• Cisco VCS and MCU - Conference does not

  Dear community members

  I have problems in the VCS configuration to work with the MCU to join to several endpoints in a conference. The components that I use:

  -Cisco VCS control v8.7.

  -Cisco 5300 MCU 5310 v 4.5 (1.72)

  -3 x SX20 end points

  I recorded every endpoint and MCU on VCS, but I'm not able to do a conference call 3-way, the only option is 1 video and 1 audio (I disabled the Multisite option). It seems that VCS does not yet call the MCU in the game.

  Kindly help us with it.

  Can you tell us how you set up the Conference and how you have configured MCU and endpoints?

  From the sounds of it, you call each end point of one of the SX20s, but you must call simply directly in the Conference on the MCU.  If you want to have a conference point to point between two end points and then degenerate into a multipoint conference on the MCU, you must configure Multiway.

• VCS and integration of Office 365 Lync?

  We have recently moved to Office 365 and include features of Lync for Office Office videophone (as well as IM) but we do not have a Lync server on site to do all the required configurations. Anyone out there experience with the integration of these two products?

  My hypothesis is that it is still possible to somehow, but we will not be able to configure any end point of VCS to vocation user Lync. Is it possible to still have Lync users to call to an endpoint of VCS (which is what I really want to do anyway)?

  My first tests have developed negative did the best that I can with the deployment guide, but I also think I might need to change my domain name to my settings of VCS for a subdomain (as @vcs.mydomain.com), now they are both using the same top level domain name, and I fear that the two systems are not 'find' the other because their research are limited to their respective systems.

  Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  Chris

  Chris,

  You cannot configure Lync to federate to an environment of VCS in the same way that you can federate to other domains running Lync, this isn't how the integration works.

  The role of the VCS in integration with OCS/Lync is to translate between Microsoft SIP and based on the SIP standard, which is the reason why a or several control devices VCS need to communicate directly with a Director or a Front End Processor. You cannot communicate directly with a low of VCS an OCS/Lync Edge server.

  I'm not familiar with Office 365 and which control this service gives you on your server (if any) infrastructure, but if you look at the deployment of OCS/Lync and setup guide, you must perform the VCS on the OCS/Lync server to trust them and possibly to set up static routes I do not think that you will be able to perform these steps by using Office 365 (please, correct me if I'm wrong).

• Cisco VCS and LDAP for authentication of users

  I have a question about setting up LDAP for authentication of the user on the VCS. I want to have redundancy in my LDAP link. I believe that this is possible by setting a FULL domain name to the address of the LDAP server, then selecting a type of SRV resolution. What I'm not clear on is what the value for the server address would be if I used actually as SRV type of resolution. I should also add that I am looking to use TLS

  To clarify, if my AD domain name is myad.netcraftsmen.net. I have set the field as server address:

  myad.netcraftsmen.NET: assuming that VCS properly interrogate the DNS for the _service._proto correct parameters?

  or would I need to create an SRV record to that effect and set the field server address with the address (including the fields of _service._proto)

  or I need to specify one of the SRV records formats used by MS AD areas (there are several).

  If the latter, then what SRV record for TLS. I don't see records with port 389 (non-secure).

  My intuition tells me that this is probably the first option, but I could be far away.

  Anyway, thanks in advance for any input.

  Kind regards

  Bill

  Hi William,.

  I just checked it on a X6.1 VCS, and it seems that VCS searches SRV _ldap._tcp.domain (where 'domain' has been entered as the server address), both when the encryption is set to 'None' and 'TLS '.

  Hope this helps,

• Cisco VCS and composition to an IP address

  I have a question about the composition of address Ip and VCS. In the Administrator's guide, he says that VCS determines that an IP address that will be called if it is:

  -is the IP of a locally registered endpoint

  -Beach one of the subzone of address membership rules is the responsibility of intellectual property

  The second point is that of interest. As part of the way in which it is presented, I take this means that if a subarea membership rule has a range of IP addresses that includes the address of a non-registered endpoint then VCS will still attempt to place the call to the endpoint not registered regardless of the setting "Calls for unknown IP addresses" (under the numbering plan). For example,.

  Assume the end point has (EP - A) is enrolled in a VCS control that is configured to use the mode indirectly for "calls to unknown IP addresses. The idea here is that there is a highway of VCS. Suppose that there is an end point (EP - B) on the internal network that EP - A wants to call. EP - B is behind the firewall, but it does is not registered in the VCS - C. Finally, suppose the SCV - C has a subarea (let's call it "Internal-Unregistered") with a membership of 10.10.10.0/24 rule.

