•Installing the License Keys
•Assigning an IP Address to the CPU
•Verifying the Date and Time on the Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 Series
•Checking the Multi-Server Meeting Configuration
Installing the License Keys
Before you can use the new CPU, you must install the new license keys. The license keys are sent to you via an attachment in an email. The attachment contains all of the license keys from your old CPU, but they are updated for the new CPU.
If you do not receive this email by the time you need to install the new license keys, contact Cisco TAC with the following information:
•the Ethernet (MAC) address of the old CPU
•the Ethernet (MAC) address of the new CPU
•an email address where Cisco TAC can send the license keys
Note A Cisco MeetingPlace system with a new CPU has no license keys and therefore you cannot connect to or open Cisco MeetingTime. However, because you must use Cisco MeetingTime to install the new license keys, Cisco provides a single workstation license with each Cisco MeetingPlace system to allow you to install the license keys.
To install the license keys, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log into Cisco MeetingTime as a technician.
Step 2 Click the Configure tab and select System Options.
Step 3 Click on the entry called Option Key.

Verifying the Date and Time on the Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 Series
After replacing the CPU card and CPU transition module, verify that the date and time for the Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 series are correct.
Step 1 Access the CLI.
Step 2 Log in as a technician. The tech$ prompt appears.
Step 3 At the tech$ prompt, enter date. The display shows the current date, time, and abbreviated time zone as shown on the second line of the following example:
Mon Aug 23 15:07:32 PST 2004
If the date and time are correct, continue to the "Checking the Multi-Server Meeting Configuration" section.
Step 4 If the date and time are not correct, change them by entering date followed by a space and then enter a date or time in any of the following formats:
•yyyymmddhhmm—Year, month, day, hour, minute
•yymmddhhmm—Year, month, day, hour, minute
•mmddhhmm—Month, day, hour, minute
•hhmm—Hour, minute
See the following example:
meetingplace:tech$ date 0408291508
Sun Aug 29 15:08:00 PST 2004
The display shows the new date and time as in the last line of the preceding example. The month, day, hour, and minute values are all two digits, with a zero prefix for values less than 10. For the year, you can either use all four digits of the year (for example, 1998) or just the last two digits (for example, 02 for the year 2002). The hour is in 24-hour format (00 to 23). You can append seconds to any format by adding a period and two digits (for example, .34 means 34 seconds).
