Environmental Issues
Thank you for buying a product which contributes to a reduction in
pollution, and thereby helps save the environment. Our products
reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby reduce
pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable
parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper). Our products are low energy
consuming products.
European Environmental Directives
As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment TANDBERG As part of compliance with the European WEEE Directive,
is responsible for compliance with the requirements in the European TANDBERG provides recycling information on request for all types
Information for Recyclers
Directives 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and 2002/95/EC (RoHS).
of new equipment put on the market in Europe after 13 August
2005.
The primary aim of the WEEE Directive and RoHS Directive is
to reduce the impact of disposal of electrical and electronic
equipment at end-of-life. The WEEE Directive aims to reduce
the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration
by requiring producers to arrange for collection and recycling.
The RoHS Directive bans the use of certain heavy metals and
brominated flame retardants to reduce the environmental impact
of WEEE which is landfilled or incinerated.
Please contact TANDBERG and provide the following details for the
product for which you would like to receive recycling information:
TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy
• Model number of TANDBERG product
• Your company’s name
• Contact name
• Address
• Telephone number
• E-mail.
Environmental stewardship is important to TANDBERG’s culture.
As a global company with strong corporate values, TANDBERG
is committed to following international environmental legislation
and designing technologies that help companies, individuals and
communities creatively address environmental challenges.
TANDBERG has implemented necessary process changes to
comply with the European RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) and the
European WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC).
TANDBERG’s environmental objectives are to:
• Develop products that reduce energy consumption, CO2

emissions, and traffic congestion.
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that we have replaced the
printed versions of our User Guides with a digital CD version.
Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one
CD—which can be used with all TANDBERG products—in a variety
of languages. The environmental benefits of this are significant.
The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper are huge. A
simple web-based search feature helps you directly access the
information you need. In addition, the TANDBERG video systems
now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a
range of useful features and tips. The contents of the CD can still
be printed locally, whenever needed.
• Provide products and services that improve quality of life for
Waste Handling
our customers.
In order to avoid the dissemination of hazardous substances in our
environment and to diminish the pressure on natural
resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate
take-back systems in your area. Those systems will
reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end of
life equipment in a sound way.
• Produce products that can be recycled or disposed of safely at
the end of product life.
• Comply with all relevant environmental legislation.
TANDBERG products put on the market after August
2005 are marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin
symbol that invites you to use those take-back systems.
Please contact your local supplier, the regional waste
administration or http://www.tandberg.net/recycling if you need
more information on the collection and recycling system in your
area.

Basic H.323 Services Setup
About Basic H.323 Services
Step 1 - Initial Setup
A quick basic setup of your TANDBERG Content
Server includes:
Start a Web browser and enter the IP
address of the Content Server. You
can use either http or https, with https
recommended for administrative access.
When prompted for login, enter the
username administrator and
password TANDBERG
Go to Conference Setup>Recording
Alias Options. Edit the E.164 aliases
and H323 IDs for the default Recording
Aliases and save.
1. Setting up H.323 services via the Content
Server interface.
2. Making a test call recording.
3. Changing the administrator password and
setting up server date and time on the
Windows Server.
Make sure that the E.164 aliases and H.323
IDs unique on your network are valid for
your gatekeeper or border controller.
By default, the Content Server’s H.323
ID is set to the machine name, eg.
TANDBERG-<random number>. The H.323 ID of
a live Recording Alias is set to Live<machine_
name> and the H.323 ID of an on demand
Recording Alias is set to OnDemand<machine_
name>. If upgrading from S2, the machine
name will be replaced by the serial number.
Go to the Administrator Settings > Site
Settings to set the System Name for the
Content Server.
If required, set Gatekeeper registration
to Enabled and set the Gatekeeper IP
address. You can choose to register
the Content Server as a Terminal
or a Gateway. If you select Gateway
registration, you will need to enter H.323
and E.164 Gateway prefixes.
Save the Site Settings. You may refresh
the browser page to check if gatekeeper
registration has been successful.
You can register the Content Server with
either gatekeeper or border controller.
For simplicity in this document we’ll use
gatekeeper to refer to either device.
The default local administrator account
should be used for administrative
functions such as system upgrades
and updates and when using Remote Desktop
access to the Content Server. It is therefore very
important to change your password as described
!
Note: The System Name is used by TMS
to identify the Content Server.

