1.1 Who is it for?
This guide is for TANDBERG personnel who need to install and configure a TANDBERG Compliance
Appliance™ (TCA) to enable an organization to record video conferences. It explains the process you
need to go through to gather information and make decisions about how best to configure TCA.
This guide assumes that you are an experienced in video conferencing and have a working knowledge
of:
video conferencing and related IT concepts
the TANDBERG video conferencing solution, specifically the Video Communication Server (VCS)
how to configure VCS systems by editing policy files.
1.2 When to use it
Use this guide in combination with the
Compliance Appliance Getting Started Guide
and the
Compliance
Appliance Release Notes
when you are installing a TCA.
This guide will help you to work out how best to configure the TCA to meet an organization’s
compliance needs. Every organization will have its own reasons for recording video conferences and
will be operating in different (and potentially multiple) regulatory environments.
By following the steps in this guide you will be able to form a complete picture of exactly what degree
of video conference compliance an organization needs and how best to configure TCA to deliver this.
