Chapter 2 Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3

Preinstallation Tasks: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3

Table 2-2 Gathering Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Installation Values

Description

The MeetingPlace Server hostname.

 

This parameter refers to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system hostname. If you are installing

 

multiple web servers that share a database and point to the same Audio Server system, make sure that the audio

 

server hostname on all of these web servers match.

 

Note If a connection exists between the web server and the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server

 

system—that is, if there is no firewall between them, port 5003 is not blocked, and the audio server

 

system is up and running—then you can use an IP address instead of a hostname. However, using an IP

 

address prevents you from taking advantage of the audio server system’s reverse connection feature,

 

which allows the audio server system to initiate a connection to the web server when port 5003 is

 

blocked inbound.

Value

Hostname:

 

IP address:

Description

The location of the web server.

Internal (Full Access)

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is installed with all features enabled and this server is placed inside your corporate network. In Segmented Meeting Access-2 Server (SMA-2S) deployments, this server functions as the internal web server.

External (Limited Access)

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is installed with attend-only capability. In SMA-2S deployments, this server is placed outside your corporate firewall in an Internet-accessible network, such as a DMZ, and functions as the external web server.

Both

Depending on your release of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing, you may see this option referred to as Both (Full Access) or Both (SMA-1S).

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is installed on a single machine, but configured to host two websites. One website provides a full-access user interface to internal users while the second website provides attend-only access to Internet users. This server is placed in the DMZ and is the definition of a Segmented Meeting Access-1 Server (SMA-1S) deployment.

 

 

 

Note While the Both configuration has some security benefits, we strongly recommend the SMA-2S

 

 

 

deployment for maximum security.
