Introduction
This chapter explains how to install and configure the Cisco TelePresence Manager PreQualification Assistant tool.
It is important to install and run the PreQualification Assistant to ensure that the preconfiguration setup is performed correctly. The data you enter into the Tool Test Configuration forms are used to verify connections to the servers and validate data from them that is used to configure CTS-Manager.
Pre-Configuration Procedure Guidelines for Checking Initial Network Setup
This table provides a guideline for the procedures you will need to reference in order to check the setup of the network before installing Cisco TelePresence Manager.
This table also lists the next couple to tasks to be performed when installing the CTS-Manager system.

Step 3
In the Task Manager window, to the processes Tab and look for the PreQualification UI. Highlight it and click End Process.
Step 4
Go to the Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs. Remove the PreQualification program.This will terminate the directory and it can be removed.
Running the Tool - Using the Tool Application Window
The CTS-Manager PreQualification tool allows administrators to determine if any changes are needed to their network to support a CTS-Manager installation.
The tool runs a series of tests to determine if your LDAP server, Calendar server, and Cisco Unified CM configurations meet the requirements to support CTS-Manager. The set of tests you run are determined by the Calendar server running on your network (IBM Domino or Microsoft Exchange). You can also run a set of tests without specifying a calendar server.
In order to run a series of tests you need to provide the tool with configuration information for your LDAP servers, Calendar server, Cisco Unified CM servers and WebEx server. The four-tabbed window displays the information that is configured for the servers. To add, edit or delete this information, use the Add, Edit, or Delete buttons to access the host configurations forms used to enter configuration data.
Figure 7-7 Tool Application Window
The Tool application runs a series of tests to determine if your LDAP server, Calendar server, and Cisco Unified CM server configurations meet the requirements to support CTS-Manager. The set of tests you run are determined by the Calendar server running on your network (IBM Domino, Microsoft Exchange (Active Directory), or Microsoft Exchange EWS). You can also run a set of tests without specifying a Calendar server.
The lower part of the window displays the status of each test after clicking the Execute Tests button. Once you have run a set of tests you can view the results of each test in a Test Result window. The test results contain troubleshooting data needed to prepare your LDAP servers, Calendar server, and Cisco Unified CM servers to work with CTS-Manager.
If additional analysis is required to prepare your network, you can create a zip file for technical support that includes all the test results.
The Tool application window has three main areas which are explained in the following sections.
Menu Commands
The following sections describe the commands in the File menu.
File Menu Commands
•
The New Profile command saves all the Test form field values you have entered to a profile that can be used again.
•
The Delete Profile command asks you to confirm your deletion of the active profile.
•
The Load Profile command lists the saved profiles. You can choose which profile you want to use to run the PreQualification tests.
Figure 7-8 File Menu Commands
System Menu Command
•
The Select Calendar Server lists the Calendar servers. Choose either None, Microsoft Exchange, Domino, or Microsoft Exchange EWS to display the corresponding Test Configuration forms.
•
The Execute Tests command performs the same function as the Execute Tests button displayed above the Test Status list at the bottom of the application window.
•
The Collect Logs command collects all the tests you've run into a zip file to make it easy to transport the results to Cisco Technical Support, refer to Figure 7-9.
–
If you check the Include Config Settings checkbox, the values you entered into the Host Configuration forms are collected and included in the zipped report.
Figure 7-9 Report Generation Window
•
The System > Export Configurations selection allows you to export all the configurations you have saved to a data file.
Figure 7-10 LDAP Configuration Export Window
Host Configuration Window
The PreQualification Configuration window presents four areas, selected by individual tabs. The tabs display the LDAP server, Calendar server and Unified CM server configurations you've chosen from the Select Calendar Server command in the System menu.
Note
The Test and Add/Edit Configuration Form fields and how they are used are described in the Using PreQualification Configuration Forms section.
Test Status Window
The bottom of the application window lists the tests available. This will change depending on which server type is chosen. The Component area lists which tests are available for each server type.

Using PreQualification Configuration Forms
There are three Test Configuration forms (LDAP server, Calendar server, and Cisco Unified CM). There are also four network environments (Exchange calendar server, Domino calendar server, Microsoft Exchange EWS, and no calendar server). There are set up windows, Add servers, Edit server configuration forms which are used to collect the data required to run the relevant tests for each network environment The sections below define the different windows and configuration forms for each network environment.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Form
The Cisco Unified CM (Unified CM) Configuration form requires the same data for all three network environments.
