It is a wired 8-inch touch-screen controller that pairs with a Cisco TelePresence codec to control the system and manage contacts, replacing on-screen menus and a handheld remote. Cisco lists the TelePresence Touch 8 Control Unit among its retired models and states that the product is no longer supported by Cisco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne point of accuracy matters on this part. Cisco has published no end-of-sale or end-of-life bulletin specific to CTS-CTRL-DV8 or CTS-CTRL-DV8=, so no last-order date and no last date of support can be quoted for this exact product. The Touch bulletins Cisco does publish cover the Cisco TelePresence Touch10 and the Cisco Webex Touch10, which are different controllers, and their dates must not be applied here. Cisco has also not published a migration product for the EX-Series Touch, and the EX Series endpoints it controls are themselves retired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation has two supported topologies, both documented by Cisco. The Touch can be connected through its power adapter to the network infrastructure, in which case it obtains IP settings automatically by DHCP and reaches the codec over the network. Alternatively the shielded Ethernet cable runs from the power adapter to the second Ethernet connector on the codec, which requires a codec with two Ethernet ports and keeps the controller off the corporate LAN - often the deciding factor on a restricted network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCable lengths set the practical geometry: a 7.5 m touch cable, a 5 m shielded Ethernet cable and, when shipped standalone, a 1.8 m power cable. Cisco requires codecs and systems using TC software to run version TC4.1 or later to work with the Touch 8. The EX-Series ordering codes add a cradle for desk-side placement, and Cisco's spare description also names a handset. Cisco publishes no display resolution, dimensions, weight, power draw in watts, PoE class, operating temperature or approvals for this controller.
