UCM6XXX Basic Configuration Guide
OVERVIEW
This document will provide instructions on how to set up a UCM6XXX series from an out of the box state to a
fully functional state. This includes design considerations, creating user extensions, provisioning endpoints with
Zero-Config, conferencing, auto attendant configuration, analog/VoIP trunks, routing inbound/outbound calls
and voicemail/fax to email setup.
For detailed information in regard to parameters that are encountered in this guide, please check one of the
UCMs User Manual.
SETUP GUIDE SCENARIO
The image below shows the most typical setup where you have the UCM6XXX series WAN port connected to
the Internet and the LAN side of the UCM6XXX series providing DHCP.
We will use this scenario to setup a Grandstream GXP2135 which will be connected to the LAN side of the
UCM6xx series. There can also be a network switch connected to the LAN port of the UCM6xxx series so that
there may be more than one device connected.

CREATE USER EXTENSION
Configure Extension Range
First part of configuring the UCM62xx series should be about planning for expansion. Here are some questions
to think about when setting up extension ranges:
How many users are in the office?
Will there be departments within the office?
Is this office interconnecting with another office?
Once there’s a clear picture of how many users will be at each location, how departments are going to be
segmented and what’s the expected growth of the company, a user can then configure the extension range.
Navigate to PBX Settings General Settings Extension Preference.
Figure 5: Create User Extension – Extension Range
In the figure above, the user extension range is set with a starting extension of 1000 and ending at 6299. This

P a g e | 8
UCM6XXX Basic Configuration Guide
allows up to 5299 extensions to assign to users. Users can configure any extension range as they desire. Here
we’ve configured it to use four-digit extensions with a leading 1.
Click Save and then Apply Changes at the top so that our extension range will be ready for the next steps.
Batch & Single User Creation
So now that there are extension ranges configured, we can now begin creating users to prepare for the
provisioning process. There are two methods of creating a user. One method would be creating a single user.
The other method would be creating a batch of users.
Steps on Adding Single User
1. Navigate to Extension / Trunk Extensions. For first time setups users will see “No Data”.
Figure 6: Create User Extension – Extensions
2. Click on “Add”
3. Choose Create New SIP Extension.
4. On the “Create New SIP Extension” screen, users can enter in quite a few options, but they are not required
for this tutorial. Click “Save” at the bottom of the page.

P a g e | 9
UCM6XXX Basic Configuration Guide
Figure 7: Create User Extension – Create New User
After clicking “Save” the Extensions page will display with the single SIP extension that was just created. Here
the user has the ability to edit the extensions by clicking the at the right.
Figure 8: Create User Extension – Created Single User
Steps on Adding Batch of Users
1. Navigate to Extension / Trunk Extensions.
2. Click on “Add”button .

P a g e | 10
UCM6XXX Basic Configuration Guide
3. Choose “Batch” under “Basic Settings” “Select Add Method”.
4. At the “Batch Add SIP Extensions” dialog, the user can specify the “Extension” and the number of
extensions to generate by setting the “Create Number”.
In this tutorial we will have a starting extension of 1001 and have the UCM6XXX series generate 5 extensions
with a password randomly generated. This would create extensions 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004 and 1005.
Figure 9: Create User Extension – Batch Add User
5. Click “Save” button to have the UCM6XXX series generate the extensions.
6. Next, a prompt will appear asking “Are you sure you want to create users: 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004 1005”.
Click “OK”.
Figure 10: Create User Extension – Create User Prompt
At this point the Extensions page should look similar to this:

UCM6XXX Basic Configuration Guide
PROVISIONING & ZERO CONFIG
Grandstream SIP Devices can be configured via Web interface as well as via configuration file through
TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS download. All Grandstream SIP devices support an XML format configuration file. The
UCM6XXX provides a Plug and Play mechanism to auto-provision the Grandstream SIP devices in a zero
configuration manner by generating XML config file and having the phone to download it. This allows users to
finish the installation with ease and start using the SIP devices in a managed way.
To provision a phone, three steps are involved, i.e., discovery, assignment and provisioning. The UCM6XXX
creates XML config file to the detected/assigned Grandstream device and accomplishes the following
configurations on the device after the provisioning:
A UCM6XXX extension will be assigned and registered on the phone.
SIP-related network settings such as "NAT traversal" and "Use Random Port" are configured on the
phone.
Call settings such as "Dial Plan" and "Auto Answer".
LDAP client configurations will be set up automatically on the phone to use the default LDAP directory
generated in the UCM6XXX LDAP server.
This section explains how zero config works on the UCM6XXX. The settings for this feature can be accessed
via Web GUI  Value-added Features Zero Config.
Auto Discovering
When referring back to our typical scenario in the beginning of this tutorial, we know that there is a GXP2135
connected to the LAN side of the UCM62xx series. The UCM6XXX series LAN interface has DHCP enabled
and has assigned the GXP2135 with an IP address. By default, the IP assigned would be within the 192.168.2.X
range. When the UCM6XXX series offers an IP address to the phone it also offers DHCP Option 66, which
provides the phone with a config server path that points to the UCM6XXX series. All of Grandstream VoIP
devices have Option 66 turned on by default and this is how the GXP2135 was discovered by the UCM6XXX.
Upon being discovered, the GXP2135 will provide details about its MAC, IP Address, Version (Firmware),
Vendor, Model, Connection Status and Create Config. By navigating to Value-added Features Zero Config,
a user will be able to see the discovered device(s).

P a g e | 13
UCM6XXX Basic Configuration Guide
Figure 12: Provisioning with Zero Config – Auto Discovery
Extension Assignment
In the Auto Provision settings, users have the option to enable “Automatically Assign Extension”. If enabled,
an extension will be created and assigned to the new device detected. This is a great feature if specific
extension assignment isn’t required, but for our setup we’ll work on manually assigning an extension to a
discovered device.
Navigate to Value-added Features Zero Config and click on the for the discovered device.
The next screen provides details of the device and also allows a user to assign an extension. Since our
GXP2135 is a 4-line phone, the UCM6XXX series gives us the option to assign 4 extensions to the phone.
Figure 13: Provisioning with Zero Config – Extension Assignment

P a g e | 14
UCM6XXX Basic Configuration Guide
Check Account 1 and select the desired extension, then click “Save”. Now the Zero Config page displays the
device with an extension assigned to it on Account 1.
Figure 14: Provisioning with Zero Config – Manually Assigned Extension
After assigning an extension, the phone may be rebooted in order to pick up the configuration file from the
UCM6XXX series. During this process, the phone will boot up, request for config file, download the config file,
then reboot once more in order to apply the changes.
After the phone is completely booted, navigate to Extension / Trunk  Extensions page to see the extension
status. The SIP status will show a green circle for a successful registration.

5. Click “Save” at the bottom then “Apply Changes” at the top.
We should now have a conference room created and the status page will display the following:
Figure 17: Conference Bridge – Create New Conference Room
With the phone that is registered to the UCM6XXX series, dial the conference room extension. For this
example, we will dial 6300. The user will hear a prompt for the conference password. Depending on the user,
the regular password or admin password can be entered.
During a conference call, the admin can log in to the UCM6XXX series and view the conference room status.
This provides the admin with details on which conference room is active, who the participants are and the
conference call’s current duration.
Besides status information, the admin has several conference managements tools. By clicking the button,
the admin can invite other users to the conference. Clicking will kick the selected user from the conference.
When clicking or button the admin will mute/unmute the specific user.
