Created by: Matthew J Denapoli on 20-07-2011 01:50:03 AM I had a couple of questions for you. I know that when CIUS emulator was introduced it was just an Android AVD emulator skin and so did not have any functionality beyond the stock Android 2.2 AVD emulator. Now that some of new APIs have been added, is it still limited to Android functionality? Secondly, can the emulator also be registered to the Cisco CallManager. I would like to utilize the CallManager functionality in our Android based applications. I came across a forum post where you had replied to a similar question (The forum message : http://tinyurl.com/5v8c8ub). If it is not possible to register the Emulator with CUCM, then how can we test the CIUS telephony (not Android telephony) functions without the device? In terms of testing purposes and real life situations, what are the limitations of CIUS emulator? Can I make calls ( like a real IP Phone) and test call functions like barge-in and hold or all this can only be tested on the loaner device?

My teams started a project that can be used to simulate some basic functionality, you can find documentation on those tools in the "extras" folder included with the add-on.
The problem we have is that it is very difficult to simulate some of the more complex features like Barge. So for now, we are not adding any enhancements to those tools.
For applications that use complex features it is recommended that you purchase a Cius or utilize the loaner program.

Thanks Larry for the quick reply, We did try the Remote telephony application and the cius test phone that you guys provided in the add-on. The sample application doesn't provide much information about making calls but just retrieving call information. Can you explain the procedure as to how the Cius test phone makes a call to the Remote Telephony Application (some code snippet will be really helpful)? We atleast want to try that out in our application till we get a loaner device.

We have checked sample Remote telephony application. Does it mean, if we follow the API of Remote telephony application for the CUCM calling feature in our directory application, same application will work with real Cius?

For applications that are integrating with CUCM, we recommend working with a Cius device. We will would like to send you a loaner device to aid your development. Have you requested a loaner device or should I have the loaner program contact you?
Thanks, Amanda Whaley

We are working on creating more detailed samples related to making a receiving calls. Our goal is that an application that uses the Call Control APIs on the emulator will work as expacted to work on a real Cius. The challenge we have is trying to emulate the very complex interactions for more advanced features. At this time, for advanced capabilities, it's best to have a real Cius. If the interest in emulator based tools increases, we will consider enhancing our emulator based tools. Larry M.
