Environmental Issues
TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
Thank you for buying a product which contributes to a reduction 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 are low energy
consuming products.
TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy
Environmental stewardship is impor tant to TANDBERG’s culture.
As a global company with strong corporate values, TANDBERG
is commit ted 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, CO
•
emissions, and traf fic 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 landf illed or incinerated.
TANDBERG has implemented necessar y 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 13 August
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.
An important section covering the rst time installation of the
Content Server. Observe that for security reasons we strongly
recommend that you change the IP address from DHCP to
static as soon as the unit is in production.

Basic H.323 Services Setup via Content Server Interface—Step 1
!
Initial SetupAbout Basic H.323 Services
TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
A quick basic setup of your TANDBERG Content
Server includes:
Setting up H.323 services via the Content 1.
Server inter face.
Making a test call recording.2.
Changing the administrator password and 3.
setting up server date and time on the
Windows Server.
Make sure that the E.164 aliases and H.323
IDs unique on your net work are valid for
your gatekeeper or border controller.
By default, the Content Server’s H.323
ID is set to the machine name, eg.
TANDBERG -<random number>. The H.323 ID of
a live Recording Alias is set to Live<machine_
name> and the H.323 ID of an on demand
Recording Alias is set to OnDemand<machine_
name>. If upgrading from S2, the machine
name will be replaced by the serial number.
You can register the Content Server with
either gatekeeper or border controller.
For simplicity in this document we’ll use
gatekeeper to refer to either device.
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 Ser ver Setup section.
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.
Go to the Administrator Settings > Site
Settings to set the System Name for the
Content Server.
Note: The System Name is used by TMS
to identify the Content Server.
When prompted for login, enter the
username administrator and
password TANDBERG
If required, set Gatekeeper registration
to Enabled 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.
Go to Conference Setup > Recording
Alias Options. Edit the E.164 aliases
and H323 IDs for the default Recording
Aliases and save.
Save the Site Settings. You may refresh
the browser page to check if gatekeeper
registration has been successful.

If the recording alias you have selected
has a live stream output, you can watch
the streaming call in Live Conferences.
Calls made with aliases which have
no live streaming outputs will not be
available for viewing until the call has
finished and the recording has been
transcoded.
Go to Conference Setup > Create
Conference.
You can end the call from the Edit link in
Live Conferences, or from the endpoint
you dialed.
Select a default recording alias, type the
address of the endpoint you want to call
and click on Place Call. Alternatively, you
can dial one of the recording aliases’
E.164 alias or H.323 ID from your
endpoint.
You can watch the on demand conference
in Recorded Conferences. Calls which
were made with the default On Demand
alias need to be transcoded before they
can be watched. The progress of the
transcoding process can be viewed in
Pending Conferences.

authentication, only users with valid local
accounts who have been added through
the User Management page will be able to
log in. Local groups are not supported.
Choose Domain. If you select domain
authentication, the Content Server must
be added to the domain, and details of
the LDAP server used for authentication
must be lled out in the elds below.
Please see the sidebar to the right for

Server address. Enter the DNS name or IP
address of your LDAP server. Only Microsoft
Active Directory Server is suppor ted for 3.0
and 2.x versions of the Content Server.
Port. Port 389 is the default port for
most Domain Controllers. Global Catalog
Servers may use port 389 or 3268.
LDAP Server. Click on the
this section and enter your server details.
+
to expand
Both LDAP and Domain authentication methods require the
details of a Microsoft Active Directory Server to be entered in the
Authentication section. At this time, only Microsoft Active Directory
Server is supported by the TANDBERG Content Server.
Clicking on the Save button (see Site Settings) will perform a check of the
LDAP server settings as the Content Server attempts to bind to the LDAP
server. Changes to Site Settings will not be saved if the LDAP settings
entered are incorrect.
Domain Authentication
Domain authentication can only be used if the Content Server has been
added to the domain. If you add the Content Server to an existing domain,
you need to dene a separate security policy for the server, otherwise the
existing security policies may prevent the server from functioning correctly.
Please contact your authorized TANDBERG reseller or partner for details of
the recommended security policy set tings.
Under Domain authentication, users with domain accounts and local
users are able to log in. The local administrator account can be used to
administer the server, or some domain users can be given administrative
privileges.
LDAP Authentication
LDAP authentication does not require the Content Server to be added to a
domain.
Before changing authentication from local to LDAP, the local administrator
must add at least one LDAP user with administrative privileges to the
Content Server. To do this, go to User Management > Add Users and enter
at least one valid username in the Add Administrators section.
Under LDAP authentication local users cannot log in using the standard
login method. However, the local administrator can log in by adding the
following string: #page:login&rescue:true to the end of the Content Server
URL of the browser:
Hit the Enter key on your keyboard and log in with the local administrator
account in the resulting pop-up window.
While it is possible for the local administrator to login using this method, it
is more convenient to give an LDAP user account administrative privileges.

