| The CVS Scheduling Desk has changed! |
|
CalREN Video Services (CVS) is transitioning to the new CVS Scheduling Desk during the month of June 2006. Powered by the Polycom Conference Suite, the CVS Scheduling Desk, will give campus videoconference administrators the ability to schedule their own videoconferences directly. Videoconference administrators will be able to select videoconference facilities from a list, create recurring conferences, and manage existing conferences, including changing conference dates, times, and participant sites. During June, we recommend all videoconference administrators take advantage of CENIC's online training, which can be found at http://training.cenic.org/. You'll need a userid and password to access the training courses. To obtain a userid, please contact CENIC at your earliest convenience by sending email to SchedDesk@cenic.org. Be sure to get started right away so you can begin to enjoy the added features and flexibility of the new CVS Scheduling Desk. When you have completed your training, please contact CENIC to obtain a videoconference scheduler's username and password to access the new CVS Scheduling Desk. A tutorial document — The CalREN Video Services Scheduling Desk — is available for download as well. If you have obtained a userid and password, you must contact CENIC at scheddesk@cenic.org or (714) 220-3415 to provide us with the public IP address or subnet for your client. You will not be able to access the CVS Scheduling Desk otherwise as it is firewalled for security reasons. Once this has been done, you may: PLEASE NOTE: After June 30, the old 6-month schedule will no longer be available, and all videoconference administrators will be required to use the new CVS Scheduling Desk. |
