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 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, CO
•
2
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 certain 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.

Basic H.323 Services Setup via Content Server Interface—Step 1
Initial Setup
About Basic H.323 Services
A quick basic setup of your TANDBERG Content
Server includes:
Setting up H.323 services via the Content
1.
Server interface.
Making a test call recording.
2.
Changing the administrator password and
3.
setting up server date and time on the
Windows Server.
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 TANDBERG
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.
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.
Make sure that the E.164 aliases and H.323
IDs unique on your network 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-. The H.323 ID of
a live Recording Alias is set to Live and the H.323 ID of an on demand
Recording Alias is set to OnDemand. If upgrading from S2, the machine
name will be replaced by the serial number.

finished and the recording has been
transcoded.
You can end the call from the Edit link in
Live Conferences, or from the endpoint
you dialed.
If the Content Server is not registered
to a gatekeeper, you can make a test
recording by dialing the IP address of the
Content Server from an endpoint.

About User Management
The User Manager Settings
The User Management 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 Server:
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 Server also supports 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
•
Content Server (through the Add Users page) and then
enter user- or group names in Conference permissions
for conferences that only those authenticated users
should be able to view.
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.
Adding Users (I)
User Management (continued)

User Management (continued)
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 Server. 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:

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 Settings,
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.

The Template Editor Settings
The contents of a template determine how a
videoconference is streamed/recorded by the
TANDBERG Content Server.
The Content Server comes with a number of
pre-defined 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 identifiable
because their check box is greyed out.
Administrator created templates can be
edited, changed and saved or saved as a new
template.
About Template Editing
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
About System Templates

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
•

320 × 240 pixels for CIF, 2.5CIF and 4CIF calls made at or

Categories
The Category Settings
About Categories
A conference can be assigned a
Category to make searching for
conferences quicker for the user.
Personal Recording Aliases can be
assigned a category so that any
conference created using the alias
inherits the category.
There are six categories that come
with the Content Server installation,
Announcement, Education, General,
Meetings, News and Training. Each
category contains a name and a
description.
Administrators can edit existing
categories, delete categories that are
not needed, by clicking the Categories
select box and then the Delete Selected
button and add new categories to the
installation.
Click the Add Category button to add a
new category and description.
If a category is deleted, all conferences
that were assigned that category will
then have no category assigned to them.

About Media Storage Location
Before You Start
The default location for your media files is drive
E: on your TANDBERG Content Server. You may
change this location to store files 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 first, 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 Network Attached Storage
(NAS) devices which are built on the Windows
Storage server and are Windows Hardware
Quality Lab certified. The file sharing protocol
used by the Content Server to the NAS is
Microsoft SMB.
The Media Storage Location
Before you start, make sure that:
The Content Server 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 Server and
permissions over the NAS share.
Make sure that your Content Server is on the same domain as the NAS
•

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 Settings > API
Add the Content Server to TMS
2.
If the Content Server 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
configuration is necessary on the Content Server side.
If the Content Server 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
configuration notes.
