About This Solution

The Cisco® DX70 and DX80 are next-generation collaboration devices, supporting audio and video communication. They deliver
powerful, always-on, highly secure and integrated unified communications, high-definition (HD) video, and support for cloud
services. The IT administrator can now migrate from Android-based firmware to CE (Collaboration Endpoint) software. CE
software on the DX offer many new features such TMS One-Button-to-Push (OBTP),TMS PhoneBooks, Far-End-Camera-Control
(FECC), VCS-Registration, H.323/H263, full Web-UI support, and Spark registration. In addition, CE running on DX aligns the DX
user experience with both the SX and MX series room based endpoints for a consistent end user experience.

Scenario 1. DX70/80 Android to CE Conversion

In this scenario, you will manually convert a DX running Android-based firmware to CE. It is important to understand that CE-on-DX
dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud
requires a brand new CUCM device type. Therefore, the latest CUCM device packs (pre-installed in this lab) are required or
otherwise the CE-on-DX will not register to CUCM. The CUCM minimum requirements for CE-on-DX are CUCM 9.1.2, 10.5.2,
11.0, or 11.5.

Figure 2. Example of the new CE-on-DX device type in CUCM. The old DX Android-based device type on the left just says “Cisco DX” whereas
the new CE-on-DX device type on the right says “Cisco TelePresence DX”

NOTE: It is highly recommended to install the device packs onto CUCM well in advanced of the endpoint firmware upgrade.
Otherwise, the CE-on-DX will be unable to register to CUCM. Device pack installation for a new device type requires a cluster wide
reboot for CUCM 9.1.2, 10.5.2, and 11.0.

Note: There may be situations where Android-based firmware is required on the DX instead of CE. DX will start shipping from the
factory with CE pre-installed and some customers might require Android-based firmware. You will convert your CE-on-DX back
to Android in a different lab on Wednesday.

Steps
1. The DX should register with a 4-digit directory number of 110X. Tap the Call icon, then dial 1111, and enter 6018 as the self-
provisioning ID followed by the # key in order for the device to self-provision as user cholland. Enter PIN 1234 when prompted.
Wait for the device to reboot.

Note: When performing step 1 above, if the IVR fails with a fast/busy tone (due to CST lab network bandwidth limitations), then
skip to step 3 below and continue with the lab.

2. The DX will self-provision as Charles Holland and reboot.

Note: Normally, a DX running Android-based firmware does not auto-register to Unified CM if self-provisioning is enabled on
Unified CM. Instead, it can use LDAP credentials. If your screen says “Get Started” and prompts for LDAP credentials, then type
cholland into the User name box and C1sco12345 into the Password box and tap Sign in. A new device will be created in
Unified CM and automatically register the DX as Charles Holland.

3. On the DX Android-based endpoint, validate the version of software running on the DX. Check the Settings -> About Device ->
Active Load. Is it 10.2.5.207 or higher?

dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

NOTE: The prerequisite for the CE migration to work is that the DX Android-based endpoint be running a minimum of 10.2.5.207 or
higher. Therefore, older versions of DX Android-based endpoints must first be upgraded to 10.2.5.207 or higher, since 10.2.5.207
is the minimum intermediary “CE Ready” firmware.

4. Using your web browser log into CUCM at IP address 198.18.133.3. Click Cisco Unified Communications Manager link.
Credentials: administrator/dCloud123!

Note: If you are unable to connect to CUCM make sure your laptop is plugged into the RJ-45 cable connected to the PC port of the
8800 series or DX. Also, make sure you disable wireless on your laptop so that traffic from your laptop is routed through the RJ-
45 cable. From your laptop, validate you can ping the CUCM at address 198.18.133.3.

5. Navigate to Device > Phone.

6. Find your DX. For the search criteria use Device Type / contains / DX and then click Find.

7. Click the Device Name of your DX.

8. Type the following in the “Phone Load Name” section:

a. For DX70 type: sipdx70.ce821.rel.loads

b. For DX80 type: sipdx80.ce821.rel.loads

Figure 3. Cisco DX device page – Phone Load name

9. Click Save, OK, Apply Config, and then OK again.

NOTE: In the figure below, step A and step B have already been performed for you in the interests of time.

