6. Do not modify the remaining fields. Click
Save and Close
to save your changes. Repeat these
steps for each Cisco TMS system you wish to represent in Notes.
Starting the Synchronizer
After all the resources have been added to the resource database, the synchronizer process must be
started by going to
Actions > Run synchronizer
. This is a one-time step and does not need to be
repeated even if additional resources are added at a later time.
Updating the Mail Template for Notes Users
Video booking functionality can be offered to Lotus Notes users in several ways.
Use of an existing mail template without modification.
Adding the additional video conference functionality to the existing mail template
Pushing the provided TMS-modified standard mail template. This file is called tmsmail7.ntf for
Notes 7.0.x and 8.0.x users, and tmsmail85.ntf for Notes 8.5.x users.
The first method allows users to book rooms, but they will not have any of the additional functionality,
for example being able to set conference parameters or specific additional sites such as external dial-
in or dial-out sites.
The second method may be required if the organization is already using a customized mail template.
The last method is the recommended method because it provides the most video options to users in
the standard Lotus Notes mail format. The mail template that users use can be updated in several
ways, but one method is as follows:
1. Open Domino Administrator and select the Server containing the mail files of the user to be
updated.
2. Select the
Files
tab and then the mail folder.
3. Select the user to be updated.
4. Go to
File > Application
> Replace Design…
5. Select the server on which the Cisco TMS templates were installed and then select TMS Mail (7
for Notes 7.0.x/8.0.x, and 8.5 for Notes 8.5.x) and click
Replace
.
