Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15
Examples
If you previously had a bridge with 48 ports and replaced it with two TelePresence Servers with 24 ports:
n
You will not be able to schedule an immersive conference requiring 30 ports, as neither TelePresence
Server is sufficiently large to handle the conference on their own.
Server is sufficiently large to handle the conference on their own.
n
If existing bookings are using up 14 ports of both new bridges, you will not be able to create a new
conference with more than 10 participants, although there are 20 free ports across the network combined.
conference with more than 10 participants, although there are 20 free ports across the network combined.
To avoid the above scenarios, deploy larger TelePresence Server bridges with clustering.
Task 3: Compiling system information
As part of your planning, create lists of all systems that are currently being scheduled through Cisco
TelePresence Manager. You must also collect the details for any new systems you are planning to add.
These lists will ensure that you capture all systems when setting up your Cisco TMS deployment.
