In the DCA Connection Name field, specify a name for the connection. The name 
must:  

§  Include alphanumeric characters and underscores only.  

§  Be 30 characters or less. 

§  Be unique (from DCA Connection Names you have created for other CCS 

servers, if any). 

4.  In Description, if desired, enter a description for the connection to be used in 

the Collaboration Administration desktop. 

5.  In DCA Host Name, enter the DCA server's unique host name (for example, 

myDCA.mydomain.com

) or its static IP address. 

6.  Registry Port on DCA specifies the port the DCA uses to register a connection 

instance with CCS. You MUST use the default, 1099. 

§  If the DCA will communicate with CCS through a firewall, you must enable a 

one-way connection from the DCA to CCS on your firewall for this port. 

7.  In CCS Password, create a password the DCA will use to authenticate itself to 

Collaboration. 

8.  In Verify CCS Password, re-enter the password. 

9.  In Registry Port on CCS, specify the port CCS should use to register a 

connection instance with the DCA. Cisco recommends that you use the default, 
1099. 

§  If you previously defined the CCS registry port for a different server connection 

(for example, Cisco Media Blender), CCS will automatically use that same port 
for your DCA connection. 

10. In Connection Port on CCS, specify the port CCS should use to connect to and 

communicate with the DCA. If left blank, CCS will search for and use the first 
available port. 

§  If the DCA will communicate with CCS through a firewall, you must specify a 

specific port, and then enable that port on your firewall. 

11. In CCS Password, create a password the DCA will use to authentic ate itself to 

Collaboration . If left blank, no password will be used. 

12. In Verify CCS Password, re-enter the password.
