Configuring System Name And Access Settings - Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Administrator's Manual

This allows the network administrator to tag all signaling and media packets flowing through the VCS
with one specific QoS tag and hence provide the ability to prioritize video traffic over normal data
traffic. Management traffic, for example SNMP messages, is not tagged.
Supported mechanisms
The VCS supports the DiffServ (Differentiated Services) mechanism which puts the specified Tag
value in the TOS (Type Of Service) field of the IPv4 header or TC (Traffic Class) field of the IPv6
header.

Configuring the system name
The System name is used to identify the VCS. It appears in various places in the web interface, and
in the display on the front panel of the unit (so that you can identify it when it is in a rack with other
systems). The System name is also used by TMS.
You are recommended to give the VCS a name that allows you to easily and uniquely identify it.
Administration access
While it is possible to administer the VCS via a PC connected directly to the unit via a serial cable, you
may want to access the system remotely over IP. You can do this using either or both:
the web interface, via HTTPS
n
a command line interface, via SSH or Telnet
