In Cisco TMS: Systems > Navigator an endpoint is selected
For information about the configuration options and maintenance of each particular endpoint model, see the administrator documentation for the endpoint.
Summary
Section Description
Tickets Open tickets on the selected system. See Ticketing Service [p.127] for more information.
Settings The selected system's E.164 alias, IP URI, H.323 ID, and ISDN numbers as relevant. More settings are viewable and editable in the Settings tab.
Service Contract Status
An overview of service contract status and updates for the selected system, including expiry date, release keys for the latest major software versions, and a link to check for software updates. Possible status messages are:
n Service contract is valid and ok
n Service contract is ordered, but not invoiced
n Service contract is expired
n No service contract
n Draft
n New Revision
n Bought by current partner
n Unknown
This field is not applicable to or displayed for all systems.
This Week's Bookings
A list of all the scheduled conferences for this system for the next 7 days.
System Image
Add or replace an image to be associated with the system. If the system is an endpoint that supports snapshots, this is a simple way of visualizing which room it is located in.
Phone Books
Any phone books set on the system (only displayed for endpoints, MCUs, and gateways that support phone books).
System Contact
The details from the System Contact field in the Settings tab; name, email address, and phone number are displayed here.

View Settings and Edit Settings
The menu options View Settings and Edit Settings display mostly the same settings in a read-only and editable view respectively. Note that some settings, such as software version, are read-only in either view.
Section Description
General The most important settings for the system, such as:
n Name
n System Type
n Network Address
n Location
n System Connectivity
For endpoints that support provisioning using Cisco TMSPE, a check box labeled Provisioned is displayed.
Configuration Lists the system's software and hardware version and time of last backup and restore.
For Unified CM-registered endpoints, only the software version will be displayed.
For TelePresence Server: Operation mode: Remotely Managed or Locally Managed A TelePresence Server that is in Remotely Managed mode is only supported if it is managed by a TelePresence Conductor that is present in Cisco TMS.
Network Settings In this section you will find H.323 gatekeeper and SIP server registration information, the NTP (Network Time Protocol) server setting and IP configuration information.
For Unified CM-registered endpoints, only SIP Mode, Requested SIP Server Address, and Active SIP Server Address are displayed.
For TelePresence Server and TelePresence MCUs that are SIP-trunked to a Unified CM, the SIP Mode is read from the bridge and displayed here.
Monitoring/SNMP Settings
In this section the trap host and management IP addresses and SNMP community are found.
The trap host and management addresses should be the IP address of the Cisco TMS server that administrates the systems. Legacy Cisco TelePresence MXP endpoints use the
management address to send traps.

TMS Scheduling Settings
Allow Booking: Allows the system to be added to conferences.
Allow Incoming IP Address Dialing: Allows calls to the system to be routed using H.323 direct mode.
Allow Incoming H.323 Dialing: Allows calls to the system to be routed using an E.164 alias or H.323 ID.
Allow Incoming SIP URI Dialing: Allows calls to the system to be routed using a SIP URI.
Allow Outgoing IP Address Dialing: Allows calls from the system to be routed using H.323 direct mode.
Allow Outgoing H.323 Dialing: Allows calls from the system to be routed using an E.164 alias or H.323 ID.
Allow Outgoing SIP URI Dialing: Allows calls from the system to be routed using a SIP URI.
Note the following:
n Unchecking the Allow Booking box only affects new conferences.
n Changing any of the Dialing options could affect the routing of existing conferences.
n If you change any of the Dialing options for a system we recommend running Conference Diagnostics to identify any resulting issues with existing conferences.
Table 10: Sections in View Settings and Edit Settings (continued)
Any errors and warnings on system settings will show up as red or yellow boxes around the setting that is incorrect. Hover over the error code for a tooltip message about the problem, and how to address it.
Clicking Force Refresh updates the information displayed from the system.
For Unified CM-registered endpoints, the refreshed status is read from Unified CM. The button has no effect for endpoints behind a firewall/NAT.
An Enforce Management Settings button is available for most direct-managed systems. Clicking this button will:
n Set the Management IP address to the IP address of the current Cisco TMS server.
For Unified CM-registered endpoints, this IP address will be set as the Feedback Address instead.
n Update settings for Daylight Saving Time, Time Zone and IP address, and the paths for Phonebook Settings and External Services.
n For legacy systems that communicate with Cisco TMS using SNMP, such as Cisco TelePresence MXP systems, the Traphost IP Address is also set. This is done automatically on all systems if Enforce Management Settings on Systems is enabled in Administrative Tools > Configuration > Network Settings, see Network Settings [p.242].
Extended Settings
Extended settings are not available for all endpoint types, but typically include read-only listings of:
n Option keys
n Display parameters
n System status Compare Settings
This tab displays a comparative listing of the current settings on the system and any backed up configuration stored on the server. Any differences will be highlighted.

Navigator
If settings are already stored on the server, two buttons will be available:
n Make Backup
n Restore System
If no settings have yet been stored on the server, only Make Backup will be available.
This tab is not available for endpoints behind a firewall/NAT and Unified CM-registered endpoints.
Persistent Settings
The Persistent Settings tab is only available for Cisco TMS-controlled endpoints. Here you can enter settings that Cisco TMS will preserve for the endpoint. If any of these settings are altered on the endpoint, Cisco TMS will overwrite those changes with the settings configured here.
These persistent settings are available:
n Configuration Template: have a custom settings template applied to the system daily. For further detail, see Configuration Templates [p.141].
n System Name: the endpoint's display name.
n E.164 alias
n H.323 ID
n SIP URI
Note that settings configured as persistent will be unavailable for editing on the Edit Settings tab.
Ticket Filters
You can add or remove ticket filters for the system, if you want to hide tickets of certain types.
