Advertise G.722 Codec
Indicates whether Cisco Telepresence endpoints will advertise the G.722 audio codec to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Cisco Unified CM).
Codec negotiation involves two steps:
1. The CTS must advertise the suppor te d codec(s) to Cisco Unified CM (not all endpoints support the
same set of codecs).
2. When Cisco Unified CM gets the list of supported codecs from all endpoints involved in the call
attempt, it chooses a commonly supported codec based on various factors, including the region pair
setting.
Valid values are:
–
Disabled—CTS does not advertise G.722 to Cisco Unified CM.
Cisco TelePresence System Release 1.6 Administration Guide

Preface
–
Enabled—CTS ad vertise s G.72 2 to Ci sco U nified C M. W hen e na ble d, pr ef er ence is given to
this audio codec.
–
Use System Default—CTS defers to the setting specified in the Advertise G.722 Codec
enterprise parameter.
NoteEnabling G.722 al lows the CT S to negot ia te G.72 2 enc od ing for po int -to- point an d a ud io a dd -in cal ls
when the remote side supp orts it. The s ele ction of G. 722 fo r HD Interoperability is controlled by the
codec support in Cisco Unified Videoconferencing (CUVC ).
See the Advertise G.722 Codec field in the Produc t Specific Configuration Layout sec tion of the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide for the Cisco TelePresence System for
more information.
Alternate Directory
In Cisco Unified CM Release 7x and later releases you can enter an alternate Cisco Unified CM for
directory lookup. See the Product Specific Configuration La yout section of the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide for the Cisco TelePresence System for
more information.
Audio Echo Cance ll at i on
Yo u can enab le or disa ble echo cancel lation by checkin g the En able Au dio Echo Ca ncella tion (A EC)
check-box in the Product Specific Configuration Layout section in the Cisco Unified CM Administration
Phone Configuration window . See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide for
the Cisco TelePresence System for more information.
Cisco TelePresence Recording Server (CTRS)
The Cisco TelePresence Recording Server (CTRS) allows you to do the following:
• Create recordin gs.
• Store recordings on the CTRS.
• Share recordings with others for viewing.
• Make recordings p ubli c so tha t a nyone wi th a cce ss to the CT RS ca n view the m.
• Play back recordings on a Cisco TelePresence endpoint.
• Play back record ing s w ith a stand ard browser-based play er.
• Download your recording s or p ubli c re c ordi ngs.
CTRS enables you to record in Cisco TelePresence Studio Mode (single endpoint only). T his feature is
commonly used for executive and team up da tes, sho rt trai n ing sessi on s wi th slides, a nd c oll eagu e
messages. The recordin g can eithe r be viewed in on a Cisco TelePresence endpoint or from a lap top
through a web li nk .
T o record, users must have access to a CTS with CTRS functionality; the CTS controls recording through
the CTS Cisco Unified IP Phone interface.
See the following documentation for more information:
• CTRS support document s on the Cisco TelePresence Recording Server home page on Cisco. co m.
• The CTRS user chapter in the Cisco TelePresence Sy st em Us e r Gu ide on Cisc o. com.

CTS Auto Answer
This feature allows the CTS endpoint to override the Cisco Unified CM directory number (DN) settings
so that you do not have to configure the phone to answe r with the s peakerpho ne. See the CTS Auto
Answer field in the Produc t Sp ec ific Configur ation L ay out sect ion for your d evice in the