For step B, the file cmterm-synergy-ce8_2_1_no_defaults.cop.sgn has already been uploaded to the dCloud CUCM. This file
contains both the DX70 and DX80 firmware *.loads files necessary to convert an Android-based DX to CE.

You just performed Step C above by manually specifying the *.loads file. Step D will be performed later in the lab after the Android-
to-CE upgrade is complete.

Figure 4. Overview of the Process for Manual Migration of Android to CE using CUCM

dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

Note: The “no defaults” in the file name of the firmware cop file cmterm-synergy-ce8_2_1_no_defaults.cop.sgn, means that
CUCM will not prepopulate the device defaults [under CUCM->Device->Device Settings->Device Defaults] so as to prevent an
accidental upgrade of all DX Android-based endpoints to CE within an enterprise.

10. Validate that the DX upgrade process has begun by looking at the CUCM “Download Status” on the DX phone page. Please
refresh the page to see updated status.

NOTE: The download and upgrade of CE to the DX using the dCloud normally takes approximately 15 to 20
minutes. However, due to varying bandwidth conditions at a given site, the upgrade process might take longer.

Scenario 2. Registering CE-on-DX to CUCM

In this scenario, you will register CE-on-DX to CUCM. Since CE-on-DX requires a new device type in CUCM, you must first
dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud
remove the old Android-based device-type in CUCM. Removal of the old device-type is required because CUCM prohibits
duplicate MAC addresses in its database.

NOTE: Do not attempt registration of CE-on-DX to CUCM without first removing the old Android-based device using the same
MAC address or CUCM will reject the registration. If you see the following error on your CE-on-DX when trying to register to
CUCM, the three most likely reasons are (a) duplicate MAC addresses in the CUCM database; (b) the device pack was not
installed; or (c) the CUCM was not rebooted after the installation of the device pack.

1. After DX has upgraded to CE, find the old DX and delete it from CUCM. Do not perform this step if the DX is still running
Android or still downloading CE software from CUCM.

Figure 5. Delete old Android-based DX device-type

Note: Later in this lab, we will use CUCM self-provisioning to add the directory number for Charles Holland to the CE-on-DX. An
alternative manual migration technique (not covered in this lab but listed here for reference) is first to create a Bulk Administration
Phone Phone Template for the Cisco Telepresence DX. Then, you rename the MAC address of the Android-based device to
a dummy MAC (instead of deleting the old “Cisco DX” device), and then choose “Migrate Phone” on upper right side of the device
page where it says “Related Links” and select the Cisco TelePresence DX template. The advantage of this technique is it will
migrate basic device settings (such as the directory number) and automatically delete the old device type, all without the use of
CUCM self-provisioning.

2. After the deletion of the old device-type, allow the CE-on-DX to auto-register to CUCM. To do this, tap on the Get started icon
on the Welcome screen, then tap Other services.

Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series: Enhanced Line Mode

Last Updated: 16-September-2016 dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

About This Solution

This lab will explore a new feature in the Cisco 8800 series called Enhanced Line Mode available for the 8811, 8841, 8845, 8851,
8861, and 8865. This new feature in phone firmware 11.5 provides the ability to enable all 10-line keys on the Cisco 8800 as
programmable line keys (PLKs). The PLKs can be a mix of lines keys or functions such as speed dials. Historically, only 5-line
keys were available. This lab will compare and contrast the default experience versus the new Enhanced Line Mode in order to
determine the best solution for any given environment.

