Description of the xConfiguration commands for Cisco TelePresence Codec C90 with software version TC5.0
Revision: D1464707
The xConfiguration commands defines the system settings which are persistent across boots. The examples shows either the default value or an example of a value. The commands are case-insensitive.
- Writing xconfiguration ? on the command line will list all the top level configurations.
- Writing xconfiguration ?? will list all configurations and their value spaces.
- Writing xconfiguration will list all configurations and their current values.
- To only list out parts of the configuration, write xconfiguration followed by one or more parts of the configuration paths.
Value space: The valuespace of each command is explained in the Valuespace field.
String: The string syntax is <S: 0, 255>, which means that the length of this string can be from 0 to 255 characters. String parameters must be enclosed in quotation marks when you issue a command.
Integer: The integer syntax is <0..100>, which means that this value can go from 0 to 100.
Troubleshooting: Check that the spelling and syntax is right. Check also that the value space is valid, that all the required parameters are included, and that the command is valid for your product.
User roles: The user accounts on the system can have three different user roles which possess different system rights.
- ADMIN: A user account with ADMIN rights can create new users and change all settings, except the security audit configurations. The ADMIN user can upload all certificates, except the audit certificates.
- USER: A user account with USER rights can make calls and search the phonebook.
- AUDIT: A user account with AUDIT rights can change the security audit settings and upload audit certificates.
The system comes with a default user account. The user name is admin with no password set. This user has USER, ADMIN and AUDIT rights.
NOTE: It is very important that at least one user has ADMIN rights at all times.

Set the authenticatin mode for the H.323 profile.
Requires user role:
Value space:
On: If the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode is set to On and a H.323 Gatekeeper indicates that it requires authentication, the system will try to authenticate itself to the gatekeeper. NOTE: Requires the Authentication LoginName and Authentication Password to be defined on both the codec and the Gatekeeper.
Off: If the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode is set to Off the system will not try to authenticate itself to a H.323 Gatekeeper, but will still try a normal registration.
Example:
xConfiguration
xConfiguration
The system sends the Authentication Login Name and the Authentication Password to a H.323 Gatekeeper for authentication. The authentication is a one way authentication from the codec to the H.323 Gatekeeper, i.e. the system is authenticated to the gatekeeper. If the H.323 Gatekeeper indicates that no authentication is required, the system will still try to register. NOTE: Requires the H.323 Gatekeeper Authentication Mode to be enabled.
Requires user role:
Value space:
Format: String with a maximum of 50 characters.
Example:
xConfiguration
xConfiguration
The system sends the Authentication Login Name and the Authentication Password to a H.323 Gatekeeper for authentication. The authentication is a one way authentication from the codec to the H.323 Gatekeeper, i.e. the system is authenticated to the gatekeeper.

The H.323 Call Setup Mode defines whether to use a Gatekeeper or Direct calling when establishing H323 calls.
NOTE: Direct H.323 calls can be made even though the H.323 Call Setup Mode is set to Gatekeeper.
Requires user role:
Value space:
Direct: An IP-address must be used when dialling in order to make the H323 call.
Gatekeeper: The system will use a Gatekeeper to make a H.323 call. When selecting this option the H323 Profile Gatekeeper Address and H323 Profile Gatekeeper Discovery settings must also be configured.
Example:
xConfiguration
xConfiguration
Determine how the system shall register to a H.323 Gatekeeper.
Requires user role:
Value space:
Manual: The system will use a specific Gatekeeper identified by the Gatekeeper's IP-address.
Auto: The system will automatically try to register to any available Gatekeeper. If a Gatekeeper responds to the request sent from the codec within 30 seconds this specific Gatekeeper will be used. This requires that the Gatekeeper is in auto discovery mode as well. If no Gatekeeper responds, the system will not use a Gatekeeper for making H.323 calls and hence an IP-address must be specified manually.
Example:
xConfiguration
xConfiguration
Enter the IP address of the Gatekeeper. NOTE: Requires the H.323 Call Setup Mode to be set to Gatekeeper and the Gatekeeper Discovery to be set to Manual.
Requires user role:
Value space:
Format: Only the valid IP address format is accepted. An IP address that contains letters (192.a.2.0) or unvalid IP addresses (192.0.1234.0) will be rejected.
Example:
xConfiguration
xConfiguration
The H.323 Alias E.164 defines the address of the system, according to the numbering plan implemented in the H.323 Gatekeeper. The E.164 alias is equivalent to a telephone number, sometimes combined with access codes.

