Step 3 Click Send to send the administrator password to the e-mail address associated with the login ID.

Uninstalling the Resource Manager Configuration Tool

This section describes how to uninstall the Resource Manager Configuration Tool when you are working with Java Runtime Environment.

Procedure

Step 1 From the Microsoft Windows operating system Start menu, go to Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.

Step 2 From the list of programs, select Resource Manager Configuration Tool, and then click Remove.

The Resource Manager Configuration Tool is removed from the operating system.

Using the Configuration Tool

The Resource Manager Configuration Tool consists of the following tabs:

•System Configuration—See the "Using the System Configuration Tab" section.

•CDR Configuration—See the "Using the CDR Configuration Tab" section.

Using the System Configuration Tab

The System Configuration tab is used for defining system configuration settings for Resource Manager. The System Configuration tab contains the following sub-tabs:

•General Settings—See the "Using the General Settings Tab" section.

•Scheduling Settings—See the "Using the Scheduling Settings Tab" section.

•UI Settings—See the "Using the UI Settings Tab" section.

•Customized Settings—See the "Using the Customized Settings Tab" section.

•Database Settings—See the "Using the Database Settings Tab" section.

•Security Settings—See the "Using the Security Settings Tab" section.

Using the General Settings Tab

On the General Settings tab, you can define and modify general system settings for the Resource Manager server.

Defining E-Mail Server Settings

On the General Settings tab, in the E-Mail Server Settings section, you can define settings that are used by Resource Manager to send e-mail notifications, such as meeting reservations and meeting updates, to users and administrators.

Procedure

Step 1 To designate the host, in the Host field, enter an IP address or domain name for use as the mail server address.

Step 2 To designate the mail server communications port to be used, in the Port field, enter the port name.

Step 3 To enable access to the e-mail server, in the Login ID field, enter the e-mail server Login ID and then in the Password field, enter the e-mail server password.

Step 4 For an e-mail notification to be sent to the meeting organizer in the event of a meeting failure, check E-mail meeting organizer upon, and then check one or more of the following meeting-failure check boxes:

•Meeting creation

•EP abnormal connection

•EP connection

•Dial-in considered—This check box is only active if you check EP connection.

If you check Dial-in considered, dial-in connections are considered as endpoints and e-mail notifications are sent in the case of a dial-in connection failure.

In the event of a meeting failure, the relevant e-mail notifications are sent according to your selection.

Step 5 Click Save.

Defining the Unconnected Endpoint Time Period

If there is a connection request, and an endpoint does not respond within the designated time-out period, the system classifies the endpoint as an unconnected endpoint.

Procedure

Step 1 In the EP Unconnected Time Out field, enter a value in seconds.

If an endpoint is does not respond after the specified period of time, the endpoint is considered unconnected.

Step 2 Click Save.

Specifying an IVR Message for Dial-in and Dial-out Endpoints

This section enables you to configure Resource Manager to play an IVR (interactive voice response) message when a user joins a meeting. These messages are in the MCU and are identified according to the message index used by administration. Do not change the message index value without referring to the MCU documentation to understand what the index is for each IVR message.

Procedure

Step 1 To specify the IVR message to be received by dial-in endpoints, in the IVR message index section, in Message index for Dial-in endpoints, enter the message-index number of the message.

Step 2 To specify the IVR message to be received by dial-out endpoints, in the IVR message index section, in Message index for Dial-out endpoints, enter the message-index number of the message.

Step 3 Click Save.

Defining Thresholds for Resource Allocation

If more than one MCU is able to host a meeting, Resource Manager allocates the meeting according to a load balancing principle that takes into account threshold definitions. If the maximum threshold is exceeded, the Resource Manager uses the ports of a single MCU until they are all in use, and then continues to another MCU. In this way, space is reserved on other MCUs for larger meetings, for example, and any unnecessary spanning of ports on multiple MCUs is prevented.

Procedure

Step 1 To define the minimum threshold value, in the Resource Allocation section, in the Low-Usage Threshold field, enter a percentage of the total MCU ports permitted for scheduling by Resource Manager at any given time. By default, this feature is disabled since both the Low-Usage Threshold and Max. Reservation Threshold are set to 100%.

Step 2 To define the maximum threshold value, in the Max. Reservation Threshold field, enter a percentage of the total MCU ports permitted for scheduling by Resource Manager at any given time.

Step 3 Click Save.

Note If a meeting spans multiple MCUs for purposes of bandwidth optimization, an additional port is required on each MCU. For example, for a meeting that spans two MCUs, and where there are three participating endpoints using ports on one MCU and four participating endpoints using ports on another MCU, 9 ports are required (7 endpoints + 2 MCUs).

Setting Table Row Display

The number of rows that are displayed in tables in Resource Manager, such as tables on the All Meetings, My Meetings and Resource Management > Terminal > User Management > User tabs in Resource Manager, is designated in the Display Setting section.

