Cisco TelePresence Content Server Release 7.0 Quick Start Guide

 

  Additional Content Server Setup

Configuration categories

You can assign Recordings a display category to help users find them. For example, the marketing 
department can have a category for use with all marketing recordings. In the 

Management

 tab, go to 

Recording setup > Categories

.

Configuring recording aliases

The server is preconfigured with a number of default Recording aliases. Each Recording alias has an 
H.323 ID, E.164 alias and/or SIP URI that can be dialed to record a call or conference. In the 

Management

 tab, go to 

Recording setup > Recording aliases

.

Selecting the recording alias system default

When the system H.323 ID, E.164 alias, SIP URI or server IP address is called, the Default Recording 
alias is used. You can set the Default Recording alias in the System defaults section of 

Site settings

.

Configuring TMS to use the Content Server

The Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) can be used to record scheduled one-off or recurrent 
conferences. See the 

Cisco TelePresence Content Server Administration and User Guide

 and all TMS 

documentation for this release on Cisco.com.

Backing up

We recommend that you back up the server regularly and also before system upgrades. For more 
information on backup, see the 

Cisco TelePresence Content Server Administration and User Guide

 for 

this release on Cisco.com.

Using a Networked Attached Storage device (NAS)

The default location for media files is drive E:. You can change this location to store files on a Network 
Attached Storage (NAS) device. Using an NAS device ensures that the recording capacity is not limited 
by the disk space on the server. For more information about NAS, see the 

Cisco TelePresence Content 

Server Administration and User Guide

 for this release on Cisco.com.

Clustering Content Servers

Up to ten Content Servers can be clustered to increase the total call capacity and improve redundancy 
and resilience. For more information about system requirements, set up and management of a Content 
Server cluster, see the 

Cisco TelePresence Content Server Administration and User Guide

 for this release 

on Cisco.com
