Parameter

 

Description and Value

 

 

Hostname of MeetingPlace

This parameter refers to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system hostname.

Server

 

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 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.
