Section  1:    CMR  Overview  

Solutions Readiness Engineers Version 5.1 Page 7 of 46


Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
What  is  Cisco  Collaboration  Meeting  Room  (CMR)?  
One Meeting, One Experience
Strengthen business relationships with Cisco Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMR). Enable everyone to
meet using virtually any device, for a business-quality video collaboration experience that combines video,
voice, and content sharing technologies.
CMR brings together our industry-leading video conferencing infrastructure and proven, scalable, WebEx
cloud conferencing services to deliver an exceptional meeting experience. With our technology you can
host video-optimized meetings, which are available to anyone, anywhere, on any device.
CMR helps enable people to meet with others in a way that suits their working day. You can:
" Invite others to meet in your personalized, always-available virtual meeting place quickly and
easily, anytime
" Create instant meetings whenever needed, add a third person to your conversation, or start new
meetings
" Reserve the conference rooms and media resources required for scheduled meetings for defined
audiences
Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) is used to configure and manage the Cisco WebEx bridging
feature in Cisco TelePresence meetings. During the meeting, TelePresence participants see live video of
all other TelePresence participants and the video of the most recently active WebEx participant. WebEx
participants see the video of all other WebEx participants and the video of the most recently active
TelePresence participant.

Why Choose CMR?

" Simple: Intuitive controls allow you to create, launch, and join meetings easily
" Proven: Take advantage of industry-leading Cisco video and web conferencing
" Scalable: Superior scale can enable over 500 participants to join a single meeting
" Global: Enjoy global reach with consistent quality
" Flexible: CMR is available in cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployment options

Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
CMR Premises is just that. All components to create and join a meeting in a user’s reserved virtual
meeting room are within the organization’s environment. Cloud services do not come into play. Cisco
TelePresence Conductor, Cisco TelePresence Management Suite, and Cisco TelePresence Management
Suite Provisioning Extension (TMSPE) are configured to facilitate CMR Premises. Conductor utilizes two
databases to do alias matches (Direct Match or Regex) and leverages a new provisioning API to allow it to
integrate with TMS, and by extension TMSPE. As of the early part of 2015, the minimum version
requirements were: Conductor (XC3.0), TelePresence Server (4.1) and/or MCU (4.5), TMSPE (1.4), and
TMS (14.6).
CMR Hybrid leverages an organization’s investment of on premise call control and Cisco TelePresence;
and ties that into WebEx for video rich conferencing. Configuring CMR Hybrid is dependent on Cisco call
control - whether it’s a Voice Communication Server (VCS) centric or Cisco Unified Communications
Manager (CUCM) centric type of deployment. Several components are key to this deployment model,
including TMS (14.6+), TelePresence Server (4.1+) and/or MCU (4.5+) conference bridges, Conductor
(XC3.0+), VCS Control and Expressway (or Expressway-C and Expressway-E) (X8.2.2+ but X8.5+
recommended) and/or CUCM (9.1(2)SU2 or 10.5(2)).
CMR Cloud provides rich video conferencing in the cloud. Sold as an add-on to Cisco WebEx, CMR Cloud
users are able to dial a public URI (SIP or H.323) from any standard video endpoint to join a CMR Cloud
meeting in a WebEx user’s personal room (now known as a collaboration meeting room (CMR). It does
not mandate any call control technology on an organization’s premises. A WebEx Meeting Center site
must be running release WBS29 to support CMR Cloud.

This lab will take the participant through the steps of deploying CMR Premises, CMR Hybrid, and CMR
Cloud.

