Meeting Type

Radio buttons provide a choice of MeetMe, Rendezvous, Remote, or Two Party Direct.

•MeetMe meeting—System reserves media resources for the meeting. The meeting can include provisioned endpoints, unprovisioned endpoints, and remote endpoints. By default, One-Button-to-Push (OBTP) information is displayed at locally provisioned endpoints unless you uncheck the Push OBTP check box.

•Rendezvous—A meeting that does not have a preconfigured start time. Participants can join the meeting at any time. When one or more participants join a Rendezvous meeting, an instance of the meeting is created and the meeting is considered active.

•Remote meeting—System does not reserve media resources for the meeting (the remote Cisco TelePresence Exchange System provides the media resources). OBTP information is displayed at locally provisioned endpoints. A remote meeting involves an inter-service provider participant.

•Two Party Direct—System does not reserve media resources, because this type of meeting is direct-dialed. However, you can specify the service provider, scheduler, and meeting details (start time and duration).

Note You can set up a two party direct meeting for two separate organizations, as long as both organizations are on the same Cisco TelePresence Manager.

Subject

Text description of the meeting.

Start Time

Date, start time, and time zone of the meeting.

Text field or calendar to specify the date.
Text field to specify the hour.
Drop-down list to choose AM or PM.
Drop-down list to choose the time zone.

Note The Cisco TelePresence Exchange System reserves resources based on fifteen-minute increments on the hour (for example, 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, or 9:45). Choose a start time consistent with these time periods. For example, choose a start time of 9:30 am or 9:45 am rather than 9:40 am.

Duration

Duration of the meeting in minutes.

Note The Cisco TelePresence Exchange System reserves resources based on fifteen-minute increments on the hour (for example, 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, or 9:45). Choose a duration consistent with these increments. For example, choose a duration of 30 or 45 minutes rather than 35 minutes.

Service Provider

Drop-down list of service providers. Choose the service provider that will host this meeting.

Scheduler

Email address of the contact person for the meeting. When you enter this information, it is displayed on the telepresence IP phone during the meeting. This is useful if there is an issue with the meeting.

Scheduler's Organization

Drop-down list of the available organizations. Choose the organization of the scheduler to apply to the meeting.

This field is required to enable service provider and organization inheritance capabilities. Some settings, such as automatic meeting extension and host settings, can be inherited. You can configure Meet-Me and Rendezvous meetings to inherit the settings from the meeting scheduler organization. Likewise, you can configure the organization to inherit the settings from the service provider. Service provider-level settings will be overridden if the inheritance option is not enabled at the organization level, and organization-level settings will be overridden if the inheritance option is not enabled at the meeting level.

The scheduler organization is also used to determine the whitelist policy to apply to intra- and inter-service provider calls.

Reservation Type

Drop-down list of reservation types. Choose the reservation type to apply to the meeting. The reservation type determines whether the system provides guaranteed or best-effort service when reserving media bridge resources for the meeting, and the system selects a resource group based on the reservation type and other meeting parameters.

Region

Drop-down list of regions. Choose the region where the meeting will be hosted. The system reserves media resources at a media POP in this region.

Service Number Name

Drop-down list of service number names. Choose the name of the service number that users dial to reach the service for the meeting.

Note The service number that you choose also determines which set of IVR prompts play to attendees in response to certain conditions, such as joining or leaving the meeting, being prompted for the conference ID or host PIN, or encountering problems.

Provisioned Endpoints

Endpoints for which all configuration details (such as name, phone number, number of screens, and organization) are known by the administrator and configured on the system.

Click Add Provisioned Endpoints to add an endpoint and configure the following values:

•Endpoint Organization—Drop-down list of organizations that are associated with the Service Provider configured for the meeting.

•Endpoint Name—Drop-down list of endpoints associated with the Endpoint Organization.

•Ports—Number of segments of organization bandwidth that the endpoint requires. The default value is zero. (The Max Ports setting for the organization determines the sum total amount of bandwidth that the organization endpoints can consume at a given time.)