Procedure

Step 1 In the Display Settings section, in the Number of table rows per page field, enter a row quantity.

Tables in Resource Manager are displayed with the specified number of rows.

Step 2 Click Save.

Setting the Command Delay

You can define the amount of time that Resource Manager waits between the sending of internal messages to the MCU.

Procedure

Step 1 In the Delay between two commands from Resource Manager to MCU field, enter a time in milliseconds.

Step 2 Click Save.

Setting the Parent Zone Authorization Filter

The setting is only applicable when working with the Cisco IOS H.323 Gatekeeper. In a hierarchical mode, this setting determines whether or not the parent zone prefix should be added when going from a child gatekeeper to a parent gatekeeper during multi-zone navigation. This is useful for Resource Manager to determine the dial-out string when a terminal is invited.

Setting the Log Level

You can select from three levels of detail for a log file. The more detailed a log file, the larger the log file.

Procedure

Step 1 In the Log Level section, select from one of the following options:

•WARN—This is the standard, recommended setting in most cases.

•INFO—This setting includes more detailed information in the log file.

•DEBUG—This setting includes issue details in the log file and produces the most detailed log.

Step 2 Click Save.

Setting the In-Meeting Control Refresh Rate

You can define the time interval between refreshes of the In-meeting Control interface.

Procedure

Step 1 In the Refresh In-Meeting Control window every n seconds field, enter the number of seconds that the In-meeting Control interface is displayed before the next refresh.

Step 2 Click Save.

Setting the Online Help Host URL

You can point the online help files to a remote URL. It is recommended that you do not customize the online help host URL unless you have a copy of the online help files to which to target.

Using the Scheduling Settings Tab

On the Scheduling Settings tab, the system administrator configures basic system settings for the Resource Manager server.

Accessing the Scheduling Settings Tab

To open the Scheduling Settings tab, in the Resource Manager Configuration Tool, click System Configuration > Scheduling Settings.

Note The values displayed on the tab are the values currently in the system.

Changing Call Authorization Settings

When Resource Manager and Cisco IOS H.323 Gatekeeper are working in authorization mode, Resource Manager can restrict endpoint-initiated conferences with settings in this section to prevent uncontrolled and unmanaged access in a video conference network.

Procedure

Step 1 To disallow endpoint-initiated point-to-point calls, uncheck Allow Endpoint Initiated Point to Point Calls.

To disallow endpoint-initiated MCU calls, uncheck Allow Endpoint Initiated Multipoint Calls.

Step 2 Check Allow Only Endpoint Initiated Virtual Room Meetings to ensure that the endpoint-initiated MCU calls must use a defined virtual room.

Note You cannot create random endpoint-initiated conferences when Allow Only Endpoint Initiated Virtual Room Meetings is checked.

The Allow Only Endpoint Initiated Virtual Room Meetings option is enabled only when the Allow Endpoint Initiated Multipoint Calls field is checked.

Step 3 Check Allow Advanced Virtual Room Management for Meeting Organizer to enable Meeting Organizers to have multiple virtual rooms. When checked, a meeting organizer can have multiple virtual rooms under his or her user profile. The Basic and Invite tabs are also displayed under the Virtual Room Profile screens.

Only Administrators can add a new virtual room for a Meeting Organizer. A Meeting Organizer can only delete or modify his or her existing virtual rooms.

By default, Allow Advanced Virtual Room Management for Meeting Organizer is unchecked. Each Meeting Organizer can have a single virtual room only, and only the virtual room Basic tab is displayed.

Administrators and Meeting Operators can always have multiple virtual rooms and the virtual room Basic and Invite tabs are both displayed by default.

Note If a Meeting Organizer already has more than one virtual room, even if the Allow Advanced Virtual Room Management for Meeting Organizer is unchecked, a full list of the user's virtual rooms is displayed as well as all of the virtual room's configuration tabs.

Step 4 Check Authorize MCU Calls if only Resource Manager is the authorizer of all MCU conferences. By default, Authorized MCU Calls is not checked. Making Resource Manager the authorizer of all MCUs requires the restart of all the MCUs in order for the change to take effect.

Step 5 Click Save.

Modifying Default Meeting Settings

In the Meeting Scheduling section, you can change default meetings settings.

Procedure

Step 1 Resource Manager can work with the MCU conference ID instead of the Resource Manager conference ID. To work with the MCU conference ID, check Use MCU Meeting ID.

This option is meant to work when Resource Manager and Cisco IOS H.323 Gatekeeper are not working in authorization mode, and all meetings dial out to their meeting participants.

Step 2 In the Meeting ID Length field, enter a value for the number of characters allowed in meeting ID strings.

Step 3 In the Meeting ID Prefix field, enter a numeric value for the meeting prefix. The prefix must be shorter than the number specified in the Meeting ID Length field.

Step 4 To set the duration of endpoint-initiated calls, enter a value in minutes in the Duration of Endpoint Initiated Calls field. The default value is 30 minutes. Resource Manager uses this value in resource allocation and meeting creation.