Base DN. This is the search base which the Content
Server uses to search for user records. The Content
Server will search the object specied by the Base DN
(Distinguished Name) and any objects beneath it.
The Base DN is a unique name for this container. It
consists of OU, CN, and DN components.
In the examples above, OU ‘marketing’ is
contained within the OU ‘employees’, so
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com will identify all
employees of the company including the Marketing
department, and OU=marketing,OU=employees,DC=c
ompany,DC=com will identify users from the Marketing
depar tment only.
User DN. This is the LDAP identier of the account in your
domain which the Content Server will use to identify the
user who is trying to log in. This account must have read
membership privileges, that is, privileges to retrieve users’
‘member Of’ attributes from Active Directory using LDAP. You
can use an existing account or create a new special account
with those privileges. This account does not need to be
inside the search tree specied in Base DN.
The User DN (Distinguished name) is a unique name for this
account. It consists of:
CN (Common Name) of the special account
•
OU (Organizational Unit)
•
DC (Domain Object Class)

privileges and delete users.
GUEST ACCESS
The Content Server supports guest access to view conferences. If
you want guest users to view conferences without having to log in to
the Content Ser ver:
Select
•
With guest access, users only need to enter the Content Server IP
address in their browser and they do not have to authenticate at all
to view those conferences. In this case, you only need to add users
who will have to authenticate (log in) to get special privileges, such as
administrators and owners.
AUTHENTICATED ACCESS
The Content Ser ver also suppor ts authenticated access to
view conferences. If you want only authenticated users to view
conferences, make sure that the Allow Guest Access checkbox is
deselected in Site Settings . In this case, you have to add all users
who need access to view, edit or administer content (through the
Add Users page). If you select Allow access to all users checkbox
in Conference permissions, those conferences will be available for
viewing by all authenticated users.
AUTHENTICATED AND GUEST ACCESS
It is also possible to have a mixture of guest and authenticated
access for viewing conferences. If you want some conferences
to be available to everybody, and other conferences restricted to
authenticated users:
•
•
Depending on the authentication method chosen in Site Settings,
administrators can add local users (who have been created on the
local computer) or users (or groups) authenticated via LDAP.

ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
Adding Users Under Local Authentication
If Local authentication is selected in Site Settings,
local users can log in to the Content Ser ver.
Firstly, you need to ensure that local user accounts
have been created on the Content Ser ver. You can
create local user accounts from the Windows Server
administration site in the Administrator Set tings
menu.
These users then need to be added to the Content
Server database by entering their usernames on the
Add Users page. Please note that adding local groups
is not supported.
Local usernames must be entered in this format:
MACHINENAME\user.name:Display Name(optional)
Adding Users Manually
LDAP/Active Directory users need to be added
manually through the Add Users page before they can
log in if:

Adding Users Correctly
Adding Groups
Groups always need to be added manually
through the Add Users page.
LDAP/Active Directory groups must be
entered in this format:
@group.name
Please note that although a group is added
in this format, @group.name, both the group
name and its base DN are displayed in the
User Management page.
When adding a group, all members of that
group will be automatically added to the
Content Server on login with the privileges
you assigned to the group, if Domain or LDAP
authentication is selected in Site Set tings,
and regardless of whether or not Allow Guest
Access is selected in Site Settings.
If you add a group with Owner privileges, as
members of that group log in to the Content
Server, their accounts will be automatically
created. The User Role next to their user
name in the User Management page will
appear to be User, but they will have
Owner privileges inherited from their group
membership.
If you want all members of the group to be
Users or Owners, but some members of
the group need administrative privileges,
you can change the User Role for these
members to Admin. The highest user role will
be applied.
Users need to be added to the user database
on the Content Ser ver in order to log in. To add
users, enter one user name per line, or user
names separated by a semicolon.

TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
About Template Editing
The contents of a template determine how a
videoconference is streamed/recorded by the
TANDBERG Content Server.
The Content Ser ver comes with a number of
pre-dened templates that have no select
box and so cannot be deleted. They can be
edited and saved as new templates. They are
described in detail on page 51.
Templates that are used in a recording alias
cannot be deleted. They are identiable
because their check box is greyed out.
Administrator created templates can be
edited, changed and saved or saved as a new
template.
Options to think about for using existing,
or creating new templates to produce the
output required:
What codecs or combinations of codecs are
•
needed? Windows Media, Real Media or
QuickTime?
Is the conference needed to be streamed live
•
or on demand or both?
What sizes are needed for the outputs: audio,
•
small, medium or large?
Will there be any outputs for playback in
•
portable devices?
What layout do you want for playback in the
•
viewer or for the portable device?
According to what answers are given to the
above options, a recording/streaming template
can be chosen from one of the existing system
templates, one of the system templates can be
saved as a new template, or a new template can
be created.
The Template Editor Settings
There may be too many
templates to be displayed
on a single page given the
preset number of templates
displayed per page. Go to the
other pages here. Check your
Preferences to change the
number of displayed Items
Per Page.
Select templates to be
deleted. Use the check-box
above the column to select
non- predened templates.
Predened system templates
cannot be deleted from the
interface. Templates that
are used in recording aliases
cannot be selected or deleted
from the list.
Click on the Add Template
button to create a new
template.
Click here to delete the
templates selected.
Any template can be
edited and then saved
with changes or saved
as a new template.
Templates that are being
used in a call can also be
edited for the next call.

Movie Settings
Conference Sizes. You can select up to two conference sizes.
Your selection of conference sizes in the Template Editor should
be based on the end-user’s streaming environment and Internet
connection.
Audio-only. If your users have a very poor quality Internet access,
choose ‘Audio-only’. The average bit rate for streaming the
conference will be around 35 kbps. Audio from the Main source
will be recorded and played back, and if Dual Video is activated
during the call, it will be displayed as still images.
Small. If your users have 64k modem access, choose ‘Small’. The
average bit rate for streaming the conference will be around 51
kbps.
The resolution of the recorded video in the Switching layout will
be up to 160x120 pixels (for QCIF, CIF, 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls) and
212x120 pixels (for w288p, w448p, w576p, 720p). In the Two
Videos layout, Dual Video will be displayed as still images only.
Medium. If your users have broadband access to the Internet
(around 500kbps), choose ‘Medium’. The bit rate for streaming
the conference will depend on the bandwidth of the call, but will
be capped at 471 kbps. So, for example, a 128k call bandwidth
will result in a 117kbps streaming bit rate for your conference, and
a 384k call bandwidth will result in a 353kbps bit rate. All calls
512K and over will result in a 471kbps bit rate for your streaming
conference.
The resolution of the recorded video will depend on the video
format negotiated for the call as well as the call bandwidth,
apart from QCIF calls, which will always get a 160 × 120 pixels
resolution.
In the Switching layout, the resolution will be:
240 × 180 pixels for CIF, 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls made at or
•
below 384k;
320 × 180 pixels for w288p, w448p, w576p, 720p calls made
•
at or below 384k;
320 × 240 pixels for CIF, 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls made at or
•
above 512k;
424 × 240 pixels for w288p, w448p, w576p, 720p calls made
•
at or above 512k.
Movie Settings
Large. If your users have access to a high-speed LAN,
choose ‘Large’. Beware, the bit rate for streaming the
conference will depend on the bandwidth of the call, and
can be as high as 1.76Mbps for a 1920k call. Users on
broadband connections which cannot suppor t this streaming
bit rate will get a very poor streaming experience, with video
buffering, stopping and star ting (stuttering). This format also
takes the longest to transcode.
The resolution of the recorded video will depend on the video
format negotiated for the call as well as the call bandwidth,
apart from QCIF calls, which will always get a 160 × 120
pixels resolution, CIF calls, which get 352 × 264 pixels and
w288p calls, which get 512 × 288 pixels.
In the Switching layout, the resolution will be:
480 × 360 pixels for 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls made at or
•
below 768k;
640 × 360 pixels for w448p, w576p and 720p calls made
•
at or below 768k;
576 × 448 pixels for 2.5CIF calls made at or above 1152k;
•
576 × 448 pixels for 2.5CIF calls made at or above 1152k;
•
768 × 448 pixels for w448p, w576p and 720p calls made
•
at or above 1152k.
Large and Medium sizes have been designed to
provide the optimum viewing experience based on
adaptive algorithms which are dependent on the video
format negotiated during the call and the bandwidth of the call.
Higher quality inputs with a large amount of data will result in
a high resolution and high streaming bit rate outputs—e.g.
a Large size Windows Media Switching layout template used
in a w576p call made at a bandwidth of 1920k will result in a
768 × 448 video streaming at a bit rate of 1.76 Mbps. Lower
quality inputs with less data will result in lower resolution and
lower bit rate outputs—e.g. the same Large size template
used in a 384k 4CIF call will result in a 480 × 360 video
streaming at 353 kbps.

