A server or client may require that your 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).
The certificates are listed as shown in the illustration to the

You can store several certificates on the system, but only one
certificate can be used for each service at a time.
If authentication fails, the connection will not be established.
Contact your system administrator to obtain the
following file(s):
• Certificate (file format: .PEM)
• Private key, either as a separate file or
included in the same file as the certificate
(file format: .PEM format)
• Password (required only if the private key is
encrypted)
The certificate and the private key will be stored in
the same file on the video system.

Changing the persistency mode
By default, all persistency settings are set to Persistent. This
means that configurations, call histor y, internal logs, local
phonebook / favorites list and IP connectivity information
are stored as normal. A system restart does not delete
information.
As a general rule, we recommend NOT to change the
default settings for persistency. But in the case were a
new user is not supposed to see or trace back to any kind
of logged information from the previous session, Non-persistent mode must be used.
In order to clear/delete information that was stored
before changing to Non-persistent mode, you should
consider to factory reset the video system.
There is more information about performing a factory
reset in the ► Factory resetting appendix.
When in Non-persistent mode, the following information will
be lost/cleared each time the system restarts:
• System Configuration changes that have been made
since the last system restart.
• Information about calls that are placed or received since
the last system restart (call history).
• Internal log files that has been made since the last system
restart.
• Changes that are made to the local contacts / favorites
list since the last system restart.
• All IP related information (DHCP) from the last session.
Checking the persistency status
The radio buttons that are active when you open the Security
page and go to the Non-persistent Mode tab, shows the
current persistency status of the video system.
You can also see the status by checking Security >
Persistency on the Configuration > System Status page.
Navigate to: Configuration > Security: Non-persistent Mode tab
Changing the persistency settings
1. Set the persistency settings for the five
categories as desired.
2. Click Save and reboot....
The system will restart. After the
restart, behavior according to the new
persistency settings will start.
Note that logs, configurations etc. that
was stored before you switch to Nonpersistent mode, will not be cleared or
deleted.

Factory reset
If there is a severe problem with the video system, the last
resort may be to reset it to its default factory settings. Always
consider reverting to the previously used software image
before performing a factory reset. In many situations this will
recover the system*.
A factory reset should only be performed by a system
administrator or in contact with Cisco technical support.
When factory resetting the video system the following
happens:
• The call logs will be deleted.
• Passwords will be reset to default.
• All system parameters will be reset to default values.
• All files that have been uploaded to the system will be
deleted. This includes, but is not limited to, custom
wallpapers, certificates and favorites list.
• The previous (inactive) software image will be deleted.
• Option keys will not be affected.
The system restarts automatically after the reset. It is using
the same software image as before.
We strongly recommend that you backup your system’s log
files and configuration before you perform a factory reset.
It is not possible to undo a factory reset.
Navigate to: Maintenance > System Recovery: Backup tab and Factory Reset tab
There is more information about performing a factory reset in

