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 transpor t 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.•
2
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 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.

Basic H.323 Services Setup
!
TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
Step 1 - Initial SetupAbout Basic H.323 Services
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.

page).
Making a test call recording.2.
Changing the administrator password and 3.
setting up server date and time on the
Windows Server (described on the next
page).
If the Content Ser ver is not registered
to a gatekeeper, you can make a test
recording by dialing the IP address of the
Content Server from an endpoint.
If you have logged out, log back in to the
Content Server web interface via http or
https://<ContentServerIPaddress>.
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.

Security Certicate Management
The TANDBERG Content Server has implemented SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol for sending
user authentication information (username and password) in a secure way at user log in. The SSL
implementation means that the Content Ser ver website needs to establish its credentials with the
user’s browser through an electronic document known as a security cer ticate.
Each TANDBERG Content Ser ver is shipped with a self signed cer ticate issued by TANDBERG,
which is valid for a year. As TANDBERG is not a trusted Certicate Authority, when users tr y to log
in to the Content Ser ver, most browsers will display a message that the identity of the site could
not be veried. Users may add the Content Server to their trusted sites list to avoid getting error
messages at log in.
Once the original Content Server cer ticate has expired, another certicate request can be
generated using the IIS cer ticate wizard. Once this request is generated, another self signed
certicate may be created, using a third party tool, or this request can be for warded to a cer ticate
issuing authority.
TANDBERG recommends purchasing a securit y cer ticate from a certicate issuing authority that
has a trusted relationship back to a root authority, such as VeriSign or Comodo. These credentials
are most likely to be trusted by browsers, removing the need to add the Content Server to the list
of trusted sites. This certicate needs to be generated against the Windows machine name or the
DNS entr y associated with the IP address that the TCS is using.
Using Remote Desktop
Provide the local administrator username
and password.
Once you have nished the necessar y installations, restart the Content Server if prompted to
do so. Otherwise, terminate your Remote Desktop session by log ging off. Please note that if
you choose Shut down, it will shut down the Content Server!
If you want to copy security updates or
software upgrade files from your PC to
the Content Ser ver desktop, click on
Options>LocalResources and select Disk
Drives, then click on Connect.

Backing Up Your Content Server
About Backing up The Backup Procedure
TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
The backup procedure described here will back up your
application, database, media and all settings.
This full backup dif fers from the partial backup tool used in S2.0
which only backed up the database.
This procedure alllows you to make one-of f as well as scheduled
backups. We recommend regular backups, and making a special
one- off backup before upgrading your Content Server.
It is very impor tant to follow the restore procedure as described
here, otherwise future upgrades may not work.
Before You Start
Before attempting backup, check in Add/Remove programs that
you have Windows Server 2003 Ser vice Pack installed. Please
ensure that Service Pack 2 is installed on the Content Server
before proceeding with backup.
Visit http://www.tandberg.com/support/tandberg _device_
security.jsp for instructions on how to install Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 Service Pack 2 on the TANDBERG Content Ser ver.
If you are not backing up to a network location, connect
a USB hard drive to a USB port on the Content Server. If
the USB device does not appear in My Computer, go to
Computer Management and assign a drive letter which
does not conflict with the existing drives (eg. F).
Login to the web interface using Internet Explorer and
select Windows Server from the Administrator Settings
menu.
If you are not using Internet Explorer, you can also open
the Backup Wizard from a Remote Desk top session. Go
to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools >
Backup
Click on the Maintenance tab, then select the Backup link.
Authenticate to open a Remote Desktop connection. If
your Internet Explorer 7 settings prevent you from running
Active X scripts, you may need to add the Content Server
to your Trusted Sites list in IE.
Start the Backup and Restore Wizard.
You will need a USB Hard drive with enough space for all les
to be backed up. Check the total size of the les to be
backed up on your Content Ser ver (in My Computer). You
can also back up to a network location.