  Now, if the address IP of EP - B is 10.10.10.10 and EP - A dials by IP, will be the call successfully established? Based on the Administrator's guide, the VCS will see the EP - B IP as "known." The Administrator's guide does, really, that the call would be placed. I'm stuck sorta messaging RAS, since EP - B would not be exchanging messages with the VCS - C RAS.

  I also wonder about calls from unregistered endpoint. EP - B could call EP - A directly. I don't want to support this behavior in the design (I recommend rather using the numbering of the URI. I am considering set up the Alias of relief on the VCS - C to channel calls from unknown devices to an attendant on the MCU. Regardless, what I was asking is the following:

  If I have a membership rule subarea as above and EP - B sends a message of call setup to the VCS - C, the VCS - C would still see the call as coming from the default Zone of the local area? The reason I wonder is because of the way the Administrator's guide defines "known IP addresses.

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Bill

  Hi Bill,

  to answer your question about the first scenario (where EP at dials the address IP of the EP B), VCS would attempt to place the call if there is a rule of type search 'AnyIPAddress' for the local area on the VCS - C (and assuming that the previously mentioned subzone containing 10.10.10.0/24 exists). VCS would be in this case send a message of CONFIGURATION H225 EP B.

  For the second scenario, where EP B contains the IP of the EP, EP B would send that an INSTALLATION H225 EP EP a. message would then for the message INSTALLATION with an INSTALLATION containing a reason 'routeCallToGatekeeper", instructing EP B to dial the address IP of VCS instead, since the VCS want to be included in the call, signaling path.

  To answer your last question, with regard to the area in which a call of an endpoint not registered (when the IP address of endpoint belongs to a subnet-type subfield) comes on, the answer is that the appeal turns on the default Zone. Calls will be local area if the call comes from a real end point recorded.

  I hope this helps.

• Restricting calls between a subarea and specific extensions on Cisco VCS

  Hello, I use Cisco VCS 8.5.3, my goal is to restrict calls between a subarea and specific extensions.
  I tried following solutions:

  1. Download of XML strategy
  2. Use of political appeal web interface in order to limit calls

  XML file:

  
   
   

  
   
     
     

  
     
     

  
     
     

  
       
     

  
     
   

  
  
  

  But when I apply the XML file, or try using the web simple rule (for example: 11111 12222 destination source, dismiss the action) I'm still able to place the call to 11111 to 12222.

  What can be the cause of the problem and what else can I try to be able to prohibit calls between a particular Subzone and exentions?

  Attached, is an example of CPL script that should work.  Using this script, CPL, I was able to block calls to a subarea set to a destination alias located in the subzone of default and was always able to call any other end point in the default subfield without problem.  Note that you must enter the name of the subarea, as you have configured on the VCS, including spaces if they exist.

  The scenario is based on the example of CPL "limiting access to a local gateway" X8.5 VCS Administrator's Guide on pg 413, other documents of CPL reference and examples can be seen starting on pg 410.

• Cisco VCS X6.1 and MS Lync 2010 over TLS

  Hi all!

  I have a problem of integration CiscoVCS (X6.1) and Lync 2010.

  I couldn't configure control VCS to Lync connection over TLS, but I've done with TCP.

  If I try to TLS, there is detail = "bad packet length", event = 'Outbound TLS negotiation Error' records in the control of VCS event log.

  The VCS and Lync certificates are of the same CA approved with their FQDNs as object names and the VCS and complete Lync with EDCS are in the DNS system. Of course, VCS and complete Lync, what subjects of certificates, used in VCS approved area and host of destination trust app Lync.

  Calls for VCS is the intellectual property of the EFF Lync. We use no HLB and administration. Also, VCS is autonomous, without any load balancers or clustering.

  Lync signaling is done, but as I see it, VCS cannot send the data back.

  Lync is on Server 2008 R2 x 64

  Thanks for your suggestions!

  In reflection of the c20 position, what image software do you run on the VCS?

• Vcs Tandberg and Cisco VCS control

  Hello

  I have a client with an old would invest video and new servers.

