Administrator Login

Specifies the name that you want to assign to the Administrator account.

Ensure the name is unique; it can contain lowercase, alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. It must start with a lowercase, alphanumeric character.

You should record this mandatory field value for use when signing in to the CLI on the platform or into the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration.

Note: You cannot change this field after installation.

Administrator Password

Specifies the password for the Administrator account.

Use this password to sign in to Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration, Disaster Recovery System, and the CLI.

Application User Username and Password

Specifies the user ID and password for Cisco Unified Presence administration.

Use this user ID and password to sign in to the Cisco Unified Presence administration interfa ce.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Click Yes if you want to use DHCP to automatically configure the network settings on your server.

If you click No, you must enter a hostname, IP Address, IP Mask, Gateway, and DNS configuration.

DNS Enabled

A Domain Name System (DNS) server represents a device that resolves a hostname into an IP address or an IP address into a hostname.

The DNS fields only display when you are not using DHCP.

If you do not have a DNS server, enter No. When DNS is not enabled, you should only enter IP addresses (not hostnames) for all network devices in your Cisco IP Telephony network.

If you have a DNS server, we recommend that you enter Yes to enable DNS. Disabling DNS limits the ability of the system to resolve some domain names.

DNS Primary

Cisco Unified Presence contacts this DNS server first when attempting to resolve host names.

Enter the IP address of the DNS server that you want to specify as the primary DNS server. Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format as ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have a value between 0 and 255 (except 0.0.0.0).

Consider this field mandatory if DNS is set to yes.

DNS Secondary

When a primary DNS server fails, Cisco Unified Presence will attempt to connect to the secondary DNS server.

In this optional field, enter the IP address of the secondary DNS. Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format as ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have a value between 0 and 255 (except 0.0.0.0).

Domain

Represents the name of the domain in which this machine is located.

Consider this field mandatory if DNS is set to yes.

Gateway Address

A gateway represents a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. Outbound packets are sent to the gateway that will forward them to their final destination.

Enter the IP address of the gateway in the format ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have a value between 0 and 255 (except 0.0.0.0)

If you do not have a gateway, you must still fill in this field by setting it to 255.255.255.255. Not having a gateway may limit you to being able to communicate with devices only on your subnet.

Host Name

A host name represents an alias that is assigned to an IP address to identify it.

Enter a host name that is unique to your network.

The host name can comprise up to 64 characters and can contain alphanumeric characters and hyphens.

If DHCP is set to no, consider this field mandatory.

IP Address

Specifies the IP address of this machine. It will uniquely identify the server on this network. No other machine in this network should be using this IP address.

Enter the IP address in the form ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have a value between 0 and 255 (except 0.0.0.0).

If DHCP is set to no, consider this field mandatory.

IP Mask

Specifies the IP subnet mask of this machine. The subnet mask together with the IP address defines the network address and the host address.

Enter the IP mask in the form ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have a value between 0 and 255 (except 0.0.0.0).

A valid mask should have contiguous '1' bits on left side and contiguous '0' bits on the right.

For example, a valid mask follows: 255.255.240.0 (11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000)

An invalid mask follows: 255.255.240.240 (11111111.11111111.11110000.11110000)

MTU

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) represents the largest packet, in bytes, that this host will transmit on the network.

Enter the MTU size in bytes for your network. If you are unsure of the MTU setting for your network, use the default value.

Default: 1500 bytes

The MTU setting must be the same on all nodes in a cluster.

SMTP Location

Specifies the name of the SMTP host that is used for outbound email.

Enter the hostname or dotted IP address for the SMTP server. For a host, it can contain alphanumeric characters, hyphens, or periods. For a host name, it must start with an alphanumeric character.

You must fill in this field if you plan to use electronic notification. If not, you can leave it blank.

Time zone

Reflects the local time zone and offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Click Yes if you want to change the time zone.

Select the time zone that most closely matches the location of your machine.
