system settings, and the new features and improvements in
the Cisco Collaboration Endpoint software version 9 (CE9)
compared to CE8.
For more details, we recommend reading the Software
release notes:
The user interfaces on the Touch 10, on screen, and
on integrated touch screens have been updated. The
main menu items on the home screen have been
replaced with more prominent activities.
Some of the settings have been removed from the
Touch 10 advanced settings menu to align with the
on-screen display menu.
Wakeup on motion detection
Wakeup on motion detection senses when a person
walks into the conference room and the video system
wakes up automatically. You need to enable the
following setting for this feature to work:
xConfiguration Standby WakeupOnMotionDetection
You can’t manually set the video system in standby
when this feature is enabled.

How to administer the video system
In general, we recommend you to use the web interface
to administer and maintain the video system, as
described in this administrator guide.
Alternatively, you can access the API of the video
system by other methods:
• HTTP or HTTPS (also used by the web interface)
• SSH
• Tel n et
• Serial interface (RS-232)
If you want more information about the different access
methods, and how to use the API, refer to the API guide
for the video system.
Tip
If the configuration or status is available in the API, the
web interface setting or status translates into an API
configuration or status as follows:
Set X > Y > Z to Value (we b)
is the same as
xConfiguration X Y Z: Value
Check X > Y > Z status (web)
is the same as
xStatus X Y Z
(API)

About the service
certificates of the video
system
Certificate validation may be required
when using TLS (Transport Layer
Security).
A server or client may require that the
video system presents a valid certificate
to them before communication can be
set up.
The video system’s certificates are text
files that verify the authenticity of the
system. These certificates may be issued
by a certificate authority (CA).
Certificates are used for the following
services: HTTPS server, SIP, IEEE 802.1X
and audit logging.
You can store many certificates on the
video system, but only one certificate can
be enabled for each service at a time.
If authentication fails, the connection will
not be established.
1. Browse to find the Certificate
file and Private key file (optional)
on your computer.
2. Fill in the Passphrase if required.
3. Click Add certificate... to store
the certificate on the video

Room considerations
Room acoustics
• Rooms with hard surfaces may cause challenges due to
severe audio reflections. Acoustical treatment of meeting
rooms is always highly recommended for the best meeting
experience as well as Intelligent Proximity performance.
• Cisco recommends only one video system with Intelligent
Proximity enabled in a room. Otherwise, interference is likely
to occur, which may lead to problems with device discovery
and session maintenance.
About privacy
In the Cisco Privacy statement and the Cisco Proximity
Supplement you find information about data collection in the
clients and privacy concerns that needs to be considered
when deploying this feature in the organization. Refer to:
You can use the video system’s user interface to temporarily
disable the Proximity services. This is usful in sessions or
meetings where you want to prevent mobile devices in the room
from receiving content.
Basic troubleshooting
Cannot detect devices with Proximity clients
• Check if the video system is in standby mode. Ultrasound is
not transmitted if the speakers (for example a TV in standby
mode) are turned off. Applies only to SX10, not to SX10N.
• Check the speaker volume. The volume control on a speaker
itself (not the volume controlled with the remote control or
Touch 10) affects the ultrasound volume. If the volume is too
low, the listening devices cannot detect the ultrasound pairing
messages. Applies only to SX10, not to SX10N.
• Some Windows laptops are not able to record sound in the
ultrasound frequency range (20
to frequency limitations with the sound card, sound driver or
the internal microphone of the particular device. Refer to the
Support forum for more information.
Audio artifacts
• If you can hear audio artifacts, like humming or clipping noise,
decrease the maximum ultrasound volume (Peripherals > Pairing > Ultrasound > Volume > MaxLevel).
Cannot share content from a laptop
• For content sharing to work, the video system and the laptop
must be on the same network. For this reason Proximity
sharing might fail if your video system is connected to
your company network via Expressway, and your laptop is
connected via VPN (VPN client dependent).

Adjust the video quality to call rate ratio
Video input quality settings
When encoding and transmitting video there is a trade-off
between high resolution (sharpness) and high frame rate (motion).
The Video Input Connector n Quality setting must be set to
Motion for the optimal definition settings to take any effect. With
the video input quality set to Sharpness, the endpoint will transmit
the highest resolution possible, regardless of frame rate.
Optimal definition profile
The optimal definition profile should reflect the lighting conditions
in the video conferencing room and the quality of the camera
(video input source). The better the lighting conditions and the
better the quality of the camera, the higher the profile should be
used.
Generally, the Medium profile is recommended. However, if the
lighting conditions are very good, we recommend that you test
the endpoint on the various Optimal Definition Profile settings
before deciding on a profile. The High profile may be set in order
to increase the resolution for a given call rate.
Some typical resolutions used for different optimal definition
profiles, call rates and transmit frame rates are shown in the table.
The resolution and frame rate must be supported by both the

Packet loss resilience - ClearPath
ClearPath introduces several mechanisms for advanced packet
loss resilience. These mechanisms increase the experienced
quality when you use your video system in an error prone
environment.
ClearPath is a Cisco proprietary protocol. All endpoints running
CE software support ClearPath.
If the involved endpoints and infrastructure elements support
ClearPath, all packet loss resilience mechanisms are used in
point-to-point connections (including hosted conferences).

