Introduction

The Cisco TelePresence meeting solution combines audio, video, and interactive elements to create the feeling of being "in person" with participants in remote locations.

To enable these features, you must ensure the system components are meeting the system version requirements. These are covered in the next section.

These servers and applications may include one or more of the following:

•Your Cisco TelePresence System endpoints should be fully installed and configured before installing Cisco TelePresence Manager.

•Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Version 5.1 or 6.1.3) should already be installed and configured.

Microsoft Exchange 2003, 2007, or EWS and Active Directory.

Pre-Installation Procedure Guidelines for Initial Network Setup

This table provides a guideline for the procedures you will need to reference in order to pre-configure the network before installing the Cisco TelePresence Manager.

---

Note The system will use either Microsoft or IBM not both. So only Chapter 3 or Chapter 4 needs to be referenced when doing the pre-configuration setup.
