Introduction
FindMe provides the ability to easily 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
rung if any of the primary devices are busy, and to specify fallback devices which will be rung if none
of the primary devices are answered.

This deployment guide specifies the administrator level configuration required on the Cisco
TelePresence Video Communication Server (Cisco VCS) for FindMe. Details of the user configuration
are available in the “FindMe User Guide”.

The administrator can configure Caller ID to be the user’s FindMe ID. This means that called parties
will see the FindMe ID of the caller, not the ID of the endpoint that they are calling from, and more
importantly 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 VCS has already been configured so that endpoints can register
and video calls can be made between them. This guide specifies how to set up FindMe on the Cisco
VCS, create user accounts with FindMe profiles and optionally mass provision FindMe using Cisco
TelePresence Management Suite (Cisco TMS).

Note:
If VCS is managed by TMS, it is recommended that you enable TMS Agent replication between
VCS and TMS before configuring FindMe accounts.

If TMS Agent replication is enabled and a new VCS is used to make or extend the cluster,
FindMe data on the existing VCSs will be copied to the new VCS.

If TMS Agent replication is not enabled and a new VCS is used to make or extend the cluster, if
replication is subsequently enabled the FindMe data on all VCSs in the cluster will be lost and all
user accounts will need to be re-created
