SSCD
System Status Collection Daemon. The daemon gathers statistics about the system it is running on and
stores this information. Those statistics can then be used to find current performance bottlenecks
(performance analysis, for example) and predict future system load (capacity planning, for example).
static meeting
Non-scheduled meetings configured on the Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch (CTMS) through the
administration interface. A meeting scheduler or administrator, who sets up the static meeting,
manually assigns a meeting access number that is used to access the meeting. See
ad hoc meeting
.
supported Internet
browser
Cisco administration interfaces support Internet Explorer version 6. You can use Internet Explorer
versions 6, 7, or 8, or Firefox version 3.x with the CTS 500 32”.
switching mode
CTS Manager configuration. CTS 3000 and CTS 3200 endpoints only.
Auto-Assign—Switching mode is determined by the default CTMS policy, which is configured in
System Configuration > Policy Management page of your CTMS setup.
Room—All the participant displays of the endpoint are switched each time the meeting participant who
is speaking changes to a meeting participant at a different endpoint.
Speaker—Only the corresponding participant display (left, center, or right) is switched; the remaining
participant displays are not switched. Using the speaker switching mode provides the ability to view up
to three different remote endpoints at the same time.
Sysop
System Operation (sysop) Logs. Sysop messages describe system activity. Some messages can help you
identify and resolve system operation problems. These messages are available to the user from the CTS
Administration interface. See the “Managing Log Files” section of the troubleshooting chapter for your
CTS device.
Syslog
System Logs (syslog). Debugging logs that are collected from your system and used by Cisco technical
response to diagnose and resolve issues. These messages are not ordinarily seen by the user.
T
TIP
Telepresence Interoperability Protocol. The TIP Specification provides a protocol for interoperability
between videoconferencing products, including streaming of audio, video, and data to and from
videoconferencing products.
This feature adds TIP 7 support to the CTS and CTMS 1.7 release. The main purpose of the feature is
for CTS and CTMS to operate in a strict TIP V7 mode when communicating with devices advertising
TIP V7 support. This feature adds the ability to differentiate between MUX and TIP modes of operation
to help with the strict adherence to the TIP V7 specifications as well as improving debugging and other
operational processes. This feature adds the ability for the CTS to be configured for operation in a
TIP-only mode and configured with a set of media features typically not used in Cisco-only
deployments. This helps the CTS and CTMS inter-operate with third-party TIP devices.
TIP allows only endpoints with Restricted media settings to join Cisco TelePresence meetings. TIP
endpoints are expected to be able to send restricted media and to drop endpoints that can only transmit
un-restricted media. See the
Telepresence Interoperability Protocol for Developers
home page on
Cisco.com.
