It goes without saying that GNS3 has eased things alot. In this tutorial, i will show step-by-step how you can setup your Call Manager Express (CME) router’s Graphical Interface (GUI) using GNS3 and use it for router’s configuration.CME GUI will give you similar look and feel like SDM.Both are web based management tools with different functionalities.
CME GUI extends well into Cisco Unity Express(CUE) management if you have physical router with CUE-module in it. Unfortunately, CUE cannot be simulated here .Once you setup basic parameters using CLI, web interface will help you in long run.
BASIC IOS CONFIGURATIONS:
- –>ip http server
- –>ip http path flash:
- –>telephony-service
- –>web admin system name admin password cisco
- –>dn-webedit
- –>time-webedit
CME GUI URL :

Enjoy!

Where can we download the cme-qui-4.1.0.1.tar file from?
You need to have CCO access. Here is the link for downloading CME related stuff:

Why do you ping 6.6.6.5 ?

Nice tutorial!
Thx a lot
Hey,
I want CME in GUI mode ,Can some guide me where i will .tar file which include html feature and also Unity express?
Please please…
It appears that with windows 7 I can run through your tutorial and from another machine I am able to ping the router ip and the router can ping and tftp it. However, the host that is running the GN3 software can not talk to the router. Other then that I have been able to work on my labs for converting a system to use SIP so thank you very much for taking the time to put this together.
Hi,
I can’t get this full working. I’ve installed the tar on the router and can open CME GUI in a browser. However, when I make changes in the GUI, it is not updating the router?
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks,
Rob
