At its highest level, moving towards a live deployment of the DCA involves the basic 
steps described below. Consult the DCA Administration and Configuration Guide for 
more detailed instructions on configuring the DCA. 

 

 

If you are not a current CCS user, you must install CCS prior to 
implementing the DCA. Cisco recommends that, whenever 
possible, you use a fresh CCS installation with the DCA. 

 

The DCA should be installed on its own server. Installation tasks 
include: 

1.  Installing prerequisite software. 

2.  Running the DCA Installer. 

3.  Installing the license file. 

4.  Testing the installation. 

Based on how you choose to deploy the DCA, you may also need 
to: 

• 

Enable firewall ports for the DCA. 

• 

Configure the DCA for a proxy server. 

 

After installing the DCA, you must integrate with the Collaboration 
Server. Depending on your CCS version, integration tasks include:  

1.  Assessing and possibly backing-up CCS customization that 

may be overwritten by the DCA-CCS Updater. 

2.  Running the DCA-CCS Updater on the CCS server.