1. Setting up H.323 services via the Content
Server interface (described on the previous
page).
2. Making a test call recording.
3. Changing the administrator password and
setting up server date and time on the
Windows Server (described on the next
page).
If the recording alias you have selected
has a live stream output, you can watch
the streaming call in Live Conferences.
Calls made with aliases which have
no live streaming outputs will not be
available for viewing until the call has
finished and the recording has been
transcoded.
You can end the call from the Edit link in
Live Conferences, or from the endpoint
you dialed.
You can watch the on demand conference
in Recorded Conferences. Calls which
were made with the default On Demand
alias need to be transcoded before they
can be watched. The progress of the
transcoding process can be viewed in
If the Content Server is not registered
to a gatekeeper, you can make a test
recording by dialing the IP address of the
Content Server from an endpoint.

TANDBERG Content Server become available.
All relevant security updates for the
The TANDBERG Content Server has implemented SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol for sending
user authentication information (username and password) in a secure way at user log in. The SSL
implementation means that the Content Server website needs to establish its credentials with the
user’s browser through an electronic document known as a security certificate.
TANDBERG Content Server are available from

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU DOWNLOAD AND
INSTALL THE MOST RECENT SECURITY UPDATE
FOR EACH YEAR FROM THE TANDBERG FTP
SITE BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. YOU
SHOULD ALSO CHECK THIS SITE REGULARLY
TO SEE IF NEW SECURITY UPDATES ARE
AVAILABLE. ALL SECURITY UPDATES RELEVANT
TO THE Content Server ARE CUMULATIVE
THROUGHOUT THE CALENDAR YEAR.
Each TANDBERG Content Server is shipped with a self signed certificate issued by TANDBERG,
which is valid for a year. As TANDBERG is not a trusted Certificate Authority, when users try to log
in to the Content Server, most browsers will display a message that the identity of the site could
not be verified. Users may add the Content Server to their trusted sites list to avoid getting error
messages at log in.
You can also check the following ftp site for all
available downloads:
Once the original Content Server certificate has expired, another certificate request can be
generated using the IIS certificate wizard. Once this request is generated, another self signed
certificate may be created, using a third party tool, or this request can be forwarded to a certificate
issuing authority.
TANDBERG recommends purchasing a security certificate from a certificate issuing authority that
has a trusted relationship back to a root authority, such as VeriSign or Comodo. These credentials
are most likely to be trusted by browsers, removing the need to add the Content Server to the list
of trusted sites. This certificate needs to be generated against the Windows machine name or the
DNS entry associated with the IP address that the TCS is using.
About Remote Desktop
Using Remote Desktop
Content Server software upgrades and security
updates need to be installed using Remote

Backing Up Your Content Server
About Backing up
The Backup Procedure
The backup procedure described here will back up your
application, database, media and all settings.
If you are not backing up to a network location, connect
a USB hard drive to a USB port on the Content Server. If
the USB device does not appear in My Computer, go to
Computer Management and assign a drive letter which
does not conflict with the existing drives (eg. F).
Authenticate to open a Remote Desktop connection. If
your Internet Explorer 7 settings prevent you from running
Active X scripts, you may need to add the Content Server
to your Trusted Sites list in IE.
This full backup differs from the partial backup tool used in S2.0
which only backed up the database.
This procedure alllows you to make one-off as well as scheduled
backups. We recommend regular backups, and making a special
one-off backup before upgrading your Content Server.
It is very important to follow the restore procedure as described
here, otherwise future upgrades may not work.
Login to the web interface using Internet Explorer and
select Windows Server from the Administrator Settings
menu.
If you are not using Internet Explorer, you can also open
the Backup Wizard from a Remote Desktop session. Go
to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools >
Backup
Before You Start
Click on the Maintenance tab, then select the Backup link.
Before attempting backup, check in Add/Remove programs that
you have Windows Server 2003 Service Pack installed. Please
ensure that Service Pack 2 is installed on the Content Server
before proceeding with backup.
Start the Backup and Restore Wizard.
security.jsp for instructions on how to install Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 Service Pack 2 on the TANDBERG Content Server.
You will need a USB Hard drive with enough space for all files
to be backed up. Check the total size of the files to be
backed up on your Content Server (in My Computer). You
can also back up to a network location.

