© 2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. IPTX v Summary The Cisco CallManager Express system can be configured in a fashion similar to a key switch, PBX, or a hybrid of both. The simplest deployment will have a single site with one Cisco CallManager Express router and up to 240 phones. Cisco CallManager Express communicates with CUE via the SIP protocol. Cisco CallManager Express can be integrated with Cisco CallManager. The Cisco CallManager Express system can be migrated to an SRST router with the migrating phones being under the control of Cisco CallManager. Cisco CallManager does not support H.450 protocols. When integrating with Cisco CallManager Express, this can be dealt with by hairpinning calls or a tandem gateway.