About Media Servers
Use the Media Ser vers page to congure
external streaming ser vers for live streaming
and on demand playback of Windows Media,
MPEG4 and Real Media.
External streaming servers congured here will
be available when you create new templates or
edit existing templates. You can also specif y
your congured servers to be the default
servers for new templates in Site Settings >
System Defaults > Default Media Servers
The TANDBERG Content Server comes with
two precongured default media servers which
cannot be edited or deleted:
Local IIS Web Server
•
Local Windows Media Streaming Server
•
The Media Servers Options
Local IIS Web Server. By
default, this ser ver is used
to deliver MPEG4 and
Real Media for on demand
playback as a progressive
download (HTTP or pseudostreaming). It also delivers
still images, if available. This
server cannot be modied or
deleted.
Local Windows Media
Streaming Ser ver. By default,
this ser ver is used for
streaming Windows Media
live and on demand. This
server cannot be modied or
deleted, but its properties
can be edited and it can be
saved as a new server.

Media Storage Location
TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
About Media Storage Location
The default location for your media les is drive
E: on your TANDBERG Content Server. You may
change this location to store les on a NAS by
using the TCS NAS Wizard.
The NAS Wizard gives you the ability to store
your media in an external location, which
means that your recording capacity will not
be limited by the disk storage on the Content
Server.
Your media will be recorded to a temporary
directory on the Content Server rst, and
then automatically moved to the NAS. Your
conferences will be streamed from the NAS
using the Content Server’s streaming media
server or another external streaming media
server that you specif y.
We recommend Network At tached Storage
(NAS) devices which are built on the Windows
Storage server and are Windows Hardware
Quality Lab certied. The le sharing protocol
used by the Content Server to the NAS is
Microsoft SMB.
Before You Start
The Media Storage Location
Before you star t, make sure that:
The Content Ser ver is added to same
•
domain as the NAS (see the section on
Authentication for details on adding the
Content Server to a domain).
Choose or create an account in the domain
•
under which IIS will run. This domain
account needs to have both administrative
rights on the Content Ser ver and
permissions over the NAS share.

Using TMS to Schedule Calls
TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
About TMS Scheduling
It is possible to schedule calls to be recorded by the
Content Server through TMS (TANDBERG Management
Suite, available separately).
In order to use TMS to book recordings on the Content
Server, you need to:
Enable the API in 1.
Content Server Site Set tings > API
Add the Content Server to TMS 2.
If the Content Ser ver is registered to a gatekeeper in
Gateway mode, users booking a conference in TMS
11.8 can choose from a range of System Aliases and
their Personal Recording Aliases. No further special
conguration is necessary on the Content Server side.
If the Content Ser ver is registered to a gatekeeper in
Terminal mode, only System Aliases and dedicated
Personal Aliases (with the owner set to api-admin) will
be available for recording conferences. See below for
conguration notes.
Creating a Dedicated TMS Alias
Add a new user with the username api-admin under
Administrator Settings > User Management > Add Users
(Add Administrators eld)
Create a new alias under
Conference Setup > Recording Alias Options > New: Name,
e.g. TMS, Owner:api-admin
Do NOT check the System Alias checkbox—the TMS alias
must be a Personal alias.
Create dedicated TMS-only Recording Aliases. Only those
aliases will be available for booking by TMS.
For more information on TMS integration, refer to the
TANDBERG Management Suite Administrator Guide or contact
your TANDBERG representative or authorized reseller.

conference and can be edited before the
call is placed and also after the call has
nished.
Calls made with the same alias will have
the same default settings, but dif ferent
conference URLs.
Recording Alias Options Available Depend on Your Privileges
The recording alias options are available from
the Conference Setup menu and only for users
with administrator or owner privileges.

personal alias or aliases, if the administrator
has set them up with owner privileges for an
alias.
Another owner (a user with privileges to
make calls) may see no aliases at all, if the
administrator has not set them up with owner
privileges for an alias.
