Migrating from direct-managed conference
bridges

If you have direct-managed conference bridges in Cisco TMS and you transition to TelePresence Conductor
scheduling, future conferences on the bridges will need to be migrated. Otherwise, Cisco TMS and
TelePresence Conductor will have no knowledge of the resources which have already been booked on these
conference bridges, which will lead to double-bookings, failed calls, and erroneous monitoring data. To avoid
these issues, follow the migration steps below. Complete the necessary steps for all TelePresence
Conductors in your deployment.
