Introduction
A Cisco TelePresence Video Communications Server (Cisco VCS) with the Starter Pack option key
creates a Cisco VCS Starter Pack Express which acts as a standalone provisioning server, registrar
and proxy server for endpoint devices, such as Movi / Jabber Video and Cisco Jabber for iPad.

The Cisco VCS Starter Pack Express may have endpoints register to it locally or register to it from
behind a home, small business or hotel firewall.
behind a home, small business or hotel firewall.
If the Cisco VCS Starter Pack Express services endpoints that are behind a firewall, the VCS must
have a public IP address – the local (DMZ) firewall must pass the specific public IP address traffic to
the VCS.
have a public IP address – the local (DMZ) firewall must pass the specific public IP address traffic to
the VCS.
The Dual Network interface option may be used on the Cisco VCS Starter Pack Express. When
enabled, the VCS can be deployed behind a local static NAT firewall; the VCS is configured with the
public IP address of the local (DMZ) NAT firewall so that when the VCS communicates with other
devices it appears as an Internet routable device despite being behind the local NAT firewall.

You must ensure that sufficient bandwidth is available when making calls through firewalls and other
infrastructure. For example, five simultaneous calls using 512kbps in each direction will require
2.5Mbps bandwidth for this video traffic on top of its normal operation.

Purpose of this guide
This deployment guide describes the configuration steps required to configure a Cisco VCS Starter
Pack Express, including basic configuration, provisioning, device authentication and also how to
configure user accounts so that Movi / Jabber Video clients are provisioned when users sign on to
them.