Section  2:    Preliminary  


Configuration  

Solutions Readiness Engineers Version 5.1 Page 10 of 46


Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
Our  Initial  Environment  

Our lab starts off with two Cisco TelePresence SX20 Quick Set video endpoint systems, registered to two
different call control systems within the same organization. One SX20 belongs to a fictitious user – Alan
Banks. This endpoint is registered to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM). Alan Banks’
SX20 is configured on CUCM with directory number 3040, and is reachable via SIP dialing to the URI of
3040@srevideoX.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com (where the X is your pod number). The second SX20 belongs
to another fictitious user – Annie Cabbot. Annie Cabbot’s SX20 is registered to a Cisco TelePresence Video
Communication Server (VCS) (as its SIP Proxy Server) and is configured with the SIP URI of
4041@srevideoX.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com (again, where the X is your pod number).

The two call control systems (CUCM and VCS) are not fully configured; nor are they linked, so there is no
way for 3040 and 4041 to call one another.

Convert to SIP Early Offer (CUCM-Centric Deployments)


This configuration supports deployments where endpoints are registered to CUCM only or both CUCM and
VCS Control/VCS Expressway. Several prerequisites are required to configure the settings:
• CUCM 9.1(2) or 10.5(2)
• Endpoints in the network registered to CUCM
• Cisco VCS Control (or Expressway-C) (hereinafter referred to as VCS-C) is deployed in the private
network
• Optionally, endpoints in the network registered to VCS Control
• To ensure optimum SIP audio and video connectivity between MCU and TelePresence Server and
the WebEx cloud, it is recommended to set the CUCM region to permit a minimum of 1.3 Mbps

Configure a SIP Trunk between CUCM and VCS-C


• CUCM version: 9.1(2) or 10.5(2)
• VCS version: X8.5
While a SIP trunk between the CUCM and VCS-C is required for endpoints registered to CUCM to
participate in a CMR Hybrid meeting, it is also required for CUCM endpoints to be able to call endpoints
registered to VCS-C (and vice versa).

Solutions Readiness Engineers Version 5.1 Page 11 of 46


Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
SIP Configuration

Step 1: From CMR-WS01-PodX, launch Firefox via either the icon on the desktop or the taskbar.
Step 2: Browse to https://video-cucm/ccmadmin.
Step 3: Login with:
a. Username ! Administrator
b. Password ! C!sc0123
CUCM presents a warning message when first logged in. In the lab a backup device is not
configured and as such this message can be ignored.

Note:

In a production environment it is highly recommended that CUCM is backed up on a


regular basis.

Configure the Cluster Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)


CUCM must be configured with a FQDN so that it can receive calls to URIs (<address>@domain). This is
also required if CUCM is clustered, so that VCS can send the call to any of the CUCMs in the cluster.
Step 4: Continuing in CUCM from the main menus select System ! Enterprise parameters.
Step 5: Locate the Clusterwide Domain Configuration section.

Press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Command ⌘+F (MAC) and search for Clusterwide to locate
Hint:
this parameter faster.

Step 6: Set the Organizational Top Level Domain to srevideoX.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com


The X in srevideoX.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com or in an IP address like 10.10.X.something
should always be replaced by your one- or two-digit pod number. If you are assigned to
Pod 2, X will become the number 2. (This is different from the login used to connect to the
Reminder:
lab environment (pod02)).
In the VCS-E external address (128.107.217.XX), the fourth octet is also unique to your
pod, as shown in the chart on page 7.

Step 7: Set the Cluster Fully Qualified Domain Name to


srevideoX.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com

Step 8: Click Save.

Create a Copy of the Standard SIP Profile for Cisco VCS

There are a few reasons why copies of the default SIP Profiles are created. Firstly, the
default profiles cannot be modified. Copies can be modified with only those changes that
are necessary. Also, creating copies and assigning them to specific duties makes
Why? troubleshooting quicker by not having to search through and making changes to a single
profile that is being used for multiple purposes. Changes made to a common profile
shared by many devices could result in other functionality no longer working - thus
compounding a troubleshooting session.

Step 9: From the main menus select Device ! Device Settings ! SIP Profile.
Step 10: Click Find.
Step 11: Locate the Standard SIP Profile for Cisco VCS and from the right side click on the Copy
symbol.

