If the administrator password is not set, there is an on screen
warning in the lower right corner indicating this. The warning
disappears when the password is set.
Improved video layout
• Improved local layout control when using the
Touch controller
You can easily choose between the layout options using
the Touch controller. Each option is illustrated by an icon
reflecting the actual layout.
You can choose between the predefined layout options
as well as any custom layouts that have been created for
this TelePresence system (for example created with the
TC Console application).
• Picture-in-Picture support
There is support for showing Picture-in-Picture (PIP), for
example showing a full screen presentation with both
remote video and self view as PIP.
The PIPs can be moved to predefined drop zones,
typically upper right, upper left, lower right etc. When
using a Touch controller you can see the drop zones as
you start moving the PIP.
• Changing the video layout on remote sites
When you are hosting a MultiSite conference, you can
change the video layout sent to remote sites.
• Lock Speaker function in MultiSite conferences
When you are hosting a MultiSite conference, you can
use Lock speaker to keep the large picture for the same
participant for the entirety of the call (no audio-driven
switching between participants).
• Full screen self view
Full screen self view while in call is supported on dual
monitor systems.
Support for Cisco TelePresence ISDN Link
You can pair a TelePresence system with a Cisco
TelePresence ISDN Link. As from software versions TC6.0
and IL1.1 automatic pairing mode is supported.
When making a call via ISDN Link, choose H320 (ISDN) as the
call protocol.
Secure communication in a CUCM environment
As from version TC5 endpoints running TC software can
register to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM)
version 8.6.2 or newer. In TC6.0 this feature is extended to
also include secure (encrypted) connections. The encryption
indicator is shown on the screen during a call.
This feature requires that security mode is installed and
configured on CUCM. Read the Administering TC Endpoints on CUCM 9.0 guide to find how to set up this feature.
Support for SIP URI dialing when registered to CUCM
As from Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM)
version 9.0, endpoints registered to CUCM support URI
dialing. A URI is an alias for a directory number (DN). A call
to the URI behaves as if the call was made directly to the
directory number.
URI example: conference_room@company.com. The user
name (left side) is case sensitive in CUCM 9.0, while the
domain (right side) is not.

Introduction
Dynamic bandwidth distribution in MultiSite conferences
You can choose a total bandwidth for your MultiSite
conference. The bit rate is divided equally among all the
active calls at any time. This means that the individual calls
will be up-speeded or down-speeded as appropriate when
someone leaves or enters the MultiSite conference, and
when a call is put on-hold or resumed.
Support for encrypted Cisco TelePresence Multipoint
Switch (CTMS) calls
Video systems running software TC5.0 or later are able
to initiate or join non-encrypted multiparty conferences
controlled by CTMS version 1.8 or later. Encrypted
conferences are supported as from software versions TC6.0
and CTMS 1.9.1.
The TelePresence system must have a secure registration to
VCS or CUCM to allow encrypted calls.
Troubleshooting and diagnostics
A new troubleshooting feature is introduced. The
TelePresence system runs a set of tests to detect possible
problems and provides links on the web interface to resolve
the issues.
The Mediatrace diagnostics tool
Mediatrace is a diagnostics tool that discovers the routers
and switches (layer 2 and 3 devices) along the path of an IP
flow. It collects critical information hop by hop on specific
media streams as they traverse the network. Mediatrace
should be enabled on each network node you want to collect
information from. Because the path of video data packets
from the endpoints is traced, troubleshooting is facilitated and
network performance can be optimized.
New and improved web interface features
• Local phone book management, for example creating
a folder structure, and adding, modifying or deleting
contacts.
Note that the web interface’s local phone book mirrors
the Favorites list on the Touch controller and the My
contacts folder in the OSD phone book.
• Improved interface for uploading certificates and
certificate authority lists to the TelePresence system.
• Display of diagnostics information, including links how to
resolve pending issues.
• Information about connected peripherals, e.g. Touch
controller, cameras and displays.
• Configuration interface for the Cisco TelePresence ISDN
Link gateway (only applicable if an ISDN Link gateway is
connected to the TelePresence system).

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 e r.
Read more about passwords in the ► Setting passwords
ch a pter.
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.
