licensing of Cisco Expressway

[Mikhail Kalita]

Hi, fellow engineers. I have a couple question about Telepresence design. If I need to add Jabber Guest. What kind of licence will be required apart from Cisco Expressway Rich Media Session? How about endpoints? For instance, what kind of licence do I need to purchase so that I make a call from remote office by EX 90? I mean I want to make a call the Headquarter from Teleworker.

Hi Mikhail,

Jabber Guest license requirements are outlined in the following document

How about an endpoint which is outside my network?

Hi Mikhail,

Deployment guide provides these details.

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/jabber/Guest/10_0/icg/JABC_BK_J0FC634A_00_jabberc-installation-and-configuration-guide/JABC_BK_J0FC634A_00_jabberc-installation-and-configuration-guide_chapter_010.html

Please note that in a production environment, Cisco Jabber Guest requires that your Cisco Unified Communications Manager be configured to work with Cisco Expressway.

Cisco Jabber Guest can be pointed directly to Cisco Unified Communications Manager for lab deployments only. You must configure a SIP trunk on Cisco Unified Communications Manager for this deployment. This option is best suited to a lab deployment in which the goal is to familiarize yourself with Cisco Jabber Guest without the additional overhead of configuring Expressway. However, without configuring Expressway, Cisco Jabber Guest is not supported in a production environment.

Do I need to implement Jabber Guest Server in my infrastructure? Or CUCM enough?

Hi Mikhail,

You don't need a Jabber Guest Server if you just allow the teleworkers with EX90 to use the Telepresence resources. You can add a Jabber Guest Server for user who does not have any video device but a H.264 based WebRTC.
