1.Users submit requests to schedule meetings, change their profile, and join meetings.

2.ISAPI processes user requests for the Cisco MeetingPlace Agent Service and generates HTML pages to display to users for meeting scheduling, meeting details, and account update pages.

3.When users join a meeting, their meeting consoles connect to the Flash Media Server on the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing server.

4.The Agent Service manages all user requests from ISAPI and accomplishes the following:

Passes the scheduling requests and profile updates to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system.

Coordinates between the meeting room components (Connect Gateway, Connect Application Service, Flash Media Administration Server, and Flash Media Server) and the rest of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system.

Acts as a communication channel between the Audio Server system and the Video Service. For information about the Video Service, refer to the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Video Integration.)
