The CalREN Video Services Scheduling Desk

CalREN Video Services (CVS) transitioned to the new CVS Scheduling Desk during the summer of 2006. Powered by the Polycom Conference Suite (version 7.5.1), the CVS Scheduling Desk gives campus videoconference administrators the ability to schedule their own videoconferences directly. Videoconference administrators are able to select videoconference facilities from a list, create recurring conferences, and manage existing conferences, including changing conference dates, times, and participant sites.

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) 220-3465 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.
