Step 5 If you change any of the following, make the corresponding changes in

Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration, as described in Changing Values Entered During Installation of Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration, page 4-3:

•The service prefix you specified on the Cisco IPVC MCU that identifies Cisco MeetingPlace conferences

Step 6 Restart the Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing service. This will restart all necessary services.

About Managing Video-Conferencing Resources

Video-conferencing capacity (the number of video conferences and the total number of ports available at one time) is determined by the Cisco IPVC MCU hardware and settings. For complete details about these settings, see the Cisco IP/VC 3511 MCU and Cisco IP/VC 3540 MCU Module Administrator Guide, Version 3.2 and Cisco IP/VC 3511 MCU and Cisco IP/VC 3540 MCU Module Release Notes for Release 3.5.

Several factors affect video-conferencing resource availability. Manage the availability of ports and conferences by doing one or more of the following:

•Configuring the MeetingPlace service on the Cisco IPVC MCU to use nonresource-intensive features. For information, see the Cisco IP/VC 3511 MCU and Cisco IP/VC 3540 MCU Module Administrator Guide, Version 3.2 and Cisco IP/VC 3511 MCU and Cisco IP/VC 3540 MCU Module Release Notes for Release 3.5. For example, on the Settings > Basics page, set the Number of SCCP ports to 0.

•Changing the number of video floater ports available. See About Configuring the Number of Video Floater Ports, page 4-7.

•Changing the number of video overbook ports available. See (Optional) Configuring the Number of Overbook Ports, page 4-8.

•Raising or lowering the default and maximum number of video ports users can schedule. See Table 4-2 on page 4-5.

•Restricting user access to video-conferencing resources. See About Managing User Profiles for Video Use, page 4-10.

•Modifying the default bandwidth of participant connections. See About Managing User Profiles for Video Use, page 4-10.

Table 4-2contains conference and port parameters. For more information about MeetingTime, see the Administrator’s Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server Release 5.3.