Extend the number of input sources
You can customize our touch user interfaces to include input
sources that are connected to a third-party external video switch.
The sources will appear and behave as any other video source
that is connected directly to the video system.
Architecture
You need a Cisco video system with a touch interface, a thirdparty control system, for example Crestron or AMX, and a thirdparty video switch. It is the control system, not the video system,
that controls the video switch.
When you program the control system you must use the video
system’s API (events and commands)
video switch and the controls on the touch interface. This way you
can synchronize what is shown and done on the user interface
with the actual state of the input sources.

Real-time communication requirements for displays
We have put in a lot of effort to minimize the camera to screen
delay on our video systems, and also to detect and compensate
for total delay between the audio and video components.
We recommend that you use displays with low delay to increase
the naturalness of communications. We also recommend that you
test a sample before ordering a large number of displays.
Delay through most displays is often very high (>100 ms) and is
therefore detrimental to real-time communication quality.
The following display settings may reduce the delay:
• Activate Game mode, PC mode or similar modes that are
designed to reduce the response time and normally also the
delay
• Deactivate motion smoothing, like Motion Flow, Natural Motion,
or any other video processing that introduces additional delay
• Deactivate advanced audio processing, like Virtual Surround
effects and Dynamic Compression, which will make any
acoustic echo canceller malfunction

Touch 10 set-up
Once Touch 10 is connected to power, the set-up procedure begins.
Follow the instructions on screen.
When the Select a room system screen appears, note the following:
• A list of video systems signalling that they are available for paring
will show up on the screen. Tap the name of the video system you
want to pair with.
Note that the following must be fulfilled for a video system to show
up in the list:
• The video system and Touch 10 must be on the same subnet.
• The video system must have been restarted within the last 10
minutes. If the video system does not appear in the list, try
restarting it.
• If the video system does not appear in the list of available systems,
enter its IP address or hostname in the input field. Tap Connect.
• You have to log in with username and passphrase for the paring
process to commence. Tap Login.
A user with the USER role is sufficient; you do not need the ADMIN
role to perform this task.
Read more about how to create a user account and assign a role
to it in the ► User administration c hap ter.
If Touch 10 needs software upgrade, new software will be downloaded
from the video system and installed on the unit automatically as part of
the set-up procedure. Touch 10 restarts after the upgrade.

Upgrading from TC to CE software
CE software is the evolution of TC software. We recommend
that you upgrade to TC7.3.6 or later before you upgrade to CE
soft ware.
It is impor tant that you read about upgrade requirements and
functionality changes before you upgrade to CE software.
Also check that your environment supports the changes. We
recommend reading the Software Release Notes carefully.
If you don’t take into account these considerations, upgrading to
CE can leave you with a non-functioning deployment that requires
you to downgrade.
Upgrade to TC7.3.6 or later
Use TC7.x software
Upgrading from CE8 to CE9
The MultiStream feature with Cisco TelePresence Server is
deprecated in CE9.
Also, some features that were available from the Touch controller
in CE8, are not available in the first CE9.0 release. Read the

that compensates for delay in other connected devices, for example TVs and external
loudspeakers. The delay that you set here is either fixed or relative to the delay on the HDMI
output, as defined in the Audio Output Line [n] Delay Mode setting.
Requires user role: ADMIN, INTEGR ATOR
Default value: 0
Value space: Integer (0..290)
The delay in milliseconds.
Audio Output Line [1] Delay Mode
You may add extra delay to an audio line output with the Audio Output Line [n] Delay
DelayMs setting. The extra delay added is either a fixed number of milliseconds, or
a number of milliseconds relative to the detected delay on the HDMI output (typically
introduced by the connected TV).
Requires user role: ADMIN, INTEGR ATOR
Default value: RelativeToHDMI
Value space: Fixed/RelativeToHDMI
Fixed: Any extra delay (DelayMs) added to the output, will be a fixed number of
millisecond.

This setting affects the H.245 port numbers used for H.323 call signaling.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Default value: Dynamic
Value space: Dynamic/Static
Dynamic: The system will allocate which ports to use when opening a TCP connection.
The reason for doing this is to avoid using the same ports for subsequent calls, as some
firewalls consider this as a sign of attack. When Dynamic is selected, the H.323 ports
used are from 11000 to 20999. Once 20999 is reached they restart again at 11000.
The ports are automatically selected by the system within the given range. Firewall
administrators should not try to deduce which ports are used when, as the allocation
schema within the mentioned range may change without any further notice.
Static: When set to Static the ports are given within a static predefined range [55556555].

