Adding Cisco Unified CM and CTS to Cisco TMS
Preparations
Activate these services on the Cisco Unified CM node(s) you want to add to Cisco TMS before you
start:
start:
Cisco A XL Web Service on the Cisco Unified CM node.
Cisco RIS Data Collector on the Cisco Unified CM Publisher node.
Cisco CTIManager must be active on at least one of the nodes inside the Cisco Unified
CM Cluster.
See the Cisco Unified CM Configuration Guide for details on service activation.
Follow this procedure in Cisco Unified CM:
1. Create an application user for Cisco TMS following the steps described in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Configuration Guide for Cisco TelePresence System. Make sure to:
•
Save the credentials for the Cisco TMS initialization procedure that follows.
•
Assign all the rooms that you plan to use to the application user you create.
•
Assign all TelePresence units/IP phone devices to this user profile. MAC Address of each
unit and shared phone should be added to the user profile. Add TelePres ence endpoints in
the Cisco Unified CM, Admin UI, by going to Device > Phone. Adding an IP phone
associated with the CTS to the application user is not necessary.

5. Assign all TelePresence endpoints and their associated IP phone devices to this application user.
The MAC Address of each unit and IP phone should be added to the user profile.
6. Create a user group in the CiscoUnified CM for Cisco TMS.
7. Assign the following roles to this user group:
•
Standard A XL API access
•
Standard CTI enabled
•
Standard serviceability
•
Standard CCM Admin Users
