the VCS will continue to operate without loss of service if its connection to Cisco TMS fails. This applies even
if the VCSs are clustered. No specific actions are required as the VCS and Cisco TMS will automatically start
communicating with each other again after the connection is re-established.

Configuring TMS Provisioning Extension services
Cisco TMSPE services are hosted on Cisco TMS. They provide the user, device and phone book data that is used by

the VCS's
to service provisioning requests from endpoint devices. They also provide the VCS with
the FindMe account configuration data that it uses to provide FindMe services.
The TMS Provisioning Extension services page (System > TMS Provisioning Extension services) is used to
configure how the VCS connects to the Cisco TMSPE services. We recommend that you use Cisco TMS to make any
changes to the Cisco TMSPE services' configuration settings. Any changes made to the settings via this page will not
be applied within Cisco TMS.
