Cisco Phone Designer in Windows 7 64-bit

By default, you cannot run Cisco Phone Designer on Windows 7 64-bit.  Even if you try to set the compatibility mode to XP, it still won't work.  Here is the solution.

Open a command prompt, and type the following:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\x64\corflags.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco Unified Phone Application\phonedesigner.exe" /32BIT+ /force

Once you enter this command, you will see this output:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\x64\corflags.exe" "C:\Pro
gram Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco Unified Phone Application\phonedesigner.exe
" /32BIT+ /force
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework CorFlags Conversion Tool.  Version  3.5.21022.8

Note - The path may be different, so you may have to browse your folder structure to find the actual location of corflags.exe on your PC.  Any recently updated Windows 7 PC should have it.  I believe you get it with the .NET downloads and/or associated SDKs.

Thanks for the tip - just used to it run Phone Designer (now end-of-life, apparently) on my Win7 64-bit laptop at the office. Ah, the perks of being in IT :)

Try this app:

I tried and it works great! So you can use your iPhone as your IP phone background

I tried this and the application now launches, but it does not want to communicate with my phone (I can authenticate and everything, but it will not communicate with my device). Any thoughts?

Tanya, when you say it doesn't communicate with your phone, what do you mean? Do you get an error message. If so, what does it say? And, what model of phone is it?

if the above comment is not working, then try this

Open up command prompt and type this command

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Ldr64.exe SetWow

Now you should be able to run apps that use only the .NET 32 bit CLR.

To revert back to the default 64 bit framework run

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Ldr64.exe Set64

Chunming,

Verify CUCM is setup correctly:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cupa/phone_designer/7-1/english/install/guide/Installation_Guide/PD1chapter.html

Then, make sure your CUCM End User account is associated with the MAC address of the phone you are trying to work with. Your username and password will be your End User account in CUCM. The IP address will be your CUCM publisher server.

How to SSH into a Cisco IP Phone

Here are the steps to let you SSH into a Cisco IP Phone.  In this example, the phone model is a 7961. On the phone's device page in ccmadmin, scroll down to the Secure Shell Information section and type in a username and password for the Secure Shell User and Secure Shell Password . I simply used cisco and cisco . Then, scroll down to the bottom and set the SSH Access  drop-down box to Enabled .  Don't forget to Save and Apply Config. Scroll back up to the top of the page and get the phone's IP address. Open an SSH session to the phone's IP address.  You will probably get a typical key message window that you will have to accept. Enter the username and password that you specified in the Secure Shell User and Secure Shell Password boxes on the phone's device page in ccmadmin. You will then be prompted for another login and pasword from within your SSH session window.  Enter  default  for the login and user  fo...

Upgrade from CUCM 8.6.2.21900-5 to 9.1.1.10000-11 (Part 9 of 9)

Just thought I'd post a log file from a recent CUCM 8.6.2.21900-5 to 9.1.1.10000-11 upgrade.  I had the ISO uploaded to the ESXi datastore, mounted it to the virtual CD drive, and ran the upgrade from the OS Administration GUI.
