Integration with services

TrueConf Group supports integration with various services and provides additional features when connecting to other TrueConf solutions.

TrueConf MCU

Integration with the TrueConf MCU video conferencing mixing server allows 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. Using the remote control, navigate to the Configuration → 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);

   • username and password, to allow the terminal to connect and download the address book.

4. To apply the changes, click Synchronize under .

When synchronization is disabled, scheduled conferences and contacts uploaded from TrueConf MCU are removed from the terminal's address book. To restore them, synchronization must be reactivated and the address book updated.

TrueConf Server

If integration with TrueConf Server is enabled, you can import the contacts of the specified server user to the TrueConf Group address book.

1. Go to Configuration → Integration → TrueConf Server.

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 contacts with TrueConf Server.

4. To apply the changes, click Synchronize under .

When the required fields are filled out, the address book of the selected user will be imported to the Address book → TrueConf Server section of the endpoint.

If synchronization is disabled, the contacts imported from TrueConf Server will be deleted from the endpoint address book. To bring them back, one should enable synchronization again, and update the address book.

Email

Integration with the email service allows you to receive TrueConf Group invitations to conferences scheduled on TrueConf Server and display them in the calendar on the device screen.

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

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

2. Activate the Enable Email 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 the first successful retrieval of emails from the above-mentioned mailbox, you will see a list of upcoming events in the TrueConf Group calendar.

LDAP

The TrueConf Group terminal allows you to use the LDAP directory service. To configure integration with the LDAP server, go to the section.

1. Activate the Use 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 under .

After a successful connection to LDAP, the sections User Schema and Group Schema will be available to you, where you can specify the necessary parameters in the fields. The content of the fields depends on the parameters used in your LDAP server.
