Jabber for Everyone Overview

"Jabber for everyone "makes Cisco Jabber presence and instant messaging (IM) available at a small end user cost for customers who have deployed Cisco Unified Communications Manager for all or part of their organization

"Jabber for Everyone" provides the complete flexibility of Jabber's Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) capabilities for presence and IM. The full range of Cisco Jabber clients deployable on Windows, MAC, iPad, iPhone, and Android are supported. Customers can also build and deploy presence and IM-enabled applications using the Jabber Web Software Development Kit (SDK).

Employees who are existing Cisco IP Telephony users can leverage Cisco Jabber clients to control their IP desk phone to initiate and manage calls. In addition, employees who are existing Cisco Unity Connection users can leverage Cisco Jabber clients for visual voicemail. Customers who are fully licensed for Cisco Collaboration can easily expand beyond the "Jabber for Everyone" IM and Presence Service to leverage Jabber's complete Unified Communications capabilities, including WebEx meetings, and standards-based voice and HD video (using Cisco's Precision Video Engine PVE technology) across desktop and mobile devices.

Jabber for Everyone Solution Supported Features

"Jabber for Everyone" enables a broad range of Cisco Jabber features as follows:

  • Core IM and Presence—This is the baseline offering. It provides standard IM features such as One-to-One and Group Chat IM. It also provides a range of presence states ("Available," "Away," "Offline," "Do Not Disturb," and custom status). Core IM and Presence also enables Multi-Device which allows a user to log in to multiple Cisco Jabber devices in parallel (such as Cisco Jabber for Windows and Cisco Jabber IM for iPhone), send and receive IMs to multiple devices simultaneously and set presence state from any device. See Table 1 for details of supported features.

  • Advanced IM—If you want to add other advanced IM features such as federation, compliance and high availability, you can incorporate them into your deployment with additional configuration. See Table 1 for details.

  • Rich UC Presence—If you want to integrate additional sources of presence including the telephony state of Cisco IP phone-enabled users ("On a call") or meeting status from Microsoft Exchange ("In a Meeting") with the presence features that are available with Core IM and Presence, you can do so with additional configuration. See Table 1 for details.

  • Desk Phone Control—Along with IM and Presence capabilities, "Jabber for Everyone" allows users who are configured for Cisco IP Telephony to also use their Cisco Jabber client to control their Cisco IP phone to make and answer calls through Computer Telephony Integration (CTI).

  • Visual Voicemail—If you have Cisco Unity Connection deployed, you can add the ability to view, play, sort and delete voicemail messages from Cisco Jabber with additional configuration.

  • Mobile and Remote Access—If you have Cisco Expressway deployed, you can provide presence and instant messaging features to Cisco Jabber users whereby Cisco Jabber users do not have to connect to the corporate network over a VPN.

You must configure Core IM and Presence as the first step to utilize basic features of IM and Presence and as a prerequisite to further enable Rich UC Presence, any of the Advanced IM, Desk Phone Control or Visual Voicemail features, if you wish to do so. You can flexibly select which features of Rich UC Presence and Advanced IM you wish to enable. In general, these optional features do not have to be configured or enabled in any particular sequence.

The following matrix lists the features that "Jabber for Everyone" supports for each client.

System Requirements

Deployment Prerequisites

The only prerequisite to deploy "Jabber for Everyone" is that you must be both a Cisco Unified Communications Manager customer and an IM and Presence Service customer.

Hardware and Software Requirements

This section describes the hardware and software requirements for "Jabber for Everyone".

Hardware Requirements

"Jabber for Everyone" supports Cisco-provided, third party compatible, or virtual hardware solutions. For more information about hardware requirements, see the appropriate compatibility information for IM and Presence Service and Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Scale Requirements

For Cisco Unified Communications Manager nodes, adding users with "Jabber for Everyone" should not impact the scalability for the core voice and video users.

For IM and Presence Service, mixing full UC mode users and users added with "Jabber for Everyone" is supported on the same node, or cluster. The following formula shows how to determine how many users you can add to your deployment with "Jabber for Everyone":

Number of "Jabber for Everyone" users = (Number of full UC users/Maximum number of full UC users) x Maximum number of "Jabber for Everyone" users

For example, if you have 10,000 full UC users on a node that supports a maximum of 15,000 users, then you are operating at 2/3 of the scale for UC, which means that 1/3 is available for "Jabber for Everyone" users. The IM and Presence Service supports 15,000 users for IM-only mode, therefore, you can add 5,000 users (15,000 x 1/3) through "Jabber for Everyone". This amounts to a total of 15,000 users.

