About the API xConfiguration
New features and improvements
Administrator password not set warning on OSD
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
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 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.
Full screen self-view
Full screen self-view while in call is supported on dual monitor
systems.
ISDN Link support
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 on-screen interface during a call.
This feature requires that security mode is installed and config-
ured 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.
Support for encrypted Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch
(CTMS) calls
Video systems running software TC5.0 or later are able to initi-
ate 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.