About Authentication
Authentication Modes
This section allows you to configure
Local Authentication
authentication modes for the Content Server.
Authentication determines how users log in to the
Content Server and the username and password
that they must use. For more information, see
In local authentication mode, only users with valid local accounts who have been added through the User Management page will be able to log in. Local
authentication can be used if there are not a lot of users using the Content Server, since every account has to be manually set up through the Windows Server
administration menu.
Both LDAP and Domain authentication methods require the details of a Microsoft Active Directory Server to be entered in the Authentication section. At
this time, only Microsoft Active Directory Server is supported by the TANDBERG Content Server.
Clicking on the Save button (see Site Settings) will perform a check of the LDAP server settings as the Content Server attempts to bind to the LDAP
server. Changes to Site Settings will not be saved if the LDAP settings entered are incorrect.
There are three modes of authentication
supported by the Content Server:
• Local
• LDAP
• Domain
Domain Authentication
Domain authentication can only be used if the Content Server has been added to a domain. If you add the Content Server to an existing domain, you need to
define a separate security policy for the Content Server, otherwise the existing security policies may prevent the server from functioning correctly. Please contact
your authorized TANDBERG reseller or partner for details of the recommended security policy settings.
These are each explained in the section that
follows.
Under Domain authentication, users with domain accounts and local users are able to log in. The local administrator account can be used to administer the
server, or some domain users can be given administrative privileges.
Administrators and Owners always need to
authenticate. Users wanting to view conferences
can log in, or they can be given guest access to
view some or all conferences without logging in.
For more information on configuring guest access,
LDAP Authentication
LDAP authentication does not require the Content Server to be added to a domain.
Before changing authentication from local to LDAP, the local administrator must add at least one LDAP user with administrative privileges to the Content Server.
To do this, go to User Management > Add Users and enter at least one valid username in the Add Administrators section.
Under LDAP authentication local users cannot log in using the standard login method. However, the local administrator can log in by adding the following string:
#page:login&rescue:true to the end of the Content Server URL of the browser:
Example: The URL will look something like:
http://<ContentServerIPaddress>/tcs/#page:login&rescue:true
Hit the Enter key on your keyboard and log in with the local administrator account in the resulting pop-up window.
While it is possible for the local administrator to login using this method, it is more convenient to give an LDAP user account administrative privileges.

Server address. Enter the DNS name or IP address
of your LDAP server. Only Microsoft Active Directory
Server is supported for 3.x and 2.x versions of the
Content Server.
User DN. This is the LDAP identifier of the account
in your domain which the Content Server will use to
identify the user who is trying to log in. This account
must have read membership privileges, that is,
privileges to retrieve users’ ‘memberOf’ attributes
from Active Directory using LDAP. You can use an
existing account or create a new special account with
those privileges. This account does not need to be
inside the search tree specified in Base DN.
Port. Port 389 is the default port for most Domain
Controllers. Global Catalog Servers may use port
389 or 3268.
Base DN. This is the search base which the Content
Server uses to search for user records. The Content
Server will search the object specified by the Base
DN (Distinguished Name) and any objects beneath it.
The User DN (Distinguished name) is a unique name
for this account. It consists of:
CN (Common Name) of the special account
•
The Base DN is a unique name for this container. It
consists of OU, CN, and DN components.
OU (Organizational Unit)
•
DC (Domain Object Class)
•
Base DN examples:
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com OU=marketi
ng,OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com
User DN examples: CN=user_account,OU=employee
s,DC=company,DC=com CN=user_account,OU=ma
rketing,DC=company,DC=com
In the examples above, OU ‘marketing’ is
contained within the OU ‘employees’, so
Please note that DNs can have many more than four
parts.
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com will identify
all employees of the company including the
Marketing department, and OU=marketing,OU=empl
oyees,DC=company,DC=com will identify users from
the Marketing department only.
Password. Enter the password for the account
identified above.
Confirm Password. Enter the password again to
verify that it was entered correctly.

