Chapter 1. Cisco DX Series Devices

Cisco DX Series devices provide these capabilities:

- High-definition (HD) voice and video communications

- Conferencing with Cisco WebEx meeting applications

- Presence and instant message with the Cisco Jabber messaging integration platform

- On-demand access to cloud services

- Native support for HD 1080p at 30 frames per second (fps)

- Video calling interoperability to other H.264 video endpoints, such as these:

- Cisco Unified IP Phone 8900 and 9900 Series models

- Cisco Jabber platform on personal mobile devices

- CTS-compliant Cisco TelePresence endpoints and room systems

Because they are Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) compliant with the open Android platform, Cisco DX Series devices offer you access to the ecosystem of Cisco and commercial third-party applications that are developed for Android. You can also develop custom applications for Android and deploy them to both Cisco DX Series devices and mobile users. The Cisco DX Series devices also take advantage of the touch-directed ease of use of Android, and its ability to personalize experiences with customizable home screens, communications widgets, ringtones, and more.

AAC-LD Codec

Cisco DX70 and Cisco DX80 support the AAC-LD wideband audio compression codec.

Acoustic Echo Canceller and Laptop Shadowing

Cisco DX80 includes an Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) and laptop shadowing. Users at the far end of a call experience clear audio quality even if the user puts an obstacle, such as a laptop, in front of one of the microphones. If the current microphone is blocked by an object, the device automatically switches to the other microphone array in the other foot.

Binary Floor Control Protocol

Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) allows users to share a presentation within an ongoing video conversation. BFCP is automatically enabled.

Content Viewing and Sharing via HDMI In Port

With Cisco DX70 and Cisco DX80, you can share your PC (MAC) desktop, or any other source that uses HDMI, by connecting to the HDMI In port.

Presentation starts only when you tap Start sharing. Before you do so, you see a preview that is not shared with anyone.

You can use this feature to see your own PC desktop in a call without sharing it. The video call is then displayed as a picture-in-picture (PiP).

Document Camera

With Cisco DX70 and Cisco DX80, your system camera can work as a document camera. Just tilt your camera to present a physical document or any other physical object that is lying on your table in front of the system. The camera senses what you do to it and automatically flips the image vertically. Thus, the image appears as expected to the far end.

IPv6

The device supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) addresses.

Configure IPv6 in the Settings application under Ethernet options.

PC Display

With Cisco DX70 and Cisco DX80, you can use the PC Display feature to see your own PC desktop in a call without sharing it. The video call is then displayed as a picture-in-picture (PiP). If you use PiP but want to return to a full-screen video call without sharing your PC desktop, double-tap the PiP (without tapping any of its buttons).

SE Android

The Security Enhancements for Android (SE Android) feature enhances device security. SE Android protects against malicious applications through prevention of attempts to execute unauthorized or dangerous code on the device. SE Android does the following:

- Can prevent privilege escalation by processes

- Can prevent misuse and limit damage if privileged process, such as root, is compromised

- Provides centralized, enforced, analyzable policy

- Protects from undiscovered vulnerabilities

The device contains a policy that specifies the data that an application, process, or user can access. SE Android supports two modes:

- Permissive

- Enforcing

Anything that violates the policy is logged. If the mode is enforcing, the action is denied. No user nor administrator control exists over the policy or the mode.

When you upgrade a Cisco DX650to Release 10.2(2), it remains in permissive mode because it must work with existing field units. After a Cisco DX650 has been factory reset, the mode switches automatically to enforcing mode.

Enforcing mode remains in effect for the Cisco DX650 unless the device is downgraded to a firmware release below 10.2(2). Upon upgrade to Release 10.2(2) or later, the device returns to permissive mode until factory reset is performed.

Cisco DX70 and Cisco DX80 devices are always in enforcing mode from the factory. Cisco DX70 and Cisco DX80 devices cannot be placed in permissive mode.

Self Care Portal

From the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal, users can customize and control phone features and settings. For information about the Self Care Portal, see the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal User Guide located at Click Here .

As the administrator, you control access to the Self Care Portal. You must also provide information to your users so that they can access the Self Care Portal.

Before a user can access the Cisco Unified Communications Self Care Portal, you must use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to add the user to a standard Cisco Unified Communications Manager End User group.

You must provide end users with the following information about the Self Care Portal:

- The URL to access the application. This URL is:

http://<server_name:portnumber>/ucmuser/, where server_name is the host on which the web server is installed and portnumber is the port number on that host.

- A user ID and default password to access the application.

- An overview of the tasks that users can accomplish with the portal.

