Chapter 1 Installing Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager

How to Install Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager

Step 10 In the Configure Servers window, configure server settings:

a.Enter the IP address of your gatekeeper in the Gatekeeper IP address field.

b.Enter the server’s NIC IP address in the IP address field under Use Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager for moderation.

Alternatively, choose Do not enable moderation to work without a meeting control server in a multiple Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment. If you use Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager as your meeting control server, enter the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager IP address in the IP address of Cisco IOS H.323 Gatekeeper field so that Desktop uses the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager internal gatekeeper.

Note You must use the specific IP addresses, not loopback addresses.

Step 11 In the Configure Streaming window, choose a server to manage streaming:

a.When your deployment includes multiple Desktop servers, you must define which one of your Desktop servers is enabled for streaming.

Choose This Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop will be used to manage streaming services to define the Desktop server that you are currently configuring as the Desktop server that is enabled for streaming.

Note We recommend that you choose only one Desktop server to be a streaming server.

If you install the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Streaming Server on a separate server, type the IP address of that server in the Darwin Streaming Server IP address field.

b.When your deployment includes multiple Desktop servers, and you do not want to define the Desktop server that you are currently configuring as the Desktop server that is enabled for streaming, choose Use an alternative Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop to manage streaming services.

Type the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Desktop server that is enabled for streaming in the Server URL field.

c.Choose Disable streaming for this Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop to disable streaming for the Desktop server that you are currently configuring.

Step 12 In the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Hostname Configuration window, specify the hostname of the server that clients should use to connect to the Desktop.

Note Make sure that you specify the hostname that clients can resolve.

Step 13 In the Ready to Install the Program window, click Install.

Step 14 Click Finish.

Step 15 After installation is completed, verify that the Desktop server is operational:

a.Access the Desktop Server Administration interface by connecting to the following URL: http://<SERVERFQDN:PORT>/cuvm/admin

b.Log in using the default user name (admin) and password (admin).

c.Open the Status tab of the Desktop Server Administration interface, and verify that all four types of servers are connected.
