A proof of concept demo, to show augmented reality on Cisco Telepresence EX series video endpoints.  The Atomic tool is used for the augmented reality part.

ISR G2 - cme-srst license

On ISRG2, in order to use cme-srst feature, just installing uck9 license is not good enough.  You also need to activate the cme-srst license by accepting the end user agreement.  After that you can use this feature for 12 years.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/sw_activation/SA_on_ISR.html#wp1155517

Here is the command you need to issue:
config t
license accept end user agreement

reload your router then check:


SRST-R2#sh license det cme-srst
Feature: cme-srst                        Period left: 8  weeks 3  days
Index: 1        Feature: cme-srst                          Version: 1.0
        License Type: EvalRightToUse
        License State: Active, In Use
            Evaluation total period: 8  weeks 4  days
            Evaluation period left: 8  weeks 3  days
            Period used: 38 minutes 3  seconds
            Transition date: Jan 21 2013 17:12:02
        License Count: 20/0  (In-use/Violation)
        License Priority: Low
        Store Index: 7
        Store Name: Built-In License Storage

Be careful that before you do this step, you can still issue the CME-SRST command, it just doesn't work!  The phone cannot be registered with the reject message

Jabber for iPad 9.1 - supports encryption now!

Just tested, works cool.  See the lock icon?

Minnie just bought a new iPad for Mickey with Jabber pre-installed so that she can call him with video anytime.  She is now making a test call between Jabber Video on Mac and Jabber for iPad, via 4G LTE modem.

Hadoop + Cisco SocialMiner = ?

What I am trying to do is to marry BigData Hadoop with Cisco SocialMiner, to collect the latest 1000 tweets on Twitter about Cisco, and analysis what is the most common words that people are using.

One of the beauty of SocialMiner is the API of it is very simple, just a HTTP request then you can get all your tweets in XML format.  You don't need to learn Twitter and Facebook API in order to collect the social contacts that you want.  This is how it works:

Several steps involved:
1. Setup Campaign in SocialMiner to collect Twitter stream with keywords Cisco, #Cisco and @Cisco
2. Write a little script on my Linux machine to get the XML file, and extracted the content of the tweets.
3. Copy it to the Hadoop HDFS, run the word count program.
4. Use Apache Pig, an abstracted level of Hadoop which allows you to use statement similar to SQL, to do the sorting.
5. Format the output in another XML file for graph plotting.  Done!

Looks like WebEx Meeting Server (on-premises WebEx) is the hottest topic now!

WebEx Social 3.0

Trying to setup WebEx Social 3.0 in my lab, and find it not as straight forward as I thought.  Some points to share:

1. First of all, there are 11 roles of WebEx Social VM and a minimum 12 VMs are required.  Make sure you have enough resource.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/collaboration/ecp/admin/3_0/guide/ecpsetup.html

2.  Make sure you install the Director FIRST.  Then RDBMS SECOND.  Make sure the App Server (the web server actually) install and add to the Director LAST.  This is very very important.  I forced to redo my work the first time I install because I didn't install the App Server last.

3.  According to the guide in the above link, the default admin user for WebEx Social Web Login is

Username:  test@cisco.com
Password:  test

But this is WRONG!

The correct one should be,

Username:  test@your_company.com
Password:  test

Don't substitute "your_company.com" with your company name, this is the exact text you need to input.

4.  For Search Store you need at least 2 VM, one for master and one for slave

5.  For RDBMS you can only have 1 VM, single point of failure?

Anyway still playing around, will update when I find something interesting.
