
configured. A complete configuration for these commands is shown in the section the
Unified SRST on an MGCP Gateway” section on page 64.
NoteThe commands listed above are ineffective unless both commands are configured. For instance, your
configuration will not work if you only configure the ccm-manager fallback-mgcp command.
For more information on the fallback methods for MGCP gateways, see the Configuring MGCP Gateway

information.
Cisco Unified IP Phone Support
For the most up-to-date information about Cisco Unified IP Phone support, see Compatibility
Information.
For ATAs that are registered to a Cisco Unified SRST system to participate in FAX calls, they must have
their ConnectMode parameter set to use the "standard payload type 0/8" as the RTP payload type in FAX
passthrough mode. For ATAs used with Cisco Unified SRST 4.0 and higher versions, this is done by
setting bit 2 of the ConnectMode parameter to 1 on the ATA. For more information, see the
and Defaults chapter in Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor Administrator's
Guide for SCCP.
During Cisco Unified CM fallback, Cisco Unified SRST considers the Cisco VG248 to be a group of
Cisco Unified IP phones. Cisco Unified SRST counts each of the 48 ports on the Cisco VG248 as a
separate Cisco Unified IP phone. Support for Cisco VG248 Version 1.2(1) and higher versions is
available as of Cisco SRST Version 2.1. For more information, see