Figure 16. Session Line Mode [the default] versus Enhanced Line Mode

The Cisco 8845 and 8865 are video phones that are also able to run Enhanced Line Mode. The 8865 is at the high end of the
8800 series spectrum in terms of features and functionality. The Cisco 8865 features include:
• 720p HD video
• Two USB ports for charging smartphones or tablets
• Intelligent Proximity for telephony for integration with your mobile device
• 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless LAN

Scenario 1. Understanding Session Line Mode (Quick Review)

With the introduction of the feature Enhanced Line Mode on the Cisco IP Phone 8800 series, it is necessary to introduce the term
Session Line Mode in order to understand the default behavior versus the new behavior. In short, SessiondCloud: The Cisco
Line Mode Demo Cloud
is what the
phone runs when it is not in Enhanced Line Mode. By default, the Cisco 8811, 8841, 8845, 8851, 8861, and 8865 run Session Line
Mode by default even after they have been upgraded to 11.5 firmware or higher. The administrator must take action after the
firmware upgrade and explicitly enable the phone to run Enhanced Line Mode using a new CUCM parameter.

Note: The end user has no ability to enable Enhanced Line Mode from the phone itself.

Since Enhanced Line Mode allows the phone to use all 10-line keys, it is tempting to enable it for all deployments. However, before
enabling Enhanced Line Mode in a production environment it is important to understand that Session Line Mode is the Cisco
recommendation for high call volume environments or for busy boss/admin scenarios. When Session Line Mode is properly
configured, the phone will display all call “sessions” on the right hand side of the screen to provide easy management of calls.

Note: The 8961 and 9900 series phones run only Session Line Mode and cannot be configured for Enhanced Line Mode.

You should carefully review the functionality of both Session Line Mode and Enhanced Line Mode in order to determine the best
solution for a given environment. This section will quickly review Session Line Mode best practices so that you understand how it
is different from Enhanced Line Mode.

Figure 17. Session Line Mode Best Practices

CST 2015 11.x lab from last year explores basic and advanced 88xx phone features. This lab will not duplicate the content from

find the lab below and take this later to explore more features of the 88xx series. CST 2016 provides an executive summary
(review) of Session Line Mode best practices in a multi-line environment.

NOTE: Many post-deployment customer issues are a result of under-configuration of Session Line Mode. This best practice
summary is intended to help you avoid under-configuration issues for the 8800 series as well as the 8961 and 9900 models.
dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

12. Click Save, and Apply Config, OK.

13. Return to main phone configuration and click Modify Button Items.
dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud
14. Move Line2 from Unassigned Associated Items to Associated Items and click Save, and then Close button.

Figure 18. Reorder Phone Button Configuration

15. Verify you phone has re-registered with the new second line as shown in the figure below.

Figure 19. Secondary Line Display

16. Now enable Session Line Mode best practices by enabling the first of two features. On the phone configuration page, use Find
(Ctrl+F) to locate the setting Show All Calls on the Primary Line toward the bottom of the page. Change the drop-down list
box to Enabled.

17. Now enable the second feature. Find (Ctrl+F) the setting Revert to All Calls towards the bottom of the page. Change the
drop-down list box to Enabled and verify the Override checkbox is checked.

Figure 20. Show All Calls on Primary Line parameter and Revert to All Calls.

dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

18. Click Save, OK, Apply Config, and then OK again.

NOTE: Show All Calls on the Primary Line means you will see an unfiltered view of all calls across all lines even when the
primary line is in focus. Revert to All Calls allows the phone to return to the primary line after a call is ended on a non-primary line.

19. Select line 7017 by pushing the left button associated to that line. Does the phone go off-hook? No, it simply puts the line in
focus so that only the sessions for that line are displayed on the right. (As we will see in the next section, Enhanced Line Mode
changes this behavior and is one of the major differences between Session Line Mode and Enhanced Line Mode).

20. Now select Anita’s line and call the DX at 6018. Answer the call and leave the call up. (Mute the DX).

21. Now select the line button 2 (x7017), select New Call, and call the SX. Answer the call and leave the call up. (Mute the SX).

22. Select Anita’s line and show call list. You should now see both the DX call and the SX call listed as “sessions” on the right-
hand side of the display even though the primary line is selected. This allows the primary line to see the call on line 2 even
though line 2 is not in focus.

Figure 21. Show All Calls on Primary Line

In a high call volume or boss/admin environment, seeing all the calls displayed on the right hand side might be preferred over
Enhanced Line Mode. As we will see in the next section, in Enhanced Line Mode there is no combined or aggregated listing of all
calls on all lines displayed as a list of “sessions.”

