VCS, and allows you to add new options.
Options are used to add additional features to the VCS. Your VCS may have been shipped with one or more
optional features pre-installed. To purchase further options, contact your Cisco representative.
The System information section summarizes the existing features installed on the VCS. The options that
you may see here include:
Expressway: enables the VCS to work as an Expressway™ firewall traversal server.
n
H.323 to SIP Interworking gateway: enables H.323 calls to be translated to SIP and vice versa.
n
FindMe™: enables FindMe
n
Dual Network Interfaces: enables the LAN 2 port on your VCS Expressway.
n
Device Provisioning: enables the VCS's
n
configuration information on request and to supply endpoints with phone book information. (Endpoints
including Movi v2.0 or later, and E20 v2.1 or later can request to be provisioned.) Note that the VCS must
use TMS to obtain configuration and phone book information for distribution.
Starter Pack: allows the VCS to offer basic device provisioning for a range of endpoint device types,
n
including Movi users, without the need for TMS (see
Traversal calls: determines the number of traversal calls allowed on the VCS (or VCS cluster) at any one
n
time. Note that traversal calls that are passing through the VCS from one neighbor to another but where
neither endpoint in the call is locally registered will still be counted as one traversal call. See the
traversal calls? section for more information.
Non-traversal calls: determines the number of non-traversal calls allowed on the VCS (or VCS cluster) at
n
any one time. Note that non-traversal calls that are passing through the VCS from one neighbor to another
but where neither endpoint in the call is locally registered may or may not require a non-traversal call
license, depending on the
will consume a traversal license if there are no non-traversal call licenses available.
Registrations: the number of concurrent registrations allowed on the VCS. An endpoint can register with
n
more than one alias and this will be considered to be a single registration. However, an endpoint that
supports both SIP and H.323 and registers using both protocols will count as two registrations. H.323
systems such as gateways, MCUs and Content Servers can also register with a VCS, and these will each
count as one registration.
TURN Relays: the number of concurrent TURN relays that can be allocated by this VCS (or VCS cluster).
n

Encryption: indicates that AES (and DES) encryption is supported by this software build.
n
Advanced account security: enables
n
installations.
Enhanced OCS Collaboration: enables encrypted calls to and from Microsoft OCS/Lync Server (for both
n
native SIP calls and calls interworked from H.323). This option key is also required by the B2BUA for it to
use ICE when establishing calls to OCS/Lync clients. Note that if the B2BUA is not used, the
"OCS gateway" VCS will use a traversal call license.

TURN relay option key licenses are shared across all peers in the cluster.
