Prerequisites
Before beginning the tasks in this guide, verify the following:

System Assembly documentation. See the Cisco TelePresence System Install and Upgrade Guides
for your system on Cisco.com:
Products > TelePresence > Cisco TelePresence System > TelePresence System
2.
Provide a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to achieve connectivity. CTS uses
DHCP by default.
3.
Cisco Unified CM is running and is using supported software for your release. For complete
Cisco TelePresence software compatibility information, see the software support matrix on the
Cisco TelePresence Administration Software

MIDlets

Check the following:
–
The Cisco TelePresence device name in Cisco Unified CM follows the following format: The
characters “SEP” followed by the device MAC address. Assign the hostname so that it is
resolvable by Domain Name System (DNS).
Note
DNS (domain) is optional.
–
Each Cisco TelePresence/IP phone combination takes 11 units of the Cisco Unified CM unit
license:
—5 units for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970/7975
—6 units for the Cisco TelePresence unit.
–
CTS and the Cisco Unified IP Phone are both configured in Cisco Unified CM as a shared line.
Note
For all SCCP and SIP firmware upgrades from firmware release versions earlier than 8.3(3) to version
8.5(3) or a later release, you must first upgrade your firmware to version 8.5(2). Once you have upgraded
to version 8.5(2), you can upgrade your Cisco Unified IP Phone to version 8.5(3) or a later release.
See the
Installation Notes
section of the
Cisco Unified IP Phone Release Notes for Firmware Release
8.5(3) (SCCP and SIP)
for download instructions.
