Used DX80 setup

[oneill.eugene]

Hi there, I'm considering purchasing a used Cisco DX80 and was wondering about setup.

I'm new to the Cisco ecosystem, so I'm curious if I need any subscriptions, services, etc to get up and running?

My primary (and only?) use case is for standalone BlueJeans conferencing. I've used the DX80 for BlueJeans before, but it was setup through VCS, which I do not plan to use here.

Am I able to switch between Cisco CE and Android? Can I upgrade firmware versions? TFTP Servers, CUCM Cluster, do I need to worry about any of this?

Thanks!

For your use case you will need to run CE code, Android won't work.  You should be able to dial directly into BlueJeans  if you're connected to the internet without the need for VCS/CUCM etc if you set it up as a stand alone unit.

Thanks for the quick response!

If the machine is currently running Android, how complex is it to convert to CE? Is it as simple as following this guide: http://upgrade.cisco.com/DX

Would screen sharing work with this setup?

Thanks!

Yes just follow the guide to upgrade and yes, screen sharing will work with this setup.
