TMS 14.2, TMSPE 1.1, and TMSXE 3.1 released

Hi all,

We have three releases in the TMS family today:

Cisco TelePresence Management Suite 14.2

Software location: http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?i=!y&mdfid=283613664&softwareid=280886992&release=14.2&os=

Release notes: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/infrastructure/tms/release_note/Cisco_TMS_Release_Note_14-2.pdf

There are three main new features in TMS 14.2:

  • Support for WebEx Enabled TelePresence (formerly known as WebEx OneTouch 2.0). You can now schedule video meetings in TMS that include both TelePresence and WebEx participants.
  • Time zone awareness for all booking-related functionality. As some of you probably know, earlier TMS versions had limited time zone support so that some recurrent bookings were persisted wrong, especially bookings crossing Daylight Saving Time changes. These problems should now be a thing of the past.
  • New email templates: These have images, clickable links and a more intuitive layout.

Please see the release notes for a full list of other features, changes and bug fixes. Note that the old legacy TMS Scheduler has been removed from TMS 14.2.

Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Provisioning Extension 1.1

Software location: http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?i=!y&mdfid=284330317&softwareid=280886992&release=1.1&os=

Release notes: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/infrastructure/tmspe/release_note/Cisco_TMSPE_release_notes_1-1.pdf

There are two main new features in TMSPE 1.1.:

  • A new Smart Scheduler, replacing the now discontinued TMS Scheduler. The Smart Scheduler is a major improvement in terms of usability and cross platform support. It also supports WebEx Enabled TelePresence.
  • A redesigned FindMe portal.

Please see the release notes for a full list of other features, changes and bug fixes.

TMSPE 1.1 requires TMS 14.2.

Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Extension for Microsoft Exchange 3.1

Software location: http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?i=!y&mdfid=283694653&softwareid=280886992&release=3.1&os=

Release notes: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/infrastructure/tmsxe/release_note/Cisco_TMSXE_release_notes_3-1.pdf

There is one main new feature:

  • Support for WebEx Enabled TelePresence, including a booking service that acts as a proxy for WebEx Productivity Tools.

Please see the release notes for a full list of other features, changes and bug fixes. All customers are strongly advised to upgrade to TMSXE 3.1.

TMSXE 3.1 requires TMS 14.2. Note that migration from TMSXE 2.x (TCX) no longer is supported.

We have upgraded to TMS 14.2 and no loger have TMS Scheduler as an option.  Is it totally gone now and Smart Scheduler is the only option?  We do not have TMSPE but do we need it if we only want the Smart Scheduler?

According to the TMS release notes, it requires the installation of TMSPE, which is it a part of.

This release removes the TMS Scheduler from Cisco TMS.

The new Smart Scheduler has been introduced to replace it, available free as part of the Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Provisioning Extension (Cisco TMSPE). See the Cisco TMSPE Release Notes for further details.

I haven't tried to install TMSPE without an provisioning options installed on a TMS, but in theory it should work if all you want is the new Smart Scheduler.

Thanks Patrick.  Do you know if TMSPE is a free extension?

I know it requires a TMS option key to be installed in TMS to use provisioning, however I can't say for certain if you can install it and simply use the Smart Scheduler without the need of the provisioning side of the extenstion.  That would be something more for someone like Kjetil to answer, rr if you have a test environment, you could test it yourself.

Hi,

The device provisioning part of TMSPE requires a license key, the Smart Scheduler part does not.

Regards,

Kjetil
