The Devices service exchanges provisioning licensing information between the Expressway and
Cisco TMS. Information is exchanged every 30 seconds — the Expressway is provided with the current
number of free licenses available across the range of Expressway clusters being managed by Cisco
TMS, and the Expressway updates Cisco TMS with the status of provisioning licenses being used by
this Expressway (or Expressway cluster).

The Expressway periodically polls the Cisco TMSPE services to ensure the data held on Expressway is kept up
to date. The polling interval can be defined for each service. In typical deployments you are recommended to
use the default settings which provide frequent (every 2 minutes) updates to FindMe and user provisioning
data, and daily updates to phone book data.

If you have a cluster of Expressways, only one of the cluster peers maintains the physical connection to Cisco
TMS. The data obtained from Cisco TMS is then shared between other peers in the cluster through the
Expressway's cluster replication mechanism.

A full and immediate resynchronization of all data between the Expressway and Cisco TMS can be triggered at
any time by clicking Perform full synchronization (at the bottom of the of the TMS Provisioning Extension
services page). Note that this will result in a temporary (a few seconds) lack of service on the Expressway
while the data is deleted and fully refreshed. If you only need to ensure that all of the latest updates within
Cisco TMS have been supplied to the Expressway then click Check for updates instead.

Provisioning Licenses
There is a limit to the number of devices that can be provisioned concurrently by the Provisioning Server. Expressway
and Cisco TMS manage the number of available provisioning licenses by exchanging information through the Cisco
TMSPE Devices service. If the Devices service is not active, the Expressway's Provisioning Server will not be able to
provision any devices.
