Caution:
If you have used Cisco TMS to schedule a conference which will be hosted on an MCU, you must use
Cisco TMS to manage the conference. Never make changes to this conference directly on the MCU. This includes
changes to layout, and moving participants from one conference to another.

Booking a Conference with Remote Systems
Some limitations apply when booking conferences that involve endpoints behind a firewall:
■
Cisco TMS cannot make an endpoint behind a firewall dial out. The endpoint must therefore either be dialed
into, or the person operating the endpoint must manually dial in to the conference.
into, or the person operating the endpoint must manually dial in to the conference.
■
When booking conferences that include multiple endpoints behind a firewall as Automatic Connect, the
conference must include an MCU or local endpoint with embedded multisite support.
A point-to-point conference with Automatic Connect will not work for two systems behind a firewall/NAT, but
will work as expected if one of the endpoints is local.
