Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15
Creating a conference alias for scheduled calls
The alias pattern specifies a range of conference addresses that Cisco TMS can assign to conferences. The
alias is linked to a template on the TelePresence Conductor.
alias is linked to a template on the TelePresence Conductor.
Here we describe creating the alias on Cisco TMS first, then using the generated regex to create the alias on
TelePresence Conductor. If you prefer you can do it the other way round, and create the regex for the alias
pattern yourself on TelePresence Conductor. The order here is not important.

Pattern
Pattern
The pattern can be fixed or can contain a variable, which is denoted by %.
For Cisco VCS deployments, we strongly recommend that the alias pattern contains a domain.
The alias pattern must match one of the following:
l
The route pattern on the Unified CM.
l
The pattern string of the search rule targeting the neighbor zone to the TelePresence
Conductor on the Cisco VCS.
Conductor on the Cisco VCS.
Examples:
l
Variable for Unified CM deployments: 5%
l
Variable for Cisco VCS deployments: meet.%@example.org
l
Fixed: allhands@example.org, 1234@example.org
Note that the variable part of the alias will be generated by Cisco TMS from the Numeric
ID Base configured for the TelePresence Conductor in
ID Base configured for the TelePresence Conductor in
Systems > Navigator >
select the

Priority
Give the alias a priority. The alias with the lowest number has the highest priority, and will be
used first when Cisco TMS creates a conference. If that alias is already in use, the alias with
the next highest number will be used, and so on.

The priority can be any number between 0 and 65535.