Step 5 From the Default Dialing Mode list, select Dial-in or Dial-out.

Step 6 If you select Dial-in, meeting participants enter a meeting by dialing into the meeting.

If you select Dial-out, the Resource Manager system dials out to meeting participants.

Step 7 In the Minimum # Terminals allowed in a Scheduled Meeting field, enter the minimum number of terminals that must be selected in the Resource Manager interface for a scheduled meeting to be considered valid.

Step 8 In the Maximum # Terminals allowed in a Scheduled Meeting field, enter the maximum number of terminals allowed to take part in a scheduled meeting.

Step 9 In the Minimum # Terminals allowed in an Ad-Hoc Meeting field, enter the minimum number of terminals that must be selected in the Resource Manager interface for an ad hoc scheduled meeting to be considered valid.

Step 10 In the Maximum # Terminals allowed in an Ad-Hoc Meeting field, enter the maximum number of terminals allowed to take part in an ad hoc meeting.

Step 11 Check Remove ad hoc participants when disconnected from conference to enable ad participants not on the original invited list to be kept in the In-Meeting Control screen after they disconnect. This is useful for endpoint initiated ad-hoc conference where Resource Manager will remove a participant from the conference list when the participant disconnects.

If you uncheck this field, and disconnected participants are still kept in the In-Meeting Control participant list, such participants still use MCU ports even though they are no longer connected. This option is useful for managed conferences where a meeting operator can determine which disconnected participants should be removed from the meeting and do so manually.

Step 12 To specify the amount of time prior to the scheduled start of a meeting that the meeting actually begins, enter a value in minutes in the Launch Meetings <n> Minutes before scheduled start field.

Step 13 To specify the amount of time that a meeting can be extended after the scheduled end of the meeting, enter a value in minutes in the Meeting Auto Extend Length field.

Step 14 In the Allowable Scheduling Interval field, from the From list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days) and then enter a value for the minimum amount of time allowed between the scheduling of a meeting and the meeting's scheduled start-time. From the To list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days) and then enter a value for the maximum amount of time allowed between the scheduling of a meeting and the meeting's scheduled start-time.

Note Allowable Scheduling Interval settings do not apply to ad hoc meetings.

Step 15 To set the minimum and maximum length for a scheduled meeting, in the Allowable Duration for a Scheduled Meeting field, From list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days) and then enter a value for the minimum duration of a scheduled meeting. From the To list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days), and then enter a value for the maximum duration of a scheduled meeting.

Step 16 To set the minimum and maximum length for an ad hoc meeting, in the Allowable Duration for an Ad-Hoc Meeting field, from the From list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days) and then enter a value for the minimum duration of a scheduled meeting. From the To list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days), and then enter a value for the maximum duration of an ad hoc meeting.

Step 17 To define the duration of time a meeting is allowed to remain in Waiting Room mode until the meeting host joins, click Waiting Room Timeout, and then enter a value in the <n> Minutes After The Waiting Room Start field.

Note If the host does not join within the specified period of time, the meeting ends.

Step 18 Click Save.

Modifying Default Recurring Meeting Settings

You can modify the default value for the period of time for which resources are allocated, and for which e-mail notifications detail upcoming meeting instances for participants.

Procedure

Step 1 In the Recurring Meeting Scheduling section, in the Schedule Recurring Meetings field, enter a value in days. This value determines the number of days in advance that a recurring meeting can be scheduled. The maximum value is 730 days (2 years).

Step 2 Click Save.

Using the UI Settings Tab

On the UI Settings tab, you can simplify the Resource Manager web interface by defining which windows in the following sections of the Resource Manager user interface are hidden from the user.

•IP Topology in Admin > Network Management

Including and Removing Custom Time Zones

The Customized Time Zone(s) area lists Java standard time zones, as well as custom defined time zones.

Procedure

Step 1 To view a time zone profile, click a time zone in the Customized Time Zone section.

Step 2 Use the left- and right-pointing arrows to assign or unassign a time zone to the select list. Only selected time zones are displayed in the web interface in the user, terminal, and meeting time zone fields. You can define a subset of all available time zones in the Select Time Zones list. This enables you to expose only the relevant time zones to the end users in the web interface.

Step 3 To add an available time zone to the list, click New located below the Available Time Zones list.

A Configuration Tool window opens in which you define the custom time zone.

Step 4 In the Time Zone Name field, enter the name of the new time zone.

Note A time zone name cannot be changed after it is saved.

Step 5 To define the time difference in relation to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), in the Time Difference from GMT section, select an hour and a minute value.

Step 6 If the time zone takes into account daylight saving time, check Observes Daylight Saving.

The fields in the lower section of the window become active.

Step 7 In the Daylight Saving field, enter the daylight saving time value for the time zone, in minutes.

