Re: [External] RE: Webex App Config XML?
I actually got a response back from my CSM and it sounds like these types of settings can be set on the back end, but through a provisioning ticket. My CSM is submitting a ticket to have the Ultrasound feature disabled. Whether that completely locks out the user from changing the setting, or provides flexibility, I don’t know but we don’t really have anyone using it with the handful of endpoints we have anyway.

I did try to use some of the Jabber parameters, but of course, that only functions when it is registered to CUCM. Correct, the EnableProximity parameter does not apply to Webex, from my testing.

Hi Tim,

If it’s registered on premise, it will use the same mechanism to pull the configuration as Jabber, but it supports only a handful of parameters.

They’re listed here:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cloudCollaboration/wbxt/ucmcalling/unified-cm-wbx-teams-deployment-guide/unified-cm-wbx-teams-deployment-guide_appendix_0100.html#id_137099

They were pretty adamant they were not going to let the application control be as granular this time, as some of the options paint the thing into a corner depending on how they’re used.

Proximity Enable isn’t listed as one of them unfortunately.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Webex App Config XML?

Hello all,

We just recently migrated to the Webex App and have found some annoyances with the settings that are default. Is there a way to customize the settings for the Webex app globally, similar to how you could setup a jabber-config.xml file? The thing we’re specifically looking for right now is how to disable the “Use ultrasound” option under Devices, but I imagine there will be more items we’d like to manipulate.

TIA,
Tim Johnson

Sounds like this should be added to the super secret list of things only your CSM can change for you.

Can you let us know how that goes? If the CSM changes it, are they changing the default to “off” and the user can change after? Or do they grey out the option?

Tim,

Not sure if you want to disable it for all the endpoints themselves, but you could create a config template to turn down the ultrasonic volume to 0.