Step 12: Give the copied profile the following name ! CMR Standard SIP Profile for Cisco VCS.
Step 13: Continue under SIP Profile Information and verify the following:
a. Default MTP Telephony Event Payload Type ! 101
b. Redirect by Application ! Verify the box is checked
c. Use Fully Qualified Domain in SIP Requests ! Verify the box is checked

Step 14: Scroll down to Trunk Specific Configuration.


a. Verify that Reroute Incoming Request to new Trunk based on ! Never.
b. From the Early Offer support for voice and video calls drop down box select ! Best
Effort (no MTP inserted).

Step 15: Under SIP OPTIONS Ping verify that Enable OPTIONS Ping to monitor destination
status for Trunks with Service Type “None (Default)” is checked.

Note: Steps 27 through 31 have already been completed in the lab environment, as they were
required to register the SX20 (3040) to CUCM. They are presented here as reference.
Step 19: Click on the CMR Standard SIP Profile.
Step 20: Verify that the box next to Use Fully Qualified Domain in Requests is checked.

Step 21: Scroll down almost to the bottom of the screen to SDP Information within Trunk Specific
Configuration.
Step 22: Verify that the check box for Allow Presentation Sharing using BFCP is checked.

Step 23: Click Save.

Step 113: Open a new tab in the browser and browse to the first SX20 http://10.10.X.40. This
SX20 is registered to CUCM, is identified as SX20-40, and has extension 3040.
Step 114: Login with:
a. Username ! admin
b. Leave the Password field blank.
Step 115: Open another new tab in the browser and browse to the second SX20 http://10.10.X.41.
This SX20 is registered to the VCS-C, is identified as SX20-41, and has extension 4041.
Step 116: Login with:
a. Username ! admin
b. Leave the Password field blank.
Step 117: On either SX20, click the Call Control button in the top
menu.

Step 119: In the Search or Dial textbox under Contacts, type in the number of the other SX20 (3040
or 4041) and then click the green Call button that appears.

Step 120: Under the Participants section, you should see the call being placed. The status should
progress from Dialing to Connecting; and then the call-control buttons should appear to
indicate that the call is in place.

Is the call from 4041 t0 3040 dropping immediately?


Log into the SX20-40 and verify/set the following setting:
• Configuration ! System Configuration
• From the menus on the left click SIP
Tip:
• Under Profile 1 ! URI
• Make sure this is set to 3040@srevideoX.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com
• From the menus on the left scroll up to Conference.
• Under Auto Answer set the Mode to On. Click Save.

Step 121: If you desire to do so, switch to the other SX20 web interface and click on Call Control
there to see that the call shows as in place there.

The web interface on the SX20s will not show the real-time video feed from the camera or
presentation source, nor will you be able to see the video from the other endpoint on the
web interface. If you click on the Main Source screen, you will be shown a snapshot of
Note:
the camera feed for 10 seconds. If you click on the Presentation Source screen, you will
be shown a snapshot of the presentation feed for 10 seconds – which will be a black
screen, because no PC is connected to either SX20.

Step 122: Click the End all or the single End Call button (the call control
button with the red handset icon) on either SX20 to disconnect the
call.
Step 123: (Optional) If you desire to do so, place a call from the other SX20,
back to the SX20 that you originated the call on in Step 110, to ensure that calls are able to
be made in both directions. Remember to also end this call when you are satisfied that two-
way calling is working.

