D14726.14 EX Series Administrator Guide TC7.1, APRIL 2014.
Introduction Introduction Web interface
New features and improvements
Improved support for Collaboration Edge
Collaboration Edge now supports Cisco Unified
Communications manager (CUCm) User Data Service (UDS),
which adds scalability towards the number of CUCms in an
Expressway deployment.
Collaboration Edge also supports and requires TLS
verification for increased security. The endpoint will verify
that the Edge server has a certificate signed by a Certificate
Authority that Cisco trusts. If certificate validation fails,
the endpoint will not receive the provisioning and not be
registered.
Disabled root account
Cisco has decided to close down the root access
permanently on TC software. This increases the security
level of the endpoints, at the cost of reduced troubleshooting
abilities.
Remote support user added for troubleshooting
A remote support user may be created on the codec
with assistance from Cisco Technical Assistance Center
(TAC). This will give read access to the system, and
access to perform a limited set of commands that can aid
troubleshooting. The remote support user should only be
enabled for troubleshooting reasons when instructed by
Cisco TAC.
Ethernet statistics for codec is now available via Touch
It is possible to get network statistics for the video system
(codec) and Touch controller from the Administrator Settings
menu the Touch controller.
System settings
New default value for VLAN voice mode
The default value for Network 1 VLAN Voice Mode has
changed from Off to Auto.
For endpoints that are shipped with TC7.1, and for endpoints
that are factory reset, the default value is Auto. This enables
an endpoint that used to be in the data VLAn to join the voice
VLAn, if available.
For endpoints that are upgraded to TC7.1, the setting will
keep the value that it had before the upgrade. If the setting
had the old default value, it will remain Off. This will preserve
the behavior for upgraded endpoints.
Minor changes on Touch interface

quality for content with many details, e.g. Excel spreadsheets,
is improved.
