When configuring the Cisco TelePresence System 500 with a static IP address, where should the IP address be configured?

CUCM manages device registration and call routing but cannot assign or configure the physical network IP address of an endpoint - the device must already be network-accessible before CUCM can interact with it.

The Cisco TelePresence System Administration tool is the local web interface accessed directly on the endpoint device, which exposes network configuration options including static IP address assignment. This is the correct location because the device must have its IP address set locally before it can communicate with any external system such as CUCM or TMS.

TMS is used for scheduling and management of already-registered devices, so it cannot be used to set the initial IP address of an endpoint that is not yet reachable on the network.

Static IP addressing is fully supported on the Cisco TelePresence System 500; the device is not limited to DHCP-provided addresses.

The on-screen display on the Cisco TelePresence System 500 does not provide network-level IP address configuration; that functionality is handled through the web-based administration tool.
