TrueConf Server Name is a symbolic name designed to identify TrueConf Server in a network. The server name can be used to run video conferences with users of federated TrueConf Server instances or for SIP/H.323 endpoint integration (e.g. Polycom endpoints).
How to set server name
Server name is generated automatically in the control panel upon TrueConf Server registration. Standard server name has the following format: <server_id>.trueconf.name#vcs, where <server_id> is server ID. Server name can be changed; instead, you can set domain name for your TrueConf Server instance.
Upon successful registration the server name is shown in the upper part of TrueConf Server control panel:
How to use server name to connect with other TrueConf Server instances
When creating an account on TrueConf Server, the user gains TrueConf ID that includes server name (assigned automatically). For example, TrueConf ID of the user nataly on the server server.company.com will look like: nataly@server.company.com.
Thanks to this format you can identify users of federated TrueConf Server instances.
Federation is available for all paid TrueConf Server licenses. Separate license is not required.
To enable federation, TrueConf Server must be accessible for other TrueConf Server instances by its name, while its name has to contain its existing domain account.