Preface
E1/T1 Support - Extended Reach
Extended Reach su pport s u ser s in l ocat ion s w here b and wi dth is c ostl y o r unrel ia ble. B ecau se int erne t
bandwidth is not dedicated, there may be experience issues or even call drops at certain times of the day
due to a decrease in available bandwidth. Exten d ed Reach is di rectly related to the quality of the call. If
the call is 720p Lite on guar antee d bandwi dth it is cons ider ed to be Ext ended Re ach. Thi s featur e
supports the following:
• T1/E1 with QoS: 7 20p (Lit e) a nd 720p (G oo d). Se e Qua lity Per Display - 720 p (Lite).
• “Best Effort” premium bro adban d (Fibe r-Optic Broad band Int ernet (FIOS) , Cabl e)
• Sends and receives audio an d v ideo f rom l egacy T1/E 1 en dpoi nts
Gradual Decoder Refresh (GDR)
Provides a starting point or refr esh of the en code d bitstr eam. Initialization frames (IDRs or GDRs) are
sent to endpoints that switch to a new source. IDR frame picture quality is typically lower than regular
P-frames, so GDR is a m eth od of gr ad ually r efre shi ng t he pi ct ure over a nu mber o f frame s, givin g a
smoother, less bursty bitstream.
HD Interoperability
Cisco TelePresence Interoperability delivers any-to-any capabilities so that standards-based video
conferencing technologies can participate in Cisco TelePresence meetings. This offering extends the
immersive experience beyond Cisco TelePresence to virtually all standard-definition (SD) and
high-definition (HD) v ideo conf ere ncin g sy stem s a nd ot h er business v ide o app lic atio ns and
technologies.
HD Interoperability allows high-definition 720p inter-operability with third-party endpoints and
includes the following features:
• Negotiates higher b andw idt hs u p to 2. 25 m bps for HD Int erop c alls .
• Supports the Advertise G.722 Codec audio codec feature and indicates the ability to send and
receive G722 audio for the audio portion of t he Inter op call with tr aditio nal vide o confere ncing
participants. CTS send s this G. 722 audio stream along with w ideba nd a dvanced audi o codi ng wit h
a low delay (AAC-LD) audio stream.

IPSLA for In-Band Traffic Analysis
See the Cisco TelePresence Sys tem C ommand -Lin e Inte rface R eference Guide for information about the
Internet Protocol Service Level Agreement (IPSLA) for in-band simulated traffic analysis feature.
Login History
For enhanced security, the system reports the most recent login history when you initially log into the
system. The login history reports the user, time, and location of the last successful login.
See the Cisco TelePresence System Command-Line Interface Reference Guide for more inf orm ation .
Managing Pass words
T o ensure that your system is protected, you must update your password every 60 days. The system alerts
you to the numb er of d ay s re main ing o n y our c ur rent passwo rd i n th e logi n banne r w he n you l og ont o
the system. The system issues a warning when 7 days rema in on your current password, and so on un til
the password expires.
Warning
If the password is allowed to expire, the system will ignore the login attempt and you cannot access
the system. You must create a new password using the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration application.
See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide for the Cisco TelePresence
System for more in for mat ion.
Multi Cluster Cisco Unified CM
If you use Cisco TelePresence Manager (CTS-Man), the first time setup process allows Administrators
to add more than one Cisco U nified CM clu ster. An Administrator can then add, mo dify, and view the
status of up to 5 i ndividual Cisco U nified CM cluste rs. Base d on you r dial - plan , you m ay ne ed t o
configure the CTS device Dial Plan configuration settings in the Cisco Unified CM. See the following
documentation for more information:
• Dial Plan Informatio n s ecti on of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide
for the Cisco TelePresence System.
• Cisco TelePresence Manager home page on Cisco.com.
Multipoint LTRP
Support for multi-point Long Term Reference Pictures (LTRP). CTS endpoints periodically send back
acknowledgement (ACK) or negative-acknowledgeme nt (NACK) about the R eal Time Protoc ol ( RTP)
video packets they receive or expect to receive and mark them as reference frames or L TRPs. If any video
packet loss is observed, Cisco has pat ented a met hod where in format ion is encode d to a smalle r repair
frame that is transmitted based on the last reference frame that was successfully sent to all receivers. This
allows for fast and ef f icient re cov ery after netw ork losses or jitter wit hout further b urdening the netw ork
with large Intelligent Disaster Recovery (IDR) frames. LTRP works with HD Interoperability.
One Phone Per Office
In Cisco Unified CM, the On e Pho ne Per Office fea ture provides the fu nctio ns of a C TS and a
Cisco Unified IP Phone in one system. See the One Phone Per Office section in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide for the Cisco TelePresence System for
detailed information.

