A ACU Auxiliary Control Unit. Provides the ability to conserve energy by powering the lights, projector, and optional peripherals for Cisco TelePresence systems on and off. Auxiliary Control Unit. The ACU is controlled by the CTS Administrator. ad hoc meeting Non-scheduled, administrator-initiated, dial-out meeting. A meeting scheduler or administrator initiates the meeting through the Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS) administration interface by listing the telephone number of the rooms which will participate in the multipoint meeting. See static meeting. alternate host The host appoints an alternate host. The alternate host can start a scheduled Cisco WebEx meeting in lieu of the host. The alternate host has the same privileges as the host and can control the meeting if the host is unavailable. See host. attendee An attendee has minimal responsibilities and typically views session content. Auto Answer A phone set to automatically answer an inbound call. Use the Auto Answer feature in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Activating this option or button causes the speaker phone to go off hook automatically when an incoming call is received. Auto Collaborate Cisco TelePresence supports simple information sharing using a powerful "Auto Collaborate" feature that allows any object, document, or PC application to be displayed in a plug-and-play fashion. Auto Collaborate enables you to share images instantly in multiple locations by plugging in a laptop computer or high-definition ceiling document camera. The Cisco TelePresence 3000 Series built-in projector automatically displays images from the most recently activated device.Ceiling cameras are perfect for capturing images of objects that are too valuable to ship, or cannot easily be copied or sent electronically. Cisco recommends and supports document cameras made by WolfVision, specifically the WolfVision Visualizer. This is a special live-camera system designed for picking up any object on a working surface with perfect illumination and depth of focus. All types of objects (e.g., photos, books, brochures, transparencies, slides, or three-dimensional objects) can be picked up quickly and easily, and meeting participants can use a wireless remote to control light, zoom, or focus.Cisco TelePresence 3000 and 1000 systems support the Auto Collaborate capability, and meeting organizers can project content in multiple locations, including above or below displays, or on the side of a room. auxiliary control unitACU The auxiliary control unit provides the ability to conserve energy by powering the Cisco TelePresence System lights on and off. There is one power inlet, five controlled power outlets, and one power outlet that is not controlled (unswitched). In addition, there are two serial ports and an incoming and outgoing Ethernet connection that allows you to control peripheral items. The auxiliary control unit is controlled by the CTS Administrator and the unit itself is located at the rear of a Cisco TelePresence System display screen. See also PDU.The ACU is controlled by the primary codec and controls the individual receptacles on the ACU to turn the light façade on/off automatically. A/V expansion box Audio/video extension unit. Required if your system uses an Auxiliary Control Unit ( ACU).
B best effort Best effort is a single service model in which an application sends data whenever it must, in any quantity, and without requesting permission or first informing the network. For best-effort service, the network delivers data if it can, without any assurance of reliability, delay bounds, or throughput.Best-effort service is suitable for a wide range of networked applications such as general file transfers or e-mail. bit rate Speed at which bits are transmitted, usually expressed in bits per second. black screen codesSystem status information messages that appear on the main display screen before your meeting starts and while the screen is still black. For example, "Please wait, you are the first meeting participant."
For more information, see the Cisco TelePresence System User Guide. See also Meeting Participant Main Display On-Screen Status Messages.
C Called Party Transform Mask field The Called Party Transform Mask field enables the Cisco Unified CM system to modify the called number that is sent in the SIP Invite message. Calls from outside PSTN trunks often present the incoming call with a truncated destination. For example, a PSTN call to 1-408-555-1212 might be truncated by the telephony service provider to 5-1212. The called party transform mask allows a Cisco Unified CM administrator to restore this number to the full dialed number string string. CCP The Conference Control Protocol (CCP) is an interface between the CTS and the CTMS that controls the elements of a Cisco TelePresence meeting. CIF Common Intermediate Format. A video standard that provides 352x288 pixels, or picture elements, of video resolution. Cisco CTI Manager CTI Manager is required in a cluster for applications that use TAPI or JTAPI Computer Telephony Integration (CTI). The CTI Manager acts as a broker between the CTI application and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Service. It provides authentication of the application and enables control or monitoring of authorized devices. The CTI application communicates with a primary CTI Manager and, in the event of a failure, will switch to a backup CTI Manager. The CTI Manager should be enabled only on call processing subscribers, thus allowing for a maximum of eight CTI Managers in a cluster. Cisco recommends that you load-balance CTI applications across the various CTI Managers in the cluster to provide maximum resilience, performance, and redundancy. Cisco TelePresence Gateway URL Cisco TelePresence T Series The Cisco TelePresence T Series high-definition presentation capabilities and simple controls on a touch display help make your meeting as immersive and natural as possible. See Immersive Telepresence Endpoints. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Cisco Unified CM. Application that extends enterprise telephony features and capabilities to packet telephony network devices such as IP phones and multimedia applications. Open telephony application interfaces make possible services such as multimedia conferencing and interactive multimedia response systems. See also CUCM Cisco WebEx Site Administration URLCisco WebEx site administrator's URL, which is provided to you by the Cisco WebEx team. You will need this URL when you integrate and provision your Cisco WebEx account in the Cisco WebEx Site Administration interface.