API
The TANDBERG Content Server includes
an Application Programmer Interface
(API) which has been designed to
provide mechanisms for external
systems and services to get information
from, and add information to the
TANDBERG Content Server. The External
Management API has been designed
for integration with the TANDBERG
Management Suite (TMS) but may
also be of use with other management
systems.
The API is enabled by default and must
stay enabled in the following cases:
If integration with TMS is required.
•
•
If the API is used for customized
integration with other systems. Refer
to the TANDBERG Content Server API
Documentation for details of available
API calls.
If neither of the cases above applies, the
API can be disabled.
Refer to the TANDBERG Content
Server API Documentation
D1398002, for details of
available API calls.
The default API password at
install is TANDBERG. It is strongly
recommended that you change
this password if you want the
API to remain enabled. If you clear the
password and the password field is
empty, API clients will not receive an
authentication challenge.

Conference Sizes. You can select up to two conference sizes.
Your selection of conference sizes in the Template Editor should
be based on the end-user’s streaming environment and Internet
connection.
Large. If your users have access to a high-speed LAN,
choose ‘Large’. Beware, the bit rate for streaming the
conference will depend on the bandwidth of the call, and
can be as high as 1.76Mbps for a 1920k call. Users on
broadband connections which cannot support this streaming
bit rate will get a very poor streaming experience, with video
buffering, stopping and starting (stuttering). This format also
takes the longest to transcode.
Audio-only. If your users have a very poor quality Internet access,
choose ‘Audio-only’. The average bit rate for streaming the
conference will be around 35 kbps. Audio from the Main source
will be recorded and played back, and if Dual Video is activated
during the call, it will be displayed as still images.
The resolution of the recorded video will depend on the video
format negotiated for the call as well as the call bandwidth,
apart from QCIF calls, which will always get a 160×120
pixels resolution, CIF calls, which get 352×264 pixels and
w288p calls, which get 512×288 pixels.
Small. If your users have 64k modem access, choose ‘Small’. The
average bit rate for streaming the conference will be around 51
kbps.
The resolution of the recorded video in the Switching layout will
be up to 160x120 pixels (for QCIF, CIF, 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls) and
212x120 pixels (for w288p, w448p, w576p, 720p). In the Two
Videos layout, Dual Video will be displayed as still images only.
In the Switching layout, the resolution will be:
480×360 pixels for 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls made at or
below 768k;
•
Medium. If your users have broadband access to the Internet
(around 500kbps), choose ‘Medium’. The bit rate for streaming
the conference will depend on the bandwidth of the call, but will
be capped at 471 kbps. So, for example, a 128k call bandwidth
will result in a 117kbps streaming bit rate for your conference, and
a 384k call bandwidth will result in a 353kbps bit rate. All calls
512K and over will result in a 471kbps bit rate for your streaming
conference.
640×360 pixels for w448p, w576p and 720p calls made
at or below 768k;
•
576×448 pixels for 2.5CIF calls made at or above 1152k;
•
576×448 pixels for 2.5CIF calls made at or above 1152k;
•
768×448 pixels for w448p, w576p and 720p calls made
at or above 1152k.
•
The resolution of the recorded video will depend on the video
format negotiated for the call as well as the call bandwidth,
apart from QCIF calls, which will always get a 160×120 pixels
resolution.
Large and Medium sizes have been designed to
provide the optimum viewing experience based on
adaptive algorithms which are dependent on the video
format negotiated during the call and the bandwidth of the call.
Higher quality inputs with a large amount of data will result in
a high resolution and high streaming bit rate outputs—e.g.
a Large size Windows Media Switching layout template used
in a w576p call made at a bandwidth of 1920k will result in a
768×448 video streaming at a bit rate of 1.76 Mbps. Lower
quality inputs with less data will result in lower resolution and
lower bit rate outputs—e.g. the same Large size template
used in a 384k 4CIF call will result in a 480×360 video
streaming at 353 kbps.
In the Switching layout, the resolution will be:
240×180 pixels for CIF, 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls made at or
below 384k;
•
320×180 pixels for w288p, w448p, w576p, 720p calls made
at or below 384k;
•
320×240 pixels for CIF, 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls made at or
above 512k;
•
424×240 pixels for w288p, w448p, w576p, 720p calls made
at or above 512k.

