Note: The Cisco TMS Agent application does not use the fully qualified DNS hostname configured

here, although they may/could be the same in a single Cisco TMS environment (recommended). The

Cisco TMS Agent uses the actual local hostname of the Cisco TMS server and this must match the

DNS A record for the Cisco TMS Agent. In a Cisco TMS redundant setup, the fully qualified DNS

hostname configured here must be unique and resolvable to reflect the Cisco TMS redundancy; that

is, resolvable to the network load balancer. However, DNS records for each particular redundant

Cisco TMS (local hostname) will also need to be created so that the Cisco TMS Agent can resolve

and thereby replicate between the TMSs appropriately.

TMS Server Address (Fully Qualified Host Name or IPv4 Address) – Public or Behind the

Firewall respectively - This must be the fully qualified DNS hostname used to access your

Cisco TMS server from an outside network if that is different from the local hostname. This setting

must be configured to use features such as SOHO/Behind Firewall support. If the server has no

hostname that is usable, enter the IP address that systems would use to reach Cisco TMS.

Automatic Software Update – This functionality allows Cisco TMS to automatically check for

new software available for your systems over a secure link, and to notify you of your Service

Contract status for your Cisco TelePresence Systems. No personal information is sent during this

communication except the system identification information such as serial numbers and hardware

identifiers. If you do not wish to have Cisco TMS check for software, you can disable this feature.

If your network requires a web proxy to reach the internet, configure its properties here.

Secure-Only Device Communication – This setting is disabled by default and only be enabled

in specific instances. See the

Cisco TMS installation media for more information.

Significant Administrative Tools > E-Mail Settings were configured during the Cisco TMS

installation. However, if your mail server requires SMTP Auth to be able to send email, configure an

appropriate username and password here. The settings are tested when you click Save to ensure that

they are valid.

Significant Administrative Tools > Conference Settings settings control most of the Cisco TMS

behavior for scheduled calls and for monitoring of active calls. Significant settings are:

Default Bandwidth – The default bandwidth suggested for H.323 and SIP calls in Cisco TMS

Scheduling.

Default ISDN Bandwidth – The default bandwidth suggested for ISDN calls in Cisco TMS

Scheduling

Set Conferences as Secure by Default – Cisco TMS can work with systems that support

encryption and those that do not. This setting controls the default behavior for Scheduled

Conferences. 'If Possible' is the default setting and enables encryption when all systems in a call

support it.
