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

The VCS periodically polls the Cisco TMSPE services to ensure the data held on VCS 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 VCSs, 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
VCS's cluster replication mechanism.

Using FindMe without Cisco TMS
If you use FindMe without TMS (known as "standalone FindMe"), then all FindMe account information is
stored and managed locally on the VCS. See

VCS Provisioning Server
The VCS Provisioning Server provides provisioning-related services to provisioned devices, using data
supplied by Cisco TMS through the
supplied by Cisco TMS through the
mechanism. The server only operates if the
Device Provisioning option key is installed.
As from version X8.1, the VCS supports only the Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Provisioning
Extension (Cisco TMSPE) services to provide the VCS with provisioning and FindMe data. In this mode all
provisioning and FindMe data is managed and maintained exclusively within Cisco TMS.
