Integration with services

TrueConf Group supports integration with a range of services and offers additional features when connecting to the TrueConf ecosystem.

TrueConf Server

When integrated with TrueConf Server, you can import the corporate contact directory and scheduled conferences of the specified video communication server user into the TrueConf Group address book. This includes using TrueConf Calendar Connector and MS Exchange.

1. Go to the Settings → Integration → TrueConf Server section.

2. Activate the Enable TrueConf Server option.

3. Specify the following information in the server connection fields:

   • server (IP or domain name);

   • TrueConf ID (username) of the person whose address book should be imported

   • user's password;

   • Check interval - the time period for synchronizing conferences and contacts with TrueConf Server.

4. To apply the changes, click Synchronize in the Conferences and contacts section.

Afterward, the address book of the specified user will be imported into the Contacts → TrueConf Server section of the terminal.

When synchronization is disabled, the contacts imported from TrueConf Server are removed from the terminal's address book. To restore them, you should reactivate synchronization and update the address book.

TrueConf MCU

Integration with the mixing video conferencing server TrueConf MCU enables you to display scheduled conferences on the main screen and import a list of contacts from the MCU into the TrueConf Group address book.

To do it:

1. Go to the Settings → Integration → TrueConf MCU section.

2. Activate the Enable TrueConf MCU option.

3. Specify the following information in TrueConf MCU connection fields:

   • server (IP or domain name);

   • the user's name and password for the terminal to connect and download the address book.

4. To apply the changes, click Synchronize in the Contacts section.

When synchronization is disabled, scheduled conferences and contacts imported from TrueConf MCU are removed from the terminal's address book. To restore them, reactivate synchronization and refresh the address book.

Email

Integration with the email service allows you to receive TrueConf Group invitations to conferences or SIP calls. It is important that they are sent in iCalendar format (.ics) with the LOCATION field containing the URI for connection or call, respectively. Invitations are displayed on the device screen calendar.

At first, it is necessary to configure the reception of invitation emails:

1. Using the remote control, navigate to the section Settings → Integration → Email.

2. Activate the Enable email client option.

3. Enter the following information in the mail service connection fields:

   • Mail service address

   • Email box address to which conference invitations will be directed

   • Username (login) and password for the email box

   • The protocol used for receiving the invitation emails from the mail service (additional configurations may be needed on the side of the mail service)

   • The time interval for checking if new email invitations have been received.

After successfully receiving the first emails from the specified mailbox, you will see a list of upcoming events in the TrueConf Group calendar.

LDAP

The TrueConf Group terminal allows the use of the LDAP directory service. To configure integration with the LDAP server, go to Settings → Integration → LDAP:

1. Activate the Enable LDAP option.

2. Select Synchronization interval.

3. In the fields for connecting to the video conferencing LDAP server, specify:

   • host name, port, and domain;

   • authentication method;

   • distinguished name (DN);

   • username and password.

4. To apply the changes, click Synchronize in the Contacts section.

After successfully connecting to LDAP, the User schema and Group schema tabs will be available, where you can specify the required parameters in the fields. By default, the group schema follows the ITU-T H.350 standard. The content of the fields depends on the parameters used in your LDAP server.
