Enterprise authentication
The VCS can authenticate administrator and/or FindMe accounts against a remote directory service,
such as Windows Active Directory, over LDAP. This allows administration groups to be set up in the
directory service for all VCSs in an enterprise, removing the need to have separate accounts on each
VCS.
FindMe™ enhancements
FindMe account users can set up a list of locations such as "at home" or "in the office" and
n
associate their personal devices with those locations. Only those devices associated with their
currently active location will ring when their FindMe is called.
You can display the caller's FindMe ID as the Caller ID associated with the originating endpoint's
n
address. This means that if the recipient subsequently returns that call, all the devices associated
with that FindMe account will be called. For H.323 calls placed through an ISDN gateway, the
E.164 phone number associated with the FindMe account is displayed instead.
Administrators can specify text to display to all FindMe users when they configure a device on their
n
FindMe account.
A new FindMe search page lets you search for FindMe usernames and aliases.
n
Include ISDN gateway prefix on caller ID display
On the H.323 configuration page you can specify whether the Caller ID displayed on the destination
endpoint includes the prefix of the ISDN gateway when displaying the caller's E.164 number.
Subzone configuration
VCS now supports up to 1000 subzones (previously 200).
n
You can now configure up to 2000 membership rules across all subzones, replacing the previous
n
method of specifying up to five IP subnets per subzone. Each rule can specify either an IP subnet
as before or an alias pattern match.
Number of pipes increased from 100 to 1000.
n
Number of links increased from 600 to 3000.
n
Zone configuration
VCS now supports up to 1000 zones (previously 200).
n
New Cisco Unified Communications Manager zone profile option configures the settings
n
required for connections to a Cisco UCM.
Zone matches replaced by search rules
Instead of specifying up to 5 matches when configuring a zone, you now set up separate search rules
and associate each rule with a target zone to where the query is forwarded.
You can configure up to 2000 search rules.
n
A Stop searching option makes the search process more efficient by allowing you to stop
n
searching any further zones when a search rule results in a successful match.
A Source option lets you control whether a search rule is applied depending on the source of the
n
query.
The Calls to unknown IP addresses and Fallback alias configuration settings have moved from
n
the Calls page to a new Search rules configuration page.
Quality of Service
The VCS supports the DiffServ (Differentiated Services) Quality of Service mechanism for tagging all
signaling and media packets flowing through the VCS over IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