•Dial Out—Check this check box to have the system dial out to reach the endpoint.

•Host—Check this check box to designate this endpoint as a host. Applicable only when the host and guest roles are enabled.

To add an additional endpoint, click Add Provisioned Endpoints again.

Unprovisioned Endpoints

Endpoint for which no configuration details are known by the administrator except the name of the meeting scheduler for that endpoint.

Click Add Unprovisioned Endpoints to add an unprovisioned endpoint and configure the following values:

•Bandwidth-Providing Organization—Drop-down list of organizations that are associated with the Service Provider configured for the meeting.

•Ports—Number of segments of organization bandwidth that the endpoint requires. The default value is zero. (The Max Ports setting for the organization determines the sum total amount of bandwidth that the organization endpoints can consume at a given time.)

•Guest Dial Out—Check this check box to have the system dial out to reach the endpoint.

•Number—Number that the system must dial to reach the endpoint.

•Media Profile— (Optional) If the system is dialing out to the endpoint, you can specify the media profile in order to tailor the bridge selection and capacity calculation to your needs. The default assumption is a single-screen H.323 media profile.

To add an additional endpoint, click Add Unprovisioned Endpoints again.

Remote Endpoints

Reserves capacity for a remote endpoint for an inter-service provider participant. No additional data is visible or configurable for this type of endpoint.

To reserve capacity for a remote endpoint, click Add Remote Endpoints. A Remote Endpoint entry is displayed on the window.

No additional configuration is possible.

Additional Media Profiles

Allows you to specify additional media profiles so that the Cisco TelePresence Exchange System can choose the correct bridge resource type on which to reserve the meeting based on the capacity and capabilities required by unexpected or unspecified endpoints that may join the meeting. For example, if only CTS endpoints are added to a meeting, the system will try to reserve CTMS resources for the meeting. If you add the built-in Default Generic H.323 media profile, then the system will try to reserve a TPS resource or MSE 8510.

To choose a media profile to include in the meeting, click Add Media Profiles.

Meeting Extension

Radio buttons provide a choice of Disabled, Enabled, or Inherit from Organization.

•Disabled—The system does not automatically extend the meeting, regardless of resource availability.

•Enabled—The system automatically extends the meeting if resources are available near the end of the meeting. The system checks for available resources shortly before the two minute end-of-meeting warning. If sufficient resources are available, the meeting continues for the length of time specified in the Meeting Extension Period field, and may extend again near the end of that period if the number of extensions specified by Max Meeting Extensions Allowed has not been exceeded. If the extension fails, the system displays the two minute end-of-meeting warning to participants, and ends the meeting after two minutes.

•Inherit from Organization—Use the Meeting Extension settings configured for the Scheduler's Organization. The organization may be configured to inherit these settings from the service provider to which the organization belongs.

Note You can configure the meeting extension policy at the service provider level, organization level, or meeting level. The policy is hierarchical, so you can configure a meeting to inherit its settings from the meeting scheduler organization. In addition, you can configure an organization to inherit its settings from the service provider. If you want a meeting to inherit organization settings, you must enable the inheritance option at the meeting level. Similarly, if you want an organization to inherit service provider settings, you must enable the inheritance option at the organization level.

Meeting Extension Period (minutes)

Available only if Meeting Extension is set to Enabled.

Specify the length by which to automatically extend the meeting if resources are available when the meeting nears its configured duration. The extension length must be a multiple of 15 (for example, 15, 30 or 45).

Max Meeting Extensions Allowed

Available only if Meeting Extension is set to Enabled.

Specify the maximum number of times the meeting can be extended if resources are available. The maximum number of extensions times the Meeting Extension Period must not exceed 1440 minutes (24 hours).

Note If an administrator or service desk user extends the meeting duration while the meeting is active, the extension counter is reset, and the next extension after the change is counted as the first extension.

Enable Host/Guest Roles

Check box. Check this check box to enable host and guest options for the meeting.

Drop Participants On Host Exit

Applicable only when Enable Host/Guest Roles is checked.

