Overview
Users using Microsoft Outlook can schedule and manage ICB
conference information using Microsoft Outlook as an alternative to the
Browser User Interface. To access the ICB server, use the following
Microsoft calendar GUIs:
• Microsoft Outlook, version 2000, XP, or 2003.
• Microsoft Exchange, version 5.5, 2000, or 2003.
Since meetings automatically appear in the user’s Outlook calendar,
the user does not have to book the meeting in two places: Browser User
Interface and Microsoft Outlook. Microsoft Outlook sends out e-mail
invitations to all invited parties. When the meeting is created, the
conference DN and password are added to the e-mail invitation. The
chairperson information is not added. This information can be verified
by pressing the Display button.
ICB conferences can be scheduled up to one year in advance.