See the "Defining a Route Pattern for Cisco WebEx" section of Configuring Cisco TelePresence WebEx OneTouch on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. DNS Domain Name System. CTS-Manager uses a DNS server to resolve hostnames into a IP addresses or IP addresses into hostnames. If you have a DNS server on your system, Cisco requires that you enable DNS. Disabling DNS limits the system's ability to resolve some domain names.For more information about configuring the DNS, see the Installing or Upgrading Cisco TelePresence Manager chapter of the Cisco TelePresence Manager 1.7 Administration and Installation Guide on Cisco.com. DSCP Differentiated Services Code Point. A field in the header of IP packets for packet classification purposes. DSCP for TelePresence Calls field description: This parameter specifies the DSCP value for Cisco TelePresence calls. This parameter is set to the default value unless a Cisco support engineer instructs otherwise. This is a required field, if present on your system. Default: CS4(precedence 4) DSCP (100000) and is selectable per device. DVI DVI cables are used for direct digital connections between source video (namely, video cards) and LCD monitors.
E enbloc dialing Allows you to compose and edit the number to dial on your phone's display before it is sent to the phone system to be dialed. endpoint Cisco TelePresence System (CTS) endpoint. The combination of hardware and software that comprise a Cisco TelePresence System. The hardware for an endpoint includes a Cisco Unified IP 7900 Series telephone, one or more large-screen meeting displays, plus presentation devices, cameras, microphones, speakers, and in some models, lighting systems. EWS Exchange Web Services. Managed API that provides an intuitive interface for developing client applications that use Exchange Web Services. The EWS Managed API provides unified access to Microsoft Exchange Server resources, while using Microsoft Office Outlook-compatible business logic. The EWS Managed API communicates with the Exchange Client Access server by means of EWS SOAP messages. extranet An extranet is a private network that uses Internet protocols and network connectivity. An extranet can be viewed as part of a company's intranet that is extended to users outside the company, usually via the Internet. It has also been described as a "state of mind" in which the Internet is perceived as a way to do business with a selected set of other companies (business-to-business, B2B), in isolation from all other Internet users. In contrast, business-to-consumer (B2C) models involve known servers of one or more companies, communicating with previously unknown consumer users.An extranet can be understood as an intranet mapped onto the public Internet or some other transmission system not accessible to the general public, but managed by more than one company's administrator(s). For example, military networks of different security levels may map onto a common military radio transmission system that never connects to the Internet. Any private network mapped onto a public one is a virtual private network (VPN), often using special security protocols.
F Favorites The Favorites softkey and screen on the CTS Cisco Unified IP Phone. For information about configuring Speed-Dials (Favorites) and Corporate and Personal Directories (Directory) from Cisco Unified Communications Manager, see the Managing Cisco Unified IP Phone Features chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide for the Cisco TelePresence System on Cisco.com. fluorescent lamp A lamp that uses electricity to excite mercury vapor in a gas that results in an energy that produces short-wave ultraviolet light. This light then causes a phosphor to fluoresce, producing visible light. Sources of light in most rooms are either incandescent light bulbs that use tungsten filaments or fluorescent lights. Each of these light sources, and the amount of light in terms of lumens or watts, produces a different color temperature. This color temperature is sometimes expressed using terms such cool, warm, or daylight, but can be expressed more precisely in kelvins (K) as a numeric value. When adjusting the images on the display screens for the Cisco TelePresence system, you must take the color temperature of the ambient light in the room into consideration. FPGA Field-programmable gate array. An integrated circuit designed to be configured by the customer or designer after manufacturing. full dialed number string Full dial-string: Country code, area code, 8-digit calling number. For example, 14085551212. full duplex mode Transmission of data in two directions simultaneously.