About Authentication
This section allows you to congure
authentication modes for the Content Server.
Authentication determines how users log in to the
Content Server and the username and password
that they must use. For more information, see
also the Prompting Users to Log in section.
There are three modes of authentication
suppor ted by the Content Server:
Local•
LDAP•
Domain•
These are each explained in the section that
follows.
Administrators and Owners always need to
authenticate. Users wanting to view conferences
can log in, or they can be given guest access to
view some or all conferences without logging in.
For more information on conguring guest access,
see the User Properties section.
Authentication Modes
Local Authentication
In local authentication mode, only users with valid local accounts who have been added through the User Management page will be able to log in. Local
authentication can be used if there are not a lot of users using the Content Server, since every account has to be manually set up through the Windows Server
administration menu.
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 suppor ted 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 a domain. If you add the Content Server to an existing domain, you need to
dene a separate security policy for the Content Server, otherwise the existing securit y policies may prevent the server from functioning correctly. Please contact
your authorized TANDBERG reseller or partner for details of the recommended security policy settings.
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:
Example: The URL will look something like:
http://<ContentServerIPaddress>/tcs/#page:login&rescue:true
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.

LDAP Server Settings
Server address. Enter the DNS name or IP address
of your LDAP server. Only Microsoft Active Directory
Server is supported for 3.x 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.
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.
Base DN examples:
OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com OU=marketi
ng,OU=employees,DC=company,DC=com
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=empl
oyees,DC=company,DC=com will identify users from
the Marketing department 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’ ‘memberOf’ 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)
•
User DN examples: CN=user_account,OU=employee
s,DC=company,DC=com CN=user_account,OU=ma
rketing,DC=company,DC=com
Please note that DNs can have many more than four
parts.
Password. Enter the password for the account
identied above.

The TANDBERG Content Server includes
an Application Programmer Interface
(API) which has been designed to
provide mechanisms for external
systems and services to get information
from, and add information to the
TANDBERG Content Server. The External
Management API has been designed
for integration with the TANDBERG
Management Suite (TMS) but may
also be of use with other management
systems.
The API is enabled by default and must
stay enabled in the following cases:
If integration with TMS is required.
•
If the API is used for customized
•
integration with other systems. Refer
to the TANDBERG Content Server API
Documentation for details of available
API calls.
If neither of the cases above applies, the
API can be disabled.

About Managing Users
The Users menu is used to add new users, change user 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• Allow Guest Access checkbox in Site Settings, and
Select • Allow access to all users checkbox in Conference
permissions for all or some conferences.
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:
Select • Allow Guest Access checkbox in Site Settings, and ...
Select• Allow access to all users checkbox in Conference
Permissions for conferences you want guests to see.
Add users and/or groups who need to login to the

About Adding Users
TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
Adding Users Under Local Authentication
If Local authentication is selected in Site Settings, local users
can log in to the Content Server.
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 Settings 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 or Groups Under Domain or LDAP
Authentication
When Domain or LDAP authentication is selected in Site
Settings, LDAP/Active Directory users or groups can log in to the
Content Server.
Active Directory users can be added to the Content Ser ver
manually or automatically.
Groups need to be added manually. Any users in those groups
will then be able to log in without having to be added individually.
The user will inherit group privileges from the group they belong
to.
Adding Users Manually
LDAP/Active Directory users need to be added manually through
the Add Users page before they can log in if:
Domain• or LDAP authentication is selected in Site Settings,
and
Allow Guest Access• is selected in Site Settings.
Adding users under Domain authentication:
Users must be entered in this format: DOMAINNAME\user.
•
name or DOMAINNAME\user.name:Display name
Adding users under LDAP authentication:
Users must be entered in this format: user.name or user.
•
name:Display name
Adding Users Automatically
All users with valid accounts on the Domain or LDAP ser ver will
be added automatically upon login if:
Domain• or LDAP authentication is selected in Site Settings
and
Allow Guest Access• is deselected in Site Settings.
Users added automatically will only have privileges to view
conferences they are authorized to view (their user role will
be User). Administrators can give users special privileges by
changing their role to Owner or Administrator).
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 Users 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 Settings, and regardless of
whether or not Allow Guest Access is selected in Site Set tings.
If you add a group with Owner privileges, as members of that
group log in to the Content Ser ver, their accounts will be
automatically created. The User Role next to their user name in
the Users 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.

TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
About Templat es
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.
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 Templates Page
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.

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.
The TANDBERG Content Server comes with
two precongured default media servers which

Conguration Options
Click on the Add Windows Media Streaming
Server to create a new ser ver for streaming
Windows Media.
The conguration options for your Windows
Media streaming server include live and on
demand streaming.
Live streams can be sent to Windows Media
Player clients using either a unicast or a
multicast connection.
There are two options for conguring the
Content Server for live multicast deliver y:
Multicast streaming on a dynamically
•
assigned IP address. The Content Server
will use the rst two octets of the IP address
specied in the Destination multicast IP
address of the WMS Multicast Data Writer
properties, but it will dynamically assign
the last two octets, eg. if an IP address like
10.0.1.1 is specied, the Content Ser ver
may use any addresses in the 10.0 range for
multicast streaming.
Multicast streaming on a xed IP address.• If
a Multicast IP address and port is specied
in the Advanced Live Multicast Settings,
the Content Ser ver will stream to this IP
address.
Unicast is the default live streaming
option for the default Local Windows
Media Streaming Server. Unicast
connections are one-to one connections
between each Windows Media Player client and
the ser ver. Each unicast client that connects to
the ser ver takes up additional bandwidth.
Server Settings
SERVER SETTINGS
Name. Enter a descriptive name for the server.
The ser ver name will be used in a template
when selecting a media ser ver. This eld is
required.
Server Address. Enter the DNS name or the
IP address of the server. Use (local) if it is on
this TANDBERG Content Server. This eld is
required.
Suppor t Live Streaming. Select if the server is
to suppor t live streaming. Once selected the
Media Server will be available to choose in the
Live Media Server Set tings for templates that
stream Windows Media.
Advanced Live Multicast Settings. Select if you
would like your multicast content to stream on a
xed IP address.
Suppor t On Demand. Select if the server is to
support on demand streaming. Once selected
the Media Server will be available to choose
in the On Demand Media Ser ver Settings for
templates that stream Windows Media.
In multicast deliver y, the server sends only one
stream which reaches all player clients at the
same time. There is no additional overhead for
the ser ver regardless of whether one or more
clients are connected.
Multicast delivery is generally used for
broadcasting live streams on a corporate
network and will only work if all routers on the
network are multicast enabled.

About Call Congurations
The Call Congurations page allows
administrators to set up dif ferent
congurations for calls. These call
congurations can then be selected in a
Recording Aliase and used in a call.
The following call options are controlled by
the Call Conguration attached to a Recording
Alias:
H.239 support and resolutions•
suppor ted call speeds•
maximum call length•
encryption suppor t•
suppor ted video and audio codecs.•
Call Congurations Overview
The System Call Conguration cannot be
deleted. It can be edited and then saved as
a new Call Conguration. It has all options

Editing, Duplicating or Creating a New Call Conguration
TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
About Editing
This is ver y similar to the template
editing described in the articles on
Template Editor.
System call conguration cannot be
altered — instead it can be edited
and saved under a new name to allow
changes to be made.
Non- system call congurations, however,
may be edited.
The Call Conguration Editor Page is
shown here as it looks when the Add Call
Cong button has been clicked.
Suppor t Encryption. Select to allow
calls using this call conguration to use
encryption.
Adver tised Codecs. The TANDBERG
Content Server supports advertising of
video and audio codecs as part of the
capability set negotiation.
Video Algorithm. The administrator can
enable advertising of video codecs for
each call conguration by selecting the
checkbox. Supported advertised codecs.
include H.261, H.263 and H.264.
Audio Algorithm. The administrator can
enable advertising of audio codecs for
each call conguration by selecting the
checkbox. Supported advertised codecs
include G.711, G.722 and G.722.1.
The Call Conguration Editor Settings
Name. Use the Name eld to provide a
short description of your call conguration
le.
H.239 Capabilities Enabled. H.239
capabilities are enabled by default. If H.239
Dual Video output is not required, this
capability can be disabled.
Suppor ted Resolutions. Administrators can
select the resolutions for acceptable H.239
video input. For optimal performance, it is
recommended that the maximum resolution
be set to 800 × 600 or 640 × 480.
Call Options. The supported call speeds
and maximum time in call can be set for call
conguration.
Suppor ted call speeds (kbps). The
administrator can select the supported call
speeds for calls from a range of options
from 128 to 2048 kbps. This determines
the range of available call bandwidths
when the Recording Alias using a given call
conguration is dialled.
Maximum time in call (mins). This feature
will automatically end both incoming and
outgoing calls when the call time exceeds
the leng th of time specied in minutes. The
default setting in the Full Call Conguration
template is 0, which means that the call will
never be automatically ended. The default
value for new call congurations is 0.