Step 8 To specify when daylight savings time begins, in the DST Start Time section, click one of the option buttons, depending on how you prefer the date and time to be displayed, and then select from the date and time lists to specify the precise start time.

Step 9 To specify when daylight savings time ends, in the DST End Time section, click one of the options buttons, depending on how you prefer the date and time to be displayed, and then select from the date and time lists to specify the precise end time.

Note We recommend that you select the same date and time display for both the start and end times.

Step 10 Click Save.

Step 11 To delete an available time zone from the list, select a custom defined time zone from the Available Time Zones list and then click Remove located below the Available Time Zones list.

To delete a select time zone from the list, select a custom defined time zone in the Select Time Zones list and then click Remove located below the Select Time Zones list.

Step 12 Click Close.

On the Custom Settings tab, the new time zone appears in the list in the Custom Time Zones area.

To delete a time zone from the Custom Time Zones list, before you save your settings, click on the time zone in the list, and then click Remove.

To reset Custom Time Zones to the original list, before you save your settings, click Reset to undo settings.

If you create a custom time zone that has the same name as the key string in a default Java time zone, the new custom time zone overrides the rules of the default Java time zone.

Because the start time for daylight saving time in the USA is scheduled to change in the year 2007, the changes that reflect the new daylight saving time rules must be made in the definition of a custom time zone and then saved with a name that is identical to the main string of the Java default time zone.

If the terminal is connected to a meeting for the specified minimum time or longer, the CDR records the actual connection time as the total connection time for that terminal.

If a terminal is connected to a meeting for less than the specified minimum time, the CDR records the total connection time for that terminal as zero in the CDR.

Step 6 In the File prefix name field, the default prefix "CDR" appears. Enter a different prefix, if required.

The prefix appears at the beginning of the CDR file name.

Note A standard Resource Manager installation creates a directory named Resource Manager in the Program Files directory (for example, C:\Program Files\Cisco Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager\Resource Manager). CDR files are stored in a default sub-directory cdrdata. For example, C:\Program Files\Resource Manager\cdrdata\cdrfilename.xml.

Step 7 To specify how often CDRs are produced, choose one of the following options:

•One file per meeting—One CDR file is created for each meeting occurrence.

•One file every day—This is the default selection. The CDR file contains information for every scheduled meeting within a 24-hour period.

Note CDR file names are labeled by date, followed by a sequential identifier.

Note Filename suffixes are sequential regardless of how often a CDR is produced, and even if a different CDR production-time option is selected.

Step 8 To allow streaming to a Radius server for billing purposes, check Use RADIUS server.

The related fields become active.

Step 9 In the IP Address field, enter the IP address for the Radius server.

Step 10 In the Port field, enter the port designated for use by the Radius server.