About Media Servers
The Media Servers Options
Use the Media Servers page to configure
external streaming servers for live streaming
and on demand playback of Windows Media,
MPEG4 and Real Media.
External streaming servers configured here will
be available when you create new templates or
edit existing templates. You can also specify
your configured servers to be the default
servers for new templates.
The TANDBERG Content Server comes with
two preconfigured default media servers which
cannot be edited or deleted:
Local IIS Web Server
Local Windows Media Streaming Server
•
•
Local IIS Web Server. By default, this server is used to
deliver MPEG4 and Real Media for on demand playback as
a progressive download (HTTP or pseudo-streaming). It also
delivers still images, if available. This server cannot be modified
or deleted.
Local Windows Media Streaming Server. By default, this server is used for
streaming Windows Media live and on demand. This server cannot be modified or
deleted, but its properties can be edited and it can be saved as a new server.

Name. Enter a descriptive name for the server.
The server name will be used in a template
when selecting a media server. This field is
required.
The configuration options for your Windows
Media streaming server include live and on
demand streaming.
Live streams can be sent to Windows Media
Player clients using either a unicast or a
multicast connection.
Server Address. Enter the DNS name or the
IP address of the server. Use (local) if it is on
this TANDBERG Content Server. This field is
required.
There are two options for configuring the
Content Server for live multicast delivery:
Support Live Streaming. Select if the server is
to support live streaming. Once selected the
Media Server will be available to choose in the
Live Media Server Settings for templates that
stream Windows Media.
Multicast streaming on a dynamically
•
assigned IP address. The Content Server
will use the first two octets of the IP address
specified in the Destination multicast IP
address of the WMS Multicast Data Writer
properties, but it will dynamically assign
the last two octets, eg. if an IP address like
10.0.1.1 is specified, the Content Server
may use any addresses in the 10.0 range for
multicast streaming.
Advanced Live Multicast Settings. Select if you
would like your multicast content to stream on a
fixed IP address.
Support On Demand. Select if the server is to
support on demand streaming. Once selected
the Media Server will be available to choose
in the On Demand Media Server Settings for
templates that stream Windows Media.
Multicast streaming on a fixed IP address. If
•
a Multicast IP address and port is specified
in the Advanced Live Multicast Settings,
the Content Server will stream to this IP
address.
In multicast delivery, the server sends only one
stream which reaches all player clients at the
same time. There is no additional overhead for
the server regardless of whether one or more
clients are connected.
Unicast is the default live streaming
option for the default Local Windows
Media Streaming Server. Unicast
connections are one-to one connections
between each Windows Media Player client and
the server. Each unicast client that connects to
the server takes up additional bandwidth.
Multicast delivery is generally used for
broadcasting live streams on a corporate
network and will only work if all routers on the
network are multicast enabled.

Adding QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server
Configuration Options
The QuickTime Or Darwin Streaming Server Settings
The Content Server default installation
supports only HTTP-based on demand
streaming of MPEG4 from its local IIS Web
Server. An external media server must be set
up for live unicast and true (RTSP) on-demand
streaming of MPEG4.
SERVER SETTINGS
Name. Enter a descriptive name for the server.
The server name will be used in a template
when selecting a media server. This is a
required field.
Support Live Unicast Streaming. Select if the
server is to support live unicast streaming.
Once selected the Media Server will be
available to choose in the Live Media Server
Settings for templates that stream MPEG4.
Click on the Add QuickTime or Darwin
Streaming Server to configure an external
server for streaming MPEG4 media.
The configuration options for your QuickTime
or Darwin streaming server include live and on
demand streaming.
Support Live Multicast Streaming. Select if
the Media Server is to support live multicast
streaming. Once selected the Media Server will
be available to choose in the Live Media Server
Settings for templates that stream MPEG4.
There are two options for configuring the media
server for live MPEG4 streaming:
Live unicast streaming. This requires an
external QuickTime or Darwin streaming
server to relay streams to clients.
•
Support On Demand. Select if the server is to
support on demand streaming. Once selected
the Media Server will be available to choose
in the On Demand Media Server Settings for
templates that stream MPEG4.
Live multicast streaming. This option
•
requires a Media Server to be set up on
the Content Server but does not require an
external QuickTime or Darwin streaming
server to relay streams to clients - the
multicast stream is sent directly from the
Content Server.
Unicast and On Demand Server Address. Enter
the DNS name or the IP address of the external
streaming server. This is a required field.
In multicast delivery, the server sends only one
stream which reaches all player clients at the
same time. There is no additional overhead for
the server regardless of whether one or more
clients are connected.
Unicast connections are one-to one
connections between each QuickTime
Player client and the server. Each
unicast client that connects to the
server takes up additional bandwidth.
Multicast delivery is generally used for
broadcasting live streams on a corporate
network and will only work if all routers on the
network are multicast enabled.

