Using the TANDBERG Form
When using the standard Outlook Appointment forms, meetings created using Outlook will be booked
in Cisco TMS using the conferencing defaults defined by the administrator. Conference settings such
as bandwidth, encryption, and call setup type will use the default values defined in Cisco TMS. Cisco
TMS’s call routing logic will automatically handle assigning MCUs, protocols, and gateways as
required. This frees users from having to worry about technical details.
If the administrator has made it available, the TANDBERG custom form replaces the standard Outlook
Appointment form and adds a new TANDBERG tab to the meeting entry. This tab allows additional
functionality beyond the standard form including the ability to override the conference defaults and
invite external video or audio participants to the conference.
To use the form, select the TANDBERG tab in the calendar entry and make changes as desired. Any
values left as Default will use the default setting as defined in Cisco TMS by the administrator. An
existing meeting can be edited with changes on the TANDBERG tab. Be sure to use the Send
Update button when saving changes to an existing meeting.
