1 Planning to Deploy IBM Lotus Sametime Web Conferencing with Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Connector Deployment

When you integrate IBM Lotus Sametime with Desktop, your users can add real-time multipoint video and audio to Sametime Web meetings. To accomplish this, you must associate a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server with an IBM Lotus Sametime community deployment.

You use two modules for the integration:

•Sametime Connector, a Sametime Community Server application that runs as part of the Desktop Middleware

•Sametime Meeting Room Client Javascript extension that creates the user interface inside the Sametime Meeting Room Client

Sametime Connector detects the start of a Sametime meeting and attaches meeting attributes along with an ID of Desktop ad-hoc meeting which is generated at that time. The Javascript extension is loaded with the Meeting Room Client when a user joins a Sametime meeting and pulls the video meeting information from the meeting so that all attendees transparently join the same video meeting.

Simple Sametime Deployments

Use this diagram when planning your Sametime Deployment.

Figure 1 Simple Sametime Deployment

Multiple Sametime Community Hubs Deployments

In deployments described in this section, there may be multiple community hubs. If you want users on all hubs to be able to add video to their meetings, there needs to be a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server dedicated to each community hub.

Figure 2 Multiple Sametime Community Hub Deployment for non-propagated meetings

Alternatively, meetings may be hosted on different Sametime Servers. In this case, the meeting information and attributes are propagated from the home Sametime Server to the other server as shown on Figure 3.

Installing the Sametime Connector on the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server

Procedure

---

Step 1 Copy the installation files to a folder on the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server.

Step 2 Double-click the install.vbs file.

Step 3 Click OK in the confirmation message.

When the installation is completed, a message is displayed explaining that the Sametime Connector is installed and the log file is created.

Preparing the Sametime Servers

•Enabling Community Services Connectivity

•Installing the Meeting Room Client Javascript Extension

Enabling Community Services Connectivity

To prepare the Sametime server for the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Connector for IBM Lotus Sametime Web Conferencing, you must edit the Sametime configuration. Open the IBM Domino Administrator Application and change the IP address configuration of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server to allow connection to Community Services. Perform this procedure on every Sametime server which has a Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server associated with it.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Open the IBM Domino Administrator application.

Step 2 Click the Domain tab.

Step 3 Click the Files tab.

Step 4 Navigate to this location: \Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Domino\Data.

Step 5 Double-click the Sametime Configuration file.

Step 6 Click By Form in the left pane.

Step 7 Right-click the CommunityConnectivity, and then select Edit.

The form opens.

Step 8 Enter the IP address of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server in the Community Trusted IPS field.

Step 9 Click File > Save.

Installing the Meeting Room Client Javascript Extension

To enable the video integration, you need to copy a file to the Sametime server. This file was placed on the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server during the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Connector installation.

Procedure

---

Step 1 On the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server, navigate to this location:

Program Files\Cisco\Desktop\SametimeWeb\

Step 2 Copy the SDMrcExtension.js file.

Step 3 On the Sametime server, navigate to this location:

\Program Files\Lotus\Domino\data\domino\html\sametime\jsext

Step 4 Paste the copied file into this location.

Configuring the Sametime Settings on the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server

You need to configure the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server to work with the Sametime Server.

Before You Begin

•Access the Desktop Administration web user interface.

•Verify the Sametime Server address.

•Verify which port on the Sametime Server you need to assign to the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Click Sametime in the sidebar.

Step 2 Enter the Sametime Server address.

Step 3 Enter the port on the Sametime Server.

The default port is 1516.

Step 4 Enter the meeting prefix for the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server to use for the Sametime meetings.

Step 5 If necessary, set the number of video panes displayed in the Conference Client pane when it is opened in the Sametime Meeting Room window:

a. Select Set the initial view that users will see when they join a Sametime meeting.

b. Click one of these options:

•1 Video

•2 Videos

Step 6 If necessary, select Enable Audio in Desktop for Sametime meetings.

Step 7 If necessary, select Allow only the Sametime Meeting Chair to add video to a meeting. This allows a Sametime Meeting chair to control when the video pane is displayed in the user's meeting room client.

---

Note This feature in not available if the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Connector is configured to work with the Sametime Server version 7.5.1.

---

Step 8 If necessary, select Allow only the Sametime Meeting Chair to moderate a meeting. This determines whether audio and video moderation functions are enabled only a Sametime Meeting chair or for all participants in a Desktop meeting.

Step 9 Click OK or Apply.

Step 10 Verify that the connection to the Sametime Server is successful:

a. Click Status in the sidebar.

b. Click the link showing the IP address of the Sametime Server to display the settings.

The indicator next to the link shows whether or not the connection to the Sametime server is successful. When the indicator is red, a tooltip containing error details is available. Click the red indicator to view further error information.
