2 C H A P T E R Preparing to Install the Conference Station on Your Network The Cisco Unified IP Conference Station 7937G enables you to communicate using voice over a data network. To provide this capability, the conference stations depend upon and interact with several other key Cisco Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony and network components, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0, Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers, Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) servers, media resources, and so on. This chapter focuses on the interactions between the conference station and Cisco Unified Communications Manager, DNS and DHCP servers, TFTP servers, and switches. It also describes options for powering conference stations.
