Note the following important considerations when using Cisco Jabber for iPad:

• General Considerations
  • Attention: Apple plans to remove the Always Connect option in the near future. After the Always Connect option is removed, users can select the Connect If Needed option. In some cases, Cisco Jabber users may have issues when using the Connect If Needed option. For example, if the hostname for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager is resolvable outside the corporate network, iOS will not trigger a VPN connection. The user can work around this issue by manually launching Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client before making a call.
  • Cisco Jabber for iPad does not remember server information and credentials when changing server types.
  • If you transition between networks, your availability status may not be accurate.
  • It may take up to 10 minutes for your availability status updates to appear for other contacts.
  • Cisco Jabber for iPad supports interoperability and optimal video quality with Cisco TelePresence System (CTS) devices if you use a TelePresence or video bridge to connect the devices. The number of devices that you can use for joining a video call will be determined by the Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) and settings defined for the conference bridge. For the best video experience when establishing a direct video call between Cisco Jabber for iPad and a CTS device, use the required versions and settings. Otherwise, video quality in Cisco Jabber for iPad will be impacted; resulting video quality may include low frame-rate video with high or increasing latency, lack of lip synchronization, or excessive video artifacting. For more information, see CSCtx47090 in Open caveats.

    Required versions and settings for CTS interoperability
    VCS call control environment: All CTS devices must be using 1.9.1(68) or a later firmware version.
    Unified Communications Manager call control environment: All CTS devices must be using 1.9.1(68) or a later firmware version. Create Media Regions for iPad and CTS by following these steps: Provision two media regions with the first region for CTS using a maximum video call bit rate of 32000 Kbps and second region for iPad using a maximum video call bit rate of 768 Kbps. Create a region relationship from the CTS region to the iPad region, described in step 1, using a maximum video call bit rate of 512 Kbps.
    To verify your VCS firmware and hardware codec versions, check the Device information screen in the Cisco TelePresence System Administration.

    Consult the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration documentation for details about setup.
