Installing Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop
During the installation you perform a basic Desktop configuration by defining servers which Desktop
uses. Follow recommendations in this section to configure Desktop correctly:
•
In a single Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, use the same gatekeeper as
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU is configured to use. If you install Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager as a part of your deployment, specify the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager internal gatekeeper.
•
In a multiple Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, you must use Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager as your meeting control server. In a single Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, you can use either Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3545 MCU or Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.
•
The default Desktop web server port is 80. If other applications are using port 80, the installer
prompts you to specify a different port.
If you wish to use port 80 in such cases, access the Services panel on your computer and disable the
IIS Administration, HTTP SSL and World Wide Web Publishing services. You can do this before
installing the Desktop server software or when you receive the "ip address/ port is in use" error
during installation.
After disabling these services, installation completes normally and Desktop clients can connect to
the Desktop server using port 80.
•
If you wish to use the HTTPs protocol for security, configure the Desktop web server port to 443
after installation is complete.