 Cisco dCloud

23. From Anita’s line, resume the call to the DX, and then end the call to the DX. Now select line 7017, resume the call to the SX,
and then end the call to the SX. Does the focus change back to Anita’s line? Yes, because Revert to All Calls is enabled.

Scenario 2. Enabling Enhanced Line Mode

In this scenario, you will enable Enhanced Line Mode on the phone.
dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

NOTE: In the interests of time, the minimum firmware and device packs have already been installed on the dCloud CUCM.
However, outside of this lab if the environment does not meet both of the requirements below, then Enhanced Line Mode will not
be enabled:

A. Run the minimum phone firmware version of 11.5 on 8811, 8841, 8845, 8851, 8861, or 8865.

B. Install the latest CUCM device pack to enable the feature. The latest CUCM device pack containing the Enhanced Line
Mode parameter was published on July 2016. Enhanced Line Mode is supported on CUCM 9.1.2, 10.5.2, 11.0.1, and 11.5. Out of
these four versions of CUCM, only CUCM 11.5 has this parameter native, and the other CUCM versions require the latest device
pack.

1. On your 8800 series device page, scroll to the bottom and find “Line Mode.” Change the drop-down list box to Enhanced Line
Mode and verify the Override checkbox is checked.

Figure 22. Line Mode setting

2. Click Save, OK, Apply Config, and then OK again. The phone should now reboot into Enhanced Line Mode.

3. Validate visually that your phone is in Enhanced Line Mode (see figure below). The easiest way to tell is if the new call icon
and the recents clock icon are missing. These are located on buttons 6 and 7 in Session Line Mode. If the icons are still there
on buttons 6 and 7 as shown on the left in the figure below, then the phone is still in Session Line Mode. If they are missing
then the phone is in Enhanced Line Mode.

4. Click button 2 for line 7017. What happens? How is this different from Session Line Mode?

5. On the CUCM device page, validate that you see 10 lines available for use. It should resemble the figure below.

Figure 24. 10 Lines available in Enhanced Line Mode

Note: If you do not see 10-lines displayed on given 8800 series phone after enabling Enhanced Line Mode, or if you wish to
customize the template, you must create a 10-key Phone Button Template and apply it to the phone.

6. Create a new Speed Dial on line 6 using the “Modify Button Items” on the CUCM device page. Then from the phone device
page click on “Add a new speed dial” and make this the directory number of the SX. Call the line label “SX”.

Figure 26. Create a speed dial on line 6

Note: If you are unable to configure the speed dial exactly as shown in the figure above, try selecting one or more of the “None”
entries and then using the arrows that look like this move these to the “Disassociate These Items” window. You should now

be able to move the “Add a new SD” over from the right window to the left window. Now use up/down arrow to move the speed
dial so that is appears as shown in the figure above.

7. Click the speed dial on line 6 and validate it works. Your device should now resemble the figure below.

8. On button 7, just under the SX speed dial, create a new line 3 using “Modify Button Items”

9. Under Association Information click Line [3] – Add a new DN.

Figure 28. Create a new Directory Number on Line 7

10. For Directory Number enter 7018.

11. Click on a blank area in the page to refresh the page.

12. Change the Route Partition to Prime-DN-PT and click on a blank area again.

13. For Calling Search Space select Prime-CSS.

14. Scroll down toward the bottom of the page to the Line 7 on Device section and enter x7018 for Line Text Label.

15. Click Save, Apply Config, OK.

16. On the phone, press Line button 7. (Notice how it also goes off-hook immediately). Your device should resemble the figure
below. When you press line 7 and hang up, what line is in focus?

Note: Revert to primary line is enabled by default in Enhanced Line Mode and is unrelated to the prior Session Line Mode setting.

Figure 29. Directory number on line 7

dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

Note: The ability to click a line button and have it go off-hook immediately is not possible in Session Line Mode on the 8800. This
new behavior is consistent with legacy TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing) phones and key systems. This behavior is also consistent
with both the 7800 and 7900 series phones.

