The TANDBERG VCS
VCS Control
The VCS Control provides internal video control and administration for all SIP and H.323 devices.
It is normally deployed within your wide area network with endpoints that are behind the same
rewalls or NAT devices.
The VCS Control replaces the need to have separate H.323 gatekeeper, SIP registrar and H.323 -
SIP gateway servers.
VCS base applications
VCS Expressway™
The VCS Expressway provides standards-based rewall traversal for SIP and H.323 devices allowing
secure rewall traversal of any rewall or NAT device. As well as all the functionality of a VCS
Control, it also provides registration of traversal-enabled devices and can act as a standards-based
TURN server.
The VCS Expressway is normally deployed outside of your rewall or within the DMZ.

The following features are available on the VCS by the purchase and installation of the appropriate
option key:
FindMe™
A unique industry solution that gives individual video users a single alias on which they can be
contacted regardless of location. Users have the ability to log on to a Web-based interface and
control where and how they are contacted. The FindMe feature also includes support for Microsoft
Ofce Communications Server (OCS) 2007, enabling FindMe aliases to register as Microsoft Ofce
Communicator (MOC) clients, and MOC clients to view the presence status of FindMe aliases.
Device Provisioning
The Device Provisioning option key allows VCS to provision endpoints with conguration information
on request and to supply endpoints with phone book information. (Endpoints including TANDBERG
Movi v2.0 or later, and E20 v2.1 or later can request to be provisioned.) All conguration and phone
book information is managed in TMS, and distributed to the clients through the TMS Agent running
on the VCS. The TMS Agent on the VCS also provides TMS with the provisioned client’s status.
There is no conguration associated with Device Provisioning on the VCS – it is either on or off,
depending on whether or not the option key is installed. See the TMS documentation and the
TANDBERG Provisioning Deployment Guide [26].
Dual Network Interfaces
Enables the LAN 2 Ethernet port on the VCS Expressway, allowing you to have a secondary IP
address for your VCS.
This option also includes support for deployments where a VCS Expressway is located behind a
static NAT device, allowing it to have separate public and private IP addresses.
This conguration is intended for high-security deployments where the VCS Expressway is located in
a DMZ between two separate rewalls on separate network segments.

