~/Library/Preferences/com.Cisco.Movi.plist
Preferences may be configured by using the defaults tool. A configuration command will have this
format:
defaults write/delete com.tandberg.Movi <Preference> <value>
The ‘write’ command will set the <Preference> to the <value>, where the value can be either a string or a
number. The number ‘0’ means ”false” while the number 1 means “true”.
For example, set your Advanced settings by starting Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.tandberg.Movi InternalVcs internal.provserver.com
defaults write com.tandberg.Movi ExternalVcs external.provserver.com
defaults write com.tandberg.Movi Domain example.com
Distributing and installing the setup file
Please note that installing Movi requires administrative rights on the computer.
New deployment
For new deployments, Cisco recommends that you use your own deployment tools.
To distribute to end users, you can send a customized email message from TMS:
1. Go to
Systems > Provisioning > Directory
.
2. In the
Workspace
pane, click
Send Account Info
.
3. In the dialog that opens, click Configure email settings.
4. Verify that SMTP host, username, and password have been added correctly, or add them yourself.
5. Choose a suitable subject for the email notification.
6. By default, this email message will contain login credentials for Movi and Cisco TelePresence System
E20. If you want users to download and install Movi themselves, you can add the download link to the
same message.
Upgrading
The process of upgrading Movi is controlled by the IT administrator through two Provisioning options in
Cisco TelePresence Management Suite:
Software URL
and
Software Version
.
When these two options are correctly configured, users can upgrade their own Movi client by clicking a
link in the application, which downloads the setup file for the new version.
This method presents users with a choice to upgrade their Movi client. If you want to make absolutely
sure that all clients are upgraded, you can instead opt to use your deployment tool(s) to force the
upgrade.
Upgrading to Cisco TelePresence Movi 4.1
Due to the changes in product name and brand, the Movi 4.1 installer will make some changes to
previous installations. The installer will uninstall whichever previous version of Movi is present on the
system, and the program file and icons are completely removed. However, all profile folders and files are
kept intact on uninstall.
Movi will then install itself to the program file paths described under
File locations
.
