Installation and Usage

D3562 Rev.2

This document is not to be reproduced in whole 

or in part without permission in writing from:

TANDBERG  offers  an  optional  component  to  fully  integrate  the 

TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) with Microsoft Exchange and 

Outlook. This integration gives the users the ability to schedule vide-

oconferences, book meeting rooms and invite participants using their 

Microsoft Outlook client. 

The videoconferencing systems are registered as resources in Ex-

change, allowing end users to view their availability when making 

the booking.

Functional overview

The integration requires a software component to be installed on the 

Microsoft Exchange server. 
Note that there is no need to update any of the Microsoft Outlook 

clients. 
In a front-end/back-end server scenario, the integration should be 

installed on a back-end server.
Please see 

www.microsoft.com 

for more information about Microsoft 

Exchange.
