Using TMS to schedule
ITV conferences.
1) Point your browser (Firefox or Internet
Explorer: Chrome does not currently
work) to:
2) To schedule a conference hover over
‘Booking’
3) In the list that drops down select ‘New
Conference’
4) Under Basic settings you can title the
conference and set its type. Always
use ‘Automatic Connect’. Use
conventions to schedule classes and
meetings.
5) Set start and end times and duration
will set itself.
6) Under ‘Advanced Settings’ you can set
the picture mode, and bandwidth. We
don’t use ISDN, and secure is always
set to ‘If Possible’. If scheduling any
ITV-1 (or any NMC) node, bandwidth
must be set to 768 kbps. Choose Voice
Switched or Continuous Presence for
Picture Mode, depending on what the
instructor or meeting planner has
requested.
7) Click the ‘Add participants’ button to…
add… participants.
8) Select the ‘nodes’ you want to
participate in the conference. If a node
appears in red, it is already scheduled
for your selected times. Always select
the ‘bridge’ node as it is required to
run the conference. When ready, click
 ‘ok’ at the bottom.
9) You may also set the conference to
reoccur daily, weekly, or monthly
under the ‘Recurrence Settings…’
button to the right.
10) Once the recurrence settings window
pops up (ensure popups are enabled)
choose how often you’d like the
conference to occur.
11) Further options will pop up. You may
set the conference to reoccur a set
number of times, until a specific date,
every weekday, or every couple of
days. This is very flexible. Once you
are happy with the reoccurrence
settings select ‘OK’ at the bottom of
the popup window.
It is not necessary to set reoccurrence
at all. You may bypass steps 9
through 10 if the conference will not
reoccur.
12) Your participants will now appear
under the ‘Participants’ tab. Again, if
any are red, they are in use for your
selected time.
13) Next, set the ‘site of origin’. This is
the node which will control the
conference. In the picture below, it is
set to Bullhead, ITV-1.
14)Next, select the ‘MCU Settings’ tab.
Under this tab there are several more
settings.
15)First, ensure that the layout selected
matches that which the conference
planner or instructor has requested.
The most common setting for ITV-2
classes is ‘3+1 Split Left’. For ITV-1
classes use ‘Full Screen’. For ITV-1
meetings use ‘Conference Picture
Mode’.
Leave ‘Multicast Streaming Enabled’
and ‘Conference SIP registration’ both
 set to ‘Off’

16) To the right you’ll see ‘Visibility’,

‘Unicast Streaming Enabled’, and
‘Allow chair control’. These are all left
at their defaults. Do not change them.

17) Further to the right are ‘Dual Video

Stream’, and ‘Register With
Gatekeeper’. Change the Gatekeeper
setting to a value of ‘Off’. See picture
below.

18) Once you have completed these

steps, save the conference by clicking
the ‘Save Conference’ button at the
bottom left of the window.