17. Place a call on Line 7017 to DX. (Answer then mute the DX).

18. Now put that call on hold from the 8800 with the Pause/Hold button. From the same line (x7017), press “New Call” and call the
SX. (Mute the SX). Now put the SX on hold from the 8800 using the Pause/Hold button. Notice that the icon on the line x7017
oscillates from with the number “2”. See figure below.

Simplified New Call UI

dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

1. Simplified New Call UI within Enhanced Line Mode provides the ability to remove the pop-up you see when you go off-hook.
The reason why this feature has value to some customers is that it better emulates a 7900 series environment. This feature is
disabled by default because enabling it turns off predictive dialing. Nevertheless, the feature is there should you need it.

Figure 32. Simplified New UI: Before and After

2. On CUCM on the 88xx device page, find (Ctrl+F) the setting Simplified New Call UI toward the bottom of the page.

3. Change the drop-down list box to Enabled and verify the Override box is checked. Save, OK, Apply Config, and then OK.

Figure 33.

4. On the 8800 go off-hook on any line.

5. Validate the absence of the New call pop-up window. Type the digits for the DX 6018 and place a call. Hang up.

Scenario 3. Best Practice Considerations

In this scenario, you will understand when to choose Session Line Mode versus Enhanced Line Mode. In the previous section, you
looked at the benefits of Enhanced Line Mode such as the ability to use all 10-line keys, TDM-like behavior,dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud
and easy call
management. In this section, we will look at situations that might be better suited with Session Line Mode. We will also look at the
strengths and weaknesses (deployment considerations) of each mode.

1. Consider the following Enhanced Line Mode scenario. The line for Anita has 2 calls, line x7017 has 3 calls, and line x7018 has
2 calls. In order to know who is on a given line at any point in time, an administrative assistance might have to click each line
to find the specific caller because he cannot see all the sessions at a glance. In the figure below, although there are 7 calls in
progress, it is not possible to see all 7 calls in one listing. Instead, you have to click on each respective button to see the
sessions for that line.

Figure 35. Multiple calls on multiples lines in Enhanced Line Mode

2. By contrast, the exact same calls above are represented below on an 8800 series phone in Session Line Mode with a KEM.
As you can see in the figure below, all the calls for all the lines are listed on the right-hand side of the phone. The first two calls
are displayed for line one (Anita) with the session number on the far left indicating two calls on Anita’s line. Likewise, the next
three calls are on line two (x7017) with the session number on the far left indicating three calls on line x7017.

Note: The full listing of all seven calls (inclusive of those on the KEM) will not fit on the display below. Therefore, you must use the
navigation key on the center of the phone to scroll down so that you can see all of the calls in progress.

3. Think of some current or recent phone projects you have worked on. Based upon the two figures above, what is the best mode
for the environment? Would it make sense to provide a hybrid deployment with boss/admin running Session Line Mode, and
everyone else in the organization running Enhanced Line Mode?

In-Room Control on Touch 10 lab

Last Updated: 30-September-2016 dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

About This Solution

Introduction
With In-Room Control you can add custom elements to our Touch 10 user interface. Such user interface extensions may be
controls for lights or blinds, or other peripherals controlled by external control systems.

Since both the Cisco video system and the other peripherals are now controlled from the Touch 10 user interface, you will get a
consistent user experience throughout the meeting room.

Figure 39. In-room control architecture

You can also add content sensitive controls appearing only when in a call and/or only outside calls. This means that altogether you
have three sets of panels at your disposal:

Global panel has its entry icon in the status bar at the top of the Touch 10 display. Once established, this entry icon
is visible at all times.

Homescreen panel has its entry icon located to the right of the buttons appearing along the bottom of the Touch 10
display. This entry icon is visible outside calls only.

Scenario 1. Configure In-room controls

dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud

Steps
1. Connect to the web interface of the video system using a web browser (you can find the IP address using the Touch 10 or
using the dCloud resources information) sign in to the video system's web interface with the administrator credentials.

