New features and improvements

New GUI for Touch 8

A new visual design for the Touch user interface is introduced.

Tap the upper lef t corner to access the Settings menu, features like Do not disturb and Standby, and more (depending on system setup).

Password protection of the Touch Administrator menu

You must sign in with the video system’s administrator password to get access to the Administrator menu on Touch 8.

Tap the icon to activate selfview, choose a preset camera position, and pan/ tilt/zoom the camera.

Serviceability: Network status available for Touch 8

Network status for the Touch device is available from the Touch interface. This information can be used to verify that the device has an IP address and that it is receiving and sending packets to the network. You can also detect if packets are lost (dropped or in error). This can help identifying network problems that may cause issues in calls.

IPv6 and dual stack support

IPv6 and dual stack operation are fully supported, also when using ActiveControl and ICE.

Use the following settings if you want to enable dual stack operation with IPv6 as the preferred protocol:

Network 1 IPStack: Dual (enables IPv4 and IPv6 network address (default))

Conference 1 CallProtocolIPStack: Dual (enables dual stack operation for the call protocols)

SIP PreferredIPMedia: IPv6 (selects which IP version to prefer for media if both versions are supported on both ends)

SIP PreferredIPSignaling: IPv6 (selects which IP version to prefer for signaling if both versions are supported on both ends)

Support for TMS phone book when provisioned by CUCM

As from TMS (Cisco TelePresence Management Suite) release 14.4 and TC7.0, endpoints that are provisioned by CUCM (Cisco Unified Communication Manager) can use the TMS phone book.

Presentation will stop when the presentation source is disconnected

If a presentation source is disconnected or goes into standby (e.g. a PC), the presentation will automatically be ended after 10 seconds. If the source is connected or comes out of standby within 10 seconds, the presentation will automatically be resumed.

An input is available for presentation only when a content source (e.g. a PC) is connected to that input.

Setting the Administrator Settings menu password

This password restricts access to the Administrator Settings menu that is available on-screen when using the remote control.

When starting up the video conference system for the first time anyone can access these settings, because the menu password is not set.

We strongly recommend that you set a menu password, because the administrator settings may severely affect the behavior of the system.

Note that the menu password, as from software version TC7.0, applies only to the on-screen Administrator Settings menu; it does not apply to the Administrator menu on the Touch 8 controller.

You can read more about password protection in the
