Midmarket Collaboration PAGE 12
Endpoints
Recommended Deployment
Cisco Unified CM is the call control server for the Cisco PA for Midmarket Collaboration. Cisco Unified IP Phones, Jabber
clients, and TelePresence video endpoints use SIP to register directly to Cisco Unified CM. The Unified CM cluster’s
failover mechanism provides endpoint registration redundancy. If a WAN failure occurs and endpoints at remote locations
cannot register to Unified CM, they use SRST functionality for local and PSTN calls, but some services such as voicemail
and presence might not be available.
Cisco recommends the endpoints listed in the following tables because they provide optimal features for this design.
Cisco has a range of endpoints with various features and functionality that an organization can also use to address its
business needs.
