Compatibility of SX80 and TMS

[Ernie Tsang]

Dear all,

I would like like to know if there is any interoperability issue in TMS (13.2.2) with SX80 (TC7.3.3)? As the release notes of TC7 doesn't mention about TMS. 

Is there any requirement for the TMS version of using TC7.3.3 endpoints?

Or if we are not able to upgrade the TMS, what is the best version of SX80 should be use with TMS 13.2.2? Thank you.

The SX80 isn't officially supported in TMS until version 14.4.  The SX80 "might" work with TMS 13.2, however you could run into some issues, though I can't name any.

Why aren't you able to upgrade TMS, is there any particular reason you can't upgrade?

Thanks for your reply!

Our client advises that they couldn't perform upgrade from 13.2.2 to 14.1 before due to SQL version issue, so they would prefer remain the TMS version to avoid any problem...

As long as your customer is aware that TMS 13.x is a product that goes end of maintenance on 16 December 2015 (ie, in 2 months time) and completely end of support on 31 December 2017.  See the EoS and EoL notice: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/conferencing/telepresence-management-suite-tms/eos-eol-notice-c51-732093.html

TMS 14.x goes end of sale on 1 March 2016, so, if you have the opportunity to upgrade, it's probably best to skip that release and go straight to the current TMS release (at the date of this reply, TMS 15.0.1), especially to support the newer devices.
