Parameter

 

Description and Value

 

 

Hostname of MeetingPlace

This parameter refers to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system hostname.

Server

 

If you are installing multiple web servers that share a database and point to the same Audio

 

 

Server system, make sure that the Audio Server hostname on all of these web servers

 

 

match.

 

 

Note If a connection exists between the web server and the Audio Server system—that

 

 

is, if there is no firewall between them, port 5003 is not blocked, and the Audio

 

 

Server system is up and running—then you can use an IP address instead of a

 

 

hostname. However, using an IP address prevents you from taking advantage of the

 

 

Audio Server system’s reverse connection feature, which allows the Audio Server

 

 

system to initiate a connection to the web server when port 5003 is blocked

 

 

inbound.

Location of web server

Internal (Full Access)—Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is installed

 

with all features enabled, and this server is placed inside your corporate network. In

 

Segmented Meeting Access-2 Server (SMA-2S) deployments, this server functions as

 

the internal web server.

 

External (Limited Access)—Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is

 

installed with attend-only capability. In SMA-2S deployments, this server is placed

 

outside your corporate firewall in an Internet-accessible network, such as a DMZ, and

 

functions as the external web server.

 

(For more information on SMA configurations, see the “Installing Web Conferencing for

 

a Segmented Meeting Access Configuration” chapter.)
