The correct answer is B. The codec and the Touch 8 are on separate subnets. C. Pairing visibility mode is not active on the codec.. Auto-discovery of a codec by a Touch 8 panel relies on multicast communication within the same subnet and requires pairing visibility to be enabled on the codec.

Question

A technician is trying to pair a Touch 8 with a Cisco TelePresence SX20 endpoint, but the codec is not automatically listed in the touch panel. What are two possible reasons for this behavior? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AThe codec firmware version is below version TC 6.1.
  • BThe codec and the Touch 8 are on separate subnets.
  • CPairing visibility mode is not active on the codec.
  • DThe codec is not compatible with a Touch 8 device.
  • EThe Touch 8 is connected via the second Ethernet port on the codec.

Why each option

Auto-discovery of a codec by a Touch 8 panel relies on multicast communication within the same subnet and requires pairing visibility to be enabled on the codec.

AThe codec firmware version is below version TC 6.1.

While Touch 8 requires a minimum firmware version, the relevant threshold is TC 7.x or later, not TC 6.1; TC 6.1 is not the boundary version for Touch 8 compatibility.

BThe codec and the Touch 8 are on separate subnets.Correct

The Touch 8 uses multicast-based auto-discovery to find codecs on the network; multicast traffic does not cross subnet boundaries by default, so a codec on a different subnet will not appear in the Touch panel device list.

CPairing visibility mode is not active on the codec.Correct

The codec must have pairing visibility mode activated in its settings to broadcast its presence for auto-discovery; if this mode is disabled, the Touch 8 cannot detect the codec automatically.

DThe codec is not compatible with a Touch 8 device.

The Cisco TelePresence SX20 is a supported and compatible codec for use with the Touch 8 control panel.

EThe Touch 8 is connected via the second Ethernet port on the codec.

The Touch 8 connects via the dedicated touch panel port or the primary LAN port on the codec, and connection via the second Ethernet port is not a documented reason for auto-discovery failure.
