The Profile Personal Communication Manager Service object is a child of the Persistent Profile object. It defines a standard set of configuration parameters for Personal Communication Manager (PCM) that can be used by one or more Individual Lines or Business Group Lines. (PCM does not apply to Teen Service Lines, MADNs, MLHG Pilot DNs, or PBXs.)
![]() |
The Personal Communication Manager service cannot be used by a SIP subscriber who is permitted to register multiple times (Maximum simultaneous registrations is set to a value greater than 1). Do not enable both Personal Communications Manager (in this object) and multiple registrations (in the parent Persistent Profile object). |
For each field in the profile, you can either specify an explicit value or choose Use default. The default value for each field is normally the same as the system-defined default for the equivalent field if you are configuring a subscriber without using a persistent profile. The only exception to this is that, if you are using the profile to configure a Business Group Line, the default value is derived from the overall Business Group configuration (which may in turn be derived from a profile used by the Business Group).

Description |
Personal Communication Manager - Subscribed | Change | Specifies whether this subscriber is permitted to use PCM. (This service allows the subscriber to manage calls and call services from a PC-based application.) Choose Use default or specify a value:
|
Personal Communication Manager - Service Level | Change | The PCM Service Level used by this subscriber. Choose Use default or click on the ellipsis symbol at the end of the field to select from the list of Service Levels. |
Personal Communication Manager - SIP domain name | Change | The SIP domain name used by this subscriber's PCM. Typically this is a DNS hostname that resolves to the MetaSwitch NE's virtual IP address, or the IP address of a Session Border Controller through which the PCM accesses the NE. It must match one of the domain names that were supplied to your MetaSwitch support representative when ordering the license for this subscriber's Service Level. Choose Use default or specify a value. The domain name is used to generate the PCM's authentication key for connecting to the MetaSwitch NE. If you change this name, you will need to update the Personal Communication Manager Service for all subscribers that use this profile (unless the subscriber's PCM configuration overrides the domain name in the profile), re-entering the password to regenerate the authentication key. |
Media Gateway Model | Change | The Media Gateway Model used by this subscriber's PCM program. Choose Use default or select from the displayed list of SIP Media Gateway Models. To indicate that the Media Gateway Model should be selected by matching against the SIP User Agent string provided when the SIP device registers with the MetaSwitch NE, select Derived from SIP User Agent from the list. If you change the Media Gateway Model in a profile used by a subscriber who is already in a call, this call continues using the existing model. The new model is used from the start of the subscriber's next call. |
