Chapter 19 Cisco CallManager Device Mobility Introducing Device Mobility Introducing Device Mobility Cisco CallManager uses IP subnets and device pools that contain location information to determine a device home location. By linking IP subnets to locations, the system can determine whether a device is at its home location or a remote location and register the device accordingly. To support device mobility, modifications to the device pool structure separate the user information from

Chapter 19 Cisco CallManager Device Mobility Introducing Device Mobility Device Mobility Design To design an efficient device mobility structure, you must first determine how to divide the network into hierarchical groupings with distinct device mobility properties and make the proper associations among the groupings. This is done using device mobility groups, physical locations, device pools, and subnet-based device mobility information. Device Mobility Groups Device mobility groups

Chapter 19 Cisco CallManager Device Mobility Introducing Device Mobility Device Pools After the device mobility groups and physical locations are identified, you can associate them with device pools. Each device pool contains the set of parameters that apply to devices, and adding the device mobility group and physical location ties the device pool to those entities. Device Mobility Information In the final step in designing a device mobility structure, you associate subnets with the

If the device pool in the phone record matches the device pool in the matching subnet, the system considers the phone to be in its home location, and the phone retains the parameters of its home device pool. 4. If the device pool in the phone record does not match the device pools in the matching subnet, the system considers the phone to be roaming and subject to reregistration and reapplication of device para

Chapter 19 Cisco CallManager Device Mobility Interactions and Restrictions � Cisco IP Communicator Interactions and Restrictions The Device Mobility feature depends on the IP address of the device that registers with Cisco CallManager. If the device is assigned an IP address by using NAT/PAT, the IP address that is provided during registration may not match the actual IP address of the device. If Device Mobility Mode is set to Default in the IP Phone Configuration window, the Device M
