How to Install Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager
Step 18 Create an administrator account for accessing the application in the Account Login Information window.
With this account, you can access Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.
Step 19 Review the installation summary in the Pre-installation Summary window, and then click Install to
proceed with the installation.
Note
Do not interrupt the installation. After starting the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager service
allow several minutes for server initialization before logging in to the web-user interface.
Installing Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop
During the installation you perform a basic Desktop configuration by defining servers which Desktop
uses. Follow recommendations in this section to configure Desktop correctly:
•
•
•
In a single Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, use the same gatekeeper as
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU is configured to use. If you install Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager as a part of your deployment, specify the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager internal gatekeeper.
In a multiple Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, you must use Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager as your meeting control server. In a single Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, you can use either Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3545 MCU or Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.
The default Desktop web server port is 80. If other applications are using port 80, the installer
prompts you to specify a different port.
If you wish to use port 80 in such cases, access the Services panel on your computer and disable the
IIS Administration, HTTP SSL and World Wide Web Publishing services. You can do this before
installing the Desktop server software or when you receive the "ip address/ port is in use" error
during installation.
After disabling these services, installation completes normally and Desktop clients can connect to
the Desktop server using port 80.
•
•
If you wish to use the HTTPs protocol for security, configure the Desktop web server port to 443
after installation is complete.
The Desktop serial key is required for the installation and operation of the Desktop and is not
included in this package. For more information about obtaining the serial key, refer to the License
Fulfillment Instructions for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager at
Procedure

How to Install Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager
Step 4
Step 5
In the Welcome window, click Next.
In the License Agreement window, read the agreement, choose I accept the terms in the license
agreement, and then click Next.
Step 6
Step 7
Step 8
In the Customer Information window, enter information for software registration, choose the user access
option for Desktop, and then click Next.
In the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Desktop Serial Key window, enter the Desktop key
number, and click Next.
In the Custom Setup window, define which Desktop components to install on this server, specify the
installation location, and then click Next.
Note
The default directory for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Streaming Server installation is
C:\Program Files\Darwin Streaming Server.
For a single server installation, install both components.
Step 9
In the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Network Configuration window, configure the Desktop
Network Interface and Desktop web server port, and click Next.
Step 10 In the Configure Servers window, configure server settings:
a. Enter the IP address of your gatekeeper in the Gatekeeper IP address field.
b. Enter the server’s NIC IP address in the IP address field under Use Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager for moderation.
Alternatively, choose Do not enable moderation to work without a meeting control server in a
multiple Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment. If you use Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager as your meeting control server, enter the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager IP address in the IP address of Cisco IOS H.323 Gatekeeper field
so that Desktop uses the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager internal gatekeeper.
Note
You must use the specific IP addresses, not loopback addresses.
Step 11 In the Configure Streaming window, choose a server to manage streaming:
a. When your deployment includes multiple Desktop servers, you must define which one of your
Desktop servers is enabled for streaming.
Choose This Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop will be used to manage streaming
services to define the Desktop server that you are currently configuring as the Desktop server
that is enabled for streaming.
Note
We recommend that you choose only one Desktop server to be a streaming server.
If you install the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Streaming Server on a separate server, type
the IP address of that server in the Darwin Streaming Server IP address field.
b. When your deployment includes multiple Desktop servers, and you do not want to define the
Desktop server that you are currently configuring as the Desktop server that is enabled for
streaming, choose Use an alternative Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop to manage
streaming services.
Type the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Desktop server that is enabled for
streaming in the Server URL field.

c. Choose Disable streaming for this Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop to disable
streaming for the Desktop server that you are currently configuring.
Step 12 In the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Hostname Configuration window, specify the
hostname of the server that clients should use to connect to the Desktop.
Note
Make sure that you specify the hostname that clients can resolve.
Step 13 In the Ready to Install the Program window, click Install.
Step 14 Click Finish.
Step 15 After installation is completed, verify that the Desktop server is operational:
a. Access the Desktop Server Administration interface by connecting to the following URL:
b. Log in using the default user name (admin) and password (admin).
c. Open the Status tab of the Desktop Server Administration interface, and verify that all four
types of servers are connected.
Note
The light next to each link indicates whether or not the connection to the target server or
registration with the Gatekeeper is successful. When the light is red, a tooltip containing
error details is available. Click the red light to view further error information.