For more information about sizing an IM and Presence Service cluster, refer to the Cisco Collaboration Sizing Tool.

Software Requirements

" Jabber for Everyone" is supported with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service Releases 11.5, 12.0 and 12.5.

For Cisco Jabber, refer to your Jabber product documentation.

License Requirements

With "Jabber for Everyone", Jabber IM client applications and IM and Presence Service licenses are available to Cisco Unified Communications Manager customers at no additional license cost.

Ordering options are available for existing User Connect Licensing (UCL) and Cisco Unified Workspace Licensing (CUWL) customers as follows:

  • Cisco Unified Communications Manager UCL customers can order "Jabber for Everyone" to provide IM support to users that are not Cisco Unified Communications Manager users.

  • CUWL customers can order "Jabber for Everyone" to provide IM support to users that are not Cisco Unified Communications Manager users.

Jabber for Everyone Deployment Workflow

Core IM and Presence represents the baseline offering for the "Jabber for Everyone" solution. You can extend your deployment by incorporating any of the following additional, optional feature sets:

  • Advanced IM

  • Rich UC Presence

  • Desk Phone Control

  • Visual Voicemail

Each deployment scenario assumes that Unified Communications Manager is installed.

The following figure shows the Core IM and Presence feature set and the optional features that can be deployed with additional configuration for Advanced IM, Rich UC Presence, Desk Phone Control and Visual Voicemail.

Figure 2. "Jabber for Everyone" Feature Set


Core IM and Presence Service Deployment

The following are the high-level tasks that you must complete to enable core IM and Presence Service features in your network:

  1. Set up users on Cisco Unified Communications Manager .

  2. Install the IM and Presence Service.

  3. Verify essential services on Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service.

  4. Specify capabilities assignments for end users on Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

  5. Create an LDAP profile on the IM and Presence Service.

  6. Install Cisco Jabber.


Note

You can deploy "Jabber for Everyone" in a mixed cluster where you provision some users with only instant messaging and availability and other users with instant messaging and availability along with audio capabilities.

You should create separate service profiles for users that have only instant messaging and availability capabilities. If the service profile contains a CTI or Cisco CallManager Cisco IP Phone (CCMCIP) profile, the client attempts to retrieve device lists for users from Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If no device lists exist for users, the client continually requests device lists from the node. As a result, the node consumes additional CPU resources.



Note

Jabber for Everyone is also supported in Centralized Deployments of the IM and Presence Service. To use this option, you must be running a minimum IM and Presence Service release of 11.5(1)SU4.


Set Up Users on Cisco Unified Communications Manager

The Cisco Jabber clients retrieve user details from Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For this reason, you must add users to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, including users who are not Cisco IP phone users.

Procedure

Step 1

Add users to Cisco Unified Communications Manager using one of the following methods:

Table 3. Provisioning Methods to Add IM and Presence Users

Provisioning Method

Details

Add users via LDAP Directory Sync

Add users to the database by syncing users from a company LDAP directory. Complete the following high-level tasks:

  1. Configure UC Services such as IM and Presence Service, Voicemail, Drectory and Jabber config file (for optional Jabber feature customization).

  2. Add your UC services to a Service Profile and add the Service Profile to a Feature Group Template.

  3. Add the Service Profile to a Feature Group Template.

  4. Configure an LDAP Directory sync that includes the Feature Group Template that you configured, and which also assigns users to the Standard CCM End Users access control group.

  5. Complete an LDAP sync.

For configuration details, refer to configuring and provisioning end users sections in the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Add users via Bulk Administration

Add multiple users from a csv file with the Bulk Administration Tool.

  1. In Unified CM, configure UC services such as voicemail, directory access, IM and Presence Servie, and Jabber config files (for Jabber features).

  2. In Unified CM, add UC Services to a Service Profile.

  3. Download the BAT.xlt spreadsheet and use it to create a csv file with your end users. For the Service Profile, make sure to assign the IM and Presence-enabled profile that you set up.

  4. Use Bulk Administration to import the end users into the database.

For details on how to configure Service Profiles, see System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

For details on how to use the BAT spreadsheet to import users into the database, see the “User Additions” chapter in the Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Add users manually

Add individual users manually. See the “Manage End Users” chapter of the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager for instructions on manually adding individual users.

Step 2

If you haven't already assigned users to the Standard CCM End Users access control group, do so now.
