Integration with Cisco SPA and 3PCC series phones

Cisco SPA series phones could be configured in a few ways:

  • Using phone's built-in web interface
  • Auto-provisioining of phone using HTTP, for example, in Broadworks or Metaswitch environment.

Supported models:

  • Cisco SPA 300, 500 Series
  • Cisco CP-8800 3PCC Series

Soft key MiaRec is displayed on Cisco SPA series phone when phone services are configured properly.

Soft Key MiaRec

Click the MiaRec phone services button to see the Recording controls screen. The Record/No Record and Pause/Resume buttons are displayed on this screen:

Recording Controls

Option 1. Configure phone using built-in web interface

Open phone's built-in web interface and navigate to Administration -> Advanced Settings -> Phone.

  1. Change "Programmable Softkey Enable" to yes.
  2. Insert the following text into PSK 1 field (or any other field if PSK 1 is already used).

    fnc=xml;url=http://{MIAREC_WEB_SERVER}/api/phone_services/cisco_spa/calls/active_call?login=$UID1;nme=MiaRec
    

    Where {MIAREC_WEB_SERVER} is your MiaRec web server address and nme=MiaRec a soft key title. $UID1 will be substituted with the first line SIP Auth User ID. It should match to the correponding configuration of user profile in MiaRec web portal (menu Administration -> User Management -> Users, field Login). 3. Add psk1|1 to the Connected Key List field.

    Before:

    conf|3;xfer|4;toggle;bxfer;confLx;xferLx;park;phold;flash;
    

    After:

    psk1|1;conf|3;xfer|4;toggle;bxfer;confLx;xferLx;park;phold;flash;
    

    A number after | symbol specifies a position of button (1st in our example). psk1 corresponds to PSK 1 field configured above.

For more detail about Custom Phone Keys you can check the Cisco Small Business SPA300 Series, SPA500 Series, and WIP310 IP Phone Administration Guide

Option 2. Configure phone using Metaswitch SIP provisioining server

You need to create Endpoint Pack Extension for Metaswitch. You can find the detailed instructions in Metaswitch Community. See the document [Cisco] Creating a Cisco pack extension.

Configure phone using Metaswitch SIP provisioining server

File metadata.yaml (example):

ID: cisco_SPA5xx_accredited  
PackVersion: 17  
Version: 1  
Position: End  
TemplatePositions:  
- Template: config.ftl  
  Position: End  

File templates/schema.yaml (example):

group_names:
  CustomParameters:
    display_name:
      default: Custom Parameters

settings:
  - name: custom_MiaRecPhoneServices_Button
    group_name: CustomParameters
    display_name: 
      default: MiaRecPhoneServices_Button
    syntax:
      type: Boolean
    default_value: false

File templates/config.ftl (example):

<flat-profile>  
${logger.log("MiaRec Phone Services soft key")}  
  <Programmable_Softkey_Enable ua="na">Yes</Programmable_Softkey_Enable>  
  <Connected_Key_List ua="na">psk16|1;${profile.AdvConnKeyList}</Connected_Key_List>  
  <PSK_16 ua="na">fnc=xml;url=http://{MIAREC_WEB_SERVER}/api/phone_services/cisco_spa/calls/active_call?login=$UID1;nme=MiaRec</PSK_16>  
</flat-profile> 

Where {MIAREC_WEB_SERVER} is your MiaRec web server address and nme=MiaRec a soft key title. $UID1 will be substituted with the first line SIP Auth User ID. It should match to the correponding configuration of user profile in MiaRec web portal (menu Administration -> User Management -> Users, field Login).

Option 3. Configure phone using generic provisioining server (HTTP-based server)

If you are a service provider and provision phone using Broadworks, Metaswitch or home-grown HTTP based system, then you need to add the following customizations to your Cisco SPA phone configuration template. For more details check Cisco Small Business IP Telephony Devices Provisioning Guide

Example of Plain Text configuration:

Programmable_Softkey_Enable   "Yes" ;

Connected_Key_List                   "psk1|1;conf|3;xfer|4;toggle;bxfer;confLx;xferLx;park;phold;flash;" ;

PSK_1 "fnc=xml;url=http://{MIAREC_WEB_SERVER}/api/phone_services/cisco_spa/calls/active_call?login=$UID1;nme=MiaRec" ;

Where {MIAREC_WEB_SERVER} is your MiaRec web server address and nme=MiaRec a soft key title. $UID1 will be substituted with the first line SIP Auth User ID. It should match to the correponding configuration of user profile in MiaRec web portal (menu Administration -> User Management -> Users, field Login).

Troubleshooting

MiaRec System Log

Navigate in MiaRec web portal to Administration -> Maintenance -> System Log and check if there are any warnings/errors.

Use your web browser to simulate the hardware phone

Open in your web browser the same link as you configured in the Polycom configuration file, for example:

https://miarec.example.com/api/phone_services/cisco_spa/calls/active_call?login=123456
