Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 4.5 Instrucciones De Seguridad Importantes

The Cisco IPICS 4.5(1) release represents the next generation Cisco IPICS platform. New features, and 
functions in this release include the following:

Direct radio network interoperability—Allows TCP/IP communication across P25 networks that use 
the ISSI protocol. This capability is provided through the new ISSI gateway and new end-to-end 
native P25 communication features in the Cisco IPICS Dispatch Console (IDC). 

Radio signaling—Provides dispatchers and radio users with features such as talker ID, emergency 
call, and private calls. These capabilities are provided via the new Unified Media Service (UMS) 
platform. 

IT database integration—An LDAP authentication feature allows Cisco IPICS users to be 
authenticated against a common Active Directory repository.

High availability for multiple SIP providers—Minimizes single-points-of-failures in Cisco IPICS 
deployments by allowing the dial engine, dial-in functionality, and dial-out functionality to work 
with multiple SIP providers.

Improved audio high availability—UMS high availability provides redundancy and failover for the 
UMS. This feature minimizes media downtime for VTGs and remote connections if a critical media 
service fails. 

More efficient configuration—IPICS now supports script-based bulk uploading of a large number 
of users, channels, or VSOM video links.

Language support—Support for internationalization of the IDC, dial engine prompts, and IP-phone 
services.

Operating System Backup—The operating system for Cisco IPICS servers is available a a backup 
on USB drive.

Splash screen—A custom splash screen can be configured for the Administration Console and the 
IDC.

Joystick support—Joystick integration with is supported with IDC clients that are running supported 
32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows.

Enhanced dialer—The IDC dialer has been expanded to support 10 lines, 3 patches per line, and 
last-number redial.

IDC logging—The IDC provides enhanced logging features.

Lazy resource allocation—To conserve system resources, Cisco IPICS allocates SIP resources as 
needed for IDC clients.

Secure communication—The ISSI gateway with P25 radio systems provides the option of 
end-to-end encrypted calls directly with dispatchers.

Server and virtual machine support—Cisco IPICS supports two new appliances that can be ordered 
with the Cisco 2RU Multi-Services Platform (MSP) or virtualized using the Cisco Unified 
Computing Systems C-200 Series server.