G guest operating system An operating system that is installed and run in a virtual machine. In the Cisco TelePresence environment, the CTS Manager, CTMS, and CTRS are guest operating systems.

Its responsibilities include architectural oversight of IETF activities, Internet Standards Process oversight and appeal, and the appointment of the RFC Editor. The IAB is also responsible for the management of the IETF protocol parameter registries. IDR An IDR frame is a special kind of I frame used in MPEG-4 AVC encoding. IDR frames can be used to create Advanced Video Coding (AVC) streams, which can be easily edited. Immersive Telepresence Endpoints CTS 3210, CTS 1300, Cisco TelePresence T3. Provides an immersive, interactive in-person experience. See also personal system. incandescent lamp A lamp that allows an electric current to pass through a thin filament, heating it and causing it to emit light. Sources of light in most rooms are either incandescent light bulbs that use tungsten filaments or fluorescent lights. Each of these light sources, and the amount of light in terms of lumens or watts, produces a different color temperature. This color temperature is sometimes expressed using terms such cool, warm, or daylight, but can be expressed more precisely in kelvins (K) as a numeric value. When adjusting the images on the display screens for the Cisco TelePresence system, you must take the color temperature of the ambient light in the room into consideration. initialization frames Initialization frames ( IDRs or GDRs) are sent to endpoints that switch to a new source. This new source sends the initialization frame to that endpoint, and to any endpoint that may already have been viewing that source. These initialization frames are of lower quality than the P-frames that are used at all other times. Because of this, endpoints that were already viewing that source will perceive a brief quality flicker from that source. Internet model (free path) The Internet model is an unsecured "free path" model of packet delivery: Packets are delivered in any way possible and each uncontrolled router on the way to the destination handles how to deliver the packet to the next stop. See VPN model (fixed path). IP address A device identifier on a TCP/IP network.
L LCD Liquid crystal display. The LCD display is an accessory for the Cisco Digital Media Player (DMP) for use in your digital signage network or your enterprise TV network.

See the Cisco TelePresence Manager Installation and Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.See also Permitted User and Premium User.
P P-frame An easily compressible video frame type. A video frame is compressed using different algorithms that allow varied amounts of data compression. These different algorithms for video frames are called picture types or frame types. The three major picture types used in the different video algorithms are I, P, and B. Participant List A list of Cisco WebEx meeting participants displayed on the phone that are visible when you touch the Participant List softkey or the phone screen touch button on the fully configured CTS Cisco Unified Phone. pass the ball Process whereby the meeting host enables another caller to become presenter, so that they may share their desktop or application with others in a Cisco WebEx meeting. PDU Power distribution unit. Multiple outlet power strip designed to deliver conditioned power to mission-critical networking, server or telecom equipment. It is often used in conjunction with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).In a networking environment, devices need to be powered continuously, either from a whole site generator or rack mounted UPS power source, and since many networking devices in use today are fitted with dual redundant power inputs, the total plug count can approach 80 or more—with many requiring two power sources to further mitigate the risk of power failure.Correct routing of the various power cords to the PDUs and auxiliary control unit is critical for the safety and success of the Cisco TelePresence System. Route each power unit to a different 20 amp circuit to prevent circuit overload when all the electrical components are properly installed. Permitted User Cisco WebEx user role configured in the CTS-Manager Administration interface. You can configure CTS-Manager to enable a Cisco WebEx session with each Cisco TelePresence meeting; these users are permitted to request Cisco WebEx for specific meetings using CTS-Manager.User roles are configured in CTS-Manager Administration Configure > Access Management.

R RFC Request for Comments. Document series used as the primary means for communicating information about the Internet. Some RFCs are designated by the IAB as Internet standards. route flapping Route flapping occurs when a router alternately advertises a destination network via one route then another (or as unavailable, and then available again) in quick sequence. Route flapping is caused by pathological conditions (hardware errors, software errors, configuration errors, intermittent errors in communications links, unreliable connections, etc.) within the network which cause certain reachability information to be repeatedly advertised and withdrawn.
S scheduled meeting Multipoint TelePresence meetings are scheduled by end users using Microsoft Exchange or IBM Domino clients in the same manner that a point-to-point meeting is scheduled. Scheduled meetings require no CTMS administrator interaction. CTS Manager is a required component for scheduled meetings. It provides the interface between Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino and the CTMS, allowing the appropriate resources on the CTMS to be reserved for the multipoint meeting. screen resolution The fineness of detail that can be presented in the image on the CTS main display screen. Recommended screen resolution for Cisco TelePresence is 1024 x 768. SD Standard definition display. secondary codec Codecs that assist the primary codec in the large Cisco TelePresence 3000/3200 systems.

