TMS scheduling systems through MCU and not via Multisite

[Danny Meyer]

Hi.

Can somebody advise me, what I need to do to avoid that TMS is using multisite instead of an MCU when doing a schedule?

Whenever a system is included in the partiicpants list that has a multisite key installed, the scheduler does not select the MCU automatically as it would with other devices.

Is there a way to force TMS to use the nice MCU instead of the local C40? I would like to keep the multisite key installed.

Thanks and regards

TMS; Admin Tools/Configuration/Conference Settings/Advanced Conference Options/External MCU Usage in Routing

Set this to "Always, except point-to-point"

You can also try turning off Multipoint mode:

Using CLI:

xConfiguration Conference [1..1] IncomingMultisiteCall Mode:

xConfiguration Conference [1..1] Multipoint Mode:

or you can do it through the web gui under Configuration/System Configuration/Conference 1

Check the "External MCU Usage in Routing" setting under Administrative Tools > Configuration > Conference Settings.

It specifies whether Cisco TMS will use an external MCU when booking a conference.

• Only if needed - Prefer the embedded MCU on the endpoint if available.
• Always, except point to point - Always use an external MCU, except for point to point calls.
• Always - Always use an external MCU, including point to point calls.

Hi Thomas.

Thanks for this advice. That was indeed the right solution. I prefer it over disabling the MS option.

Just checked it and it works fine.

Cheers
