How Many Simulated IP Phones Do I Need?
The number of simulated IP phones you need to define in Cisco Unified Communications Manager/Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Express depends on the number of tests you plan to configure. Different types of
confidence tests need a different number of IP phones. See Table 4.
A predefined MAC address range has been set aside for these IP phones so that it does not clash with any of the
real IP phones or devices in the network. The MAC address range that is available for synthetic testing is between
00059a3b7700 and 00059a3b8aff.
It is recommended that you input the description for these IP phones as Operations Manager Simulated Phone
when they are configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager/Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Express so that it is distinct from the descriptions of other IP phones in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager/Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express. The phones to be used in confidence testing must be
configured as 7960 phones in Cisco Unified Communications Manager/Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Express.

Creating Synthetic IP Phones in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
To define simulated phones in Cisco Unified Communications Manager for the synthetic tests, do the following:
