Before You Install

Configuring Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway

The Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway connects the Cisco MeetingPlace system to the network. Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway also initiates the call that connects the Cisco MeetingPlace audio server with the Cisco IPVC MCU.

•If your MeetingPlace system currently supports Cisco IP telephony, you do not need to make further changes to the Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway.

•If your network includes Cisco CallManager and you have not yet configured the Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway and Cisco CallManager to route calls to each other, see instructions in the Administrator’s Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway Release 5.2.1.

•If Cisco CallManager is not part of your network environment, MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway can register itself directly to the H.323 gatekeeper. For instructions on configuring the

Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway for use with an H.323 gatekeeper, see the Administrator’s Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway Release 5.2.1. If it is correctly configured, the H.323/SIP IP Gateway appears in the endpoint registration table in the gatekeeper.

If your Cisco MeetingPlace system includes more than one Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway, and if the gateways are connecting to a gatekeeper, the E.164 number of each MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway must be unique. (The E.164 numbers do not need to be unique if they connect to Cisco CallManager.)

Step 1 If the Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway is not already connected to your network, use the information in this section to configure all necessary components.

Configuring Load-Balancing Configurations for Video Conferencing

In Cisco MeetingPlace deployments for large numbers of users, multiple

Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing servers can be configured in clusters, and meetings are distributed among the servers in a cluster. However, you can install

Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration on only one of those Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing servers, and meetings that include video conferencing must be held on that server.

Meetings that are scheduled with video ports are automatically held on the server that has

Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration installed on it. However, in order to ensure that ad-hoc video conferences can occur, configure Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing so that meetings that are scheduled by users whose profiles allow them to schedule video conferences are always hosted on the server that has Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration installed on it.

If your Cisco MeetingPlace system is configured for load balancing, set the system to allow ad-hoc video conferencing.

Note Perform the following steps even if Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration is not installed on a server in a cluster that includes load balancing.

Step 1 Sign in to the Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing interface using your System Manager password.
