Print

To set up Google Sync on your iPhone or iPod Touch device, please follow the steps below .

Requirements and Upload

1. Google Sync is only supported on iPhone OS versions 3.0 and above. You can check your current version by going to Settings > General > About > Version. To upgrade, follow the instructions at http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/. Please upgrade to iPhone OS 3.0 before setting up Google Sync.

2. Perform a sync with iTunes to ensure that Contacts and Calendars from your iPhone are backed up to your computer.

Getting Started

1. Open the Settings application on your device’s home screen.
2. Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
3. Tap Add Account….
4. Select Microsoft Exchange.

    

Enter Account Info

5. In the Email field, enter your full Google Account email address. If you use an @googlemail.com address, you may see an "Unable to verify certificate" warning when you proceed to the next step.
6. Leave the Domain field blank.
7. Enter your full Google Account email address as the Username.
8. Enter your Google Account password as the Password.
9. Tap Next at the top of your screen.
9a. Choose Accept if the Unable to Verify Certificate dialog appears.
10. A new Server field will appear. Enter m.google.com.
11. Press Next at the top of your screen again.

   

12. Select the Google services you want to sync.

13. Unless you want to delete all the existing Contacts and Calendars on your phone, select the Keep on my iPhone option when prompted. This will also allow you to keep syncing with your computer via iTunes.

If you want to sync only the My Contacts group, you must choose to Delete Existing Contacts during the Google Sync install when prompted. If you choose to keep existing contacts, it will sync the contents of the "All Contacts" group instead.

     

You’ve set up Google Sync for your iPhone. Synchronization will begin automatically if you have Push enabled on your phone. You can also open the Mail, Calendar or Contacts app and wait a few seconds to start a sync. 

Next learn how to choose which calendars to sync, if you’d like to enable multiple calendars. 

Tip: If your business, school, or organization uses Google Apps, your administrator will first need to enable Google Sync before you can take advantage of this feature.

Manually Remove Cisco CAD Desktop 4.X and Above

 

I am sure that at some point you have removed a part of the Cisco CAD Desktop that you should not have done during an upgrade as i have many times.

Well don’t despair there is a solution. Get down and dirty with and manual removal (Come on regedit).

Follow this extracted procedure :-

It may become necessary to manually remove Cisco Desktop applications from your PC. Some reasons for this are:

SRST and Cisco Unity Voicemail

During the trip to the USA a few new challenges came up for me and a co-worker to resolve.

The first of these was when a site is in Fallback (SRST) and you have a IVR attached to a number on this site but the IVR server is remote. SRST by default will accept and setup dynamic dial peers for all physical devices (2345$) but if you have a none physical device or number (CTI Route Point) then no dial peers where matched.

So the solution!!

Within the call-manager-fallback (SRST) options you use the alias command. this will allow you to redirect this virtual number to a physical number.

Standard SRST Config

call-manager-fallback
secondary-dialtone 9
max-conferences 5 gain -6
transfer-system full-consult
limit-dn 7942 1
limit-dn 7945 1
timeouts interdigit 5
ip source-address X.X.X.X port 2000
max-ephones 100
max-dn 100 dual-line
transfer-pattern 9T
default-destination XXXX
alias 1 2100 to 2122 huntstop
date-format dd-mm-yy

Week in the USA

Just sat around in Heathrow airport waiting to catch a plane to San Francisco for a weeks work. looking forward to this week as i get to play with the Telco’s in the USA for the first time. Some might say “This will be challenging” we shall see.

The US telephony system only uses 10 digits how hard can it be !!!!

Cisco CUCM Extension Mobility User (Current logged in phone)

I have always been bothered about how you find what IP Phone a specific user is logged onto with the New versions of CUCM from Cisco Systems.

After much digging i have found a way, a little convoluted but it works great saving time and the call to ask for the MAC address of the device.

So how you you do it ?

First go into the Users Device Profile

Search for the device profile you want to find logged in and click into the users profile. Once in the device profile in the top right hand dropdown select Dependency Records and hit go.

Another window will now open, If the user does not have an active phone login then you will only see the statically configured options.
If you do see an active login then you will see the “Extension Mobility Dynamic” option.

What you will then see is a little strange but don’t worry just play along.

Just click the Empty link and the system will then take you to where the Phone that the user is logged onto. Job Done.

Hope you all find this useful if so let me know.!!
