Chapter 3 Installing Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration
Before You Install
•Release 5.3 of the Cisco MeetingPlace system is up and running, including Cisco MeetingPlace audio server and Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing.
•All video endpoints that your organization supports (H.323, SCCP, and ISDN) can successfully participate in video conferences on the Cisco IPVC MCU. Endpoints must be able to join both by dialing in and by having the Cisco IPVC MCU call the endpoint.
Verifying your Video-Conferencing License
Make sure your Cisco MeetingPlace system is licensed for Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration.
The Cisco MeetingPlace MeetingTime utility is fully documented in the Administrator’s Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server Release 5.3.
Step 1 In MeetingTime, click the Configure tab, then click System Options.
Step 2 Click Query.
Step 3 Click the > button until you see Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration.
Step 4 Number of licenses should be 1. If it is 0 (zero) contact your Cisco technical support representative. See the Guide to Cisco Conferencing Documentation and Support.
About Configuring the Cisco IPVC MCU to Use Cisco MeetingPlace
Before you configure the Cisco IPVC MCU for Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration, make sure that the Cisco IPVC MCU is working independently of Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration and can host and manage video conferences.
For detailed information about
All H.323 resources on the Cisco IPVC MCU are dedicated to a single Cisco MeetingPlace service, and Cisco MeetingPlace controls all H.323 resources on the Cisco IPVC MCU. However, conferences can be created using SCCP (SKINNY protocol), and Cisco MeetingPlace does not control those conferences. Cisco IPVC MCU resources will be shared between the Cisco MeetingPlace service and any SCCP services.
The unique service prefix associated with the Cisco MeetingPlace service will be used to route callers to the Cisco IPVC MCU and must not conflict with other routing patterns in the gatekeeper or Cisco CallManager.
The following optional cards for the Cisco IPVC MCU are not supported:
•Rate Matching card
•Data Conferencing card
If your Cisco MeetingPlace audio server is configured to use only G.729, make sure the
Cisco IPVC MCU is configured to support G.729. A transcoder card may be needed. For information about specifying an audio codec, see the online help for the Cisco IPVC MCU.