Radio buttons provide a choice of the following conditions.

•False—The system does not drop any participants when the host leaves the meeting.

•True—The system drops all participants from the meeting when the host leaves. If the meeting has more than one host, participants will be dropped when all hosts have left the meeting.

•Inherit from Organization—Use the host and guest settings configured for the organization.

Note You can configure the host settings at the service provider level, organization level, or meeting level. The policy is hierarchical, so you can configure a Meet-Me or Rendezvous meeting to inherit its settings from the meeting scheduler organization. In addition, you can configure an organization to inherit its settings from the service provider. If you want a meeting to inherit organization settings, you must enable the inheritance option at the meeting level. Similarly, if you want an organization to inherit service provider settings, you must enable the inheritance option at the organization level.

Host PIN

Applicable only when Enable Host/Guest Roles is checked.

Radio buttons provides the following choices:

•Auto-Generate—The system creates a host PIN that a participant must enter to join the meeting as a host.

•Customize—The meeting scheduler specifies a custom host PIN that a participant must enter to join the meeting as a host.

Custom Host PIN

Applicable only when Enable Host/Guest Roles is checked, and Customize is selected for the Host PIN.

The PIN that a participant must enter to join the meeting as a host. The PIN must be 6 digits long.

Additional Capacity

Number of additional segments of media bridge capacity that the system needs to reserve for the meeting.

Use this field to allocate media bridge resources for endpoints that are not configured to be part of the meeting but that you expect to join the meeting.

To determine how many segments to add for each endpoint, use the following guidelines, depending on which media resource provides the meeting bridge:

•Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch—Add 4 segments for each three-screen endpoint and 2 segments for each single-screen endpoint.

•Cisco TelePresence Server MSE 8710—Add 3 segments for each three-screen endpoint and 1 segment for each single-screen endpoint.

•Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8510—Add 1 segment. The MCU MSE 8510 supports only single-screen endpoints.

Note The Additional Capacity field does not affect the amount of organization bandwidth that is reserved for the meeting. Organization bandwidth is determined by the value of the Ports field that is configured for each provisioned and unprovisioned endpoint that is added to the meeting.

For more information on capacity reservation and bridge selection, see "Organization Bandwidth, Endpoint Capacity, Protocols and Bridge Selection."

Conference ID

Text field. Enter a unique, eight-digit conference ID for users to dial to reach this meeting.

Note The Conference ID is optional. If you do not enter an ID, the system will generate one for you.

Push OBTP

Check box. Check the check box if you want the system to send One-Button-to-Push (OBTP) information to the IP phones in the rooms that are associated with the provisioned endpoints.

Custom Screen Layout (Used on MSE 8510)

For meetings on MSE 8510, select the screen layout used to display participant video.

Meeting Type

Radio buttons provide a choice of MeetMe, Rendezvous, Remote, or Two Party Direct.

•MeetMe meeting—System reserves media resources for the meeting. The meeting can include provisioned endpoints, unprovisioned endpoints, and remote endpoints. By default, One-Button-to-Push (OBTP) information is displayed at locally provisioned endpoints unless you uncheck the Push OBTP check box.

•Rendezvous—A meeting that does not have a preconfigured start time. Participants can join the meeting at any time. When one or more participants join a Rendezvous meeting, an instance of the meeting is created and the meeting is considered active.

•Remote meeting—System does not reserve media resources for the meeting (the remote Cisco TelePresence Exchange System provides the media resources). OBTP information is displayed at locally provisioned endpoints. A remote meeting involves an inter-service provider participant.

•Two Party Direct—System does not reserve media resources, because this type of meeting is direct-dialed. However, you can specify the service provider, scheduler, and meeting details (start time and duration).

Note You can set up a two party direct meeting for two separate organizations, as long as both organizations are on the same Cisco TelePresence Manager.

The reservation type determines whether the system provides a guaranteed or best-effort level of service when reserving media bridge resources for the meeting.

For more information about reservation types, see the "Configuring Reservation Types" section.

Maximum Meeting Instance Duration

Maximum length of any single instance of a Rendezvous meeting, in minutes, starting from the time the instance becomes active (when the first participant joins the meeting).

The default value is 1440 minutes (24 hours). The range for the Rendezvous meeting is from 1 to 1440 minutes. An error occurs if the Rendezvous meeting exceeds 1440 minutes.

At the end of the maximum meeting instance duration, all participants in the meeting are dropped, but participants can immediately rejoin the meeting as part of a new meeting instance.

Region

Drop-down list of regions. Choose the region where the meeting will be hosted. The system reserves media resources at a media multi-region points of presence (POP) in this region.

Note You cannot schedule a Meet-Me meeting or a Rendezvous meeting in the same region.

Service Number Name

Drop-down list of service number names. Choose the name of the service number that users dial to reach the service for the meeting.

Provisioned Endpoints

View only. This field is only editable when managing an active Rendezvous meeting.

For information about managing active meetings, see the "Managing Active Meetings" section.

Unprovisioned Endpoints

View only. This field is only editable when managing an active Rendezvous meeting.

For information about managing active meetings, see the "Managing Active Meetings" section.

Number of Endpoints

Specify the endpoint capacity to reserve for the meeting.

To determine the capacity for the meeting, the system determines the type of media bridge resource to use for the meeting based on the profile(s) selected in the Additional Media Profiles field, multiplies the Number of Endpoints value by the default number of segments for that resource type, then adds the value in the Additional Capacity field.

The default number of segments for a media bridge depends on the value of the MeetMe Default Screens parameter on the System > Global Configuration window, as follows:

•CTMS—MeetMe Default Screens +1

•TPS—MeetMe Default Screens

•MCU MSE 8510—1 segment, regardless of this value.

To add additional capacity in a smaller multiple, use the Additional Capacity field.

Note Because you cannot configure Provisioned Endpoints for a Rendezvous meeting, you must specify at least one additional media profile so that the system knows the type of bridge resource to allocate for the meeting.

For more information on capacity reservation and bridge selection, see "Organization Bandwidth, Endpoint Capacity, Protocols and Bridge Selection."

Additional Media Profiles

Allows you to specify additional media profiles so that the system can choose the correct media bridge resource on which to reserve the meeting based on the capacity and capabilities required by unexpected or unspecified endpoints that may join the meeting. For example, if only CTS endpoints are added to a meeting, the system will try to reserve a CTMS resource for the meeting. If you add the built-in Default Generic H.323 media profile, then the system will try to reserve a TPS resource.

Note You must specify at least one additional media profile so that the system knows the type of bridge resource to allocate for the meeting.

To choose a media profile to include in the meeting, click Add Media Profiles.

Enable Host/Guest Roles

Check Box. Check this check box to enable host and guest options for the meeting.

Drop Participants On Host Exit

Applicable only when Enable Host/Guest Roles is checked.

Radio buttons provide a choice of the following conditions.

•False—The system does not drop any participants when the host leaves the meeting.

•True—The system drops all participants from the meeting when the host leaves. If the meeting has more than one host, participants will be dropped when all hosts have left the meeting.

•Inherit from Organization—Use the host/guest settings configured for the organization.

Note You can configure the host settings at the service provider level, organization level, or meeting level. The policy is hierarchical, so you can configure a Meet-Me or Rendezvous meeting to inherit its settings from the meeting scheduler organization. In addition, you can configure an organization to inherit its settings from the service provider. If you want a meeting to inherit organization settings, you must enable the inheritance option at the meeting level. Similarly, if you want an organization to inherit service provider settings, you must enable the inheritance option at the organization level.

Host PIN

Applicable only when Enable Host/Guest Roles is checked.

Radio buttons provide a choice of the following choices:

•Auto-Generate—The system creates a host PIN that a participant must enter to join the meeting as a host.

•Customize—The meeting scheduler specifies a custom host PIN that a participant must enter to join the meeting as a host.

Custom Host PIN

Applicable only when Enable Host/Guest Roles is checked, and Customize is selected for the Host PIN.