D14049.07

Grey Headline (continued)
The following features have been introduced in version X5.1 of
the VCS software:
Usability enhancements
Many usability improvements have been made, including:
• Description elds for conguration items: a free-format
description can be specied for the following conguration
items: transforms, Allow List and Deny List patterns, search
rules, subzone membership rules.
When viewing the summary list of these items the description
is displayed as a mouse-over tooltip.
• Enable and disable conguration items: transforms, search
rules and subzone membership rules can be individually
enabled and disabled. This makes it easier to make or test
conguration changes.
Previously, conguration items would have to be deleted and
re-created as necessary. The enabled or disabled state is
clearly shown on the summary list pages.
• "Add sufx" and "add prex" transform options: new pre-
search transform pattern behavior options let you add a prex
or sufx to the matching alias. Previously, regular expressions
would have been required to do this.
• Consistent create and modify behavior for conguration
items: for conguration where multiple items can be dened
(for example, Allow List patterns, search rules and so on) the
create and modify behavior has been made consistent so that
you are always returned to the summary list page after saving
your changes.
Additionally, new search rules, subzone membership rules,
subzones and zones are all created in a single step. Previously
you had to specify some of the conguration values when
creating the item, and then return to the edit page to specify
the remainder of the values.
• "Please select" in drop-down elds: when creating
conguration items some of the default values presented in
drop-down selection elds have been replaced with a "please
select" value. This helps prevent potentially undesirable
default values being selected by mistake.
• Improved ltering options for Event Log and Conguration
Log: advanced ltering options let you include or exclude
specic words or phrases when ltering the view of the Event
Log and the Conguration Log.
• OCS Relay status: colored status icons make the difference
between the online and ofine OCS Relay status more distinct.
• Conguration warnings: more warnings are raised for common
misconguration scenarios, for example if a clustered VCS has
H.323 disabled, or if default links are not present.
FindMe™ / User Policy option key
• The User Policy option key has been renamed as the FindMe™
option key.
• "FindMe accounts" and "FindMe groups" are now referred to
as "user accounts" and "user groups" respectively.
Subzone registration policies
• In addition to using Allow Lists and Deny Lists, registrations
can be controlled at the subzone level. Each subzone can be
congured to allow or deny registrations assigned to it via
the subzone membership rules. See the subzones section for
more information.
• Up to 3000 subzone membership rules (previously 2000) can
be congured across all subzones.
Zone conguration
• TLS authentication: the VCS can perform certicate
verication of neighbor zones when communicating over TLS.
Mutual authentication can be performed with neighbor VCSs.
• TLS default transport type: TLS is the default SIP transport
type when setting up new neighbor, traversal client and
traversal server zones.
• SIP authentication trust: the VCS can be congured to trust
incoming SIP messages from specied neighbor zones, rather
than challenge them. This applies even if device authentication
is enabled on the VCS.
• Accept proxied registrations: controls whether proxied SIP
registrations routed through a neighbor, traversal client or
traversal server zone are accepted.
• Nortel Communication Server 1000 zone prole: the VCS can
automatically congure the settings required for connections
to a Nortel Communication Server 1000.
• Separate authentication credentials per traversal client
zone: each traversal client zone species its own username
and password for authentication with the traversal server. This
allows a traversal client VCS to connect to one or more service
providers.
See the zone conguration section for more information.
Note that the existing Outbound connection credentials
username and password are still used for connections to all
other (non traversal server) external systems.
Conference Factory generated alias ranges
• The upper and lower range limits of the numeric portion of the
generated alias can be specied.
• The numeric portion of the generated alias will pad with
leading zeroes to maintain a constant length, for example a
range of 10-999 will generate aliases 010 through 999.
Advanced Media Gateway support
The Advanced Media Gateway (AM gateway) provides support
for transcoding between standard codecs (such as H.264)
and Microsoft RT Video to allow high denition calls between
Microsoft Ofce Communicator (MOC) clients and TANDBERG
endpoints.
• Advanced Media Gateway zone prole: automatically
congures the VCS with the zone settings required for
connection to an AM gateway.
• Policy rules: ability to dene policy rules to control whether
all or only selected calls to or from MOC clients are diverted
through the AM gateway.
See VCS and the Advanced Media Gateway for more information.

Far end camera control interworking
The VCS supports far end camera control (FECC) when
interworking calls between SIP and H.323 endpoints.
G.729 support for interworked calls
The G.729 codec is supported for interworked calls.
Advanced account security
An Advanced account security option key enables advanced
security features and restrictions for high-security installations.
Contact your TANDBERG support representative for more
information about this feature.
CRL checking for TLS connections to LDAP servers
Certicate revocation lists (CRLs) can be uploaded and used to
verify certicates presented by an LDAP server to the VCS when
forming a TLS connection. See Conguring LDAP server settings
for more information.
HTTPS client certicate validation
• The VCS web server can be congured to request a valid client
certicate before establishing an HTTPS session with a client
system (typically a web browser).
• Client certicate revocation lists can be uploaded and used to
verify the client certicate.
See Security certicates for more information.
Clustering
• Improved resilience: cluster conguration replication is more
resilient to network delay.
• TURN server: relay allocation requests are redirected to other
cluster peers if the rst VCS's relays are fully allocated.
Hardware failure warnings
Improved hardware failure detection, warnings and status display.
Auditor account access level
An Auditor access level can be assigned to administrator
accounts and groups. Users with the Auditor privilege can only
access the Overview, Event Log and Conguration Log pages.
Remote account authentication over LDAP
The LDAP server address of the remote directory service can be
specied as a DNS SRV record, thus allowing multiple (primary
and backup) servers to be specied.
Starter Pack
The Starter Pack option key is only available as a pre-congured
factory setting. It is designed for single box deployments and
provides basic device provisioning for registered Movi users,
without the need for TMS. It supports device authentication and
supplies phone book information to provisioned devices.
The Starter Pack includes the following features:
• Expressway
• FindMe
It has the following license restrictions:
• 50 registrations
• 5 calls (any combination of traversal and non-traversal calls)
Note that installing additional call license option keys will have no
effect while the Starter Pack option key is present.
See Provisioning (Starter Pack) for more information.

