Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Sample Design
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CME) Files
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express is an IOS VoIP solution based on Cisco Integrated Services Routers. There are specific Cisco Unified CME files for each Cisco Unified CME IOS. A tar archive or zip file contains the files needed for Cisco Unified CME. Be sure to download the correct version for your hardware platform and IOS load. This tar archive or zip file typically contains the phone firmware files that you require. Check equipment and IOS compatibilities in "Cisco Unified Communication Manager Express 4.x Supported Firmware, Platforms, Memory, and Voice Products" found in the "Install and Upgrades" section of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express support pages at cisco.com.
The tar file does not need to be opened. The router will untar and copy the contents to the router flash maintaining the directory structure specified in the tar file.
