Adding Devices for Interfaces

This chapter describes how to add the devices that are displayed for the interfaces through which the Cisco Smart+Connected Spaces (Smart+Connected Spaces) solution is accessed.

Adding Devices for Room Panels and Cisco IP Phones

The devices configured for a particular location, with which the room panel and/or the IP phone are associated, are displayed for these interfaces. For more information, see the “Managing Configurations for a Location” section and “Adding Configurations” section in Chapter 4, “Working with Configurations”.

Adding Devices for the Calendar

The SSP_DEVICE_TYPE_MASTER table in the Smart+Connected Spaces database contains the data of all the available devices (that you add in SDP). The calendar web interface displays a device only if the appropriate device type is created in SDP and the required configurations changes are carried out. For the required configuration, ensure that:

1. The appropriate device type is created is SDP. For more information, see the “Adding a Device Type in SDP” section.

2. The value is set as ‘Y’ for each of the device type in the IS_WEB_CAL_DEVICE column of the SSP_DEVICE_TYPE_MASTER table.

Adding a Device Type in SDP

To add a device type in SDP, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Log in to SDP and click Devices > Device Types.

The List of Device Types page appears.

Step 2 In the List of Device Types page, click Create Device Type.

The Create Device Types page appears.

Step 3 Select a Device Category.

Step 4 Select the Manufacturer.

Step 5 Type an appropriate model in the Model field.

Step 6 Click Save.

The device type gets added and you get an email notification informing you about the same. An ID is also provided. This is the ID that is displayed in the DEVICE_TYPE_MASTER column in the SSP_DEVICE_TYPE_MASTER table.

Note The email notification feature is available only if the SMTP adapter is configured.

Note For more information on devices, see the Cisco Service Delivery Platform User Guide.

 

Adding Devices for Kiosks

The SPATIAL_HIERARCHY table in the Smart+Connected Spaces database contains the data of all the locations (including the list of preconfigured device types as column names) that are displayed on the kiosks. To enable a device to be displayed as available for a particular location set the value as 'Y', for the associated location and required device.
