D14049.04
JULY 2008
Grey Headline (continued)
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 SIP-based SIMPLE protocol
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 congured
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 congured 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
conguration, or “Read Write” access, enabling them to modify
the conguration of the VCS.
In order to track the activities of users, the VCS now also
includes a Conguration Log which shows all web login attempts
for administrators and Findme users (both failed and successful),
and all changes to the VCS conguration 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 congure the VCS so that a
call can be routed to a specic zone (including the Local Zone)
depending on a pre-dened set of priorities and bandwidth
policies. This feature enables, for example, the VCS to be
congured to overow calls from an IP zone to an ISDN gateway
registered on the local zone.
H.323 version 6
TANDBERG VCS now supports H.323 version 6.
Microsoft OCS 2007 Interworking
Additional advanced zone conguration 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 le
containing the conguration of your VCS at a particular date and
time. You can then use this le at a later date to return the VCS
to that state of conguration.
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 standards-based Facility messages.
SNMP Enhancements
The VCS now supports SNMP v2 MIB-II and Net-SNMP MIB.
