Database Planning

---

This chapter describes the categories of information you need for configuring the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server database:

•Company-Specific Information

•System Configuration Information

•User Information

•Database Planning Worksheets

The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace database includes four types of information, as described in Table 5-1.

Table 5-1 Database Information Types

Information Type	Description
Company-specific information	Tailors Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for your company. It includes general information, administrative information, and information that controls meeting scheduling. See the "Company-Specific Information" section.
System configuration information	Identifies the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace hardware and software. It also describes the interface between your system, the telephone network, and the LAN. See the "System Configuration Information" section.
User information	Identifies who has access to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace functions and which system functions are available to each person. See the "User Information" section.
Meeting settings information	Identifies the various meeting categories that have been created. See the "Database Planning Worksheets" section.

Company-Specific Information

Company-specific information includes general information about your company and parameters that tailor the way Cisco Unified MeetingPlace operates. This information limits the total number of user licenses that can be involved in meetings at one time and determines meeting scheduling criteria. It also defines system-wide defaults for managing meetings.

Table 5-2 describes the information you need to:

•Decide what default scheduling and usage parameters Cisco Unified MeetingPlace should use

•Define port availability for meetings

Table 5-2 Company-Specific Information

Information	Description
Usage parameters	Usage parameters establish default values for the parameters that control basic Cisco Unified MeetingPlace operations. These parameters govern security, alarm handling, getting assistance, and outdial. The Usage Parameters window includes a default time zone for the location of the system. This time zone is calibrated to the system's internal clock.
Scheduling parameters	Meeting scheduling parameters control the meetings scheduled at your location. The settings determine how many conference ports on your system can be reserved for meetings at one time.
Meeting guard times	The Scheduling Parameters window includes meeting guard times, which ensure that meetings do not overlap each other and that two meetings are not scheduled back-to-back with the same meeting ID number. Guard times may also determine how early someone can call into a meeting before its scheduled start time, how long a meeting can be extended, and when ports should be released. Back-to-back reservationless meetings are allowed regardless of guard times. The guard time for reservationless meetings is equal to 0 (zero). For more information, see the Administrator Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Release 5.3.
Company information	Company information describes your organization, such as your company name, address, and the names and telephone numbers of people who will be primary contacts for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace service representatives, and whom to call when you need help with the system.
Flex fields	System administrators can customize specific meeting fields to your particular business needs. Use flex fields to track company- or site-specific information by profile or meeting. