To be managed by Cisco TMS
in the traditional ‘Managed by Cisco TMS’ mode, a system requires full bi-
directional communication over the IP network to Cisco TMS with the following ports and protocols.

Note: Network systems that rewrite source addresses will interfere with communications to Cisco TMS
and proxies that require authentication may also hinder communications from systems to Cisco TMS.

Requirements
When configured for Behind Firewall connectivity, the network requirements change to only
require outbound connectivity via HTTP (TCP Port 80) or HTTPS (TCP Port 443) to Cisco
TMS. The managed device can also be behind a NAT device.

Requirements
The network requirements change in that HTTP, FTP and SNMP will not be used and no
longer are required. All connectivity to the system will be via HTTPS (TCP Port 443) inbound
and outbound with the system. This mode can also be combined with Behind Firewall
Connectivity to require only HTTPS (TCP Port 443) outbound from the system. When enabled,
protocol and URL settings in the managed systems will be changed to HTTPS instead of
HTTP.

Device Notes/Limitations
Cisco TMS does not automatically make endpoints answer calls. If Auto Answer is disabled, a user
must manually answer scheduled calls placed to the endpoint. Calls dialed out from the endpoint are
handled automatically.
