Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15
Limitations and Requirements for Scheduling
Limitations
CAUTION
: If you use clustered TelePresence Conductors, be aware that Cisco TMS only recognizes one
TelePresence Conductor node. If that cluster node should fail, the Cisco TMS scheduling service and its
CMR provisioning service will be out of service (until the TelePresence Conductor is brought back up or
Cisco TMS is updated to communicate with a different TelePresence Conductor in the cluster).
It is not possible to schedule Cisco TMSPE-provisioned CMRs.
If you use TSP Audio provided by a TSP that is configured to use the same bridge as the previous scheduled
conference, we recommend that you turn off the auto-extend function in Cisco TMS.
The scheduling solution with TelePresence Conductor and Cisco TMS has some notable limitations at this
time, and significant differences exist from the previous method in Release 3.0 (scheduling to direct-
managed bridges). We strongly recommend before you enable scheduling, that you review the following
documents:

A table containing the differences between the previous solution method of scheduling direct-managed
bridges (previous release) and scheduling TelePresence Conductor-managed bridges (this release) is

Requirements
n
CMR Premises requires the Cisco TMS management tool for scheduling. Conferences are not scheduled
directly on TelePresence Conductor.
n
Ensure that the solution-level prerequisites and configuration process for CMR Premises are complete. In
particular:
l
A SIP trunk is required between the call controller and TelePresence Conductor.
l
The SIP trunks should be configured for Early Offer messaging.
l
The TelePresence Conductor must be deployed using its back-to-back user agent (B2BUA). The
external policy server interface is not supported.
l
The TelePresence Conductor needs at least one populated conference bridge pool and one Service
Preference. At least one bridge pool in the Service Preference must have the Pools to use for
Scheduling option enabled.
