Downloading the user documentation
We recommend you visit the Cisco web site regularly for
updated versions of the user documentation. Go to:
► http://www.cisco.com/go/telepresence/docs
Guidelines how to find the documentation
on the Cisco web site are included in the
► User documentation on the Cisco web site Appendix.
Software
You can download the software for your product from the
Cisco web site. Go to:
Changes in release key policy and software upgrade
management
As from software version TC6.1, you do not need to install
new release keys; it is sufficient that the video system has a
valid release key for an earlier TC software version.
As from TC6.1 software will be available for download only
at ► http://www.cisco.com, and only for users with a valid
service contract assigned to a CCO (Cisco online connection)
ID.
Password always prompted on Telnet and SSH
When signing into the video system using Telnet or SSH, the
password will always be prompted. This applies even when
the password is empty (not set).
Support for <p> and <br> tags in messages on screen
For security reasons only <p> and <br> HTML tags are
supported in messages on screen (cf. Message Alert and
Message Prompt commands). These tags will result in line
breaks as normal. No other tags will be interpreted; they will
appear as text on the screen.
Diagnostics logging
You can use the Touch controller to enable diagnostics
logging of the video system. Diagnostics logging is meant for
troubleshooting only, and may lower the system performance
while switched on.
G.729 audio codec support in SIP calls
Support for the G.729AB audio codec is added in SIP calls in
order to provide better IP phone interoperability. G.729 is not
supported in H.323 calls.
Voice mail support and message waiting indication
Endpoints registered to a Cisco Unified Communications
Manager (CUCM) can be assigned a voice mail profile. When
receiving a Busy or No Answer signal from such an endpoint,
the call is forwarded to voice mail.
If you have a Touch controller, you can access the voice
mail by tapping the Messages icon. Also a message waiting
notification will appear.
Shared lines support in CUCM
When registered to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager
(CUCM) the endpoint may be part of a shared line. This
means that several devices in the same partition share the
same directory number. The different devices sharing the
same number receive status from the other appearances on
the line.
For example, you can set up a shared line so that many
devices share the same number and the first available
operator picks up the call (help desk). Assisted call handling,
where an administrator manages the calls for an executive
(forward, barge in) is another example. Also multiple devices
belonging to one person can share the same line, thus
allowing him/her to pick up a call on one device and resume it
on another (single number reach).
You can find information about how to set up shared
lines in the CUCM user documentation (Cisco Unified
Communications Manager System Guide).
Ad-hoc conferencing in CUCM
Endpoints registered on Cisco Unified Communications
Manager (CUCM) version 8.6.2 or later can invoke an ad-hoc
conference. This requires that a conference bridge is added
as an MCU on CUCM. Any endpoint can participate in the
conference, regardless of where they are registered.
If the number of participants drops to two, the conference will
de-escalate to a point to point call.

Support for consultative transfer
Consultative transfer is supported. A consultative transfer is
one in which the transferring party speaks with the third party
before connecting the caller to the third party.
CTI/JTAPI support (remote expert solution support)
A Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) exposes
call control of endpoints via a Java Telephony API (JTAPI).
Cisco’s JTAPI enables custom applications to monitor device
availability and control calls remotely. The following features
are supported: call, answer, disconnect, hold, resume, blind
transfer, consultative transfer and consultative conference.
Endpoints registered to a Cisco Unified Communications
Manager (CUCM) 9.0 or later support the Cisco Remote
Expert Smart Solution (version 1.8).
Refined Touch user interface
• Missed calls and message waiting indicators; direct
access to voice mail
• New dial pad, soft keyboard and improved text selector
• Encryption indicator
• Call duration indicator
• Possibility to enter a release key if a valid release key is
missing

User administration
From this page you can manage the user accounts of your
video conference system. You can create new user accounts,
edit the details of existing users, and delete users.
The default user account
The system comes with a default administrator user account
with full access rights. The username is admin and no
password is set.
It is highly recommended to set a password for the
admin us er.
Read more about passwords in the ► Setting passwords
ch apt er.
About user roles
A user account must hold one or a combination of several
user roles.
The following three user roles, with non-overlapping rights,
exist:
• ADMIN: A user holding this role can create new users and
change most settings. The user neither can upload audit
certificates nor change the security audit settings.
• USER: A user holding this role can make calls and search
the phone book. The user can modify a few settings,
e.g. adjusting the audio volume and changing the menu
language.
• AUDIT: A user holding this role can change the security
audit configurations and upload audit certificates.
Navigate to: Configuration > User Administration
Default user account
The system comes with
admin as the default user
account. This user has
full access rights.
An administrator user account with full access rights,
like the default admin user, must possess all the three
roles.