Step 3 Click Send to send the administrator password to the e-mail address associated with the login ID. Uninstalling the Resource Manager Configuration Tool This section describes how to uninstall the Resource Manager Configuration Tool when you are working with Java Runtime Environment. Procedure Step 1 From the Microsoft Windows operating system Start menu, go to Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. Step 2 From the list of programs, select Resource Manager Configuration Tool, and then click Remove. The Resource Manager Configuration Tool is removed from the operating system. Using the Configuration Tool The Resource Manager Configuration Tool consists of the following tabs: •System Configuration—See the "Using the System Configuration Tab" section. •CDR Configuration—See the "Using the CDR Configuration Tab" section. Using the System Configuration Tab The System Configuration tab is used for defining system configuration settings for Resource Manager. The System Configuration tab contains the following sub-tabs: •General Settings—See the "Using the General Settings Tab" section. •Scheduling Settings—See the "Using the Scheduling Settings Tab" section. •UI Settings—See the "Using the UI Settings Tab" section. •Customized Settings—See the "Using the Customized Settings Tab" section. •Database Settings—See the "Using the Database Settings Tab" section. •Security Settings—See the "Using the Security Settings Tab" section. Using the General Settings Tab On the General Settings tab, you can define and modify general system settings for the Resource Manager server. Defining E-Mail Server Settings On the General Settings tab, in the E-Mail Server Settings section, you can define settings that are used by Resource Manager to send e-mail notifications, such as meeting reservations and meeting updates, to users and administrators. Procedure Step 1 To designate the host, in the Host field, enter an IP address or domain name for use as the mail server address. Step 2 To designate the mail server communications port to be used, in the Port field, enter the port name. Step 3 To enable access to the e-mail server, in the Login ID field, enter the e-mail server Login ID and then in the Password field, enter the e-mail server password. Step 4 For an e-mail notification to be sent to the meeting organizer in the event of a meeting failure, check E-mail meeting organizer upon, and then check one or more of the following meeting-failure check boxes: •Meeting creation •EP abnormal connection •EP connection •Dial-in considered—This check box is only active if you check EP connection. If you check Dial-in considered, dial-in connections are considered as endpoints and e-mail notifications are sent in the case of a dial-in connection failure. In the event of a meeting failure, the relevant e-mail notifications are sent according to your selection. Step 5 Click Save. Defining the Unconnected Endpoint Time Period If there is a connection request, and an endpoint does not respond within the designated time-out period, the system classifies the endpoint as an unconnected endpoint. Procedure Step 1 In the EP Unconnected Time Out field, enter a value in seconds. If an endpoint is does not respond after the specified period of time, the endpoint is considered unconnected. Step 2 Click Save. Specifying an IVR Message for Dial-in and Dial-out Endpoints This section enables you to configure Resource Manager to play an IVR (interactive voice response) message when a user joins a meeting. These messages are in the MCU and are identified according to the message index used by administration. Do not change the message index value without referring to the MCU documentation to understand what the index is for each IVR message. Procedure Step 1 To specify the IVR message to be received by dial-in endpoints, in the IVR message index section, in Message index for Dial-in endpoints, enter the message-index number of the message. Step 2 To specify the IVR message to be received by dial-out endpoints, in the IVR message index section, in Message index for Dial-out endpoints, enter the message-index number of the message. Step 3 Click Save. Defining Thresholds for Resource Allocation If more than one MCU is able to host a meeting, Resource Manager allocates the meeting according to a load balancing principle that takes into account threshold definitions. If the maximum threshold is exceeded, the Resource Manager uses the ports of a single MCU until they are all in use, and then continues to another MCU. In this way, space is reserved on other MCUs for larger meetings, for example, and any unnecessary spanning of ports on multiple MCUs is prevented. Procedure Step 1 To define the minimum threshold value, in the Resource Allocation section, in the Low-Usage Threshold field, enter a percentage of the total MCU ports permitted for scheduling by Resource Manager at any given time. By default, this feature is disabled since both the Low-Usage Threshold and Max. Reservation Threshold are set to 100%. Step 2 To define the maximum threshold value, in the Max. Reservation Threshold field, enter a percentage of the total MCU ports permitted for scheduling by Resource Manager at any given time. Step 3 Click Save. Note If a meeting spans multiple MCUs for purposes of bandwidth optimization, an additional port is required on each MCU. For example, for a meeting that spans two MCUs, and where there are three participating endpoints using ports on one MCU and four participating endpoints using ports on another MCU, 9 ports are required (7 endpoints + 2 MCUs). Setting Table Row Display The number of rows that are displayed in tables in Resource Manager, such as tables on the All Meetings, My Meetings and Resource Management > Terminal > User Management > User tabs in Resource Manager, is designated in the Display Setting section. Procedure Step 1 In the Display Settings section, in the Number of table rows per page field, enter a row quantity. Tables in Resource Manager are displayed with the specified number of rows. Step 2 Click Save. Setting the Command Delay You can define the amount of time that Resource Manager waits between the sending of internal messages to the MCU. Procedure Step 1 In the Delay between two commands from Resource Manager to MCU field, enter a time in milliseconds. Step 2 Click Save. Setting the Parent Zone Authorization Filter The setting is only applicable when working with the Cisco IOS H.323 Gatekeeper. In a hierarchical mode, this setting determines whether or not the parent zone prefix should be added when going from a child gatekeeper to a parent gatekeeper during multi-zone navigation. This is useful for Resource Manager to determine the dial-out string when a terminal