Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15

Smart Scheduler is a part of the Cisco Collaboration Meeting Rooms Hybrid solution, allowing users to set up
telepresence meetings with and without WebEx.

Users can book:

■

Telepresence rooms

Any bookable system in Cisco TMS can be scheduled directly.

■

Call-in participants

Any system that is not supported by Cisco TMS booking can be scheduled as a call-in participant, including
devices provisioned by Cisco TMSPE.

Call-in participants must use the following protocols:

Protocol

Select

ISDN

Call-in participants must use ISDN for video or ISDN Audio

IP(H323)

Call-in participants must use IP(H323) for video or IP(H323) Audio

SIP

Call-in participants must use SIP for video or SIP Audio.

Best Practices and Limitations

We strongly recommend that bookings created in Cisco TMS not be modified using Smart Scheduler, as this interface
does not support all features and options that may have been chosen for the meeting in Cisco TMS.

Specifically:

■

Exceptions to recurrent meeting series are not supported in Smart Scheduler. Any modification will be applied to
all occurrences.

■

Smart Scheduler will rename call-in participants added from Cisco TMS.

Booking Limitations

The following limitations apply when booking through Cisco TMSPE or any other extension using Cisco TelePresence
Management Suite Extension Booking API:

■

Cascading to additional MCUs when the number of participants exceeds the capacity of the first MCU is not
supported.
To support such scenarios, set up Cisco TelePresence Conductor as the preferred MCU in Cisco TMS.
