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.

Adding or Removing a Presentation Codec
When you add or remove a CTS presentation codec in the system configuration, you must also do so from the Unified CM administration interface. After the configuration change is complete, click Reset to sync this configuration change with the CTS codec.
Call Control Device Features for Cisco TelePresence
There are additional features that can be configured on standard Cisco TelePresence call control devices. The settings described in this document are provided specifically to configure a Touch 12 as a Cisco TelePresence device.
For complete Cisco TelePresence user options on the Touch 12, refer to the Cisco TelePresence System User Guide on cisco.com that corresponds with your system's software release.
Many of the settings also apply to the Cisco Unified IP Phone call control device. See Chapter 5 "Configuring and Managing the Cisco Unified IP Phone" for specifics.
Note
Features that are not mentioned in this or other guides are assumed to be un-supported at this time.
Software Compatibility
For complete information about software and firmware compatibility for the CTS, see the Cisco TelePresence Administration Software Compatibility Matrix on Cisco.com.
Cisco TelePresence Bandwidth Requirements
For information about Cisco TelePresence service level requirements including bandwidth, latency (delay), jitter (variations in delay), and packet loss, see the "Understanding How Endpoints Determine fps and Video Quality" section of the Administration Guide for Cisco TelePresence TX Software Release 6.0 on Cisco.com.
Device and Cluster Security Modes
During a call, the Media is Encrypted icon (closed lock) is displayed on the screen only when the Device Security mode is set to encrypted and cluster security mode is set to 1 (mixed mode). While configuring your system, check the following settings:
•
Device Security Mode should be set to Encrypted in the SIP Phone Security Profile Information field. See the "SIP Phone Security Profile Information" section for configuration information.
•
Cluster Security Mode field is set to 1 (mixed mode) in the Configuration Settings for CTL Client in Cisco Unified CM Administration > System > Enterprise Parameters. To configure and verify cluster security mode, see the Verifying the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Mode section of the Cisco TelePresence Security Solutions Guide.
Supported Unified CM Characters and Digits for the CTS Device Page
Use the information in Table 1 as a guide for supported Unified CM characters and digits that are used to configure and maintain the Cisco TelePresence system. For general Unified CM support documentation, see the Unified CM documentation roadmaps for your release on Cisco.com:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_documentation_roadmaps_list.html
Note
Unified CM no longer supports the `$' (currency symbol) in system passwords.
