Finding the Information You Need
Thank you for choosing TANDBERG! The Content Server has been designed to provide
you with many years of safe, reliable operation.
Your approach to the Content Server documentation depends on what you want to do
and how much you already know.
The User Guide has been divided into several sections – each providing different
information. In some places information has been copied from other sections to let
you have all the relevant information there and then in order to avoid unnecessary
“page-riding”.
Note that the User Guide describes a fully equipped version. Your version may not
have all the described extensions installed.
Our main objective with this User Guide was to address your goals and needs. Please
let us know how well we succeeded!
We recommend that you check the
TANDBERG web site regularly for updated
versions of this manual:

in pollution, and thereby helps save the environment. Our
products reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby
reduce pollution. Our products have either none or few
consumable parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper). Our products

TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy
Environmental stewardship is important to TANDBERG’s culture.
As a global company with strong corporate values, TANDBERG
is committed to following international environmental legislation
and designing technologies that help companies, individuals and
communities creatively address environmental challenges.
TANDBERG’s environmental objectives are to:
Develop products that reduce energy consumption, CO2
emissions, and traffic congestion
Provide products and services that improve quality of life for
our customers
Produce products that can be recycled or disposed of safely
at the end of product life
Comply with all relevant environmental legislation.

European Environmental Directives
As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment
TANDBERG is responsible for compliance with the requirements
in the European Directives 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and 2002/95/EC
(RoHS).
The primary aim of the WEEE Directive and RoHS Directive is
to reduce the impact of disposal of electrical and electronic
equipment at end- of-life. The WEEE Directive aims to reduce
the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration
by requiring producers to arrange for collection and recycling.
The RoHS Directive bans the use of cer tain heavy metals and
brominated flame retardants to reduce the environmental impact
of WEEE which is landfilled or incinerated.
TANDBERG has implemented necessary process changes to
comply with the European RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) and the
European WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC).
Waste Handling
In order to avoid the dissemination of hazardous
substances in our environment and to diminish the
pressure on natural resources, we encourage you to
use the appropriate take-back systems in your area.
Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the
materials of your end of life equipment in a sound
way.
TANDBERG products put on the market after August 2005 are
marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin symbol that invites you to
use those take-back systems.
Please contact your local supplier, the regional waste
administration or http://www.tandberg.net/recycling if you need
more information on the collection and recycling system in your
area.
Information for Recyclers
As part of compliance with the European WEEE Directive,
TANDBERG provides recycling information on request for all
types of new equipment put on the market in Europe after
August 13th 2005.
Please contact TANDBERG and provide the following details
for the product for which you would like to receive recycling
information:
Model number of TANDBERG product
Your company’s name
Contact name
Address
Telephone number
E-mail.
Digital User Guides
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that we have replaced the
printed versions of our User Guides with a digital CD version.
Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one
CD – which can be used with all TANDBERG products – in a
variety of languages. The environmental benefits of this are
significant. The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper
are huge. A simple web-based search feature helps you directly
access the information you need. In addition, the TANDBERG
video systems now have an intuitive on-screen help function,
which provides a range of useful features and tips. The contents
of the CD can still be printed locally, whenever needed.

The Quick Setup section will help you get your Content Server online
and operational quickly. It provides a step-by-step guide to the basic
H.323 services setup via the Content Server web interface as well as
a description of the optional QuickTime installation. The latter should
be installed only if strictly needed and we ask you to take care so
that you install the correct version. Please note that as a security
precaution, you should change the administrative password at setup
time and before the Content Server is used in production.
We recommend that you check the

Quick Setup
About Basic H.323 Services
A quick basic setup of your TANDBERG
Content Server includes:
Setting up H.323 services via the Content
Server interface
Making a test call recording
Changing the administrator password and
setting up server date and time on the
Windows Server.
In addition there is an optional QuickTime
Installation available. This installation is only
needed if you require calls to be recorded and
streamed in the QuickTime® format.

