Introduction
The Cisco Virtualization Client 6215 (Cisco VXC 6215) delivers superior voice and video collaboration capabilities in desktop virtualization. It unifies voice, video, and virtual desktop in one device.
The Cisco VXC 6215 provides workers with secure, real-time access to business applications and content without compromising the collaborative user experience. Cisco VXC 6215 supports the following capabilities:
•
•
•
The Cisco VXC 6215 provides support for the following hosted virtual desktop protocols:
•
•
•
By default, the firmware that is installed on the Cisco VXC 6215 client is Base VDI Firmware. The Base VDI Firmware supports desktop virtualization capabilities, but does not provide the additional voice and video functionality required for Unified Communications. To support Unified Communications, you must purchase and install the Voice and Video Firmware Add-On. For more information, see the Deployment Guide for Voice and Video Firmware for Cisco Virtualization Experience Client 6125. For instructions on upgrading the Cisco VXC 6215 with the Voice and Video Firmware Add-On, see Installing Add-Ons or Upgrades for Cisco VXC 6215.
The following table describes the virtual desktop protocol releases that support Base VDI Firmware only and those that support Base VDI Firmware with the Voice and Video Firmware Add-On.

Cisco VXC Manager Compatibility
Cisco VXC 6215 Base VDI Firmware Release 8.6 is compatible with Cisco VXC Manager Release 4.8.5.
USB 3.0 Ports
USB 3.0 ports do not support audio/video devices (such as cameras, headsets, and handsets) in the current release. This issue will be resolved in a future base image OS release.
For more information, access Bug Toolkit as described in the "Using Bug Toolkit" section, and see CSCty70433.
Interoperability with Adobe Connect
For the Cisco VXC 6215 to interoperate with Adobe Connect web conferencing software when running in a Citrix XenDesktop environment, you must ensure that the virtual desktops to which the thin clients are connecting are running Virtual Desktop Agent 5.5 hotfix 1.
Removing the Voice And Video Firmware Add-On
If you upgrade the Cisco VXC 6215 with the Voice and Video Firmware Add-On, and subsequently choose to remove the add-on, rather than follow the standard process for removing add-ons, you must re-image the client using the Base VDI firmware.
Third-Party Software Support
