The TANDBERG VCS
TANDBERG VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
What’s New in this Version?
The following features have been introduced in version X3.0 of the VCS software:
Presence
Two new presence services are now supported: Presence Server and Presence User Agent.
Presence Server
•complies with IETF’s
•supports PUBLISH, SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY messages
•includes a Presence Server database
•aggregates a user’s presence information from various devices using FindMe™.
Presence User Agent
•Publishes presence information on behalf of devices that are registered to the VCS, including those that do not support IETF
Presence.
Scalable Deployments
A VCS can be part of a Cluster of up to six identically configured VCSs, enabling the systems to work together as one large Local Zone. This allows you to:
•increase the capacity of your VCS deployment compared with a single VCS
•provide redundancy in the rare case that a VCS becomes unavailable (for example, due to a network or power outage).
Clusters must use TMS version 12.0 and above to ensure they are configured identically.
Multiple Web Accounts
This feature allows up to 15 additional administration accounts to be created. Each administration account can be assigned either “Read Only” access, meaning they can view but not change configuration, or “Read Write” access, enabling them to modify the configuration of the VCS.
In order to track the activities of users, the VCS now also includes a Configuration Log which shows all web login attempts for administrators and Findme users (both failed and successful), and all changes to the VCS configuration made via the web UI including the name of the user who made the change.
Intelligent Route Director
The addition of Local Zone matches to the zone search process means that it is now possible to configure the VCS so that a call can be routed to a specific zone (including the Local Zone) depending on a
H.323 version 6
TANDBERG VCS now supports H.323 version 6.
Microsoft OCS 2007 Interworking
Additional advanced zone configuration options have been included to allow calls to be made between Microsoft OCS 2007 clients and devices registered to the VCS. These options also allow Microsoft OCS clients to view basic presence information of endpoints registered to the VCS.
Backup and Restore
The Backup and Restore feature allows you to create a file containing the configuration of your VCS at a particular date and time. You can then use this file at a later date to return the VCS to that state of configuration.
Pre-Connect Transfer
To compliment support for the call forward (before and after answer) and the call hold facilities available in SIP, the VCS now interworks these supplementary services into the H.323 protocol using
SNMP Enhancements
The VCS now supports SNMP v2
