Before you Start
Process
Task 1: Add TelePresence Conductor to Cisco TMS
If you have not already done so, add each TelePresence Conductor that you plan to use for scheduling, as a
system in Cisco TMS, and associate each system with the appropriate zone. See the Cisco TMS help or the
Note: If you use clustered TelePresence Conductors, define only one node per cluster to Cisco TMS.
Task 2: Define IP Zone for TelePresence Conductor in Cisco TMS
If you have not already done so, in Cisco TMS go to
Administrative Tools > Locations > IP Zones
and
define one IP zone per TelePresence Conductor, or per TelePresence Conductor cluster.
Task 3: Configure conference bridge resources in TelePresence Conductor
In TelePresence Conductor, configure one or more conference bridge pools and Service Preferences for the
conference bridges to be used for scheduled conferences.
Pools and Service Preferences should only contain bridges within the same physical location.
Various configurations are possible depending on the requirements of your organization. In particular,
whether you need to allocate dedicated resources just for scheduled conferences or if it is acceptable to
share resources with non-scheduled conferences. The latter case has the risk that a scheduled conference
may not be able to start if non-scheduled conferences have already used up the available resources.
.
To optionally implement the Scheduling—dedicated bridge case, you must "mark" the relevant conference
bridge pool(s) for scheduling use. Do this on the Service Preference page in TelePresence Conductor.
Note: When configuring conference bridge pools dedicated for scheduling, we recommend the following:
