Cisco Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway
Introduction
FindMe provides the ability to specify which endpoints (video and audio-only) should ring when someone
calls a user's FindMe ID. FindMe also allows a user to specify fallback devices which will be called if any of
the primary devices are busy, and to specify fallback devices which will be called if none of the primary
devices are answered.
calls a user's FindMe ID. FindMe also allows a user to specify fallback devices which will be called if any of
the primary devices are busy, and to specify fallback devices which will be called if none of the primary
devices are answered.
An important feature of FindMe is that the administrator can configure the caller ID that is displayed on the
called party's endpoint to be that of the caller's FindMe ID, rather than the ID of the caller's endpoint. This
means that when that call is returned, the call will be to the FindMe ID, resulting in all that user's active
FindMe location phones ringing, rather than just ringing the endpoint that happened to be the one they were at
when they made the original call.

This guide assumes that the Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (Cisco VCS) has already
been configured so that endpoints can register and that video calls can be made between those endpoints. It
specifies the administrator level configuration required to set up FindMe on the Cisco VCS and to create user
accounts with FindMe profiles.

This guide applies only to system deployments that do not use Cisco TelePresence Management Suite
(Cisco TMS). If you are deploying FindMe in a system that uses Cisco TMS (for the mass provisioning of
FindMe accounts), see Cisco TMS Provisioning Extension Deployment Guide instead. Note that if you
subsequently migrate from a system deployment that does not use Cisco TMS to a system that does use
Cisco TMS, any FindMe accounts that were configured on the Cisco VCS will be deleted and replaced by
account data provided by Cisco TMS.
