Introduction Introduction

What's new in CE8.0

This section provides an overview of the new and
changed system settings, and the new features and
improvements in the Cisco Collaboration Endpoint
software version 8.0 (CE8.0) 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:

It is important to consider the upgrade
requirements of CE8 before upgrading; other-
wise upgrading to CE8 can leave you with a
non-functioning deployment that requires you to
downgrade.

• MX700
• MX800

User interfaces
Products running CE software, must use the following user
interfaces:
• Touch 10 controller, available for all products.
• TRC6 remote control, available for SX10 and SX20.
Touch 8 controller and remote control TRC5 are not
supported.
SX20 has a new on-screen display due to the introduc-
tion of the TRC6 remote control. The on-screen display for
SX20 is now aligned with SX10.
If you upgrade an SX20 with a Touch 8 controller or TRC5
remote control to CE8.0, you will receive a notice to
downgrade back to TC7.3 or earlier.
xCommand
API changes
The number of API commands has been reduced. Some
commands have been removed entirely while others are
different syntactically to cater for underlying architectural
changes.
It is important to consider that current integrations that use
the API are likely to need to be reprogrammed in order to
work with the new API.
The full list of the changes, as well as a list of new
commands are available in this chapter.
Intelligent Proximity for content sharing
Cisco Proximity allows you to automatically pair your device
(smartphone, tablet, or laptop) with the video system when
the device comes within range. This feature is disabled by
default.
Cisco Proximity offers three services: Content sharing to
clients, content sharing from clients and basic call control.
These services are disabled by default.
The Cisco Proximity clients for smartphones and tablets
(Android and iOS), and laptops (Windows and OS X) can be
downloaded from http://proximity.cisco.com. Clients for
smartphones and tablets are also available through Google
Play (Android) and Apple App Store (iOS).
