Configuring external manager settings
The External manager page (System > External manager) is used to configure the VCS's connection to
an external management system.
An external manager is a remote system, such as the Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (Cisco TMS),
used to monitor events occurring on the VCS, for example call attempts, connections and disconnections,
and as a place for where the VCS can send alarm information. The use of an external manager is optional.
Field Description Usage tips
Address
and path
To use an external manager,
you must configure the VCS
with the IP address or host
name and path of the external
manager to be used.
If you are using Cisco TMS as your external manager, use the
default path of tms/public/external/management/
SystemManagementService.asmx.
Protocol Determines whether
communications with the
external manager are over
HTTP or HTTPS. The default
is HTTPS.
Certificate
verification
mode
Controls whether the
certificate presented by the
external manager is verified.
If you enable verification, you must also add the certificate of the
issuer of the external manager's certificate to the file containing the
VCS's trusted CA certificates. This is done from the Managing the
trusted CA certificate list [p.285] page (Maintenance > Security
certificates > Trusted CA certificate).
Note that:
n the VCS will continue to operate without loss of service if its connection to Cisco TMS fails. This applies
even if the VCSs are clustered. No specific actions are required as the VCS and Cisco TMS will
automatically start communicating with each other again after the connection is re-established.
n Cisco TMS identifies the VCS as a "TANDBERG VCS".