description.
Administrators can edit existing categories,
delete categories that are not needed and add
new categories to the installation.
Delete categories by clicking the Categories

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 Ser ver. You may
change this location to store les on a Network
Attached Storage (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 Ser ver 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 specify.
We recommend NAS devices which are built on
the Windows Storage ser ver and are Windows
Hardware Quality Lab certied. The le sharing
protocol used by the Content Server to the NAS
is Microsoft SMB.
Prerequisites

Steps Required for Changing 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.

•
alias—this requires the Content Server to
be registered to the gatekeeper.
The Content Ser ver SIP URI• —this feature
requires the Content Ser ver to be registered
to a SIP registrar.
The SIP URI of a recording alias• —this
requires the Content Ser ver to be registered
to a SIP registrar.
Concurrent Calls
It is possible to make up to 5 concurrent calls,
of which two can be broadcast live.
The same recording alias can be used for the
two live calls and another one, with no live
component, can be used for the other three
calls. Also, 5 different recording aliases can be
used for the 5 calls.
Once connection to the Content Server has been established, a Recording conference poster will be displayed at the endpoint.
If the template has a live output, the call will be streamed live and available for viewing on demand.
If the template does not have a live output, it will be available for on demand viewing. Calls made from endpoints to the Content Ser ver begin recording
once the call setup is complete and the Content Server begins receiving audio and video from the endpoint.

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).
In order to use TMS to book recordings on the Content
Server, you need to:
Enable the API in 1.
Content Server Site Settings > 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
and above can choose from a range of System Aliases
and their Personal Recording Aliases. No fur ther special
conguration is necessary on the Content Ser ver 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
Creating a Dedicated TMS Alias
From the Add Users page on the Content Server, add a new
user with the username api-admin. The user needs to have
Administrator privileges.
Create a new recording alias e.g. TMS Alias, with the owner
set to: api- admin
Do NOT check the System Alias checkbox—the TMS alias
must be a Personal alias.
You need to create 2 live and 3 non-live 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.

Recording Alias Options
TANDBERG CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
About Recording Alias Options
Recording Aliases are used to record
a Conference and they contain all the
relevant information about the Call.
The default TANDBERG Content Server
installation has two default system
aliases available.
The two default aliases are:
Default Live and OnDemand
•
Default OnDemand only
•
Multiple concurrent calls can be made
using both those aliases but of the ve
concurrent calls, up to two can be live.
The recording alias determines:
The call type —live or on demand.
•
The outputs, based on the recording
•
template and call conguration
specied in the alias.
Access to the live and recorded
•
conference.
Conference password (optional).
•
All conference metadata, such as
name, description, speaker, location,
copyright and categor y specied in the
alias will be automatically applied to the
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 and User Privileges
The recording alias options are available from
the Conference Setup menu and only for users
with administrator or owner privileges.
By choosing the recording alias options an
administrator will see a screen like the one
shown here.
For the same aliases, an owner (a user with
privileges to make calls) will see only their
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.
Aliases can be sor ted according to their column
title in both ascending and descending order.
The number of aliases displayed on a page can
be 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100.
Navigating between pages is consistent with the
view conference screens.
