Configuring Extensions and Phones on CME (Call Manager Express)

Before configuring a IP phone on Cisco CallManager Express (CCME), we need first to

understand the concepts of ephone and ephone-dn.

In CCME, “ephone” (short for Ethernet Phone) refers to the physical IP phone device, and is

configured with the Ethernet MAC address of the IP phone.The ephone directory number

(ephone-dn) refers to the phone lines that are associated with the ephone device.

Dual Line: A dual line uses for features such as call transfer ,call waiting and conferencing

A dual line configuration uses one line with two channels so that a second call to the same

line can be put in call waiting mode or a transfer.