VCS  Expressway  Configuration  

The TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway or Edge is an important and necessary
component to the deployment of CMR Hybrid. In order to configure the VCS the following, at minimum,
must be in place:
• The VCS Expressway must be running firmware X8.5 or a later release.
• Endpoints are registered to VCS-C, VCS Expressway, and/or CUCM.
• Must be assigned a static IP Address.
• Firewall must have port 5061 open to allow access to VCS Expressway
• Conference Bridge(s) to be used (MCU or TelePresence Server) are already operational within the
network.
• The VCS-C or Expressway-Core is in the private network.
• The VCS Expressway or Expressway-Edge is in the DMZ and has access to the Internet.
• Set zones and pipes appropriately (according to your network’s requirements) to allow a minimum
of 1.1 Mbps for WebEx calls.
• If endpoints are registered to Cisco VCS-C it must be configured as the SIP Registrar/H.323
gatekeeper.
An important step in configuring CMR Hybrid/Cloud is ensuring the VCS Expressway has a WebEx
supported publicly signed certificate. Self-signed certificates are NOT supported.
WebEx supports certificates that are issued by specific Root Certificate Authorities. Certificate providers
may have multiple Root Certificate Authorities and not all may be supported by WebEx. Your certificate
must be issued by one of the following Root Certificate Authorities (or one of their Intermediate Certificate
Authorities) or the call from your Cisco Expressway-E or Cisco VCS Expressway will not be accepted by
WebEx:

• entrust_ev_ca • equifax_secure_ca
• digicert_global_root_ca • entrust_2048_ca2
• verisign_class_2_public_primary_ca_-_g3 • verisign_class_1_public_primary_ca_-_g3
• godaddy_class_2_ca_root_certificate • ca_cert_signing_authority
• Go Daddy Root Certification Authority - G2 • geotrust_global_ca
• verisign_class_3_public_primary_ca_-_g5 • globalsign_root_ca
• verisign_class_3_public_primary_ca_-_g3 • thawte_primary_root_ca
• dst_root_ca_x3 • geotrust_primary_ca
• verisign_class_3_public_primary_ca_-_g2 • addtrust_external_ca_root

This list may change over time. For the most current information, contact WebEx or review the
information at the following link: https://kb.webex.com/WBX83490.

Caution: Wildcard certificates are not supported on Cisco VCS Expressway.

2
To use a certificate generated by entrust_2048_ca with Cisco VCS Expressway upgraded from X7.2, you must
replace the Entrust Root CA certificate in the trusted CA list on the Cisco VCS Expressway with the newest version
available from Entrust. You can download the newer entrust_2048_ca.cer file from the Root Certificates list on the
Entrust web site (https://www.entrust.net/downloads/root_index.cfm).

Section  3:    CMR  Cloud  

Solutions Readiness Engineers Version 5.1 Page 34 of 46


Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
CMR  Cloud  Overview  

CMR Cloud allows participants to join a meeting from the WebEx web application, from a phone, or from
any standards-based video device. Video devices negotiate all media (main video, content, and audio) to
and from the WebEx cloud. This media flows are setup via either SIP or H.323 (SIP is recommended).
Cisco TelePresence infrastructure may be used for call control and firewall traversal, but is not required.
WebEx offers multiple audio solution options for WebEx application users and phone participants. For CMR
Cloud, available options are WebEx Audio (including Cloud Connected Audio) and Teleconferencing Service
Provider (TSP) audio that has been verified compatible with CMR Hybrid/CMR Cloud.
Recommended Network Infrastructure for CMR Cloud Deployments include:
• Call control, device registration
o Cisco Unified Communications Manager (tested releases: 9.1(1), 9.1(2) and 10.5)
o Cisco VCS-C and Cisco VCS Expressway (tested release X8.1)
• Firewall traversal, mobile and remote access
o Cisco Expressway-C and Cisco Expressway-E (tested release: X8.1)
o Cisco VCS-C and Cisco VCS Expressway (tested release: X8.1)

Version X8.1/X8.1.1, calls to the WebEx cloud will fail if you configure the Cisco
Note: Expressway-E or Cisco VCS Expressway for static NAT and enable media encryption. To
secure calls when using static NAT, we recommend upgrading to X8.2 or later.

