Chapter 8 Interoperability with Legacy Video Conferencing Devices

Configuring Cisco TelePresence Interoperability

Enable SIP signaling on the CUVC. A SIP proxy is not required for interoperability.

From the Protocols tab, click SIP. Click the Enable SIP Protocol box as shown in Figure 8-3.

Figure 8-3 SIP Configuration Screen

Note SIP must be enabled on the CUVC. CTMS must connect to CUVC using SIP. When CTMS dials the CUVC number, it sends a SIP INVITE to Unified CM for that number. Unified CM must be configured to route that number to CUVC using a SIP trunk. CUVC can connect to legacy video conferencing participants using either SIP or H.323.

(Optional) Disable the SCCP protocol to save ports.

From the Protocols tab, click SCCP as shown in Fix XX. Click the Disable SCCP Protocol box.

Enable H.323 signaling on the CUVC.

From the Protocols tab, click H.323 and the click the Enable H.323 Protocol box as shown in Figure 8-4.