Start a Web browser and enter the IP
address of the Content Server. You
can use either http or https, with
https recommended for administrative
access.
When prompted for login, enter the
username administrator and
password.
Go to Conference Setup> Recording
Alias Options. Edit the E.164 aliases
and H323 IDs for the default Recording
Aliases and save.
Go to the Administrator Settings > Site
Settings to set the System Name and
E.164 alias for the Content Server.
If required, set Gatekeeper registra-
tion to Enabled, select Gatekeeper
Discovery method (Auto or Manual)
and set the Gatekeeper IP address.
You can choose to register the Content
Server as a Terminal or a Gateway. If you
select Gateway registration, you will
need to enter H.323 and E.164 Gateway
prefixes.
Save the Site Settings. You may refresh
the browser page to check if gatekeeper
registration has been successful.
For more on setting the administrative
properties and user configuration, see
the Administrator Settings section.
The default local administrator account
should be used for administrative
functions such as system upgrades
and updates and when using Remote Desktop
access to the Content Server. It is therefore
very important to change your password as
described in the Windows Server Setup section.
If you will be recording calls in two
formats only – Windows Media and
Real Media formats, you do NOT need
to install QuickTime on the server.
!
You can register the Content Server with
either Gatekeeper or Border Controller.
For simplicity in this User guide we’ll use
‘gatekeeper’ to refer to either device.
Make sure that the E.164 aliases and
H.323 IDs are valid for your Gatekeeper or Border Controller.

selected for your alias has a live
stream output, you can watch the
streaming call in Live Conferences.
Please note that by default, the
Content Server has live streaming
enabled for templates using Windows
Media only. QuickTime Player has to
be installed on the Content Server
before the QuickTime format can be
used. Templates using Real Media and
QuickTime will display ‘Recording in
progress’in Live Conferences view and
can only be viewed on demand, unless
you configure templates to use external
streaming servers.
You can end the call from the Edit link in
Live Conferences, or from the endpoint
you dialled.
If the recording template you have
selected for your alias has on demand
output, you can watch the on demand
recording in Recorded Conferences.

Optional Installation – Only If Strictly Needed!
Optional QuickTime Installation is only
needed if you require calls to be recorded and
streamed in the QuickTime® format.
If you will be recording calls in two formats
only – Windows Media and Real Media
formats, you do NOT need to install QuickTime
on the server.
QuickTime can be installed and enabled
on the Content Server at any time, so you
can defer this installation until (and if) it is
required.
The Content Server ships with QuickTime
support turned of f by default. Do not enable
the QuickTime codec in the Codec Support
settings unless QuickTime has been manually
installed on the Content Server.
Due to an incompatibility between QuickTime
Player versions 7.1 or higher and a critical
Windows Server security update (MS06-015),
only QuickTime Player version 7.0.4.0 should
be installed on the Content Server.
At the time of publishing this user guide,
the standalone installer for this version was
available from http://www.apple.com/
Select QuickTime Templates for use
with your Recording Aliases to take
advantage of the QuickTime output
functionality and record your content for on
demand QuickTime playback.
ExamplE:
Select QuickTime 2xStreams High with Dual - QTDblHighDual.xml * from the drop-down menu in
the Settings section of Recording Alias Options for
a Transcoding template. Click Save.
Select QuickTime Archiving Single Stream
QT-MOVStd.xml* from the drop-down menu in
Settings section of Recording Alias Options for
an Archiving template. Click Save.
Optional QuickTime Installation
Quick Setup
Remote desktop to the IP address of
the Content Server.
Log in as an administrator.
Use a Web Browser to navigate to the
following download site to download
Apple QuickTime player version 7.0.4.0:
http://www.apple.com/support/
downloads/quicktime704.html.
Due to the enhanced security
configuration enabled for the Internet
Explorer browser on the Content Server,
you will be required to add this web page
to the server’s trusted sites (deselect
the Require Server verification https
for all sites in this zone checkbox). An
alternative would be to download the
QuickTime installer to your desktop
machine and then copy it to the server’s
Remote Desktop.
Run the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file.
Click on Finish when the installation has
been completed.
Follow the installation prompts.
Log off to terminate the remote desktop
connection.
Log in to the Content Server web interface
as an administrator.
In Administrator Tools
> Site Settings, enable
QuickTime in the Site
Codec Support section
and click Save.
Install Only If Strictly Needed!

About Restoring to Factory Settings
Restoring to Factory Settings
The administrator can restore the Content
Server to factory settings partially or fully via
the LCD panel.
A partial restore to factory settings – Config
Restore - restores the factory configuration
files and templates, but does NOT affect the
content stored on the server.
A full restore to factory settings – Full Restore
– removes content and deletes all media files
in addition to restoring the factory configuration files and templates.
Restoring to factory command in v.2.0
will restore the Content Server to v.2.0
defaults, but it will also remove any
configurations specific to v.1.x, if the Content
Server has been upgraded to v2.0 from v1.x!

Deletes all user-created Recording Aliases, Call
Configuration files and Recording Templates
and restores them to v.2.0 defaults.
Full Restore
Deletes all user-created Recording Aliases, Call