is invited. Setting the Log Level You can select from three levels of detail for a log file. The more detailed a log file, the larger the log file. Procedure Step 1 In the Log Level section, select from one of the following options: •WARN—This is the standard, recommended setting in most cases. •INFO—This setting includes more detailed information in the log file. •DEBUG—This setting includes issue details in the log file and produces the most detailed log. Step 2 Click Save. Setting the In-Meeting Control Refresh Rate You can define the time interval between refreshes of the In-meeting Control interface. Procedure Step 1 In the Refresh In-Meeting Control window every n seconds field, enter the number of seconds that the In-meeting Control interface is displayed before the next refresh. Step 2 Click Save. Setting the Online Help Host URL You can point the online help files to a remote URL. It is recommended that you do not customize the online help host URL unless you have a copy of the online help files to which to target. Using the Scheduling Settings Tab On the Scheduling Settings tab, the system administrator configures basic system settings for the Resource Manager server. Accessing the Scheduling Settings Tab To open the Scheduling Settings tab, in the Resource Manager Configuration Tool, click System Configuration > Scheduling Settings. Note The values displayed on the tab are the values currently in the system. Changing Call Authorization Settings When Resource Manager and Cisco IOS H.323 Gatekeeper are working in authorization mode, Resource Manager can restrict endpoint-initiated conferences with settings in this section to prevent uncontrolled and unmanaged access in a video conference network. Procedure Step 1 To disallow endpoint-initiated point-to-point calls, uncheck Allow Endpoint Initiated Point to Point Calls. To disallow endpoint-initiated MCU calls, uncheck Allow Endpoint Initiated Multipoint Calls. Step 2 Check Allow Only Endpoint Initiated Virtual Room Meetings to ensure that the endpoint-initiated MCU calls must use a defined virtual room. Note You cannot create random endpoint-initiated conferences when Allow Only Endpoint Initiated Virtual Room Meetings is checked. The Allow Only Endpoint Initiated Virtual Room Meetings option is enabled only when the Allow Endpoint Initiated Multipoint Calls field is checked. Step 3 Check Allow Advanced Virtual Room Management for Meeting Organizer to enable Meeting Organizers to have multiple virtual rooms. When checked, a meeting organizer can have multiple virtual rooms under his or her user profile. The Basic and Invite tabs are also displayed under the Virtual Room Profile screens. Only Administrators can add a new virtual room for a Meeting Organizer. A Meeting Organizer can only delete or modify his or her existing virtual rooms. By default, Allow Advanced Virtual Room Management for Meeting Organizer is unchecked. Each Meeting Organizer can have a single virtual room only, and only the virtual room Basic tab is displayed. Administrators and Meeting Operators can always have multiple virtual rooms and the virtual room Basic and Invite tabs are both displayed by default. Note If a Meeting Organizer already has more than one virtual room, even if the Allow Advanced Virtual Room Management for Meeting Organizer is unchecked, a full list of the user's virtual rooms is displayed as well as all of the virtual room's configuration tabs. Step 4 Check Authorize MCU Calls if only Resource Manager is the authorizer of all MCU conferences. By default, Authorized MCU Calls is not checked. Making Resource Manager the authorizer of all MCUs requires the restart of all the MCUs in order for the change to take effect. Step 5 Click Save. Modifying Default Meeting Settings In the Meeting Scheduling section, you can change default meetings settings. Procedure Step 1 Resource Manager can work with the MCU conference ID instead of the Resource Manager conference ID. To work with the MCU conference ID, check Use MCU Meeting ID. This option is meant to work when Resource Manager and Cisco IOS H.323 Gatekeeper are not working in authorization mode, and all meetings dial out to their meeting participants. Step 2 In the Meeting ID Length field, enter a value for the number of characters allowed in meeting ID strings. Step 3 In the Meeting ID Prefix field, enter a numeric value for the meeting prefix. The prefix must be shorter than the number specified in the Meeting ID Length field. Step 4 To set the duration of endpoint-initiated calls, enter a value in minutes in the Duration of Endpoint Initiated Calls field. The default value is 30 minutes. Resource Manager uses this value in resource allocation and meeting creation. Step 5 From the Default Dialing Mode list, select Dial-in or Dial-out. Step 6 If you select Dial-in, meeting participants enter a meeting by dialing into the meeting. If you select Dial-out, the Resource Manager system dials out to meeting participants. Step 7 In the Minimum # Terminals allowed in a Scheduled Meeting field, enter the minimum number of terminals that must be selected in the Resource Manager interface for a scheduled meeting to be considered valid. Step 8 In the Maximum # Terminals allowed in a Scheduled Meeting field, enter the maximum number of terminals allowed to take part in a scheduled meeting. Step 9 In the Minimum # Terminals allowed in an Ad-Hoc Meeting field, enter the minimum number of terminals that must be selected in the Resource Manager interface for an ad hoc scheduled meeting to be considered valid. Step 10 In the Maximum # Terminals allowed in an Ad-Hoc Meeting field, enter the maximum number of terminals allowed to take part in an ad hoc meeting. Step 11 Check Remove ad hoc participants when disconnected from conference to enable ad participants not on the original invited list to be kept in the In-Meeting Control screen after they disconnect. This is useful for endpoint initiated ad-hoc conference where Resource Manager will remove a participant from the conference list when the participant disconnects. If you uncheck this field, and disconnected participants are still kept in the In-Meeting Control participant list, such participants still use MCU ports even though they are no longer connected. This option is useful for managed conferences where a meeting operator can determine which disconnected participants should be removed from the meeting and do so manually. Step 12 To specify the amount of time prior to the scheduled start of a meeting that the meeting actually begins, enter a value in minutes in the Launch Meetings <n> Minutes before scheduled start field. Step 13 To specify the amount of time that a meeting can be extended after the scheduled end of the