Value space:
Format: String with a maximum of 49 characters
Example:
xConfiguration
xConfiguration
The H.323 Port Allocation setting affects the H.245 port numbers used for H.323 call signalling.
Requires user role:
Value space:
Dynamic: The system will allocate which ports to use when opening a TCP connection. The reason for doing this is to avoid using the same ports for subsequent calls, as some firewalls consider this as a sign of attack. When Dynamic is selected, the H.323 ports used are from 11000 to 20999. Once 20999 is reached they restart again at 11000. For RTP and RTCP media data, the system is using UDP ports in the range 2326 to 2487. Each media channel is using two adjacent ports, ie 2330 and 2331 for RTP and RTCP respectively. The ports are automatically selected by the system within the given range. Firewall administrators should not try to deduce which ports are used when, as the allocation schema within the mentioned range may change without any further notice.
Static: When set to Static the ports are given within a static predefined range [5555-6555].

When encoding and transmitting video there will be a tradeoff between high resolution and high framerate. For some video sources it is more important to transmit high framerate than high resolution and vice versa. The Quality setting specifies whether to give priority to high frame rate or to high resolution for a given source.
Requires user role:
Value space:
Motion: Gives the highest possible framerate. Used when there is a need for higher frame rates, typically when a large number of participants are present or when there is a lot of motion in the picture.

The official DVI standard supports both digital and analog signals. In most cases the default AutoDetect setting can detect whether the signal is analog RGB or digital. However, in some rare cases when DVI-I cables are used (these cables can carry both the analog and digital signals) the auto detection fails. This setting makes it possible to override the AutoDetect and select the correct DVI video input. This setting should also be used if the video input is an analog component (YPbPr) type signal. This is used by some cameras (Sony EVI-HD1) and DVD/Blu-ray players. Since it is not possible to auto detect the difference between AnalogRGB and AnalogYPbPr, the AnalogYPbPr setting must be selected.
Requires user role:
Value space:
AutoDetect: Set to AutoDetect to automatically detect if the signal is analog RGB or digital.
Digital: Set to Digital to force the DVI video input to Digital when using DVI-I cables with both analog and digital pins and AutoDetect fails.
AnalogRGB: Set to AnalogRGB to force the DVI video input to AnalogRGB when using DVI-I cables with both analog and digital pins and AutoDetect fails.
AnalogYPbPr: Set to AnalogYPbPr to force the DVI video input to AnalogYPbPr, as the component (YPbPr) signal cannot be auto detected.

Define what to do if the aspect ratio of a video input source doesn't match the aspect ratio of the corresponding image frame in a composition. For example if you have a 4:3 input source (like XGA) to be displayed on a 16:9 output (like HD720).
Requires user role:
Value space:
Manual: If the difference in aspect ratio between the video input source and the target image frame is less than the ScaleToFrameThreshold configuration (in percent), the image is stretched to fit. If not, the system will maintain the original aspect ratio.
MaintainAspectRatio: Will maintain the aspect ratio of the input source, and fill in black in the rest of the frame (letter boxing or pillar boxing).
StretchToFit: Will stretch (horizontally or vertically) the input source to fit into the image frame. NOTE: The general limitation is that you cannot upscale in one direction and at the same time downscale in the other direction. In such situations the codec will apply letterboxing.
Example:
xConfiguration
xConfiguration
Only applicable if the ScaleToFrame configuration is set to manual. If the difference in aspect ratio between the video input source and the target image frame is less than the ScaleToFrameThreshold configuration (in percent), the image is stretched to fit.

Microphone reinforcement is local amplification of one or several input connectors, directly to one or several output connectors, with minimum delay.
For software version TC4.0: Microphone reinforcement should not be enabled on a codec that is also configured using the Audio Console application.
This setting configures the gain of this path, from -53 dB to +15 dB. The value -54 corresponds to mute.

Microphone reinforcement is local amplification of one or several input connectors, directly to one or several output connectors, with minimum delay.
For software version TC4.0: Microphone reinforcement should not be enabled on a codec that is also configured using the Audio Console application.
Configuring this setting to On for an output line, means to attach that output connector to the microphone reinforcement for local amplification. If the output connector already is attached to a Local Output, it will first be detached from that before being attached to the Microphone reinforcement. When this setting is On, the output connector cannot be attached to any Local Output.