Preface
Password Aging
T o ensure that your system is protected when using Cisco TelePresence Command Line Interface (CLI),
you must periodically update your password. In CTS Release 1.6.0, the system alerts you to the number
of days remaining on y our curr en t pas s word in the login b an ne r whe n y ou log onto the sy st em . In CT S
Release 1.6.0 and later releases, the system issues a warning when 14 days remain on your current
password, and so on until the password expire s. You may get a message similar to the follo wing at lo gin:
“Password change required in 10 days”
The password life (the max imum a ge, in d ay s) is ma nage d using new fields o n the Cisco Uni fied CM
Device > Phone > Product Specific Configuration Layout > Secure Shell Information page:
• SSH Admin Life
• SSH Helpdesk User
• SSH Helpdesk Password
• SSH Helpdesk Life
Password expiration is fixed at 60 days. A setting of 0 disables password aging. U nless the configured
life has been disabl ed (by being set to 0), password age is set to have 2 days remainin g in the following
situations:
• New installations and factory resets.
• Software upgrades (if the password age is less than the configured age).
• Password recovery (by logging in usi ng y our pwrecovery account).
NoteWhen the password ag e has expi red, a warning me ssage is shown br iefly on -scre en b efore lo ggi ng ou t.
For more information see the Secure Shell Information section in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Configuration Guide for t he C isco TelePresence System. See also the Cisco TelePresence
System Command-Line I nter face Re ference Gui de.
Presentation Output Device
In Cisco Unified CM, the Presentation Output Device field in the Product Specific Configuration Layout
window for the CTS 3000 and CTS 320 0 cont ains a new choice in the drop-d own menu: No ne. See t he
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide for the Cisco TelePresence System for
detailed information.
Quality Per Display - 720p (Lite)
Part of the E1/T1 Suppo rt - E xten ded Re ac h package of features, in Cisco Unified CM, the Quality per
Display field can be set to “High Detail, Limited Mot ion: 720p (Li te).” This allows a CTS endpoint to
work on a T1 (1.544 Mbps) co nnectio n over a VPN conne ction and en able s “1 Frame pe r Second ”
(1FPS) capability. The T1 CTS endpoint supports the following:
• T1 (clear cha nnel ) w ith out V PN —72 0p Lit e, 1fp s pr e sen tati on with out aud i o add -i n.
• E1 (channelized ) IPsec w ith VPN —720 p L it e, 1f ps prese nta tio n wi thou t a udio a dd-in .
• E1 (clear cha nnel ) w ith out V PN —72 0P g ood , 5fps p resen tat ion w ithout aud io a dd -in.
• Progressive IDR frames option enabled for media.
• 936kbps main video display 720p bitstream enables HD Interoperability vide o, a long wi th o v erhe ad

Managing Hardware Setup
Selecting the Light Level
When adjusting the images on the CTS display screens, you must take the color temperature of the
ambient light in the room into consideration.
Sources of light in most rooms are produced by fluorescent fixtures or incandescent light bulbs that use
tungsten filaments. Each of thes e l ight sour ces, and t he a mount o f lig ht i n t erms of lume ns or wa tts,
produces a differ ent color temperature. This c olor temper ature is so metimes e xpressed usin g terms such
cool, warm, or daylight, but can be expressed more precisely in kelvins (K) as a numeric value.
The following temperatures can be selected for adjusting the image on the Cisco TelePresence display
screens:
• 3500 K
• 4000 to 4100 K (recommended )
• 5000 K
• 6500 K
• 7500 K
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the CTS 500
TipIn many cases, the color temperature is printed on the light bulb. If you are unable to ascertain the type
and color temp er at u re of l i gh t bulb s in the m e eti ng ro om, expe ri m en t w ith c ol or te mp er atur e s ett in g s
until the color and images on the display screen look lifelike.

NoteIf you are in country that us es a 50 Hertz (Hz) power frequency (a country other than the USA,
Canada or Mexico) and th er e i s a noticeable flicker on th e scr ee n, c lick th e Enable radio button
in this field. If you enable the flicker reduction feature, the flicker is reduced or eliminated, but
the image quality is reduced. To eliminate the flicker at its source, you can use an electronic
ballast instead of a magnet ballast for the fluorescent lights at your installation. After you change
the ballast for the fluorescent lights, you can click the Disable radio button in the 50 Hz Flicker Reduction field.
Understanding Camera Setup Choices for Room Lighting
If your room has windows that contribute a significant amount of natural light, you can set your CTS to
automatically compensate for variable lighting conditions. This compensation is an average adjustment
and will not be as accurate as the color settings you select for a room that uses fixed, artificial room
lighting.

TipPresentation devices automa tica lly sh ut off wh en t here is no l ong er a v ide o sig na l to th at pre sent atio n device. An
on-screen timer counts down the re maining time to shut-do wn. The amount of time that it tak es a de v ice to shut do wn
depends on your Cisco Uni fied CM configuration. Most CTS devices that support PiP shut down in 10 to 15 seconds
after the video signal is re moved. Devices on the CTS 3000 and CT S 3200 series that have black boxes associated
with the auxi liary control take 5 minutes to shut down. See the Product Specific Configuration Layout se ction of the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide for the Cisco TelePresence System for more
information about controlling presentation devices and associated displays.
