Cisco TelePresence Endpoint Cisco TelePresence Endpoint Characteristics
Characteristics
Much of the growth Cisco has experienced throughout the years has been attributed to key acquisitions. In doing so, Cisco has developed a vast range of product offerings for custom-ers to choose from. In addition, Cisco differentiates between Unified Communications (UC) endpoints and TelePresence endpoints. And if that is not confusing enough, there are sig-nificant differences between Cisco TelePresence endpoints as well.
This chapter discusses TelePresence endpoints within Cisco’s product line. This chapter notes key differences between the software bases for each product grouping, identifies what call control servers can be used for each product grouping, and discusses relative char-acteristics for each endpoint.

Caution
Caution The goal of self-assessment is to gauge your mastery of the topics in this chapter. If you do not know the answer to a question or are only partially sure of the answer, you should mark that question as wrong for purposes of the self-assessment.
Giving yourself credit for an answer you correctly guess skews your self-assessment results and might provide you with a false sense of security.

parameters necessary for provisioning to work. In addition, TMS creates two databases:
TMS Agent and SQL. This is a second sequence of SQL dedicated exclusively to TMSPE.
The first step in configuring provisioning is to establish replication between TMS and the VCS. To enable replication, the VCS must have the device provisioning option key installed.
This option key enables two databases on the VCS, TMS Agent, and Open DS. To estab-lish replication, on TMS go theSystem menu and theNavigator submenu. Click the VCS, and then click theProvisioning tab. Configure the settings displayed on this page. A visual confirmation will indicate replication is established. Figure 7-3 illustrates the provisioning configuration settings on TMS, along with the visual confirmation indicating replication has been established.
Figure 7-3
Figure 7-3 Replication Configurations on TMS to the VCS
Information that is replicated between the VCS and TMS include user account information, phonebooks, and the availability of provisioning licenses, which exist on TMS. This infor-mation is stored on the Open DS and SQL databases enabled with provisioning.
Once replication has been established, the next step is to configure the provisioning data-base on TMS. This can be found by navigating to theSystem menu and theProvisioning submenu. The Provisioning submenu has three options: Users, FindMe, and Devices. The Users option is where all the configurations for Jabber Video for TelePresence need to be configured. The elements that need configured here include groups, users, user settings, configuration templates, and schemas. Groups are used to segregate users based on varying privilege levels that will be assigned to them using templates. If all users will share the same
Chapter 7: Cisco TelePresence Endpoint Characteristics 171
7 7 privileges, no additional groups need to be configured. User settings are the URI schemes
that will be used for dialing and identifying Jabber Video for TelePresence clients. These URI patterns are template based so that they can be applied to all users within a group.
Schemas are sets of configuration options based on the system type and version being used.
For each schema used, a template must be configured. Templates are the configurations settings that will be applied to a group of users. Each schema must have at least one tem-plate associated with it, but schemas can support multiple temtem-plates as well. Users can be configured manually or integrated through a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, like Microsoft Active Directory (AD).
To create groups, select theroot group, and then click theAdd Group button at the top of the left column. When the pop-up window appears, enter the group name and clickSave. Once a group has been created, users can be added to that group. To add a manual user, click theAdd User button at the top of the left column. The top three fields must be con-figured at a minimum. They are Display Name, User Name, and Password. ClickSave when finished. Figure 7-4 shows the Add Group and Add User buttons, along with the manual user configuration pop-up window.
Figure 7-4
Figure 7-4 Adding Groups and Users to TMS
To integrate LDAP users, click theConfigure button under the User Import menu in the right column. Select the type from the drop-down list of choices. They are Active Directory (AD), Active Directory with Kerberos (Secure AD), and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Fill in the configuration fields presented on the pop-up window and click Save. Once complete, synchronization with the LDAP server can be initiated by clicking the Sync Now button. Figure 7-5 shows the configuration fields needed for AD integration.

Now that groups and users have been added to the provisioning directory, user settings can be configured. In the right column, clickEdit under User Settings. At a minimum, the video address pattern and device address pattern must be configured. The video address pattern is the address that will be displayed on a destination endpoint when in a call. The device address pattern is the address that will be used to dial provisioned devices. Typically, these patterns are configured the same. ClickOK when finished. Figure 7-6 shows how these user settings are configured.

Figure 7-6 User Settings Configuration
Now you can add schemas. At the bottom of the left column, click theConfiguration Templates menu. Click theAdd Schema button at the top of the left column, browse to where the schema is located on your computer, and then clickOK. Figure 7-7 shows how to browse for schemas.

Figure 7-7 How to Browse for Schemas
After all schemas have been uploaded to TMS, templates can be created based on these schemas. Select a schema, and then click theAdd Template button at the top of the left column. Configure a name for the template and clickOK. Select the template that was just created in the right column, and clickEdit Configurations below the Configurations sec-tion. Configure all the configuration settings needed and clickSave. Many setting options within a template can be configured. Cisco recommends three settings be configured at a minimum. Those three settings are the SIP Server Address, Presence Server URI, and the Phone Book Server URI. Figure 7-8 shows how to configure templates.