meeting, enter a value in minutes in the Meeting Auto Extend Length field. Step 14 In the Allowable Scheduling Interval field, from the From list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days) and then enter a value for the minimum amount of time allowed between the scheduling of a meeting and the meeting's scheduled start-time. From the To list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days) and then enter a value for the maximum amount of time allowed between the scheduling of a meeting and the meeting's scheduled start-time. Note Allowable Scheduling Interval settings do not apply to ad hoc meetings. Step 15 To set the minimum and maximum length for a scheduled meeting, in the Allowable Duration for a Scheduled Meeting field, From list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days) and then enter a value for the minimum duration of a scheduled meeting. From the To list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days), and then enter a value for the maximum duration of a scheduled meeting. Step 16 To set the minimum and maximum length for an ad hoc meeting, in the Allowable Duration for an Ad-Hoc Meeting field, from the From list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days) and then enter a value for the minimum duration of a scheduled meeting. From the To list, select a unit of time (Minutes, Hours or Days), and then enter a value for the maximum duration of an ad hoc meeting. Step 17 To define the duration of time a meeting is allowed to remain in Waiting Room mode until the meeting host joins, click Waiting Room Timeout, and then enter a value in the <n> Minutes After The Waiting Room Start field. Note If the host does not join within the specified period of time, the meeting ends. Step 18 Click Save. Modifying Default Recurring Meeting Settings You can modify the default value for the period of time for which resources are allocated, and for which e-mail notifications detail upcoming meeting instances for participants. Procedure Step 1 In the Recurring Meeting Scheduling section, in the Schedule Recurring Meetings field, enter a value in days. This value determines the number of days in advance that a recurring meeting can be scheduled. The maximum value is 730 days (2 years). Step 2 Click Save. Using the UI Settings Tab On the UI Settings tab, you can simplify the Resource Manager web interface by defining which windows in the following sections of the Resource Manager user interface are hidden from the user. •IP Topology in Admin > Network Management •Gatekeeper Definition > Gatekeeper/SIP server tab in Admin > Resource Management > Gatekeeper/SIP server •Gateway Definition tab in Admin > Resource Management •ISDN Topology tab in Admin > Network Management. The ISDN Topology tab is only displayed when the gateway is enabled •Terminal Definition tab in Admin > Resource Management •All Meetings section accessible via the Admin sidebar menu •User Management section accessible via the Admin sidebar menu •Advanced Settings section accessible via the Admin sidebar menu. •Other Settings tab in the Scheduling a New Meeting and in Meeting Details windows. •Customization Tool button on upper-right of the application window that provides access to the Customization Tool window in which you can customize terminology in the Resource Manager web interface. •Meeting Scheduling and Meeting Templates sections accessible via the User sidebar menu •My Meetings section accessible via the User sidebar menu The following procedure describes how to perform basic functions on the UI Settings tab: Procedure Step 1 Click the UI Settings tab. Step 2 To hide a Resource Manager Web user interface area listed on the UI Settings tab, uncheck the relevant check box. Step 3 To display a Resource Manager Web user interface area listed on the UI Settings tab, uncheck the relevant check box. Step 4 Click Save. Using the Customized Settings Tab On the Customized Settings tab, you can add, delete or modify time zone settings. Including and Removing Custom Time Zones The Customized Time Zone(s) area lists Java standard time zones, as well as custom defined time zones. Procedure Step 1 To view a time zone profile, click a time zone in the Customized Time Zone section. Step 2 Use the left- and right-pointing arrows to assign or unassign a time zone to the select list. Only selected time zones are displayed in the web interface in the user, terminal, and meeting time zone fields. You can define a subset of all available time zones in the Select Time Zones list. This enables you to expose only the relevant time zones to the end users in the web interface. Step 3 To add an available time zone to the list, click New located below the Available Time Zones list. A Configuration Tool window opens in which you define the custom time zone. Step 4 In the Time Zone Name field, enter the name of the new time zone. Note A time zone name cannot be changed after it is saved. Step 5 To define the time difference in relation to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), in the Time Difference from GMT section, select an hour and a minute value. Step 6 If the time zone takes into account daylight saving time, check Observes Daylight Saving. The fields in the lower section of the window become active. Step 7 In the Daylight Saving field, enter the daylight saving time value for the time zone, in minutes. Step 8 To specify when daylight savings time begins, in the DST Start Time section, click one of the option buttons, depending on how you prefer the date and time to be displayed, and then select from the date and time lists to specify the precise start time. Step 9 To specify when daylight savings time ends, in the DST End Time section, click one of the options buttons, depending on how you prefer the date and time to be displayed, and then select from the date and time lists to specify the precise end time. Note We recommend that you select the same date and time display for both the start and end times. Step 10 Click Save. Step 11 To delete an available time zone from the list, select a custom defined time zone from the Available Time Zones list and then click Remove located below the Available Time Zones list. To delete a select time zone from the list, select a custom defined time zone in the Select Time Zones list and then click Remove located below the Select Time Zones list. Step 12 Click Close. On the Custom Settings tab, the new time zone appears in the list in the Custom Time Zones area. To delete a time zone from the Custom Time Zones list, before you save your settings, click on the time zone in the list, and then click Remove. To reset Custom Time Zones to the original list, before you save your settings, click Reset to undo settings. If