Introduction

VQ Conference Manager – Device Management & Automation (DMA)1 DMA is an extension to the existing Cisco recommended VQ Conference Manager platform. is designed as a replacement for Cisco TelePresence Management Server (TMS) deployed ‘on-premises’ as part of a Cisco Meeting Server and Cisco videoconferencing devices eco-system2 DMA supports Cisco collaboration devices running the CE/RoomOS operating system..

DMA tooling is also provided for the ability to import all your current templates from your existing TMS environment.

When DMA is enabled, a new URL (https://servername.domain/dma/) has been added to the CM-Admin list to enable users to directly access DMA.

There are no additional servers to install or major configuration differences, other than the need to specify the user profiles and ACLs for access to the DMA functionality.

The End Point Agent (EPA) introduced in version 3.9.0 to deliver OBTP messages to Cisco video endpoints (Devices) has been expanded to ‘talk’ in more detail to devices using the Cisco Collaboration Endpoint Software API.