Using this guide
This Administrator Guide is provided to help you make the best use of your TANDBERG VCS.
Your approach to this documentation depends on what you want to do and how much you already
know.
The Administrator Guide has been divided into several sections, each providing different
information. In some places information is duplicated between sections to let you have all the
relevant information in one place.
This document does not have an index. This is intentional; if the Table of contents does not direct
you to the information you need, you can use the Find function in Adobe Reader to search the text
for keywords.
Note that the Administrator Guide describes a fully equipped version of the VCS. Your version may
not have all the described extensions installed.
Our main objective with this Administrator Guide is to address your goals and needs. Please let us
know how well we succeeded!
How to use this Administrator Guide
Typographical conventions
Most conguration tasks on the VCS can be performed by using either the web interface or a
command line interface (CLI). This guide describes how to use both methods.
Web interface
In this guide, instructions for performing a task using the web interface are shown in the format:
• Menu > Submenu
followed by the Name of the page that you will be taken to.
Command line interface (CLI)
In this guide, instructions for performing a task using the command line interface (CLI) are shown in
the format:
• xConguration <Element> <SubElement>
• xCommand <Command>
These are meant as a reference only. Each command is hyperlinked to the Command reference
table at the back of this guide; clicking on the hyperlink will take you to the appropriate section
of the table showing all the available sub-elements, parameters and valuespaces for the given
command.
Note that:
• Typing the given xConguration path into the CLI will return a list of values currently
congured for that element (and sub-elements where applicable).
• Typing the given xConguration path into the CLI followed by a ? will return information about
the usage for that element and sub-elements.
• Typing the given xCommand command into the CLI with or without a ? will return information
about the usage of that command.

• Administrator and user groups
Case sensitivity
Text items entered through the CLI and web interface are case
insensitive.
The only exception is passwords which are case sensitive.
Command line interface (CLI)
Installation and initial conguration
Full installation and initial conguration instructions for the VCS
are contained in the TANDBERG VCS Getting Started Guide [28}.
Using the CLI
The command line interface (CLI) is available by default over
SSH and through the serial port. Access using Telnet can also be
enabled.
To use the CLI:
1. Start a SSH or Telnet session.
2. Enter the IP address or FQDN of the VCS.
3. Login with a username of admin and your system password.
You will see a screen similar to that shown below. You can now
start using the CLI by typing the appropriate commands.
Command types
Commands are divided into different groups:
xStatus These commands return information
about the current status of the system.
Information such as current calls and
registrations is available through this
command group.
xConguration These commands allow you to add and
edit single items of data such as IP
address and zones.
xCommand These commands allow you to add and
congure items and obtain information.
xHistory These commands provide historical
information about calls and registrations.
xFeedback These commands provide information
about events as they happen, such as
calls and registrations.
See the Command reference Appendix for a full description of
commands available on the VCS.
How CLI commands are shown in this guide
In this guide, instructions for performing a task using the CLI are
shown in the format:
• xConguration <Element> <SubElement>
• xCommand <Command>
These are meant as a reference only. Each command is
hyperlinked to the Command reference table at the back of this
guide; clicking on the hyperlink takes you to the appropriate
section of the table showing all the available sub-elements,
parameters and valuespaces for the given command.
Note that:
• Typing the given xConguration path into the CLI returns a
list of values currently congured for that element (and sub-
elements where applicable).
• Typing the given xConguration path into the CLI followed
by a ? returns information about the usage for that element
and sub-elements.
• Typing the given xCommand command into the CLI with or
without a ? returns command usage information.
