Common PC System Requirements

Transcription

1 Cisco WebEx Meeting Server (CWMS) system requirements common to browsers and operating systems. The requirements for the administrator PC and the Productivity Tools user PC are the same. Client and Browser Requirements JavaScript and cookies enabled Java 6, Java 7, or Java 8 (for web browsers that support Java) enabled Cisco WebEx plug-ins enabled for Chrome 32 and later or Firefox 27 and later Plug-ins enabled in Safari Active X enabled and unblocked for Microsoft Internet Explorer (recommended) ote Because of Google and Mozilla policy changes, starting with Chrome 32 and Firefox 27, it might be necessary for users to manually enable the WebEx plug-in when using these browsers1 to join a WebEx meeting or to play a WebEx recording. More information and instructions can be found at support.webex.com/webex/meetings/en_us/chrome-firefox-join-faq.htm. If a client is using a browser other than the specified versions of Chrome or Firefox and have Java enabled, the application automatically downloads onto the client system the first time that client starts or joins a meeting. We recommend that you direct all clients to install the latest update for your Java version. TLS Requirements Configure Internet settings on all user computers to use TLS encryption. For example, on a Windows PC select Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced > Security > Use TLS 1.1 and Use TLS 1.2. We recommend selecting both options for maximum compatibility. (Use TLS 1.0 is not supported in versions 2.7 or higher.) If your users host meetings for guests, such as people who do not work for your company, tell those meeting guests to manually update their operating systems and browsers that they must match the TLS setting before they join your meetings. If they do not modify their systems, they will experience compatibility issues. We 1 The exact versions of Chrome and Firefox that are impacted by this policy have not been finalized as of the publishing of this document. 1

2 Operating System Requirements for Windows recommend that you include these instructions in your meeting invitations. ou can do this by editing the appropriate meeting invitations available on your Administration site at Settings > > Templates. SSL and TLS Requirements Configure Internet settings on all user computers to use SSL and TLS encryption. For example, on a Windows PC: Select Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced > Security > Use SSL 3.0. We recommend selecting this option for maximum compatibility. SelectControl Panel > Internet Options > Advanced > Security > Use TLS 1.0 and Use TLS 1.2 for maximum compatibility. If your users host meetings for guests, such as people who do not work for your company, tell those meeting guests to manually update their operating systems and browsers that they must match the SSL or TLS setting before they join your meetings. If they do not perform these steps, they will experience compatibility issues. We recommend that you include these instructions in your meeting invitations. ou can do this by editing the appropriate meeting invitations available on your Administration site at Settings > > Templates..

5 Operating System Requirements for MAC Cisco Jabber for Windows 11.0 Cisco Jabber for Windows 11.5 (CWMS 2.6MR1) Cisco Jabber for Windows 11.6 Supports Server with LDAP/Active Directory integration. Restriction Jabber for Windows supports integration with Server 1.5 and later sites that are configured for SAML 2.0 single sign-on (SSO). Earlier versions of Jabber for Windows do not support single sign-on. ot all Cisco Jabber versions or platforms support integration with Server. (For example, cloud-based Jabber and WebEx Communicator.) For information about integrating with Cisco WebEx Meetings Server, see the Cisco Jabber for Windows documentation at products/ps12511/tsd_products_support_series_home.html.

A user can also access Cisco WebEx on a mobile device by using a browser, but it might not provide the same optimal user experience. Cisco WebEx Meeting Server version 2.0 and higher supports: Apple iphones and ipads using ios 6.0 and later. Android mobile devices using Android 2.1 and later. Jabber for iphones and for Android 9.6 and later. ote ou cannot playback recording on mobile device. If you started a meeting by using an Android mobile device, you can start and manage the recording of a meeting. If you started a meeting by using an ios mobile device, you cannot start or manage the recording of a meeting on the ios device. Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp Support Cisco Webex Meeting Server supports Citrix XenDesktop 7.6 where the host operating system and virtual operating system are both Windows 7 or Windows 8. (The host operating system is the operating system installed on the end user's computer. The virtual operating system is the operating system delivered by the server.) Known Issues and Limitations Due to an architectural limitation of the virtual desktop environment, sending video might not function smoothly. In addition, when sending video in a meeting, the frame rate might be low, resulting in a less-than-optimal user experience. Some video files cannot be shared in a virtual desktop environment. When running a Mac OS, the web cam and microphone (either external or integrated) might not be recognized and available for use in a meeting. Remote Access and Access Anywhere are not supported because the Remote Access and Access Anywhere agents are automatically removed by the underlying Citrix platform when the operating system restarts. Productivity Tools users cannot start a One Click meeting or start a scheduled meeting from Outlook. 6

About Host Licenses This product has Host-based Licensing requiring that you purchase a license for each user that hosts meetings or is manually assigned a license. A user does not consume a Host license by attending or scheduling a meeting on behalf of others. The license usage calculation for reporting purposes occurs once per month, for example, once from January 1 through 31, and once from February 1 through 28, and so forth. ote When upgrading from a previous version to version 2.5 or higher, all licenses that were on the original system are released from their assignment to users. Users can reacquire licenses by hosting meetings or being manually assigned licenses. This is also true when installing a Multi-data Center (MDC) system. Host licenses are lost on the data center joining the MDC system. Those licenses can be re-hosted on the MDC system after the Join. From the Reports page, you can request a report that provides the total number of licenses consumed. In addition, we recommend that you view the PDF Summary Report that shows license consumption trends. By viewing the overall license trend, you can plan for future license purchases more effectively, to match the growing adoption of this system within your company. 9
