Certain Contact Centers utilizing UCCX will be running/utilizing the Standard version rather than the Enhanced or Premium versions because it makes sense from a feature and cost perspective. Other Contact Centers have no real need for the Agent Desktop and find it as another application that they have to worry about.
For certain scenarios it makes sense to utilize IP Phone Agent (IPPA), and if IPPA makes sense then One Button Login may make sense as well. Here are the steps to configure both:
IP Phone Agent:
- Make sure that you have your users/agents created, assigned the correct roles/skills and associated in both CUCM and UCCX.
- In CUCM select Device > Device Settings > Phone Services
- Select "Add New"
- IP Phone Agent Configurations:
- Service Name - IP Phone Agent
- ASCII Service Name - IP Phone Agent
- Service Description - Cisco IP Phone Agent
- Service URL - http://<UCCX IP Addr>:6293/ipphone/jsp/sciphonexml/IPAgentInitial.jsp
- Note: Port 6293 is the Tomcat web server port
- Check Enable (or Enterprise Subscription if ALL users are agents)
- Click Save
- Go to Device > Phone and search for the Agent's phone
- In the "Related Links" drop down menu in the top right corner, select "Subscriber/Unsubscribe Services"
- Select IP Phone Agent and click Subscribe
- The phone should reset on its own after clicking Save
One Button Login:
- Make sure that you have your users/agents created, assigned the correct roles/skills and associated in both CUCM and UCCX.
- In CUCM select Device > Device Settings > Phone Services
- Select "Add New"
- One Button Login Configurations:
- Service Name - IP Phone Agent
- ASCII Service Name - IP Phone Agent
- Service Description - Cisco IP Phone Agent
- Service URL - http://<UCCX IP Addr>:6293/ipphone/jsp/sciphonexml/IPAgentLogin.jsp
- Note: Port 6293 is the Tomcat web server port
- Check Enable (or Enterprise Subscription if ALL users are agents)
- Click Save
- Under the Parameters Section select "New"
- Parameter Name - Ext
- Display Name - Ext
- Default Value - N/A
- Parameter Description - ICD Extension
- Checkmark "Parameter is Required"
- Click "Insert"
- Under the Parameters Section select "New"
- Parameter Name - Pwd
- Display Name - Pwd
- Default Value - N/A
- Parameter Description - Agent Password
- Checkmark "Parameter is Required"
- Click "Insert"
- Under the Parameters Section select "New"
- Parameter Name - ID
- Display Name - ID
- Default Value - N/A
- Parameter Description - Agent ID
- Checkmark "Parameter is Required"
- Click "Insert"
- Click Save
- Go to Device > Phone and search for the Agent's phone
- In the "Related Links" drop down menu in the top right corner, select "Subscriber/Unsubscribe Services"
- Select One Button Login
- Enter the specific phone/users ID, Password, and Extension
- The phone should reset on its own after clicking Save

ok I configure it but I receive the following error
ReplyDeleteselected ip phone agent service is not active. select another ip phone agent service
Any Help?
Hi Dragos,
DeleteSounds like you're utilizing the IP Phone Agent (IPPA) service on the physical phone. If you're getting that error you may have to restart the IPPA service on the UCCX server. I'm not sure what version of CUCM/UCCX you're using, but you'll have to locate that service and restart it. You may also have to restart the CTI Manager service on CUCM.
Let me know if that works and if not, what versions you're running. Thanks!

Jason,
ReplyDeleteWe have UCCX 8.5.1. I have also got the same error, when tried to log in to my Physical Cisco Phone. We have two UCCX servers in the cluster (Primary & Secondary). So Do I need to restart this Cisco Desktop Browser and IP Phone Agent Service on both the Servers ? Then We also have CUCM Pub & Sub. So If I am not wrong, I need to stop CTI Manager service on Subscriber first. Then I need to restart CTI Manager service from Publisher and then start CTI Manager service from Subscriber. Did that make sense. Let me know your thoughts. I need this service to be running from my Physical Phones, but not kicking in.
Thank you
Solomon.
