2. Select software and choose whether to download now or add it to your cart.

DHCP Connectivity

Provide a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to achieve connectivity. CTS uses DHCP by default. If no DHCP server is available, refer to your system assembly guide's First Time Setup chapter, in the section that instructs how to use a static IP network address.

For CTS 500-32, 1300-47, 1310-65, and TX9x00 systems: Refer to your system assembly guide's First Time Setup chapter.

For CTS 500-37, 1x00, 1300-65, 30x0, and 32x0 systems: Refer to Configuring a Static IP Address for Networks That Do Not Use DHCP.

COP (Loads) File Download

The Cisco Options Package (COP) file is a mechanism for installing files on a Unified CM in a secure manner. See Chapter 3 "Loading Cisco Options Package (COP) Files on the Cisco TelePresence System" for complete information.

Call Control Device Requirements

All new Cisco TelePresence Systems which use the Cisco TelePresence Touch 12 for call control take 6 units of the Unified CM unit license:

0 units for the Cisco TelePresence Touch device

6 units for the Cisco TelePresence unit

All existing Cisco TelePresence Systems which use the IP Phone for call control take 11 units of the Unified CM unit license:

5 units for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970/7975

6 units for the Cisco TelePresence unit

You can configure the system and the Cisco Unified IP Phone as a shared line in Cisco Unified CM.


Note When using the IP Phone, please note the following:

For all SCCP and SIP firmware upgrades from firmware release versions earlier than 8.3(3) to version 8.5(3) or a later release, you must first upgrade your firmware to version 8.5(2). Once you have upgraded to version 8.5(2), you can upgrade your Cisco Unified IP Phone to version 8.5(3) or a later release.

See the Installation Notes section of the Cisco Unified IP Phone Release Notes for Firmware Release 8.5(3) (SCCP and SIP) for download instructions.


MAC Address

Make sure the MAC address of the device you are installing is known or available:

The MAC address comprises a unique 12-character hexadecimal number that identifies a Cisco Unified IP phone or other hardware device.

Locate the MAC address number on a label on the back of the Cisco TelePresence system primary codec (for example, 000B6A409C405). Unified CM makes the MAC address a required field for Cisco Unified IP phone device configuration.

The MAC address is also displayed on the CTS main display screen during boot-up.


Note When entering the MAC address in Unified CM fields, do not use spaces or dashes, and do not include any other characters that may precede the MAC address on the label.


Unified Communications Manager and MIDlets Download


Note This section pertains only to systems that uses a Cisco Unified IP phone for call control. If your system uses a Cisco Touch device for call control, skip this section.


Make sure that Unified CM is running and is using supported software for your release. For complete Cisco TelePresence software compatibility information, see the software support matrix on the Cisco TelePresence Administration Software page at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps8332/products_device_support_tables_list.html

You must download and configure MIDlets to enable all available features on your CTS Cisco Unified IP phone. The supported MIDlet version is embedded in the software files that are available when you click Download Software on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Support page at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/tsd_products_support_series_home.html

Or navigate to Products > Voice and Unified Communications > IP Telephony > Call Control > Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CallManager) > Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version x.x > Unified Communications Manager/CallManager Device Packages.

Check the following:

The Cisco TelePresence device name in Unified CM follows the following format: The characters "SEP" followed by the device MAC address. Assign the hostname so that it is resolvable by Domain Name System (DNS), for example:"

MAC address: " 000DD12345A1 "

Cisco TelePresence Host Name: " SEP000DD12345A1 "


Note DNS (domain) is optional.