  Old video servers

  Control system Tandberg video Communication Server - part number = 117500

  Application of Tandberg video Communication Server Expressway - part number = 1163402

  New video servers:

  VCS License Control - Part Number - R-VMVCS-CTRL-K9

  VCS Expressway License - Part Number - R-VMVCS-EXPWY-K9

  According to Cisco x8.2 Clustering:

  -Each peer runs on a hardware platform with equivalent functionality; for example, you cannot cluster one
  peer running on one core 2 average VM with peers running on base 8 large virtual machines

  Means that the physical old VCS cannot be grouped with new virtual VCS.

  Thank you.

  Hi zizou.

  You can include a device VCS with a VCS VM as long as their matches of software and their hardware platforms have equivalent capabilities.

  Device VCS clustered with VCS VM running on core 2 MediumVM = YES

  VCS machine clustered with VCS VM running on 8 cores LargeVM = No.

  "you can even cluster that are running on the standard devices with peers running on core 2 Medium VMs, but you can not group a peer running on a standard unit with peers running on base 8 large virtual machines.

• Presence with VCS and Findme

  Hello!

  What is the reason why the VCS who runs findme has also run the presence server.

  With the combination that there must be only one server of presence for a specific domain

  and the need that an area should be added on the presence server, authentication...

  This does not fit on some deployments I've seen.

  There is no known workaround solution? I would like to have a dedicated presence, server

  eventually manage several domains, just do presence and then maybe other VCS

  running findme (findme different clusters, as this is also possible with TMSPE).

  And perhaps so VCS with integration of Lync (who also have the obligation to perform

  Server presence in this topic).

  Hi Martin,

  FindMe and presence server must reside on the same VCS since it is currently the only way the presence server will be able to aggregate the presence to devices which are linked to an account FindMe.

• What is the difference bewteen MCU, VCS, and SRI (DSP-3)

  Hi all

  We lack CUCM 9.X. I want to integrate Cisco 9971, 8945 with TP Endpoint (EX60 and Tandberg C40). I read this wonderful document (https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-30750), but I still have some doubts.

  What is the difference bewteen MCU, VCS, and SRI (DSP-3). For all I know, ISR running DSP3 is the chepaiest option but I don't know if the HD video is supported.

  Hello

  According to the document, you are referring to which I posted previously

  VCS is a call control system call manager but for video end points only, then CUCM is for voice and video, and now it becomes control system of very mature appeal for video communications with native support for video of many recordings of points

  MCU is a material that can be used to host the multi point/party video calls that can be registered to CUCM or VCS according to design

  SRI with DSP/PVDM 3 is the concept of the MCU, but can be used for small multi-point calls and normally remote sites that need local accommodation to a call to reduce the load on the WAN link when most of the participant in the same place for example! and it dose taken support HD but limited features compared to MCU

  for example PVDM3 doe does not support HD when participants are expected to use different video formats

  hope this helps

• Configure to integrate Cisco ASA and JOINT

  Hello

  We have Cisco ASA and JOINT, need assistance on the integration of the same thing; Please email me so that I'll share the details of the architecture.

  Thank you best regards &,.

  REDA

  Hi reda,.

  If I correctly your diagram, you do not want to send any traffic from the external switch to the JOINT with a SPAN port and all traffic from your DMZ interfaces with another.

  Is this correct?

  If so, can you tell me why you want to inspect the traffic before it goes through the firewall? As I said in my original answer, we generally advise putting IP addresses after the firewall.

  Not to mention that in your case, I guess that some traffic will be inspected twice so you will need to assign a different virtual sensors to each JOINT internal interfaces to ensure that the same instance does not see the traffic of several times.

  Kind regards

• Cisco VCS - C keeps filling in Purge on MSDS systems

  Hello

  I have a very weird question that is quite difficult to explain. We had a few failures of Fan on my Cisco VCS - C and we did a RMA number and received a new one. I installed this VCS in April this year. I start then notice every time we add a new system to their MSDS ID TMS is of the order of 2860. We have only 42 systems at this stage. Then I noticed when I'm in the systems tab Purge TMS keep my new Cisco VCS - C, populating the name of the system and the type of system, this product about 2800 times. Someone else experiencing something similar to this?

  I'll try to purge these systems, the only thing is that this happen, what can I do else do I completely purge my VCS of TMS and readd it?

  TMS system IDs are generated by TMS and increases when you add several systems.  You might be able to change the ID of the SQL database, systems are stored in the dbo.objSystem table, but I do not recommend because the ID of the system could be used elsewhere and you can potentially break TMS and make things worse.