Conference 1 MaxTotalReceiveCallRate: 10000
Conference [1..1] VideoBandwidth Mode
Set the conference video bandwidth mode.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Dynamic/Static>
Dynamic: The available transmit bandwidth for the video channels are distributed among the
currently active channels. If there is no presentation, the main video channels will use the
bandwidth of the presentation channel.
Static: The available transmit bandwidth is assigned to each video channel, even if it is not
active.
The available transmit video bandwidth is distributed on the main channel and presentation
channel according to "MainChannel Weight" and "PresentationChannel Weight". If the main
channel weight is 2 and the presentation channel weight is 1, then the main channel will use
twice as much bandwidth as the presentation channel.
The available transmit video bandwidth is distributed on the main channel and presentation
channel according to "MainChannel Weight" and "PresentationChannel Weight". If the main
channel weight is 2 and the presentation channel weight is 1, then the main channel will use
twice as much bandwidth as the presentation channel.
This configuration applies to video systems that are using the built-in MultiSite feature (optional)
to host a multipoint video conference. When a remote user shares a presentation, the video
system (codec) will transcode the presentation and send it to the other participants in the
multipoint conference. The RelayQuality setting specifies whether to give priority to high frame
rate or to high resolution for the presentation source.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Motion/Sharpness>
Motion: Gives the highest possible frame rate. Used when there is a need for higher frame
rates, typically when there is a lot of motion in the picture.
Sharpness: Gives the highest possible resolution. Used when you want the highest quality of
detailed images and graphics.
Example:
Conference 1 Presentation RelayQuality: Sharpness
Conference [1..1] Presentation OnPlacedOnHold
Define whether or not to continue sharing a presentation after the remote site has put you on
hold.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Stop/NoAction>
Stop: The video system stops the presentation sharing when the remote site puts you on
hold. The presentation will not continue when the call is resumed.
NoAction: The video system will not stop the presentation sharing when put on hold. The
presentation will not be shared while you are on hold, but it will continue automatically when
the call is resumed.
Define how the video system handles multiparty video conferences.
If registered to a Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS), the video system
can use its built-in MultiSite feature. If registered to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager
(CUCM) version 8.6.2 or newer, the video system can use either the CUCM conference bridge,
or the video system's built-in MultiSite feature. Which one to use is set-up by CUCM. The
CUCM conference bridge allows you to set up conferences with many participants; MultiSite
allows up to five participants (yourself included).
Note that the built-in MultiSite feature is optional and may not be available on all video systems.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Auto/Off/MultiSite/CUCMMediaResourceGroupList>
Auto: The multipoint method available will be choosen automatically; if none are available the
Multipoint Mode will automatically be set to Off.
Off: Multiparty conferences are not allowed.
MultiSite: Multiparty conferences are set up using the built-in MultiSite feature. If MultiSite is
chosen when the MultiSite feature is not available, the Multipoint Mode will automatically be
set to Off.
CUCMMediaResourceGroupList: Multiparty conferences (ad hoc conferences) are hosted by
the CUCM configured conference bridge. This setting is provisioned by CUCM in a CUCM
environment and should never be set manually by the user.
Example:
Conference 1 Multipoint Mode: Auto
Conference [1..1] IncomingMultisiteCall Mode
Select whether or not to allow incoming calls when already in a call/conference.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Allow/Deny>
Allow: You will be notified when someone calls you while you are already in a call. You can
accept the incoming call or not. The ongoing call may be put on hold while answering the
incoming call; or you may merge the calls (requires MultiSite support).
Deny: An incoming call will be rejected if you are already in a call. You will not be notified
about the incoming call. However, the call will appear as a missed call in the call history list.

H323 settings
H323 NAT Mode
The firewall traversal technology creates a secure path through the firewall barrier, and enables
proper exchange of audio/video data when connected to an external video conferencing
system (when the IP traffic goes through a NAT router). NOTE: NAT does not work in
conjunction with gatekeepers.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Auto/Off/On>
Auto: The system will determine if the H323 NAT Address or the real IP address should be
used in signaling. This makes it possible to place calls to endpoints on the LAN as well as
endpoints on the WAN. If the H323 NAT Address is wrong or not set, the real IP address will
be used.
Off: The system will signal the real IP address.
On: The system will signal the configured H323 NAT Address instead of its real IP address
in Q.931 and H.245. The NAT Server Address will be shown in the startup-menu as: "My IP
Address: 10.0.2.1". If the H323 NAT Address is wrong or not set, H.323 calls cannot be set
up.
Example:
H323 NAT Mode: Off
H323 NAT Address
Enter the external/global IP address to the router with NAT support. Packets sent to the
router will then be routed to the system. Note that NAT cannot be used when registered to a
gatekeeper.
In the router, the following ports must be routed to the system's IP address:
* Port 1720
* Port 5555-6555
* Port 2326-2487
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <S: 0, 64>
Format: A valid IPv4 address or IPv6 address.
Example:
H323 NAT Address: ""
H323 Profile [1..1] Authentication Mode
Set the authenticatin mode for the H.323 profile.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Off/On>
Off: If the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode is set to Off the system will not try to
authenticate itself to a H.323 Gatekeeper, but will still try a normal registration.
On: If the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode is set to On and a H.323 Gatekeeper
indicates that it requires authentication, the system will try to authenticate itself to the
gatekeeper. Requires the Authentication LoginName and Authentication Password to be
defined on both the codec and the Gatekeeper.
Example:
H323 Profile 1 Authentication Mode: Off
H323 Profile [1..1] Authentication LoginName
The system sends the Authentication Login Name and the Authentication Password to a H.323
Gatekeeper for authentication. The authentication is a one way authentication from the codec
to the H.323 Gatekeeper, i.e. the system is authenticated to the gatekeeper. If the H.323
Gatekeeper indicates that no authentication is required, the system will still try to register.
Requires the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode to be enabled.

