Step 6 Return to the main Admin page and click Site.

The Site administrative page appears.

Step 7 Click the Site Name that represents your cluster of internal web servers.

•There should only be one site indicated on this page unless you deployed WebConnect.

•Site Name should have a default value equal to the NetBIO name of the first web server you installed in this cluster.

Step 8 For DMZ Web Server, choose the external web server you just added.

This configures the internal web servers in this cluster to point to this external web server in the case of external meetings.

Step 9 Click Submit.

Tip The external cluster does not require any additional SQL Server database configurations.

Configuring Ad-Hoc Video Meetings

Ad-hoc video meetings are controlled by a setting on the Site administrative page. This setting is called “Allow Web Load Balancing in Ad Hoc Video Meetings” and defaults to No.

When set to No, the system forces all meetings scheduled by users with video scheduling privileges on the video-enabled web server. Therefore, if the user wants to start an ad-hoc video meeting, resources are available. We recommend this setting.

When you choose Yes, if a user with video scheduling privileges schedules a zero-video-port meeting, it is load-balanced across all appropriate servers. Video features therefore depend on whether the web portion of the meeting lands on the web server with the video integration installed. If it does, ad-hoc video works successfully. If it does not, video features are not available from the meeting console.

Restrictions

If you have Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Video Integration installed in a web server cluster that does not have load balancing configured, leave “Allow Web Load Balancing in Ad Hoc Video Meetings” set to No.
