The Cisco TelePresence System User Guide describes the functions of the Cisco TelePresence System
(CTS) Cisco Unified IP phone and the telephony and high-definition main display screen user interfaces,
including main display screen details and system icons.
The CTS Cisco Unified IP phone is the control center for your Cisco TelePresence System endpoint. All
of the Cisco TelePresence call functions, such as placing and answering a Cisco TelePresence call, and
conferencing in an audio call are performed while the Cisco Unified IP 7900 Series phone is on-hook;
the audio is heard from the CTS speakers rather than from the phone. You can also use the CTS phone
off-hook to perform standard phone functions. For standard phone functions, refer to the Cisco Unified
IP Phones 7900 Series End-User Guides and quick reference cards.
CTS Release 1.8 introduces a touch-panel device option that replaces the CTS Cisco Unified IP phone
to control the CTS. See the “Cisco TelePresence Touch 12 for Cisco TelePresence” section on page 2 for
more information.
The CTS Cisco Unified IP phone and the Cisco TelePresence Touch 12 are used in conjunction with a
high-definition display screen, which supports life-like images for meeting participants.
