<a href="..."> is also supported, but the URL
can only contain A-Z 0-9, dot, "?" "=" and "%";
note that the URL is relative to the current

http:// if you want to refer to an external site.
The following options apply when FindMe mode is Remote service:
Field Description
Protocol The protocol used to connect to the remote service.
Address The IP address or domain name of the remote service.
Path The URL of the remote service.
Username The username used by the VCS to log in and query the remote service.
Password The password used by the VCS to log in and query the remote service.
If the Starter Pack option key is installed the Presence Server and FindMe are automatically enabled.
FindMe database modes
VCS version X7.1 supports two modes for storing FindMe data:
TMS Agent mode: this uses the legacy TMS Agent database to store FindMe data and to share it across
n
all peers in a VCS cluster and with TMS (if used). This is the mode used by earlier versions of VCS (and
TMS).
VCS local database mode: this uses the VCS's local database (instead of the TMS Agent database) to
n
store FindMe data and share it across all peers in a VCS cluster. (Note that this data is not shared with
TMS. To use, or to continue to use, TMS to manage FindMe data you must configure the VCS to use the
TMS Provisioning Extension services.)
Recommendations for switching FindMe database modes:
If you use FindMe without TMS (known as "standalone FindMe") you are recommended to switch from
n
using the TMS Agent to using the VCS's local database for storing FindMe data as soon as is practicable.

Usage tips
It can be used to provide information about
how to format the device address or number,
for example any dial prefixes that must be
included.
An example message could be:
Phone numbers: use the prefix
<b>9</b>
Endpoints: use the suffix
<b>@video.test.com</b>
This setting does not apply if users configure
their FindMe settings via TMS (when VCS
and TMS are running in TMS Provisioning
Extension mode).
