CME Configuration for Mobility Services
Setting Up the Radius Accounting
The Cisco CME and its underlying IOS platform can be setup to generate accounting packets for
the calls being handled within the system. These accounting messages can provide information on
the start-time and end-time of the calls as well as the caller/called numbers. The accounting
messages are sent to RADIUS servers using a standard protocol.

The Unified CallConnector Presence Server has an integrated RADIUS server interface to connect
with and receive these Radius accounting messages from the Cisco CME systems.
