A Tandberg MXP T150 was added to the network today. The T150 is similar to that pictured on http://www.tandberg.com/products/video_systems/tandberg_150_mxp.jsp but without the telephone handset. It was initially configured to contact the corporate gatekeeper and so this was changed to point to the lab environment.
Using the Exchange Integration Init as described on page 24 of the Tandberg Exchange Integration Installation Manual, the end point was added as a domain user. This allows the end point to be booked as a resource via Outlook Calendar. As described on page 27, the user is configured to automatically allow meeting requests. When I logged on as the newly created user, there was an email in the Outlook inbox explaining this. The setting is “Automatically accept meeting requests and process cancellations”. This can be found on the resource scheduling settings of the Outlook calendar options. The Office online help page http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HP052432221033.aspx shows the steps. In this instance, the option had been set correctly though a warning on page 27 suggests this might not always be the case.
At this point the video end point is known to TMS as a video end point and to Exhange as a bookable resource.
