Introduction
This document describes the Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Extension for IBM Lotus Notes
(Cisco TMSXN) installation process. The software is an optional add-on component to Cisco
TelePresence Management Suite (Cisco TMS), which gives users the ability to schedule video
conferences, book meeting rooms and invite participants using their Lotus Notes client. The video
conferencing systems are registered in a resource database on the Domino server, allowing end users
to view their availability when making bookings.
The extension uses software components installed on the Lotus Domino server. Therefore, client
machines do not need to be modified. This gives system administrators a centrally deployed solution,
simplifying maintenance.
See

for more information about IBM Lotus Domino and IBM Lotus Notes.
