14. Architectural Evolution
Circa 2010 – At The Close Of The TANDBERG Acquisition
• TelePresence and UC endpoints
typically deployed on separate UCM
clusters
• Limited interoperability between
endpoints (TelePresence Server was
the bridge between these formerly
non-interoperable worlds)
• Lots of product functional overlap in
every category: endpoints, call
control, B2B connectivity, bridging,
scheduling and management
• Different dial plans (numerical vs.
alpha-numeric centric)
• Different methods of provisioning,
management and monitoring
• Feature inconsistency across the
portfolio

19. § Unified CM for Registration and Call Control
§ SIP is the primary protocol - all endpoints register via SIP
§ VCS-C for legacy H.323 endpoints and/or Interop
§ SIP Trunk between Unified CM and VCS-C/Expressway C
§ Expressway C/E or VCS-C/E provides firewall traversal/B2B services
§ TS/MCU behind Conductor with SIP trunk to UCM
§ TMS is used for phone books on non-immersive endpoints and for
scheduling
§ Prime Collaboration Manager is used for endpoint management and user
provisioning
Best Practice for CUCM Video Deployment
20. § Preferred Architectures provide
prescriptive design guidance that
simplifies and drives design
consistency for Cisco Collaboration
deployments.
§ Preferred Architectures are targeted
at the Commercial, Commercial
Select and small Enterprise
customers, but can be used as a
design base for larger customers.
Design Guidance
Cisco Preferred Architecture
23. § Using TMS phonebook sources for endpoints supporting folders (MX/SX/C)
§ Jabber and Unified CM only endpoints to use UDS (TX/IX/DX)
Phonebook Sources
24. Calling someone – Old School v’s Millennials
Dial a URI
Matches email and IM
experience
Scales beyond organization
Dial a number
Same as dialing a phone or
look up in directory.
Either way, easy and familiar
25. URI routing/dialing
• Why
– Native dialing method in SIP based video equipment
– Extend support for SIP video endpoints registered with Cisco UCM
– Unambiguous dialing from directories
– better integration with other call controls where URI dialing is the native
dialing habit (e.g. VCS)
– Enables easier B2B video call routing
• Limitations
– URIs can not be used for PSTN calls (as long as there’s no mapping to E.
164)
– Limited endpoint support (+E.164/numbers might still be the native format)
26. URI Dialing
• In Cisco UCM all endpoints will still have a DN
• Alpha URI can be associated with DN on any device (not only SIP)
• Phones always register via the DN (do not necessarily even know that there is
an associated alpha URI)
DN: 2000
DN: 2001
URI: boardroom@cisco.com
URI: shawn@cisco.com
27. URIs and Directory Numbers
• Up to 5 URIs can be configured per DN
• Enduser’s directory URIs are assigned to
directory numbers based on enduser’s primary
extension; partition “Directory URI” (cannot be
changed/deleted)
• other URIs can be in any partition; no need to
have them in the same partition as the DN
28. URIs and DNs
• One URI associated with DN is marked the primary URI
• Auto-generated URI based on user’s primary extension will always be the
primary URI
• If no auto-generated URI exists one of the other URIs can be marked “primary”
• Primary URI will be used as URI identity for calls from/to this line
Primary URI
28
29. Alpha URI vs. Number
• Dialed “numbers” can contain: +,
0-9, *, A-D
• SIP Profile now has “Dial String
Interpretation” setting
• relevant for calls from endpoints and
trunks
• Default: 0-9, * and +
(Recommended)
• Recommendation: use un-
ambiguous alpha URIs
• “user=phone” tag in request URI
forces treatment as numeric URI
How to Differentiate Between a Number and an Alpha URI
29
30. Calling URIs
• URIs can be called if the URIs’
partition is member of calling CSS
• CSSs can contain DN and URI
partitions
• partitions can contain DNs and URIs
• CSS/partition logic for URIs is
identical to DN logic

32. § What type of conferencing is required?
§ CMR Instant (ad-hoc)
§ CMR Personal (rendezvous)
§ CMR Scheduled
§ Conferencing resource management
§ Video bridge ports are valuable.
§ Ports are required for CMR Instant meetings
§ Ports for scheduled conferences should be guaranteed
Video Conferencing Considerations
33. Conferencing
Types of Conferences
Description
CMR Instant
(ad-hoc)
A conference that is not scheduled or organized in advance.
CMR Personal
(rendezvous)
A conference that requires callers to dial a predetermined number or URI
to reach a shared conferencing resource.
CMR Scheduled
A conference planned in advance with a predetermined start and stop
time.
34. Conferencing
Components for Conferencing
Component Description
Cisco TelePresence Conductor
Manages and allocates conferencing resources
requested from Unified CM
Cisco TelePresence Server
Provides voice and video conferencing.
Available on dedicated hardware platforms and on virtual
machine.
Cisco TelePresense Management
Server
Management for endpoint reporting and calendar
integration.
35. § Starting point – Add Conductor and Telepresence Server to CUCM
§ Recommended deployment is based on Preferred Architectures
§ CMR Instant and CMR Personal
§ Scheduling through Conductor
§ Dedicated and Shared bridge model
§ CMR Hybrid adds WebEx to on premise conferencing
Conferencing on CUCM
36. § Configuring SIP Trunks between Unified CM and Conductor for Instant and
Personal conferences.
§ CMR Instant and CMR Personal conferences:
§ UCM routing calls to conferences that will be dynamically created by Conductor.
§ Conferences are not static but can be initiated at any time.
§ Not configured or tied to specific bridge resources.

38. § Historically scheduling has used dedicated resources to guarantee that
a specific number of ports will be available throughout the scheduled
meeting.
§ Previous versions of TMS supported limited Conductor scheduling with
several major caveats. New releases of TMS 14.6, Conductor XC3.0
and TS4.1 help alleviate many of the initial challenges of placing
scheduling resources behind Conductor.
§ Remote-managed bridges, MultiParty Media 310/320 and Virtual
TelePresence Servers, can NOW be scheduled, along with the 8710.
§ Conference placement is done at conference start time.

Scheduling through Conductor
39. Conferencing on UCM
Scheduling through Conductor
Dedicated Resources Shared Resources
• 100% guaranteed scheduled conferences.
• Similar to previous TMS deployment with
directly managed TelePresence Servers.
• Single TS, in single Bridge Pool, in single
Service Preference. TMS can have multiple
Service Preferences in a prioritized list.
• Based on Conductor IP Zone, so possible
loss of conference placement intelligence if
using IP Zones with directly managed
bridges.
• Simplest deployment, TelePresence Servers
are dynamically allocated for any type of
conference.
• Scheduled conferences are best-effort
service just as Instant and Permanent
conferences are.
• If utilization is high, additional TelePresence
Servers can be deployed.
• Takes advantage of Optimized Conferencing.