Streaming port range start. Specify the start
port for your streaming port range, e.g. 30000.
The start port must be an even number. The
Content Server will use the streaming start
port + 30 to be used for streaming live calls,
eg. a port range from 30000 to 30030. Ensure
that you select ports that are NOT being used
by the Content Server (see the Appendix for a

TTL. Choose the multicast time to live (TTL)
threshold. The “multicast TTL” tells the network
how far multicast packets should be allowed
to travel across the network. The default
threshold is LAN (TTL=32). The value “Subnet”
(i.e. TTL=1) means that packets do not pass
the first network router. This setting should
mean a multicast stream is viewable on any
network, even those not enabled for multicast,
where the client is on the same subnet as the
Content Server. The efficacy of higher values
WAN (64), Internet (128), Unrestricted (255)
depends on the configuration of the network
Multicast IP Address. Enter a destination
multicast address. The range of allowable
IP Addresses is from 224.0.0.1 to
239.255.255.255. The multicast address will
depend on the configuration of the network.
Streaming port range start. Enter a port
number for the start of the Live Streaming Port
Range. The port range must be from 10000 to
65000 and must be an even number.

short description of your call configuration
file.
System call configuration cannot be
altered— instead it can be edited
and saved under a new name to allow
changes to be made.
H.239 Capabilities Enabled. H.239
capabilities are enabled by default. If H.239
Dual Video output is not required, this
capability can be disabled.
Non-system call configurations, however,
may be edited.
The Call Configuration Editor Page is
shown here as it looks when the Add Call
Config button has been clicked.

default setting in the Full Call Configuration
template is 0, which means that the call will
never be automatically ended. The default
value for new call configurations is 0.
Audio Algorithm. The administrator can
enable advertising of audio codecs for
each call configuration by selecting the
checkbox. Supported advertised codecs
include G.711, G.722 and G.722.1.

Media Storage Location
About Media Storage Location
The Media Storage Location Information
The default location for your media files is drive
E: on your TANDBERG Content Server. You may
change this location to store files on a Network
Attached Storage (NAS) by using the TCS NAS
Wizard.
The NAS Wizard gives you the ability to store
your media in an external location, which
means that your recording capacity will not
be limited by the disk storage on the Content
Server.
Your media will be recorded to a temporary
directory on the Content Server first, and
then automatically moved to the NAS. Your
conferences will be streamed from the NAS
using the Content Server’s streaming media
server or another external streaming media
server that you specify.
We recommend NAS devices which are built on
the Windows Storage server and are Windows
Hardware Quality Lab certified. The file sharing
protocol used by the Content Server to the NAS
is Microsoft SMB.
Prerequisites
Steps Required for Changing the Media Storage Location
Before you start, make sure that:
To change the media storage location from the default E drive on the Content Server to the NAS:
The Content Server is added to same
•
domain as the NAS (see the section on
Authentication for details on adding the
Content Server to a domain).
To change the media storage location back from the NAS to the default E drive location:
Choose or create an account in the domain
•
under which IIS will run. This domain
account needs to have both administrative
rights on the Content Server and
permissions over the NAS share.

