Chapter 2 - Installation and Configuration

Table 2-2: MGC Personal Scheduler Configuration Fields

Field

Description

 

 

Port Number

Enter the Port number of the computer on which the

 

Personal Scheduler server is installed.

 

The Port number automatically gets written to the

 

server.txt file, which is part of the client installation

 

files. It is distributed to all end-users and is used by

 

the client application to connect to the Personal

 

Scheduler Server.

 

Note: When Polycom WebOffice software is

 

installed the port number settings in the Web Server

 

Manager change to 5005. In that case, in the Web

 

Server Manager you are required to manually

 

change the MGC Personal Scheduler Configuration

 

port settings to 5006.

 

 

Preferences

 

 

 

Enable MCU

When this check box is selected, an MCU list

Selection

appears in the Polycom Office window when

 

creating a new Appointment or Meeting in Outlook.

 

This list contains ‘Auto’ and a list of connected

 

MCUs. When ‘Auto’ is selected, the system selects

 

the MCU according to the order in which they are

 

defined in the MCU table in the MGC Server

 

Manager.

 

 

Enable Dial Out

When this check box is selected, the user can select

 

dial-out endpoints. When the conference starts the

 

MCU will call these endpoints.

 

 

Enable Numeric

When this check box is selected, the conference

Conference Name

name can be numerical. This is an advantage for

 

dial-in IP endpoints that do not accept alphabetic

 

strings.

 

If this check box is cleared, the conference name

 

can only be alphabetical.

 

 

Allow Undefined

When this check box is selected, any user with the

Users

MGC Personal Scheduler can schedule a

 

conference. If this check box is cleared, only users

 

that are predefined on the Server Manager can

 

schedule conferences.
