Connecting the Cisco TelePresence Touch controller to Codec C Series

A C Series codec running software version TC4.1 or later can be controlled using the Cisco TelePresence Touch controller (instead of using the remote control).

Connect the Touch controller

The Touch controller can be connected to the codec in two different ways:

1.Connect the Touch controller to the codec via LAN.

The process of associating the Touch controller to the codec is called paring.

Note: The codec is signalling that it is available for pairing for 30 minutes after it is switched on.

2.Connect the Touch controller directly to the codec’s second Ethernet connector.

Note: To use this mode of operation set Direct connection to On on the codec. Go to Administrator settings > Pairing > Direct connection using the web interface or the remote control.

Touch controller set-up

Once the Touch controller is connected to power, the set-up procedure begins. Follow the instructions on screen.

If you have connected the unit to the codec via LAN, you have to select which codec to pair with. If your codec is not in the list of available codecs displayed on the Touch screen, you can select a codec manually by entering its IP address.

If the Touch controller needs software upgrade, new software will be downloaded from the codec and installed on the unit automatically as part of the set-up procedure. The Touch controller restarts after the upgrade.

You can verify that the Touch controller is successfully paired to your codec by checking that the codec address is displayed in the top banner.

If you want more details on Touch installation, please read the Cisco TelePresence Touch for C Series Installation Guide, which you will find on the Cisco web site.