Create/Verify CUCM Route Patterns to CMR Cloud

When a WebEx user is set up for CMR Cloud, they will be assigned a nine-digit pilot number that
identifies their meeting room. Participants can dial into a particular meeting room by dialing the
URI formatted as <nine-digit-pilot>@<cmr site name>.webex.com.
If your organization has endpoints that are not capable of URI dialing, you can allow those
Notes:
endpoints to still dial into CMR Cloud by creating a CUCM route pattern that identifies a
particular numeric (using 0-9, * or # on the dialpad) prefix, followed by a nine-digit pilot
number; and routes that string to the VSCc. In our lab, we’ll create a route pattern that looks
for the prefix of 8, followed by nine digits, to route those calls to , to be forwarded to CMR Cloud

Step 161: Return to the browser tab connected to CUCM (https://video-cucm/ccmadmin).


Step 162: From the main menus navigate to Call Routing ! SIP Route Pattern.

Step 163: We’ve already created a SIP route pattern for CUCM to route calls with SIP URIs to the VCS-
C, however, this pattern was srevideoX.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com. We need to either
modify the existing pattern or add another pattern to route all SIP URI calls to the VCS-C.
Under the Find and List SIP Route Patterns section, click the Find button to list all SIP
route patterns.

Solutions Readiness Engineers Version 5.1 Page 35 of 46


Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
Step 165: Click on the pattern srevideoX.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com.

Step 166: Note that this pattern is already forwarding traffic to the VCS-C via a SIP trunk. Change the
IPv4 Pattern to be *.* to match all SIP URI dialing. Then, Save the pattern.

Step 167: Navigate to Call Routing ! Route/Hunt ! Route Pattern.


Step 168: Under the Find and List Route Patterns section, click the Add New button to create a
new route pattern.

Step 169: Configure the new Route Pattern as follows:


a. Route Pattern ! 8.XXXXXXXXX (There are 9 X’s in the pattern)
b. Description ! Routing for CMR Cloud
c. Configure the Gateway/Route List to be ! CMR_VCS_SIP_Trunk.
This allows calls dialed from CUCM endpoints to numbers starting with 8, followed by an
additional nine digits, to be forwarded to the VCS-C.

Step 170: Click Save.

Solutions Readiness Engineers Version 5.1 Page 36 of 46


Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
Create a Transform on VCS-C
Step 171: The next step is to create a transform on VCS-C that matches any dial string starting with 8
followed by nine digits. Return to the browser session to the VCS-C https://vcsc. When
prompted for credentials, enter the username of admin and C!sc0123 as the password.
Then click Login.
Step 172: Navigate to Configuration ! Dial plan ! Transforms.

Step 173: Click New to create a new transform.

Step 174: Configure the transform as follows:


a. Description ! Translate Numeric Pilot to URI Pilot
b. Pattern type ! Regex
c. Pattern string ! 8(\d{9}) (This matches an 8 followed by nine digits.)
d. Replace string ! \1@cloud-srelab.webex.com
Step 175: Click Create transform.

For this lab, all pods are sharing the same WebEx site – cloud-srelab.webex.com.
As a result of the configuration above, when a CUCM endpoint dials 8123456789, CUCM will
forward the call to the VCS-C. The VCS-C will transform the called number and will
Notes:
ultimately route the call to 123456789@cloud-srelab.webex.com. An endpoint registered
directly to the VCS-C can also dial the same pattern (8 followed by nine-digits) and the
VCS-C will perform the same transform and forward the call.

Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
Create a CUCM SIP Route Patterns to Support SX20 Dialing Restrictions

For Our Lab Only


In our lab, we are using SX20 video endpoints. If you try to dial a numeric-only pattern
from an SX20, the SX20 will automatically add its own domain to the numeric pattern to
create a SIP URI (trying to dial 8123456789 from an SX20 will result in the dialed number
being changed to be 8123456789@srevideox.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com). To emulate
Notes:
direct pilot-number dialing on the SX20s in our lab, we will create another SIP route
pattern on CUCM and another transform on the VCS-C to translate that dialed number.
The following CUCM SIP route pattern and VCS-C translation are only required because of
our lab environment. However, if your organization also has endpoints that will only
perform URI dialing, you can use the same tricks that we use here.

