Routing and distribution in cascaded MCU conferences
Least cost routing
In cascaded conferences:
Cisco TMS will now prefer MCUs in this order:
1. Cisco TelePresence MCU
2. Cisco TelePresence MPS
3. Tandberg MCU
4. 3rd party MCU
Cisco TMS will always prefer the MCU with the most remaining capacity. This will effectively give you fewer
MCUs than you needed in previous Cisco TMS releases which is a more efficient use of resources.

Best impression distribution
In this release there have been two changes to Best Impression distribution:
n
MCUs are now sorted by available number of video ports instead of by total number of ISDN ports.

Removed Enable Cisco CTS Native Interop Call Routing
This setting, which was under
Administrative Tools > Configuration > Conference Settings
, was for
use with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Cisco Unified CM) and CTS endpoints to enable
scheduling of a call between an endpoint running TC or TE software and a Cisco CTS endpoint in Cisco TMS
without the requirement for a TelePresence Server to bridge the call.
scheduling of a call between an endpoint running TC or TE software and a Cisco CTS endpoint in Cisco TMS
without the requirement for a TelePresence Server to bridge the call.
This applied only to CTS version 1.7.4 and earlier and Cisco Unified CM version 8.5 or earlier.
The default setting was No: A Cisco TelePresence Server will host the conference. Now, the setting has
effectively been set to Yes permanently: (A TelePresence Server will not be used), and removed in the GUI,
so Cisco TMS will not use a TelePresence Server by default when routing CTS endpoints in calls.

CTS endpoints and Cisco Unified CMs running older software must be upgraded before upgrading Cisco
TMS, or you will lose the ability to schedule calls between CTS endpoints and endpoints running TE and TC
software because routing will fail.

Upgrading Cisco TMS to 14.2 will change the setting to Yes even if it was previously disabled. Routing
behavior for future conferences booked before the upgrade will not change. These calls will still use a
TelePresence Server.