2. Navigate to Security > Users and click Add new user… enter the username RoomControl, leave only the RoomControl
role ticked, untick Require passphrase change on next user sign in and enter the passphrase cisco. Click Create user to
create the new user account.

NOTE: A user with the RoomControl role can create in-room controls. The user has access to the In-room control editor and
corresponding development tools.

3. Signout of the video system by clicking the user icon in the top right and side and click Signout

4. Sign in using the newly created RoomControl account with the password cisco.

Note: The login is case sensitive. If you are unable to sign in, make sure the login is spelled exactly as RoomControl

5. Notice that now all options are removed from the web interface bar, only Integration remains. Click Launch Editor. If a panel
is shown with buttons configured delete the panel using the trashcan icon in the bottom right corner. Repeat this for any other
configured panels (the Create icons shown in Figure 42. will read Edit wherever a panel has already been created) and then
select Export > To codec in order to remove the configuration.

NOTE: You can launch the editor from the video system’s web interface. If an in-room control panel already has been created on
the Touch 10, this will automatically load into the editor, ready to act as a starting point for your design. When you push a new
panel to the video system, you will immediately see the result on the Touch 10.

This lab uses the editor connected to the video system, there are two places you can download an offline editor from:

• Download from http://www.cisco.com/go/in-room-control-docs

• Or, sign in to a video system’s web interface with administrator credentials, navigate to Integration > In-Room Control, and click
Download Editor.

If you choose to download the offline editor, extract the files from the downloaded zip-file. Retain the folder structure.

7. Familiarize yourself with the options available in the editor, it is a drag and drop interface.

NOTE: What you see in the editor's design panel is similar to how the in-room control panel will appear on the Touch 10 (see
Figure 43. ).

An in-room control panel is arranged in pages. Each page consists of one or more rows, which you can populate with text and user
interface elements known as widgets.

Widgets are arranged in a four-column grid. The widgets are placed into the grid according to the following rules:

• A widget fills between one and four columns depending on its size.

• Rows are right-aligned.

• If you add more widgets than fits in one line, widgets wrap to a new line within the same row.

How you use the user interface elements for your meeting room is up to you. You can, for example, create panels with preset
buttons for lights and blinds, or support for more complex scenarios such as controls for many microphones in a large meeting
room.

12. Save the configured panel to the codec by selecting Export > To codec.

13. Your Touch 10 should now show a new icon (it will be a light bulb if you did not select anything else in the initial panel
configuration.

14. Open a terminal and log in to the codec using SSH and the same RoomControl credentials as used earlier. Enter the
command xfeedback register event/UserInterface/Extensions/Event

Note: If you do not have a SSH terminal client like Putty on your laptop, then RDP to 198.18.1.36 as cholland/C1sco12345 and
launch Putty from the desktop. Then, using Putty, SSH to the IP address of the SX.

NOTE: The Feedback commands are used to specify what parts of the configuration and status hierarchies to monitor. Feedback
is only issued on the RS-232, Telnet or SSH session for which it is specified. If you are connecting to the codec with multiple
sessions, you have to define feedback individually for each session.

In-room control events are available in two versions from the terminal.

• UserInterface Extensions Event - suited for terminal output mode

• UserInterface Extensions Widget - suited for XML output mode

21. Click Labs > Room to open a hidden simulator. Use the newly configured buttons on the Touch 10 to adjust the lights, blinds
and projector and observe the changes reflected in the simulator, terminal and developer tool log.

22. In the simulator click the three lines icon in the top left corner to open a menu. Click Load config and then OK. Your Touch 10
now has a new panel called Room on the homescreen panel next to Lights & Blinds and there is a new global panel in the
top right hand corner of the Touch 10 with a thermometer icon. View both panels to give you an idea of what other things are
possible with in-room controls.

23. Go back to the in-room control editor and create a new In-Call panel. Add your own controls (you can also add Icons
(available in the top right corner next to the General widgets).

24. Make a call and observe that the new panel appears on the Touch 10.

25. Design some controls you think could be useful for customers, for instance you could create a controller for a video playback
device such as an Apple TV or Blu-ray player, control a document camera, control complex microphone areas with zoned
audio, etc. Think about where these panels would be best suited, should they be in-call only or only out of call and what icon
would be best for that panel.

