across the network.
RTP is a standard for
transporting real-time data, such
as interactive voice and video
over data networks.
Skinny Client Control Protocol.
A Cisco protocol using low-
bandwidth messages that allows
communication between IP
devices and the
Cisco CallManager.
TCP is a a connection-oriented
transport protocol.
TFTP allows you to transfer files

Usage Notes
To communicate using IP,
network devices must have an
assigned IP address, subnet, and
gateway.
IP addresses, subnets, and
gateways identifications are
automatically assigned if you are
using the IP Conference Station
with DHCP. If you are not using
DHCP, you must manually
assign these properties to each
station locally.
The IP Conference Station can
collect and process RTP traffic
from routers, hubs, and switches.
The IP Conference Station uses
SCCP to communicate with the
Cisco CallManager.
The IP Conference Station uses
TCP to connect to
Cisco CallManager.
TFTP requires a TFTP server in
your network, which can be
automatically identified from the
DHCP server. If more than one
TFTP server is running in your
network, you must manually
assign a TFTP server to each
station locally.