The PIN that a participant must enter to join the meeting as a host.

Allowed Host Endpoints

List of the available endpoints that are designated as a host for the meeting. Only provisioned endpoints can be designated as a host.

Click Add Allowed Host Endpoint to add an endpoint and configure the following values:

•Endpoint Organization—Drop-down list of organizations that are associated with the Service Provider configured for the meeting.

•Endpoint Name—Drop-down list of endpoints associated with the Endpoint Organization.

Additional Capacity

Meeting Type

View only. Radio buttons provide a choice of MeetMe, Rendezvous, Remote, or Two Party Direct.

•MeetMe meeting—The Cisco TelePresence Exchange System reserves media resources for the meeting. The meeting can include provisioned endpoints, unprovisioned endpoints, and remote endpoints.

•Rendezvous—A meeting that does not have a preconfigured start time. Participants can join the meeting at any time. When one or more participants join a Rendezvous meeting, an instance of the meeting is created and the meeting is considered active.

•Remote meeting—The local system does not reserve media resources for the meeting (the remote Cisco TelePresence Exchange System provides the media resources). A remote meeting involves an inter-service provider participant.

•Two Party Direct—The system does not reserve media resources, because this type of meeting is direct-dialed.

Note Only Meet-Me and Rendezvous meetings can be managed with active meeting management.

Subject

View only. Text description of the meeting.

Start Time

View only. Scheduled start time of the meeting.

Note This field is displayed only when managing a Meet-Me meeting.

Duration

Duration of the meeting in minutes. To increase the length of the meeting, enter a higher duration, up to a maximum of 1440 minutes (24 hours). For example, to add 30 minutes to a one-hour meeting, enter 90.

Note This field is displayed only when managing a Meet-Me meeting.

Service Provider

View only. The service provider hosting the meeting.

Scheduler

View only. Email address of the contact person for the meeting.

Scheduler's Organization

Organization to which the meeting scheduler belongs. To change the scheduler organization, choose a new organization from the drop-down list.

Changing the scheduler organization may change the whitelist policy that the system applies to intra-and inter-service provider calls, because the policy is based on the scheduler organization and the organization of the endpoint.

Because you can configure certain settings (such as automatic meeting extension and meeting host settings) to inherit their values from the scheduler organization, changing the scheduler organization may also affect the values that the system uses for these settings.

Note You can clear the scheduler organization by deleting the value in the Scheduler's Organization field. However, the system will not accept the change if the meeting has settings configured to inherit their values from the scheduler organization.

Reservation Type

View only. Reservation type specified for the meeting. The reservation type determines whether the meeting is guaranteed (the system reserved media bridge resources for the meeting when it was scheduled) or not guaranteed (the system did not reserve media bridge resources at scheduling time).

Maximum Meeting Instance Duration

View only. The maximum length of any single instance of a Rendezvous meeting, in minutes, starting from the point the instance becomes active (when one or more participants join the meeting). At the end of the maximum meeting instance duration, all calls in the meeting are dropped, but users can immediately rejoin the meeting as part of a new meeting instance.

Note This field is displayed only when managing a Rendezvous meeting.

Region

View only. Region of the media bridge resource that is hosting the meeting.

Service Number Name

View only. Name of the service number that users dial to reach the service for the meeting.

Endpoint Name —Name of an endpoint that is currently attending the meeting.

Ports (displayed only when managing a Meet-Me meeting)—Number of segments of organization bandwidth that the endpoint requires. The default value is zero. (The Max Ports setting for the organization determines the sum total amount of bandwidth that the organization endpoints can consume at a given time.)

Dial Out—If the check box is checked, the system will dial out to reach the endpoint.

When Dial Out is checked, you can click Redial on the Meeting Diagnostics page to have the system dial out to the endpoint again if the endpoint has left the meeting. This setting is view only for provisioned endpoints that are currently attending the meeting.

Is Host (displayed only when managing a Meet-Me meeting)—If the check box is checked, the endpoint is designated as a host. Only provisioned endpoints can be designated as a host. This check box is view only for endpoints that are currently attending the meeting, and is used in conjunction with the Enable Host/Guest Roles check box.

