Introduction

Figure 3-1 shows the options available from the Configuration window.

Figure 3-1 Configuration Window

IP Settings

The IP Settings window displays the MAC address and hostname supplied for the Cisco TelePresence system.

Network software needs a static address, even though it is not necessary for dynamic address assignment, but using a static address allows the Cisco IP phone to be configured and discovered as a device in the network, rather than as a router.

---

Note You must restart the CTS after configuring a static IP address for the address to take effect.

Table 3-1 describes the IP address and DHCP settings for the Cisco TelePresence system uplink to your network.

Network Settings

Choose Network Settings to view the operational VLAN ID and the administrative VLAN ID.

Operational VLAN ID

This field provides a display-only VLAN ID that is standard for networks with a Cisco Unified  IP phone.

Administrative VLAN ID

CTS needs to know its VLAN membership ID before it can proceed with a DHCP request for an IP address. This field contains the administrative VLAN ID for CTS.

To restore the administrative VLAN ID setting displayed when you opened this window, click Reset.

To register a new or modified setting, click Apply.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) Settings

Choose Unified CM Settings to view or configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager settings for this Cisco TelePresence system.

Table 3-2 describes the fields and settings expected in this window.