Using TMS to Schedule Calls
About TMS Scheduling
Scheduling Calls with TMS
It is possible to schedule calls to be recorded by the
Content Server through TMS (TANDBERG Management
Suite).
A user who logs in to TMS 11.8 or above
with their user name will see their own
Personal Recording Aliases and any System
Aliases in the Recording List of Aliases.
In order to use TMS to book recordings on the Content
Server, you need to:
This graphic displays the Personal
Recording Alias Ross and the two System
Aliases, 102 Default Live and OnDemand
and 102 Default OnDemand only.
1. Enable the API in
Content Server Site Settings > API
2. Add the Content Server to TMS
TMS 11.8 and above offers full support for
Recurrent meetings.
If the Content Server is registered to a gatekeeper in
Gateway mode, users booking a conference in TMS 11.8
and above can choose from a range of System Aliases
and their Personal Recording Aliases. No further special
configuration is necessary on the Content Server side.
If the Content Server is registered to a gatekeeper in
Terminal mode, only System Aliases and dedicated
Personal Aliases (with the owner set to api-admin) will
be available for recording conferences. See below for
configuration notes.
Graphic shows the user booking a series of
recurrent meetings through TMS.

CreatingaDedicatedTMSAlias
Current meetings that are recorded with the
TANDBERG Content Server will be displayed
in the Live Conferences List when they
are occurring and when completed will be
available from the Recorded Conferences
List.
From the Add Users page on the Content Server, add a new
user with the username api-admin. The user needs to have
Administrator privileges.
Create a new recording alias e.g. TMS Alias, with the owner
set to: api-admin
Do NOT check the System Alias checkbox—the TMS alias
must be a Personal alias.
You need to create 2 live and 3 non-live dedicated TMS-only
Recording Aliases. Only those aliases will be available for
booking by TMS.
For more information on TMS integration, refer to the
TANDBERG Management Suite Administrator Guide or contact
your TANDBERG representative or authorized reseller.
Content Server v.3.0 is backwards
compatible with TMS 11.7 for
booking a Transcoding call, using
a dedicated TMS-only Recording
Alias. Archiving call support is not
available.

About Recording Alias Options
Recording Alias Options and User Privileges
Recording Aliases are used to record
a Conference and they contain all the
relevant information about the Call.
The recording alias options are available from
the Conference Setup menu and only for users
with administrator or owner privileges.
The default TANDBERG Content Server
installation has two default system
aliases available.
By choosing the recording alias options an
administrator will see a screen like the one
shown here.
The two default aliases are:
Default Live and OnDemand
•
•
Default OnDemand only
Multiple concurrent calls can be made
using both those aliases but of the five
concurrent calls, up to two can be live.
For the same aliases, an owner (a user with
privileges to make calls) will see only their
personal alias or aliases, if the administrator
has set them up with owner privileges for an
alias.
The recording alias determines:
The call type—live or on demand.
•
•
The outputs, based on the recording
template and call configuration
specified in the alias.
Access to the live and recorded
conference.
•
Conference password (optional).
•
Another owner (a user with privileges to
make calls) may see no aliases at all, if the
administrator has not set them up with owner
privileges for an alias.
All conference metadata, such as
name, description, speaker, location,
copyright and category specified in the
alias will be automatically applied to the
conference and can be edited before the
call is placed and also after the call has
finished.
Calls made with the same alias will have
the same default settings, but different
conference URLs.
Aliases can be sorted according to their column
title in both ascending and descending order.
The number of aliases displayed on a page can
be 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100.
Navigating between pages is consistent with the
view conference screens.

The Video Display
The Video Display Sizes
Examples of Video Display Sizes
The Conference is displayed in a window
scaled for the size, conference format and
items in the conference. A Conference that has
indexes and dual with the main video will be
displayed differently to a conference that has
just one video output.
There Are Two Ways to View a Video
1. The whole video is downloaded to your
computer before it can be viewed (pseudo-
streaming)
A white line in the Play Progress Bar shows
you the download progress. When the video
has completely downloaded, it is ready for
you to play by moving the slider or clicking
on any of the Conference Indexes.
Different Layouts and Screen Sizes
Change the size of the display by maximising
the window, or by dragging the window
manually using the control at the bottom right
of the window. The conference will adjust to a
“best fit” for the size of the window.
You can still start playing the video before it
is completely downloaded but you can only
move the slider to any position within the
white line.
2. The video is streamed (true streaming)
The white line will not be displayed in this
case.
You can move the slider to any part of the
video to view it. The video will stop, load the
requested part of the video to your browser
(called ‘buffering’) and then begin playing.
You can also click on an item in the Index to
view the video from that location
