So I have started playing with the latest version of Cisco Configuration Professional. It is a free download for managing ISR Routers. I wish it worked on the UC520! It is a nice improvement on the Quick Config Tool used previously with ISR routers. The Quick Config Tool is still available but only supports Unified Communications Manager Express up to version 4.1. CCP is sort of a cross between QCT and the CCA tool used for the UC520. You can use it for initial config and ongoing maintenance from a GUI interface.
