Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15

■

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 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.

■

When a service user is performing all bookings, the booking permissions are the same for all users. Individual
permissions and restrictions in Cisco TMS are ignored.

■

Meetings in the past cannot be changed or deleted, and you cannot move a meeting from the past to the future.

■

If sufficient system licenses are not available at the time of editing an existing booking, the booking will be deleted.

■

Yearly recurrence is not supported.

Booking Horizon and Recurrence

Cisco TMS will decline any meeting request that is not within its booking horizon or that has an unsupported recurrence
pattern:

■

Series with more than 100 occurrences or with no end date.

■

Meetings including occurrences outside of the Cisco TMS booking window. We strongly recommend configuring
identical booking windows for Cisco TMS and all integrated resource mailboxes in Exchange.

■

Meetings in the past.

Ongoing Meetings

Updating a single meeting that is currently ongoing is possible, but will not always be successful.