As default, the system is using the UDP ports in the range 2326 to 2487 for RTP and RTCP
media data. Each media channel is using two adjacent ports for RTP and RTCP. The default
number of ports required in the UDP port range is based on the number of simultaneous
calls that the endpoint is capable of.
NOTE: Restar t the system for any change to this setting to take effect.

Security Audit Logging Mode
Define where to record or transmit the audit logs. The audit logs are sent to a syslog server.
When using the External/ExternalSecure modes and setting the port assignment to manual
in the Security Audit Server PortAssignment setting, you must also enter the address and
port number for the audit server in the Security Audit Server Address and Security Audit
Server Port settings.
Requires user role: AUDIT
Default value: Off
Value space: Off/Internal/External/ExternalSecure
Off: No audit logging is performed.
Internal: The system records the audit logs to internal logs, and rotates logs when they
are full.
External: The system sends the audit logs to an external syslog server. The syslog server
must support UDP.
ExternalSecure: The system sends encrypted audit logs to an external syslog server that
is verified by a certificate in the Audit CA list. The Audit CA list file must be uploaded to
the codec using the web interface. The common_name parameter of a certificate in the
CA list must match the IP address of the syslog server, and the secure TCP server must
be set up to listen for secure (TLS) TCP Syslog messages.
Security Audit OnError Action
Define what happens when the connection to the syslog server is lost. This setting is only
relevant when Security Audit Logging Mode is set to ExternalSecure.
Requires user role: AUDIT
Default value: Ignore
Value space: Halt/Ignore
Halt: If a halt condition is detected the system codec is rebooted and only the auditor is
allowed to operate the unit until the halt condition has passed. When the halt condition
has passed the audit logs are re-spooled to the syslog server. Halt conditions are: A
network breach (no physical link), no syslog server running (or incorrect address or port
to the syslog server), TLS authentication failed (if in use), local backup (re-spooling) log
full.
Ignore: The system will continue its normal operation, and rotate internal logs when full.
When the connection is restored it will again send its audit logs to the syslog server.
Security Audit Server Address
The audit logs are sent to a syslog server. Define the IP address of the syslog server.
Only valid IPv4 or IPv6 address formats are accepted. Host names are not supported.
This setting is only relevant when Security Audit Logging Mode is set to External or
ExternalSecure.

Security Audit Server Port
The audit logs are sent to a syslog server. Define the port of the syslog server that the
system shall send its audit logs to. This setting is only relevant when Security Audit Ser ver
PortAssignment is set to Manual.
Requires user role: AUDIT
Default value: 514
Value space: Integer (0..65535)
Set the audit server port.
Security Audit Server PortAssignment
The audit logs are sent to a syslog server. You can define how the port number of the
external syslog server will be assigned. This setting is only relevant when Security Audit
Logging Mode is set to External or ExternalSecure. To see which port number is used you
can check the Security Audit Server Port status. Navigate to Configuration > System status
on the web interface or; if on a command line interface, run the command xStatus Security
Audit Server Port.
Requires user role: AUDIT
Default value: Auto
Value space: Auto/Manual
Auto: Will use UDP port number 514 when the Security Audit Logging Mode is set to
External. Will use TCP port number 6514 when the Security Audit Logging Mode is set to
ExternalSecure.
Manual: Will use the port value defined in the Security Audit Server Port setting.
Security Session InactivityTimeout
Define how long the system will accept inactivity from the user before he is automatically
logged out from a web, Telnet, or SSH session.
Restart the system for any change to this setting to take effect.
Security Session MaxSessionsPerUser
The maximum number of simultaneous sessions per user. 0, which is the default value,
means no hard limit. Sessions consume resources, so there will be some limitation, but this
may vary based on different criteria.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Default value: 0
Value space: Integer (0..100)
The maximum number of sessions per user. 0 means no hard limit.
Security Session MaxTotalSessions
The maximum number of simultaneous sessions in total. 0, which is the default value,
means no hard limit. Sessions consume resources, so there will be some limitation, but this
may vary based on different criteria.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Default value: 0
Value space: Integer (0..100)
The maximum number of sessions in total. 0 means no hard limit.
Security Session ShowLastLogon
When logging in to the system using SSH or Telnet you will see the UserId, time and date of
the last session that did a successful login.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Default value: Off
Value space: Off/On
On: Show information about the last session.
Off: Do not show information about the last session.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Default value: 0
Value space: Integer (0..10000)
Set the inactivity timeout (minutes); or select 0 when inactivity should not enforce
automatic logout.