Step 176: Click New to create another new transform.

Step 177: Configure the transform as follows:


a. Description ! Translate Pilot @SRE dialing to Pilot at the CMR Cloud
b. Pattern type ! Regex
c. Pattern string ! (\d{9})@SRE$
d. Replace string ! \1@cloud-srelab.webex.com
Step 178: Click Create transform.

Step 179: Return to the browser session to the CUCM at https://video-


cucm/ccmadmin. When prompted for credentials, enter the username
of Administrator and C!sc0123 as the password. Then click Login.
Step 180: From the main menus navigate to Call Routing ! SIP Route Pattern.

Solutions Readiness Engineers Version 5.1 Page 38 of 46


Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
Step 182: Under the Find and List SIP Route Patterns section, click the Add New button to create
a new SIP route pattern.

Step 183: Configure the SIP Route Pattern as follow:


a. IPv4 Pattern ! sre (remember that the SIP patterns are not case-sensitive)
b. Description ! Distinctive Routing for CMR Cloud
c. SIP Trunk/Route List ! CMR_VCS_SIP_Trunk

Step 184: Click Save. As a result of this configuration, CUCM will route calls where the dialed pattern
has sre (or SRE) as the domain part (the part after the @ sign) to the VCS-C.

As a result of the configuration above, when a CUCM endpoint dials 123456789@SRE,


CUCM will forward the call to the VCS-C. The VCS-C will transform the called number and
Note: will ultimately route the call to 123456789@cloud-srelab.webex.com.
Because the dial string includes the @SRE, the SX20s won’t add their own domain to the
dialed pattern.

Verifying WebEx Site Administration Settings for CMR Cloud

Step 185: The WebEx site administrator can enable personal Collaboration Meeting Rooms (also
referred to as Personal Rooms) at the site level and can then enable or disable them for
each user. An administrator can also suspend a personal CMR, which blocks host and guest
access, until the owner changes his or her host PIN. Open a web browser to your pods CMR
Cloud WebEx Site – using the URL of https://cloud-srelab.webex.com/admin.

This WebEx site is a public site and as such can be accessed from your own browser. Since
Note: it is a public site access is via a read only Administration account. In the following WebEx
Admin steps you will only verify configuration.

Step 186: When prompted, log in as username podX (where X is your pod number) with password
C!sc0123

Solutions Readiness Engineers Version 5.1 Page 39 of 46


Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
Step 187: Click on Site Settings in the left navigation pane and then scroll down the Site Settings
page until you reach the Cloud Collaboration Meeting Room Options section. Note that
the option to Use a pilot number has been enabled. Also note that users will be notified
that internal (site) users can be reached by dialing their pilot number.

Step 188: Click on Edit User List in the left navigation pane and then click on Pod Number X to view
your pod user’s configuration options.

Step 189: Scroll down the configuration settings page to the General section. There, note that your
pod user has both Personal Room and Collaboration Meeting Room enabled on its account.

Personal Rooms are part of every Meeting Center package. Personal room owners share
the link to their permanent, personalized video conferencing space. Personal Room
meetings can be scheduled ahead of time or the room owner leave their room open and let
Notes: people drop in.
Collaboration Meeting Rooms are similar to Personal Rooms, but Collaboration Meeting
Rooms allow participants to connect from any standard video conferencing hardware or
software.

Step 190: Logout of the WebEx Site Administration page; and redirect your browser to the standard
WebEx user login page. You can get there by modifying the URL in your web browser menu
bar by removing everything after webex.com. (https://cloud-srelab.webex.com)

Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
Step 192: Click the Log In button at the upper right part of the page.

Step 193: Log in with username podX and password C!sc0123.

