10 TANDBERG Management Suite and Cisco CallManager
TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) is a web-based management system primarily used for
controlling, scheduling, upgrading and maintaining H.323 and H.320 units. However, with TMS 11, TMS
is now capable of supporting upgrades of the TANDBERG MXP endpoints for Cisco CallManager. In a
Cisco CallManager environment the CallManager manages all the SCCP endpoints. The CallManager
uses TFTP to upgrade the SCCP endpoints; the TANDBERG MXP systems for CallManager do not
support upgrade over TFTP and can therefore not be upgraded via the Cisco CallManager, thereby
creating a void between the video systems and the IP telephones located in an enterprise; TMS fills this
void.
Note: TMS has a scheduling function that makes it possible to schedule calls from TANDBERG H.323
devices TMS do not support scheduling of SCCP units, but it is possible to include them in a scheduled
call from a TANDBERG H.323 device.
11 Summary
This document described how to configure the CallManager for registration of TANDBERG MXP
endpoints for Cisco CallManager, and what software is needed on the CallManager to be able to do this. It
also described how to register a TANDBERG H.323 endpoint to the Cisco CallManager.
Registering the TANDBERG H.323 endpoint to the CallManager will give several limitations compared
to TANDBERG H.323 endpoints that is registered to a Gatekeeper, the reason for this is that the
CallManager only supports for H.323 version 2. In a call between two H.323 units this will cause some of
the H.323 version 4 and 5 features to fail. To be able to keep all the H.323 features in a call between two
H.323 endpoints and still be able to place calls between a SCCP unit and a H.323 unit you have to register
all the H.323 units to a Gatekeeper and make link between the H.323 network and the SCCP network.
This document showed you how to do this by configuring the CallManager with an H.225 trunk and
registering it to a Gatekeeper.
Once the CallManager has registered a trunk to the Gatekeeper it will be possible to place calls between
all the TANDBERG H.323 units and the units in the CallManager Network, this means that the SCCP
endpoint can use several of the recourses on the H.323 network. In this document it has been described
how to configure the network to allow a SCCP endpoint to use resources on the TANDBERG Gateway,
TANDBERG MPS, TANDBERG MCU and the TANDBERG Expressway solution.
The last chapter in this document provided information on management of units on these two networks,
there are no software that can manage both the SCCP network and the H.323 network so the
recommendation is to use TMS to manage the H.323 equipment and use the Cisco CallManager to manage
the SCCP equipment.
