How Many Simulated IP Phones Do I Need?
The number of simulated IP phones you need to define in Cisco Unified Communications Manager and 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 6.
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.
We recommend that you enter the description for these IP phones as Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance
Simulated Phone when you configure them in Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Express, so that the description is distinct from the descriptions of other IP phones.
The phones to be used in confidence testing must be configured as 7960 phones in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express.