Step 194: If you’re prompted to Install WebEx Productivity Tools, close the reminder box.
Step 195: From the main WebEx page, note the multiple ways that participants can join your pod
user’s room:
1. Users can open a web browser to https://cloud-srelab.webex.com/meet/podX - this is
the traditional way of joining a personal room – opening a browser and loading the
WebEx client.
2. The nine digit number shown is the pilot number for this user (in this example, it is
382139478).
3. A video conferencing system can dial podX@cloud-srelab.webex.com to go straight into
the meeting room. This is the Collaboration Meeting Room functionality. Note that
video conferencing systems can also dial 382139478@cloud-srelab.webex.com to go
straight into the meeting room.
4. Audio-only endpoints (phones) can call the access numbers through the PSTN and then
provide the same pilot number (identified here as the access code) to connect into the
room

Verification and Completion for CMR Cloud
Step 196: Write down the pilot number for your pod user’s Room (the pilot number in your lab pod will
likely be different than what is shown in the examples in this guide.
Meeting Room Pilot Number: __________________________________________

Step 197: Click the Enter Room button to enter your pod user’s Personal Room. If you’re prompted
to install WebEx client software, please allow the installation.

Step 198: You will be joined into the pod user’s personal room.

Step 199: Leave the WebEx client open; and from CMR-WS01-PodX return to the browser tab to the
SX20 registered to the CUCM at 10.10.x.40 (where x is your pod number). Log into the
SX20 web interface with username admin. There is no password configured on the SX20.

Step 200: Once logged into the SX20, click on Call


Control.
Step 201: Type the pilot number that you recorded
above, followed by @SRE, into the call number box and click the Call button.

Remember:
The @SRE at the end of the dial number is to keep the SX20 from appending its own domain to
Note:
the number.
VCS-C will transform the @SRE to be @cloud-srelab.webex.com

Solutions Readiness Engineers Version 5.1 Page 42 of 46


Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
Step 202: On the right side of the screen, you should see that the SX20 is calling. You should see the
status of the call go from Dialing to Connecting and then you should see the call control
buttons appear as shown below. The call control buttons are your indication on the SX20
that the call was successful.

Step 203: Return to the WebEx Meeting Room – you should see that
3040@srevideox.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com has joined the meeting, and you should also
see the video from the SX20’s camera.

Step 204: Leave the WebEx client open; and from CMR-WS01-PodX return to the browser session to
the SX20 registered to the VCS-C at 10.10.x.41 (where x is your pod number). Log into the
SX20 web interface with username admin. There is no password configured on the SX20.
Step 205: Dial the meeting pilot number to call into the meeting room from the second SX20.
Step 206: Returning to the WebEx Meeting Room again, you should see that
4041@srevideox.goldlabs.ciscosystems.com has also joined the meeting.

Step 207: To test content sharing, return to one of the two SX20s, and change the Presentation
Source from PC to Camera.

Solutions Readiness Engineers Version 5.1 Page 43 of 46


Collaboration Meeting Room Cloud Lab
Step 209: At the bottom of the Presentation Source screen, click the Start Presentation button.

Step 210: Quickly return to the WebEx client. You should now see the camera output of the SX20
showing in the presentation area of the WebEx meeting room.

We used a camera as the presentation source – just to demonstrate that presentation is working
in the CMR Cloud meeting room. If you like, you can change the presentation source back to
Notes: PC. A blank screen will show in the presentation area of the meeting because no PC is
connected to the SX20. If you do this, the presentation will time out after a few seconds
because there is nothing being presented. This is normal behavior.

Step 211: As the pod user on the WebEx client, click the Leave Room button (you may have to click
on the Quick Start tab to get to the button. When you are warned about the meeting
ending for all participants, click the other Leave Room button.

Step 212: After a few seconds, you should see the call clear from both SX20s.

This concludes the CMR Cloud lab. Thank you for participating. Please
