Cisco TelePresence - Configuring Findme Accounts

Configuring FindMe accounts
The FindMe accounts page (Users > FindMe accounts) lists all the FindMe accounts that have been
configured on the VCS, and lets you add, edit and delete accounts.
Note that this page does not apply if the VCS is using TMS Provisioning Extension services to provide
FindMe account data; in this case, FindMe accounts are maintained through Cisco TMS.
FindMe accounts are used by individuals in an enterprise to configure the devices and locations on which
they can be contacted through their FindMe ID. Each FindMe account is accessed using a username and
password.
n If local FindMe account authentication is selected, each FindMe account must be created locally by the
VCS administrator.
n If remote FindMe account authentication is selected, the VCS administrator must set up FindMe groups to
match the corresponding group names in the remote directory service.
Filtering the view
The Filter section lets you filter the set of records. Enter the word or phrase you want to search for and click
Filter. Only those records that contain the word or phrase you entered are shown.
Configuring an account
Click New to set up a new account, or click View/Edit (or the username) to edit an existing FindMe account.
The configurable options for a FindMe account are:
Field Description Usage tips
Username The account name. It is used (along
with a password) by the user to log in
to the VCS and configure their
FindMe details. The username
cannot be changed after the account
has been created.
If remote authentication is enabled, the username defined in
the VCS must match the username set up in the remote
directory service.
Display
name
A free-form display name for the user
(rather than the user's Username or
FindMe ID).
The Display name is used in phone books and as the caller
display name in SIP calls.
Phone
number
The numeric caller ID presented
when making an outbound call
through an ISDN gateway.
To allow call return, this number could be configured to route
to the associated FindMe ID by mapping incoming numbers
to the FindMe ID using ENUM, search rules or CPL. See
FindMe Deployment Guide for more information.
FindMe ID The FindMe alias — the dialable
address — by which the user can be
contacted.
The FindMe ID can be any string of up to 60 characters.
However, not all endpoints are able to dial aliases with
spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters so we
recommend that these are not used in your FindMe IDs.