A spirit level is included with the CTS 1300 camera kit. SSCD System Status Collection Daemon. The daemon gathers statistics about the system it is running on and stores this information. Those statistics can then be used to find current performance bottlenecks (performance analysis, for example) and predict future system load (capacity planning, for example). Standard User Cisco WebEx user role configured in the CTS-Manager Administration interface: Cisco WebEx is enabled per meeting. static meeting Non-scheduled meetings configured on the Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS) through the administration interface. A meeting scheduler or administrator, who sets up the static meeting, manually assigns a meeting access number that is used to access the meeting. See ad hoc meeting. switching mode CTS Manager configuration. CTS 3000 and CTS 3200 endpoints only.Auto-Assign—Switching mode is determined by the default CTMS policy, which is configured in System Configuration > Policy Management page of your CTMS setup.Room—All the participant displays of the endpoint are switched each time the meeting participant who is speaking changes to a meeting participant at a different endpoint.Speaker—Only the corresponding participant display (left, center, or right) is switched; the remaining participant displays are not switched. Using the speaker switching mode provides the ability to view up to three different remote endpoints at the same time. Sysop System Operation (sysop) Logs. Sysop messages describe system activity. Some messages can help you identify and resolve system operation problems. These messages are available to the user from the CTS Administration interface. See the "Managing Log Files" section of the troubleshooting chapter for your CTS device. Syslog System Logs (syslog). Debugging logs that are collected from your system and used by Cisco technical response to diagnose and resolve issues. These messages are not ordinarily seen by the user.
T TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Simplified version of FTP that allows files to be transferred from one computer to another over a network, usually without the use of client authentication (for example, username and password). TIP Telepresence Interoperability Protocol. The TIP Specification provides a protocol for interoperability between videoconferencing products, including streaming of audio, video, and data to and from videoconferencing products.This feature adds TIP 7 support to the CTS and CTMS 1.7 release. The main purpose of the feature is for CTS and CTMS to operate in a strict TIP V7 mode when communicating with devices advertising TIP V7 support. This feature adds the ability to differentiate between MUX and TIP modes of operation to help with the strict adherence to the TIP V7 specifications as well as improving debugging and other operational processes. This feature adds the ability for the CTS to be configured for operation in a TIP-only mode and configured with a set of media features typically not used in Cisco-only deployments. This helps the CTS and CTMS inter-operate with third-party TIP devices.TIP allows only endpoints with Restricted media settings to join Cisco TelePresence meetings. TIP endpoints are expected to be able to send restricted media and to drop endpoints that can only transmit un-restricted media. See the Telepresence Interoperability Protocol for Developers home page on Cisco.com. trap A Simple Network Management Protocol ( SNMP) trap is a message which is initiated by a network element and sent to the network management system. See the Cisco TelePresence System Message Guide. triple system A Cisco TelePresence System featuring three display screens.

V VGA Video Graphics Array port and cable for Cisco TelePresence. A CTS endpoint initiates a presentation at any point by plugging the VGA Auxiliary cable into the CTS endpoint presenter's laptop, which automatically shares from the presenter's laptop. The last participant in the meeting to plug in their laptop with the VGA cable shares their presentation using PiP. See the Cisco TelePresence System User Guide for more information about sharing presentations. virtual machine A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a machine (a computer, for example) that executes programs like a physical machine does. A system virtual machine provides a complete system platform which supports the execution of a complete operating system (OS). See the Cisco TelePresence System Commercial Express Installation Guide on Cisco.com for more information. VLAN ID The identification of the virtual LAN, which is used by the standard IEEE 802.1Q. Being on 12 bits, it allows the identification of 4096 VLANs. VMware VMware software provides a completely virtualized set of hardware to the guest operating system. VMware software virtualizes the hardware for a video adapter, a network adapter, and hard disk adapters. The host provides pass-through drivers for guest USB, serial, and parallel devices. In this way, VMware virtual machines become highly portable between computers, because every host looks nearly identical to the guest. In practice, a system administrator can pause operations on a virtual machine guest, move or copy that guest to another physical computer, and there resume execution exactly at the point of suspension.