These settings correspond to the values that you entered when you added the user to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

SHA-256 Manufacturing Installed Certificate

Cisco DX70 and Cisco DX80 use a manufacturing installed certificate (MIC) with the signature algorithm of SHA-256 with an RSA 2048 key. The signature algorithm requires Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS), and Secure SRST support.

The SHA-256 MIC feature has the following support requirements:

- Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 9.1(2) and later

- ACS Release 5.2 and later.

Note

ACS 5.2 and later do not support EAP-FAST with EAP-TLS inner method. Use EAP-TLS or migrate to ISE for EAP-FAST with EAP-TLS inner method.

- IOS 12.4(15)T1 and later

- Cisco Identity Service Engine release is 1.1 and later. The EAP-FAST with EAP-TLS inner method is supported starting from ISE release 1.2 and later.

The Cisco certificate authority issuing the MIC for this series of phones can be obtained from the following links if separate applications are used and these applications need to authenticate MIC from the phone:

- Click Here

- Click Here

These Cisco certificate authorities must be imported into applications in order for the applications to authenticate MIC for Cisco DX Series devices.

Two-Microphone Array Beam Forming

Cisco DX80 includes two-microphone array beam forming. If the user moves out of the beam (that is, out of the camera view), the sound sent to the far end weakens. All sound sources that are not located within the pickup beam (in front of the unit) attenuate.

TIP/MUX

Telepresence Interoperability Protocol (TIP)/Multiplex (MUX), or TIP/MUX, is an IP protocol that is used to negotiate audio and video media options between endpoints prior to reception or transmission of media.

TIP/MUX is invoked for multiparticipant conferences and enables content sharing.

Uniform Resource Identifier Dialing

The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Dialing feature allows the user to place calls by using an alphanumeric URI address as a directory number, for example, bob@cisco.com. The user must enter the URI address to select the contact.

The screen displays the call information for the URI call. The call logs record the URI call information in the Call History and the Details page.

For more information, see Features and Services Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

- Uniform Resource Identifier Dialing Enhancement

Uniform Resource Identifier Dialing Enhancement

Allows you to specify the device display preference for calls that have both Directory Number (DN) and URI available.

If the URI Dialing Display Preference is set to DN, DN is displayed when available. If the URI Dialing Display Preference is set to URI, URI is displayed when available.

To specify the preference, set the URI Dialing Display Preference service parameter in the Clusterwide Parameters (Device - Phone) pane for the Cisco CallManager service in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.

Cisco DX650 User Interface Updates

This release includes updates to the user interface for all core applications and the Setup Assistant. The Desktop Widget was added to provide shortcuts to configured applications on the Home screen.

Limitations and Restrictions

- When a user is sharing their computer desktop in a Cisco DX70 or Cisco DX80 presentation call, any audio from the desktop is not shared.

- Users should only pair their mobile phone with one Cisco DX Series device at a time.

- The only supported external cameras for Cisco DX650 are the Logitech C920-C Webcam and Logitech C930e.

- Cisco DX Series devices do not support Android apps that require portrait mode, GPS, or Accelerometer. However, apps that support both portrait and landscape are supported in landscape mode.

- Use the Google Play Store to find and add applications to your phone. Depending on your security settings, the Google Play Store may not be available. Cisco does not guarantee that an application that you download from a third-party site will work.

- For Cisco DX70, the HDMI Out port is enabled. However, the HDMI Out port only supports mirror mode.

- For Cisco DX80, the HDMI Out port is disabled.

- To prevent unauthorized copying of Digital Rights Management (DRM) protected HD video through the HDMI port, an HDMI monitor (or any HDMI sink device) that is connected to a Cisco DX650 or a Cisco DX70 must be HDCP compliant.

- Problem Report Tool in Simple Mode

- Device Redistribution

- Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Problem Report Tool in Simple Mode

In Simple Mode, the Problem Report Tool generates logs and debug data locally, and does not email these to the device administrator. Instead, the user is given a file name, which the administrator can access through the device serviceability web page.

Device Redistribution

When an administrator redistributes a device (that is, gives the device to a different user), the administrator should execute a factory reset of the device to remove any user data that was previously stored on the device.

If an administrator changes the user ID of a device from user A to user B, none of the data that is associated with user A will be available to user B. The new user must download apps and other data. This scenario may apply to a single user that changes from an old user ID to a new user ID.

Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Anything that degrades network performance can affect voice and video quality, and in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

- Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan

- Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack

To reduce or eliminate any adverse effects, schedule administrative network tasks during a time when the devices are not being used or exclude the devices from testing.
