Cisco TelePresence Manager View of Configuration and Security Options for Cisco
TelePresence System Endpoints
A red X indicates that the particular feature is either not configured or currently unavailable on the Cisco
TelePresence System endpoint. A locked padlock indicates that web services communications from the
Cisco TelePresence System endpoint are secured via Transport Layer Security (TLS). An open padlock
indicates that web services communications from the Cisco TelePresence System endpoint are in clear
text. Note that this functionality allows the viewing of only certain capabilities configured on the Cisco
TelePresence System endpoint. All changes to the Cisco TelePresence System endpoint configuration
are handled through the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, which is discussed next.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
From an overall TelePresence deployment perspective, the primary function of the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager is a SIP back-to-back user agent for session signaling. However, the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager also plays a central management role for TelePresence deployments.
From an FCAPS perspective, the primary roles of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager are in
configuration management and security management. The device configuration and software image
version for each of the Cisco TelePresence System endpoints is centrally managed through the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration web-based GUI, and downloaded to each
Cisco TelePresence System endpoint when it boots up. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager
therefore plays a central role in the initial provisioning of Cisco TelePresence System endpoints onto the
network infrastructure, as well as any ongoing changes to the configuration of the Cisco TelePresence
System endpoints. Figure 6-30 provides an example of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administrator web page, showing the TelePresence endpoints configured for the particular Cisco
Unified Communications Manager.