H323 Profile [1..1] CallSetup Mode
The H.323 Call Setup Mode defines whether to use a Gatekeeper or Direct calling when
establishing H323 calls.
NOTE: Direct H.323 calls can be made even though the H.323 Call Setup Mode is set to
Gatekeeper.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Direct/Gatekeeper>
Direct: An IP address must be used when dialing in order to make the H323 call.
Gatekeeper: The system will use a Gatekeeper to make a H.323 call. When selecting this
option the H323 Profile Gatekeeper Address and H323 Profile Gatekeeper Discovery
settings must also be configured.
Example:
H323 Profile 1 CallSetup Mode: Gatekeeper
H323 Profile [1..1] Encryption MinKeySize
Define the minimum key size for the Diffie-Hellman key exchange method, which is used when
establishing the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption key.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <1024bit/2048bit>
1024bi t: The minimum size is 1024 bit.
2048bit: The minimum size is 2048 bit.
Example:
H323 Profile 1 Encryption MinKeySize: 1024bit
H323 Profile [1..1] Gatekeeper Discovery
Determine how the system shall register to a H.323 Gatekeeper.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Manual/Auto>
Manual: The system will use a specific Gatekeeper identified by the Gatekeeper's IP address.
Auto: The system will automatically try to register to any available Gatekeeper. If a
Gatekeeper responds to the request sent from the codec within 30 seconds this specific
Gatekeeper will be used. This requires that the Gatekeeper is in auto discovery mode as
well. If no Gatekeeper responds, the system will not use a Gatekeeper for making H.323
calls and hence an IP address must be specified manually.
Example:
H323 Profile 1 Gatekeeper Discovery: Manual
H323 Profile [1..1] Gatekeeper Address
Enter the IP address of the Gatekeeper. Requires the H.323 Call Setup Mode to be set to
Gatekeeper and the Gatekeeper Discovery to be set to Manual.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <S: 0, 255>
Format: A valid IPv4 address, IPv6 address or DNS name.
Example:
H323 Profile 1 Gatekeeper Address: "192.0.2.0"
H323 Profile [1..1] H323Alias E164
The H.323 Alias E.164 defines the address of the system, according to the numbering plan
implemented in the H.323 Gatekeeper. The E.164 alias is equivalent to a telephone number,
sometimes combined with access codes.

and will be displayed in the call lists. Example: "firstname.lastname@company.com", "My H.323
Alias ID"
The H.323 Port Allocation setting affects the H.245 port numbers used for H.323 call signalling.
Requires user role: ADMIN
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. For RTP and RTCP
media data, the system is using UDP ports in the range 2326 to 2487. Each media channel
is using two adjacent ports, ie 2330 and 2331 for RTP and RTCP respectively. 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 [5555-6555].

Network [1..1] DHCP RequestTFTPServerAddress
This setting is used only for video systems that are registered to a Cisco Unified
Communications Manager (CUCM).
The setting determines whether the endpoint should ask the DHCP server for DHCP option 150,
so that it can discover the address of the TFTP server (provisioning server) automatically.
If this setting is Off or the DHCP server does not support option 150, the TFTP server address
must be set manually using the Provisioning ExternalManager Address setting.
If the Network VLAN Voice Mode setting is Auto and the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
assigns an ID to the voice VLAN, then a request for option 150 will always be sent. That is, the
Network DHCP RequestTFTFSer verAddress setting will be ignored.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Off/On>
Off: The video system will not send a request for DHCP option 150 and the address of the
TFTP server must be set manually. See the note above for any exception to this rule.
On: The video system will send a request for option 150 to the DHCP server so that it can
automatically discover the address of the TFTP server.

SIP Profile [1..1] URI
The SIP URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is the address that is used to identify the video
system. The URI is registered and used by the SIP services to route inbound calls to the
system. The SIP URI syntax is defined in RFC 3261.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <S: 0, 255>
Format: String with maximum 255 characters and compliant with the SIP URI syntax.
This is the user name part of the credentials used to authenticate towards the SIP proxy.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <S: 0, 128>

SIP Profile [1..1] DefaultTransport
Select the transport protocol to be used over the LAN.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <TCP/UD P/Tls/Auto>
TCP: The system will always use TCP as the default transport method.
UDP: The system will always use UDP as the default transport method.
Tls: The system will always use TLS as the default transport method. For TLS connections
a SIP CA-list can be uploaded to the video system. If no such CA-list is available on the
system then anonymous Diffie Hellman will be used.
Auto: The system will try to connect using transport protocols in the following order: TLS,
TC P, U D P.
Example:
SIP Profile 1 DefaultTransport: Auto
SIP Profile [1..1] TlsVerify
For TLS connections a SIP CA-list can be uploaded to the video system. This can be done from
the web interface.
Requires user role: ADMIN
Value space: <Off/On>
Off: Set to Off to allow TLS connections without verifying them. The TLS connections are
allowed to be set up without verifying the x.509 certificate received from the server against
the local CA-list. This should typically be selected if no SIP CA-list has been uploaded.
On: Set to On to verify TLS connections. Only TLS connections to servers, whose x.509
certificate is validated against the CA-list, will be allowed.