Add Provisioned Endpoint

Click Add Provisioned Endpoint and configure the following values.

•Endpoint Organization—Drop-down list of organizations that are associated with the Service Provider configured for the meeting.

•Endpoint Name—Drop-down list of endpoints associated with the Endpoint Organization.

•Ports (displayed only when managing a Meet-Me meeting)—Enter the number of segments of organization bandwidth that the endpoint requires. (The Max Ports setting for the organization determines the sum total amount of bandwidth that the organization endpoints can consume at a given time.)

•Dial Out—Check this check box to have the system dial out to reach the endpoint.

Note Any new endpoints added to a Rendezvous meeting will be automatically set to dial out.

•Host (displayed only when managing a Meet-Me meeting)—Check the check box to designate the endpoint as a host. Only provisioned endpoints can be designated as a host. Use this check box in conjunction with the Enable Host/Guest Roles check box.

To add an additional endpoint, click Add Provisioned Endpoints again.

Note For Rendezvous meetings, the endpoint will be added only to the currently active instance of the meeting.

Unprovisioned Endpoints

•Bandwidth-Providing Organization—Organization to which the endpoint belongs.

•Ports (displayed only when managing a Meet-Me meeting)—Number of segments of organization bandwidth that the endpoint requires. (The Max Ports setting for the organization determines the sum total amount of bandwidth that the organization endpoints can consume at a given time.)

•Guest Dial Out—Indicates that the system will dial out to reach the endpoint.

When Guest Dial Out is checked, you can click Redial on the Meeting Diagnostics page to have the system dial out to the endpoint again if the endpoint has left the meeting. This setting is view only for unprovisioned endpoints that are currently attending the meeting.

•Number—Number that the system must dial to reach the endpoint.

•Media Profile—At schedule time, the media profile helps tailor the bridge selection and capacity calculation to your needs. At attend time, the system determines the protocol to use when dialing out to the endpoint based on the protocols supported by the media profile and the type of bridge on which the meeting is hosted. For more information, see the "Protocol Used for Dial-Out Calls At Attend Time" section.

Add Unprovisioned Endpoint

Click Add Unprovisioned Endpoints to display a drop-down list of available organization names, and choose an organization to include in this meeting.

•Ports (displayed only when managing a Meet-Me meeting)—Enter the number of segments of organization bandwidth that the endpoint requires. The default value is zero. (The Max Ports setting for the organization determines the sum total amount of bandwidth that the organization endpoints can consume at a given time.)

•Guest Dial Out—Check this check box to have the system dial out to reach the endpoint.

Note Any new endpoints added to a Rendezvous meeting will be automatically set to dial out.

•Number—Enter the number that the system must dial to reach the guest endpoint.

•Media Profile—Choose the media profile for the endpoint from the drop-down list. When you add an unprovisioned endpoint to an active meeting, the system determines the protocol to use to dial out to the endpoint based on the protocols supported by the media profile and the type of bridge on which the meeting is hosted. For more information, see the "Protocol Used for Dial-Out Calls At Attend Time" section.

To add an additional endpoint, click Add Unprovisioned Endpoints again.

For Rendezvous meetings, the endpoint will be added only to the currently active instance of the meeting.

Remote Endpoints

Indicates whether capacity has been reserved for one or more remote endpoints for an inter-service provider participant. No additional data is visible for this type of endpoint.

Note This field is displayed only when managing a Meet-Me meeting.

Add Remote Endpoint

To reserve capacity for a remote endpoint, click Add Remote Endpoints.

A Remote Endpoint entry is displayed on the window.

Note This field is displayed only when managing a Meet-Me meeting.

Number of Endpoints

Specifies the endpoint capacity to reserve for the Rendezvous meeting.

Modifying this value on the Modify an Active Meeting Page also changes the value for future instances of the meeting.

For information on how many segments of bridge capacity the system reserves for an endpoint, see "Organization Bandwidth, Endpoint Capacity, Protocols and Bridge Selection."

