Setting
Description
Internal
VCS
The DNS address of the Cisco VCS Control cluster you want to connect to. Movi will
always look for this address first when connecting. It is possible to specify which port
on the Cisco VCS Movi should connect to. For example
InternalVCS.example.com:5063
.
External
VCS
The DNS address of the Cisco VCS Expressway cluster you want Movi to connect to.
If Movi fails to connect to the Internal VCS, it will try this address. It is possible to
specify which port on the Cisco VCS Movi should connect to. For example
ExternalVCS.example.com:5063
.
Transport
Determines the transport layer used when connecting to the Cisco VCS. The options
available are
Auto
,
TLS
, and
TCP
. See the section on
Call setup
for more
information.
Using DNS
Movi can use IP or DNS addresses to locate the Cisco VCSs.
Using DNS addresses offers advantages such as:
n
Redundancy: if you have more than one Cisco VCS, using a DNS that translates to the IP address of
all Cisco VCSs will enable Movi to "fail over" to other Cisco VCSs in case of a fault in one Cisco VCS.
n
Location awareness: for global companies, it is possible to configure the DNS servers so that Movi will
be directed to the "local" Cisco VCS wherever it may be.
n
Flexibility: using DNS makes it possible to change the IP address of your Cisco VCS later on.
Movi also supports DNS SRV records, which allow for even greater redundancy and flexibility because
they contain information such as "Priority" and "Weight".
Windows client pre-configuration
Registry settings
Movi registry keys can be used to preconfigure the client. They are located at:
n
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cisco\Movi\2.0
– default settings for all users
n
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cisco\Movi\2.0
– settings for a specific user
Note:
The Movi 2.x registry keys are valid for all later releases. This means that upgrading does not
require setting the registry keys again.
The following is an example of how to set the registry keys:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cisco\Movi\2.0]
"InternalVcs"="internal.provserver.com"
"ExternalVcs"="external.provserver.com"
"Domain"="example.com"
