Testing Desktop Connectivity

Procedure


Step 1 Verify that your video and audio peripheral equipment are connected to your desktop PC and are configured correctly.

Step 2 From a client machine (with Windows XP Service Pack 2 or higher), connect to the Desktop Server via the following URL:

http://<FQDN>/cuvm.

Step 3 Install the Desktop Client when prompted.


Note If you have not yet installed the Desktop Client or if you need to update your version of the Desktop Client, a yellow message displays on the Desktop Server entry page. Click the link to access the page from which you can install the Desktop Client.


Step 4 After installing the Desktop Client, enter a meeting ID in the Desktop Server that starts with one of this:

The prefix configured on your Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3500 Series MCU for the Desktop Server service.

A valid Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager virtual room ID.

The Desktop Client loads and your own video stream is displayed.


Note Ensure there is no firewall enabled on your machine that might block the Desktop Client.



Testing Room System Connectivity and Moderation

This procedure describes how to test room system connectivity and moderation inside an enterprise private network including its connectivity to the Desktop Server.

Procedure

Step 2 Select Moderate in the Desktop Server Live Meeting Console, and then Invite.

Step 3 Enter the E.164 address of the room system, or its IP address if it is not registered to a Gatekeeper.