Note This field is displayed only when managing a Rendezvous meeting.

Additional Media Profiles

View only. Allows you to specify additional media profiles to so that the Cisco TelePresence Exchange System can choose the correct bridge resource type on which to reserve the meeting based on the capacity and capabilities required by unexpected or unspecified endpoints that may join the meeting. For example, if only CTS endpoints are added to a meeting, the system will try to reserve CTMS resources for the meeting. If an additional media profile is added for H.323, then the system will try to reserve a TPS resource.

Meeting Extension

View only. Determines whether the meeting will be automatically extended if resources are available when the meeting nears the configured duration.

Meeting Extension Period (minutes)

Available only if Meeting Extension was enabled before the meeting became active.

Specify the length to automatically extend the meeting by if resources are available when the meeting nears its configured duration. The extension length must be a multiple of 15 (for example, 15, 30 or 45).

Note If you change the meeting extension period after the system has initiated an extension (starting shortly before the two minute end-of-meeting warning), the change will not take effect for the current extension. For example, on a meeting with two 15-minute extensions configured, if the system starts the first extension and you then change the Meeting Extension Period to 30 minutes, the first extension will remain 15 minutes. If the system is able to extend the meeting for the second extension, the second extension will be 30 minutes.

Max Meeting Extensions Allowed

Available only if Meeting Extension was enabled before the meeting became active.

Specify the maximum number of times the meeting can be extended if resources are available. The maximum number of extensions times the Meeting Extension Period must not exceed 1440 minutes (24 hours).

Enable Host/Guest Roles

Check box. Uncheck the check box during an active meeting to disable host and guest options for the meeting.

Note You cannot use this field to enable host and guest options on an active meeting. In order for the options to be available for a meeting, you must enable the options before the meeting becomes active.

Drop Participants On Host Exit

Applicable only when Enable Host/Guest Roles is checked.

View only. When checked, the system drops all participants from the meeting when the host leaves. If the meeting has more than one host, participants will be dropped when all hosts have left the meeting.

Host PIN

Applicable only when Enable Host/Guest Roles is checked.

View only. Radio buttons provide the following choices:

•Auto-Generate—The system creates a host PIN that a participant must enter to join the meeting as a host.

•Customize—The meeting scheduler specifies a custom host PIN that a participant must enter to join the meeting as a host.

Custom Host PIN

Applicable only when Enable Host/Guest Roles is checked, and Customize is selected for the Host PIN.

View only. The PIN that a participant must enter to join the meeting as a host.

Allowed Host Endpoints

Applicable only when Enable Host/Guest Roles is checked for a Rendezvous meeting.

View only. List of the available endpoints that are designated as a host for the meeting, and the organization(s) with which they are associated. Only provisioned endpoints can be designated as a host.

Additional Capacity

Number of additional media bridge resource segments to reserve for the meeting.

Use this field to allocate media bridge resources for endpoints that are not configured to be part of the meeting but that you expect to join the meeting.

To determine how many segments to add for each endpoint, use the following guidelines, depending on which media resource provides the meeting bridge:

•Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch—Add 4 segments for each three-screen endpoint and 2 segments for each single-screen endpoint.

•Cisco TelePresence Server MSE 8710—Add 3 segments for each three-screen endpoint and 1 segment for each single-screen endpoint.

•Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8510—Add 1 segment. The MCU MSE 8510 supports only single-screen endpoints.

Note For Rendezvous meetings, modifying this value on the Modify an Active Meeting Page also changes the value for future instances of the meeting. A Rendezvous meeting does not have a restriction on the maximum value of the capacity. If the capacity is not available at attend time, the endpoints cannot join the meeting.

Conference ID

View only. The unique, eight-digit ID that users are prompted to enter if they dial in to the meeting rather than attending by using One-Button-to-Push (OBTP).

Push OBTP

View only. Indicates whether the meeting was configured to send One-Button-to-Push (OBTP) information to the IP phones in the rooms that are associated with the provisioned endpoints.
