2.Configuring Network Settings on the Cisco MCS Server, page 2-5

3.Installing Web Conferencing, page 2-9

Installing the Operating System on the Cisco MCS Server

Before you begin, confirm that your system meets the network and system requirements. (Refer to System Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/prod_installation_guides_list.html.)

To Install the Operating System on the Cisco MCS Server

Step 1 Dedicate a networked Cisco MCS on which to install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing. Step 2 Install the required Cisco MCS operating system on the Cisco MCS server.

The operating system CD was shipped with your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace application software.

Follow the installation procedure in Installing the Operating System on the Cisco Unified Communications Server (version 2003.1.1 or later), which is included with the operating system software. Although the document refers to Cisco Unified CallManager and other applications, it also applies to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace integration applications.

Note Return to this document before performing the Post-Installation Tasks in Installing the Operating System on the Cisco Unified Communications Server (version 2003.1.1 or later).

Step 3 Continue with the next section, “Configuring Network Settings on the Cisco MCS Server”.

Configuring Network Settings on the Cisco MCS Server

Once the operating system is installed, you must configure the network interfaces. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing has the following networking requirements:

Two separate IP addresses are required.

The IP addresses must be on the same network segment. (Both must be connected to the same Layer 3 subnet and the same Layer 2 Ethernet broadcast domain.)

The two IP interfaces cannot share the same hostname or be aliased to each other in DNS. (Hostnames are only required if the server will be configured for Secure Sockets Layer.)

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing supports assigning the two required IP addresses by using the following Network Interface Card (NIC) configurations:
