About the Cisco MeetingPlace MeetingTime Software Application

Some parameters relevant to Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration can be viewed or modified in Cisco MeetingPlace MeetingTime, the PC-based utility for the Cisco MeetingPlace audio server. For complete information about MeetingTime, see the Administrator’s Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server Release 5.3.

Only parameters in MeetingTime that specify “video” apply to video conferencing.

About Video-Conferencing Access Information

Each video conference is identified by a code that is composed of two numbers:

The service prefix of the service you defined on the Cisco IPVC MCU that is dedicated to Cisco MeetingPlace conferences

The Cisco MeetingPlace Meeting ID

For example, if the Cisco MeetingPlace service prefix is 67 and the Cisco MeetingPlace conference ID of a conference is 1234, then the corresponding video conference is identified as 671234.

Cisco CallManager and the gatekeeper use this number to route participants through the network to the Cisco IPVC MCU, and then the gatekeeper or the Cisco IPVC MCU uses the Meeting ID part of this number to direct callers to the correct conference.
