About the External Manager

An External Manager is a remote system, such as the TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS), used to monitor events occurring on the VCS, for example call attempts, connections and disconnections.

The use of an External Manager is optional.

In order to use an External Manager, you must configure the VCS with the IP address or host name and path of the External Manager to be used.

If you are using TMS as your external manager, use the default path of tms/public/ external/management/ SystemManagementService.asmx.
