Managing CTS 3000 and CTS 3200 Hardware Setup
You can manage and test the following Cisco TelePresence System components:
Before You Begin
Before you begin testing and troubleshooting your system, check the system displays. All of the Cisco TelePresence System Administration interface Hardware Setup features require the use of the displays in the meeting room. Therefore, we recommend the following:
1.
Verify that the displays work by using the Hardware Setup > Displays tests in this section.
2.
If the displays are showing the correct images, you can proceed to testing the cameras, speakers, and microphones, as needed.
Note You must test the speakers before testing the microphones because the microphone test depends on speakers that are functioning properly. See the “Testing Speakers” section.
Figure 1-1
shows an example of the Cisco TelePresence System administration tools available to assist you with troubleshooting tasks.
Figure 1-1 Troubleshooting Window
CTS initial setup is also performed using the Hardware Setup fields. For information on how to configure CTS for the first time, see the following documentation:
Managing Displays
A display is set up successfully when the color on the display has been adjusted for the lighting in the meeting room.
Note Each display must be adjusted individually.
Use the information in the following sections to adjust the display for your system:
Selecting the Light Level
When adjusting the images on the CTS display screens, you must take the color temperature of the ambient light in the room into consideration.
Sources of light in most rooms are produced by fluorescent fixtures or incandescent light bulbs that use tungsten filaments. Each of these light sources, and the amount of light in terms of lumens or watts, produces a different color temperature. This color temperature is sometimes expressed using terms such
cool
,
warm
, or
daylight
, but can be expressed more precisely in kelvins (K) as a numeric value.
The following temperatures can be selected for adjusting the image on the Cisco TelePresence display screens:
-
3500 K
-
4000/4100 K (recommended)
-
5000 K
-
6500 K
-
7500 K
Tip In many cases, the color temperature is printed on the light bulb. If you are unable to ascertain the type and color temperature of light bulbs in the meeting room, experiment with color temperature settings until the color and images on the display screen look lifelike.
Tip It is OK to try a few different color temperatures to see what looks best in the room. Remember, the Color Temperature setting only effects how the local participants see the display, it does not effect the way the room looks to remote participants.

Troubleshooting Presentation Devices
Use the information in the following sections to troubleshoot presentation devices:
Multiple Input Devices
The Cisco TelePresence System can display information from multiple input devices during a meeting. If multiple input devices are sending information, the projector displays the input from the last presentation device sending information. If an input device image is not being seen on the projector screen, try the following:
-
VGA devices—Unplug the device from the VGA cable, wait 5 seconds, and then plug the device back in.
-
Document cameras—Turn the camera off, wait 5 seconds, and restart the device.

|
CTS 3000 and CTS 3200 system projector alarms:
-
Operation Status: Failed to connect to presentation device
-
XML/RPC failure
-
Operation Status: ERROR
|
The projector serial port is not functioning properly
On CTS 3000 and CTS 3200 systems that use a Z60 projector to display external presentations, the system pushes default values to the projector every night. During these updates, the system can fail to connect to the projector. This failure creates syslog messages and can cause spurious SNMP alarms.
|
Power cycle the projector by turning the power switch on the back of the projector to the Off position, then turn back to the On position. If this problem recurs, perform another power cycle.
Note Projector functionality is not affected by the alarms. |
Note The Cisco TelePresence System can display information from multiple input devices during a meeting; if multiple input devices are sending information, the projector displays the input from the last presentation device sending information. If you do not see an image being projected on the screen, try the following:
For VGA devices, unplug the device from the VGA cable, wait 5 seconds, and then plug the device back in.
For document cameras, turn the camera off, wait 5 seconds, and then restart the device. |
Tip Presentation devices automatically shut off when there is no longer a video signal to that presentation device. An on-screen timer counts down the remaining time to shut-down. The amount of time that it takes a device to shut down depends on your Unified CM configuration. Most CTS devices that support PiP shut down in 10 to 15 seconds after the video signal is removed. Devices on the CTS 3000 and CTS 3200 series that have black boxes associated with the auxiliary control take 5 minutes to shut down. See the Product Specific Configuration Layout section of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide for the Cisco TelePresence System for more information about controlling presentation devices and associated displays. |

Presentation fails to display in some resume scenarios.
|
This is expected behavior.
|
In early CTS software releases, a CTS with its presentation device plugged in would always ask to present when it did a resume.
Presentation device functionality is changed. When a CTS goes on hold, the presentation device takes note whether or not it was the active presenter:
-
If the presentation device was the active presenter when it went on hold, it will ask to present again when taken off hold and the presentation will be shown when the meeting resumes.
-
If it was not the active presenter, it will not ask to present and the presentation will not be shown when the meeting resumes.
|
-
Administration login can be slow when presenting during point-to-point secure calls.
|
This is expected behavior.
|
Administration CLI login can take as much as 60 seconds during point-to-point secure calls when a hold/resume is performed while presenting.
|
Tip Other devices automatically shut off when there is no longer a video signal to that device. An on-screen timer counts down the remaining time to shut-down. The amount of time that it takes a device to shut down depends on your Unified CM configuration. Most CTS devices that support PiP shut down in 10 to 15 seconds after the video signal is removed. Devices on the CTS 3000 and CTS 3200 series that have black boxes associated with the auxiliary control take 5 minutes to shut down.
