Administrators use the CTMS Administration software to configure, to maintain, to monitor and to
troubleshoot multipoint switching. Administrative tasks include the following:
OL-12586-02
• Configuring system settings. These tasks include configuring general system settings, Cisco
TelePresence Manager (CTS-Manager) settings, and access management settings (such as
administrative roles), System settings tasks are described in “Chapter 4: Configuring CTMS
Administration Software.”
• Managing meetings. These tasks include defining meeting templates, defining static and ad hoc
meetings and managing active meetings, as well as being able to observe information about
scheduled meetings. Meeting management tasks are described in “Chapter 5: Managing Meetings.”
• Monitoring the system. These tasks include restarting the system and monitoring a variety of system
processes. System monitoring tasks are described in “Chapter 6: Monitoring CTMS System
Processes.”
• Troubleshooting the system. These tasks include monitoring system errors and log files to determine
the causes of system errors. Troubleshooting is described in “Chapter 7: Troubleshooting the CTMS
System.”
Prior to configuring CTMS Administration software, you must configure Cisco Unified

User Interface
Administrative Roles
CTMS administration software recognizes three different administrative roles; access to task folders is
dependent on defined administrative roles.
• Administrators: Administrators have the authority to perform all tasks associated with CTMS,
including configuring system settings, managing multipoint meetings, maintaining, monitoring and
troubleshooting CTMS. Administrators have access to all folders in CTMS Administration software.
• Meeting Scheduler: Meeting Schedulers have the authority to perform multipoint meeting
management tasks, such as defining meeting templates, and setting up (and breaking down, as
necessary) ad hoc, static and scheduled meetings. Meeting Schedulers have access to the Meeting
Management folder in CTMS Administration software.
• Diagnostic Technicians: Diagnostic Technicians have the authority to perform CTMS monitoring
and troubleshooting tasks. Diagnostic Technicians have access to the Troubleshooting and
Monitoring folders in CTMS Administration software.
Administrative role configuration is described in “Chapter 4: Configuring CTMS Administration
Software.”
Chapter 1 Using CTMS Administration Software

Overview
• Configuring a Route Pattern, page 2-16
Before installing the CTMS Administration software on your Cisco MCS-7845 Media Convergence
Server, you need to perform the following configuration tasks in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager (Unified CM):
• Create a SIP security profile. This security profile will be used on the SIP trunk between CTMS and
Unified CM.
• Create a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunk. The SIP trunk is used for communication between
Unified CM and CTMS.
• Create route patterns. A route pattern comprises a string of digits (an address) and a set of associated
digit manipulations that route calls to a route list or a gateway. Route patterns are used for routing
conferences numbers to the CTMS.

a specific static IP address and press the Enter key. Enter the following information:
• Hostname: Hostname of the CTMS server
• IP Address: IP address of the CTMS server
• IP Mask: Subnet mask for the CTMS server IP address
• Gateway Address: IP address for the gateway to the CTMS server
Select Okay and press the Enter key to continue.
Step 7 DNS Client: Select Yes and press the Enter key. Enter the following information:
• Primary DNS: IP address of the primary DNS server
• Secondary DNS: IP address of the secondary DNS server
• Domain: Domain name for your company
Select Okay and press the Enter key to continue.
