Introduction
About the TANDBERG Video Communication Server
The TANDBERG Video Communication Server (VCS) is a key component of your video communications network. It allows you to
manage endpoint registrations and calls, and control the bandwidth being used within your network. The VCS also offers advanced
call policy that allows you to accept, reject and re-route calls, and can optionally include TANDBERG's FindMe™, which allows users to
have a single alias on which they can be contacted regardless of location,
The VCS forms part of TANDBERG's Expressway™ firewall traversal solution, allowing you to securely connect to other video networks
and equipment from your secured private network.
The VCS also acts as a gateway between SIP and H.323 protocols, and between IPv4 and IPv6, allowing you to make the most use of
your existing video communications investment.

This Administrator Guide is provided to help you make the best
use of your TANDBERG VCS.
Your approach to this documentation depends on what you
want to do and how much you already know.
The Administrator Guide has been divided into several
sections, each providing different information. In some places
information is duplicated between sections to let you have all
the relevant information in one place.
This document does not have an index - this is intentional. If
the Table of Contents does not direct you to the information you
need, you can use the Find function in Adobe Reader to search
the text for keywords.
Note that the Administrator Guide describes a fully equipped
version. Your version may not have all the described extensions
installed.
Our main objective with this Guide is to address your goals and
needs. Please let us know how well we succeeded!
