When a system in Cisco TMS is out of order, or awaiting a swap, we recommend preventing it from
accepting new bookings:

3. Set Allow Bookings to No.
4. Click Save/Try.
Replacing the endpoint
Follow this procedure to replace an endpoint:
1. Go to
Systems > Navigator
and click on the system you wish to replace
2. Click the Connection tab.
3. Click Replace System.
4. Do one of the following:
l
Enter the IP or DNS address of the replacement system.
l
Browse to an existing system in Cisco TMS by clicking Select System….
5. Click Next.
A summary page is displayed.
6. Choose whether to keep the system name, call configuration, apply last configuration backup, and keep all
logs of the system. You can also choose to purge the replacement system from Cisco TMS.
7. Click OK.
8. The swap will now be completed.
Endpoints on the same Cisco VCS
Note that if you wish to replace the connection settings of the current system with the connection settings of
another system registered to the same Cisco VCS, a time delay for H.323 devices will influence the process.
another system registered to the same Cisco VCS, a time delay for H.323 devices will influence the process.
This registration timeout setting in Cisco VCS is by default set to 1800 seconds (30 minutes). This means
that when selecting Keep call configuration (H.323 ID, E.164 alias and SIP URI) to system, two
settings will not be copied from the old system to the new and have to be set manually:

Requested SIP Server Address.
If you enter an IP address or DNS name that does not exist, for example because the system you are
replacing is down, you may still update the network address of the current system. This will however result in
a ticket indicating a connection error.
