Using TMS to schedule conferences to be recorded on the Content Server
TANDBERG recommends that you use the TANDBERG Management System (TMS) for scheduled calls that you want to record with the Content Server. This is because TMS is aware of the Content Server's capabilities so that resource conflicts are resolved at the time of the booking. This is in contrast to ad hoc calls, either calling out to an endpoint or calls in to the Content Server: there is no guarantee that those calls will be connected; it depends on the number and type of calls happening when you place the call. Therefore, TANDBERG recommends that a Content Server which is managed by TMS should not be used for ad hoc calls.