you create a custom time zone that has the same name as the key string in a default Java time zone, the new custom time zone overrides the rules of the default Java time zone. Because the start time for daylight saving time in the USA is scheduled to change in the year 2007, the changes that reflect the new daylight saving time rules must be made in the definition of a custom time zone and then saved with a name that is identical to the main string of the Java default time zone. Customizing Billing You can customize some aspects of billing for meeting scheduling, including a custom billing field label, and the value format. Procedure Step 1 From the Billing Code Field property list, select one of the following display rules: •Show the field as mandatory •Show the field as optional •Don't show the field Step 2 To include a customized field label, click Customized Field Label, and then in the field that becomes active, enter the custom text for the billing code field. Step 3 In the Field Length field, enter the maximum number of characters allowed in the Billing Code field. Step 4 If you want the billing code length to be restricted according to the maximum field length that you specify, check Enforce Full Length. Step 5 From the Field Type list, select one of the following options for a permissible field code •Any •Alphabetic •Alphanumeric •Numeric Step 6 Click Save. Using the Database Settings Tab On the Database Settings tab, you can configure database server settings. Procedure Step 1 In the Server name field, the default database server name appears and can be modified if necessary. Step 2 In the Server Port field, the database port number of the database server automatically appears. Step 3 In the Connection Account field, enter the user account name used by Resource Manager to connect to the database. "Root" appears by default. Step 4 In the Connection Password field, enter a password for use by Resource Manager when a connection to the database server is established. Step 5 To make sure the database configuration is correct, click Test. A message window shows the test results. Step 6 To revise the settings on the Database Settings tab, click Reset. The values on the tab are reset. Step 7 Click Save. Step 8 To apply changes, restart Resource Manager. Using the Security Settings Tab On the Security Settings tab, you configure password and other security settings. Procedure Step 1 On the System Configuration tab, click the Security Settings tab. Step 2 For a password to appear in the user profile, check Display password in user profile. Step 3 To enable password modification in the user profile, click Modify password in user profile. Step 4 To restrict passwords to secure passwords only, check Allow only secure passwords. Step 5 In the Minimum password length field, enter the total number of characters and digits allowed in a password. Step 6 In the Password to expire in <n> day(s) field, enter a value in days. This is the amount of time that a password is valid. Step 7 In the Maximum Login attempts field, enter the maximum number of times a user can enter an incorrect password, after which Resource Manager rejects further attempts. Step 8 In the Cannot be the same as the last <n> password(s) field, enter the amount of previous passwords that are considered in relation to a new password. Step 9 If you want a log in message to appear in Resource Manager, check display login message, and then in the free-text field that becomes active, enter the log in message text. Step 10 Click Save. Using the CDR Configuration Tab Call Data Records (CDRs) are created and stored in XML format by Resource Manager when the Enable XML CDR option is checked in the CDR Production tab. The CDRs contain comprehensive records of each call. These records are useful for analyzing and tracking system use, as well as for supporting diagnostics and billing.For detailed technical information about the XML tags used in the CDRs, and their attributes, see Chapter 16, "CDR XML Tags and Attributes". On the CDR Production tab, the system administrator enables or disables the production of CDRs and adjusts CDR-related variables. Procedure Step 1 To enable the production of CDRs in XML format, check Enable XML CDRs. Step 2 To enable CDR data for meetings scheduling, check Enable CDR for meeting scheduling. Step 3 To enable CDR data for meeting rescheduling, check Enable CDR for meeting rescheduling. Step 4 To enable CDR data for meeting cancellation, check Enable CDR for meeting cancellation. Step 5 In the Minimum connection required to produce CDRs field, enter a value in seconds for the minimum length of time a terminal must be connected before an entry for that terminal is created in the Actual Information section of the CDR. If the terminal is connected to a meeting for the specified minimum time or longer, the CDR records the actual connection time as the total connection time for that terminal. If a terminal is connected to a meeting for less than the specified minimum time, the CDR records the total connection time for that terminal as zero in the CDR. Step 6 In the File prefix name field, the default prefix "CDR" appears. Enter a different prefix, if required. The prefix appears at the beginning of the CDR file name. Note A standard Resource Manager installation creates a directory named Resource Manager in the Program Files directory (for example, C:\Program Files\Cisco Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager\Resource Manager). CDR files are stored in a default sub-directory cdrdata. For example, C:\Program Files\Resource Manager\cdrdata\cdrfilename.xml. Step 7 To specify how often CDRs are produced, choose one of the following options: •One file per meeting—One CDR file is created for each meeting occurrence. •One file every day—This is the default selection. The CDR file contains information for every scheduled meeting within a 24-hour period. Note CDR file names are labeled by date, followed by a sequential identifier. Note Filename suffixes are sequential regardless of how often a CDR is produced, and even if a different CDR production-time option is selected. Step 8 To allow streaming to a Radius server for billing purposes, check Use RADIUS server. The related fields become active. Step 9 In the IP Address field, enter the IP address for the Radius server. Step 10 In the Port field, enter the port designated for use by the Radius server. Step 11 In the Shared Secret field, enter a password for the Radius server. The shared secret password is used by Resource Manager and the Radius server exclusively, as part of the security system. Note If you do not select Use RADIUS server, the IP Address, Port and Shared Secret fields include read-only information by default.
