Cisco TelePresence SX80

Introduction Introduction
What's new in CE8
This chapter provides an overview of the new and changed
system settings, and the new features and improvements in
the Cisco Collaboration Endpoint software version 8 (CE8)
compared to TC7.3.
As CE software is based on TC7, the structure and main
functionality remains the same as in TC software. For more
details, we recommend reading the Software release notes:
► http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/collaboration-
endpoints/telepresence-quick-set-series/tsd-products-
support-series-home.html
CE8 upgrade path
Before upgrading, it is important to consider the
upgrade requirements of CE8; otherwise upgrading
to CE8.0 or later can leave you with a non-functional
deployment that requires you to downgrade.
Refer to the software release notes, and the
► Upgrade the system software
D15328.04 SX80 Administrator Guide CE8.2, OCTOBER 2016.
Configuration Peripherals
New features and improvements in CE8.2
LDAP user management
You can register users with ADMIN role from an
external LDAP service to grant them access to the
video system's web interface and API. This allows for
centralized management of ADMIN users. The LDAP
server can be configured from the web interface.
Authenticating users with the USER role using LDAP is
not supported.
LDAP configuration can be set from CUCM. If the video
system requires a certificate for login from LDAP, it must
be uploaded to the video system manually as CUCM is
unable to provision certificates.
Administrator credentials not needed for
remote pairing to a Touch 10
You no longer need to enter administrator credentials
chapter.
when you remote pair a Touch 10 controller to a video
system. All user credentials can be used for this
purpose. The administrator doesn't have to visit the site
or provide administrator credentials in order to pair or
re-pair a touch controller to a video system.
Un-pairing the Touch 10 controller and changing the
administrator settings still require ADMIN credentials.
Additional entry points for in-room controls
In-room controls are extended to allow multiple panels,
which are available depending on the context. These are
the possible entry points: Global (introduced in CE8.1),
Homescreen and In-Call. The Homescreen entry point is
in the home screen icon tray, next to the Dial, Contacts,
and Share buttons. The In-Call entry point is in the icon
tray that is accessible when the video system is in a call.
The Global entry point is in the status bar (as in CE8.1).
New panel icons have also been added.

Cisco Spark support
CE8.2 introduces support for Cisco Spark activation for
SX10 (CTS-SX10-K9), SX20, SX80, MX200 G2, MX300
G2, MX700, MX800, MX800 Dual, DX70 and DX80.
A video system registered to the Cisco Spark service
can be used together with Cisco Spark mobile and
desktop applications.
To register to Cisco Spark:
• Touch 10 must be directly paired (Touch 10 is not
supported for Spark registered SX10N, SX10, SX20,
DX70 and DX80)
• Encryption Option key must be installed (Does not
apply to DX70 and DX80)
When the video system is activated on Cisco Spark, it
downloads the newest version of Cisco Spark Room OS.
Cisco Spark Room OS does not have the same
management capabilities as Collaboration Endpoint
Software as its web and command line interfaces
are locked. The Room System is managed by Cisco
and if there are any issues, contact Cisco Technical
Assistance center through the Cisco Spark mobile
application or from the management portal.
