Before You Begin
In order to enable Cisco TelePresence WebEx OneTouch in CTS-Manager globally, make sure the following conditions are met:
•All CTS endpoints are running at least CTS 1.7.X software.
•At least 1 CTMS is configured for Scheduled Meetings.
Once WebEx OneTouch is enabled globally, you will be able to add a Cisco WebEx Server in CTS-Manager under Bridges and Servers.
Enabling the Cisco WebEx Feature on CTS-Manager
Note All Cisco TelePresence applications that are registered with CTS-Manager must be running Release 1.7.0 or later. Some fields on the Application Settings page will not be available if any Cisco TelePresence application that is configured on CTS-Manager is running software prior to Release 1.7.0.
To quickly check your CTS software version, navigate to the System Information screen on your CTS Cisco Unified IP Phone (Info softkey).
To enable the Cisco WebEx feature on CTS-Manager:
Step 1 Navigate to Configure > Application Settings.
Step 2 Select the Bridges & Servers tab.
Step 3 In the WebEx section, select the Yes radio button, as shown in Figure 5-1.

Step 4 Click Apply. A dialog asks you to confirm your settings. Click OK to apply your changes.
Cisco WebEx First Time Setup in CTS-Manager
To begin using Cisco WebEx on your Cisco TelePresence System (CTS), you must perform a one-time initial registration so that information from the CTS-Manager can be pushed to the Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS) to enable the audio portion of the Cisco WebEx meeting. The meeting scheduler is validated in Cisco TelePresence Manager using the user's Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) login.
Note Cisco WebEx account information is not stored in Cisco TelePresence Manager.
Before You Begin
1. You will need at least one CTMS running software version 1.7.0 or later, and it must be configured in CTS-Manager before you can configure CTS-Manager for Cisco WebEx. The CTMS talks to the Cisco WebEx Telephony Gateway to establish the audio portion of a Cisco WebEx meeting. Complete the steps in Chapter 3 "Configuring Cisco TelePresence WebEx OneTouch on the Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch" before starting the tasks in this section.
2. Obtain the following from your Cisco WebEx Account Team:
–Cisco WebEx Scheduling Server (host) URL—Provides access information for CTS-Manager to reach the Cisco WebEx scheduling server.
–Cisco WebEx Scheduling Server hostname and password—A unique host name and password for your Cisco WebEx scheduling server account.
3. Verify that your CTS-Manager DNS server is enabled so that your Cisco WebEx hostname entry can be authenticated. For more information about configuring DNS, see
Cisco TelePresence Manager 1.7 Administration and Installation Guide on Cisco.com.
Proceed to Creating a Cisco WebEx Account in CTS-Manager.
Creating a Cisco WebEx Account in CTS-Manager
This section describes how to perform the one-time initial registration in CTS-Manager that specifies the Cisco WebEx account information so that you can add Cisco WebEx functionality to Cisco TelePresence meetings.
