About Configuring Port Parameters

After Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration is up and running, configure the following before users begin to schedule meetings that include video conferencing:

Number of floater ports

Number of overbook ports

To determine the optimal number of floater and overbook ports for your system, use the information in the following subsections and the values in the preceding table.

About Configuring the Number of Video Floater Ports

Floater ports are ports that cannot be scheduled in advance. They are a configurable subset of the total number of ports available on the system. Video floater ports are used differently than audio floater ports.

When Cisco MeetingPlace seeks available video ports to establish the link between the Cisco MeetingPlace audio server and the Cisco IPVC MCU, or to accommodate unscheduled conferences or participants, or to extend a meeting, it first uses available video-conferencing ports that can be scheduled. If video-conferencing ports that can be scheduled are not available, or if additional ports are required, Cisco MeetingPlace uses available video floater ports, if there are any.

The total number of video floater ports that you configure includes:

The minimum number of video floater ports that Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration requires in order to function

An optional number of video floater ports that you make available to conference participants on a first come, first served basis