1. On both the DX and SX, create a backup.

2. On both the DX and SX in the web-UI go to Maintenance -> Backup and Restore

3. Click take Backup. For DX prepend the name of the file with DX-<filename> and for SX prepend the filename with SX-
<filename>

5. Save these to your laptop.

6. Important! Make a note of the IP address of the SX codec you are accessing from your web browser.

7. On the SX Web-UI, from within the room-control editor, export the configuration to a file. Save this to your laptop.

IP Dialing (with no call control)

1. Using the Web-UI, factory reset both the DX and SX.

2. On the DX Touch screen after it restarts, click "Get started", "Other services", "Change service", "Activate Later". Choose
timezone and apply. Then click "Later"

3. On SX, you will need to pair the SX Touch 10 to the SX codec. The Touch 10 should discover the codec after a 2 or 3 minutes. If
it does not, when the Touch 10 asks for “Select a room system”, type in the IP address of the SX codec you noted from step 6
above. Click Enter. For login just enter admin with no password. Instead of auto-registering to CUCM, select "Change service"
instead of activate, then "activate later", select timezone, then "later"

4. On the DX, type the IP address of the SX codec and answer the call. Hang up.

5. On the SX, type the IP address of the DX (or find it in recents) and answer the call. Did it work? If not, how do you fix?

6. On both endpoints, restore the backups. After you see “applied successfully”, you may need to reboot the devices using
maintenance -> restart if the device does not re-register to CUCM.

7. On DX and SX, go back into Web-UI and change admin password to cisco

8. On the SX, login as admin, go to Integration -> In-Room Control. Choose Import->From File. Choose the file you saved. Now
choose Export -> To codec.

Control Default Wallpaper

This feature allows you to administratively push wallpaper, such as a corporate logo, from Unified CM without any end user
interaction required to make the wallpaper the default. In addition, this feature locks the wallpaper in place so that the end user
cannot change it. This feature is available for the 8811/41/45/51/61/65. It was first introduced on the 7900 series running
9.3(1)SR4 or later; and the 8961 and 9900 series running 9.3(1) or later.

This feature requires no manipulation of the List.xml file. This significantly reduces the administrative complexity. The key
requirement for 8811/41/45/51/61/65 is that the background image be exactly 800x480 to match the physical screen dimensions of
the 8800 phone. The 8961/9900 by contrast uses 640x480.

In this lab, we will push a background image called cisco1.png to the 8800 phone. The cisco1.png we have already created for you
and is located on the Workstation 1 desktop (198.18.1.36 user cholland/C1sco12345) in a folder called CST.

First, upload the cisco1.png to the TFTP directory Desktops/800x480x24.

1. Go back to Unified CM.

Scenario 3. Converting CE back to Android (To Be Completed at the end the

“Moving to the Cloud” lab and just before the Spark API lab).
dCloud: The Cisco Demo Cloud
In this scenario, you will learn how to rollback the DX from CE to Android

NOTE: There are two ways to rollback. The first is a CUCM-centric method. The second is uploading a *.pkg to the Web-UI on CE.
The second method is quick and easy and preferred for this lab.

1. Factory Reset the CE on DX registered to Spark

2. Determine the IP address of your DX and using your web browser, navigate to the Web-UI of the CE-on-DX.

3. Navigate to Maintenance > Software Upgrade

4. Click "Choose File". Browse to the USB drive and find s52040ce8_2_1.pkg. Install this software.

5. After step 4 is complete and the device has rebooted, navigate to Maintenance > Software Upgrade

6. Click "Choose File". Browse to the USB drive and find dx70.ce8.2.0-syn208.rel.pkg. Install this software.The *.pkg file to
rollback CE-on-DX to Android

7. Wait for the system to convert from CE to Android

Note: In a production environment, you would need to delete the old “Cisco TelePresence DX” device-type in CUCM that
corresponds to the MAC address of your CE-on-DX or else the Android-based DX will not register.
