"The Cisco Unity Connection license file(s) that are installed do not allow you to use U.S. English for language-specific Connection features, and no other languages are installed. Do one of the following:
Download and install one or more Connection languages. Languages for your version of Connection, as well as documentation on how to install them, are available at http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center-sw-voice.shtml.
If you have one or more license files that allow you to use U.S. English, go to the Licensing page and install them now.
If you do not have additional license files and you want to use U.S. English, contact your Cisco account team to purchase a license upgrade that allows you to use U.S. English."

Who Needs English
Looks like I have encountered a licensing issue. Upgrading Unity Connection, customer is in the United States, Unity gives this error.
Price of an IPv4 address $11.25
Microsoft has just bought more than half a million IPv4 addresses from Nortel Networks for $7.5 million (or $11.25 per address), as part of Nortel’s bankruptcy proceedings. Internet IPv4 addresses are hard to come by these days, notes ZDNet’s Steven Vaughan, so it’s no surprise that Microsoft bought 666,624 of them as demand for Internet addresses increases.

Google Custom Search Engine - Add it to Chrome and Maybe Other Browsers
As part of this blog page, I created a Google Custom Search Engine. You can too at the Google Custom Search Engine page.. My Google CSE searches (as of tonight) 69 different web sites and domains. I have included sites relating to Cisco, HP, EMC, NetApp, and VMware. These include the vendor sites, related youtube sites, wikipedia, partner and consulting companies sites, and many blog sites. In total, 78 web sites are searched.
You can add the Google Custom Search Engine to your browser. The search URL is:

Virtual Desktop at My House?
As a typical geeky network engineer, I enjoy those times when the awesome technology I work with makes its way home. I remember in the late 90's introducing my wife to the joys of a dial up modem and the Internet. Years later I brought home a Linksys Wireless Router and Comcast Broadband Internet Connection. She wasn't that impressed when I said the cable Internet connection was faster than the T1 I used at work.
I need to preface this with, we have five girls, 10 months to 9yrs. They are very technologically advanced. For Christmas, the four oldest got Apple iPod iTouchs.
The girls like to use our laptops to go to nickjr.com and starfall.com. Ok, we can handle it, we have two laptops, we can all share. Oh No!!! It was World War III in our living room. Four girls, two laptops, "Daaadddd she has been playing for a long time!!"
By the time you read this, we are the proud owners of a 1/4 acre of land with a hole in it. We are building a house. My wife is doing a wonderful job designing the kitchen, selecting flooring, and picking paint colors.
I am working on the technology for the house. Fresh off the girls fighting for laptops, I wondered what could be done. Then the light bulb went off, Virtual Desktop! Why can't we have four Virtual Desktop terminals? I wouldn't have to worry about the kids deleting programs or documents, messing up configurations, and the static nature of having terminals, monitors, keyboard, and mice physically located in their own space.
So I am exploring my home based VDI initiative. I am not sure what I am getting into financially. I can piece together some physical servers with VMware. I need to find some terminals, possible Wyse devices.

Telex Radio Dispatch System Integration with Cisco Unified Communications. Part 2
After much research, calls to our Cisco SE, a PDI case, and a conference call with Telex we have decided...
We are going to implement Telex SIP softphones on the desktops. This will provide the best solution short of rigging up some cables connecting the Cisco IP Phone headset port and auxiliary port to the Telex ADHB-4 box. Telex stated this solution has been available for five years but has only caught on in the last year.
Running this system on SIP softphones leaves me a little unsettled, I am somewhat comforted because Telex seems to be releasing updates to their software on a regular basis. This tells me they are actively fixing problems.
The main downside to this solution is the Cisco UCCX Call Center version 8.5 doesn't support 3rd party SIP phones. I can't say that I blame the UCC Business Unit since this could require testing and certifying many 3rd party SIP phones. In this testing, of course some vendors would be left out, customers would complain, and this would pull key staff away from fixing bugs and preparing the next version.
So I will configure CallManager, excuse me, Unified Communications Manager, with 3rd party SIP devices for the Dispatchers' SIP softphones.
We have two UCMs and the softphones allow for one entry for a SIP server, either IP Address or Domain Name. I read up on creating DNS server entries for SIP servers, so I think I will try creating one DNS SIP SVR entry for two IP addresses.
An email from Cisco referred to the Cisco Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS). This system is basically and Cisco UC systems with some Radio over IP integration. Without any experience on this, I this this is a very good and viable option, however the customer has already purchased a solution supporting the Radio, RoIP, and operator console functions. We are just trying to integrate telephony into the system.
Stay tuned...We will see how the Telex SIP softphones cooperate with Cisco UCM 8.5 (did I mention we are doing the Cisco UC on UCS with Cisco UCS-C servers?
FYI...I am also frustrated Cisco doesn't support Cisco Unified Enterprise Attendant Console server installed on the same Cisco UCS-C Class server which also have Cisco UCS installed on them....
While Cisco supports UxAC running on VMware, it is only supported on Cisco UCS-B or UCS-C servers. These servers can not have other Cisco UC systems loaded on them (same host server)...hhmmm....Such is the question...Install CxAC on Cisco UCS servers with VMware, (which is supported) or on Cisco UCS servers without Cisco UC apps are not installed
but not on those servers have other Cisco UC applications (which is not supported), Install on VMware with other Cisco UCS servers (which is permitted) or install on
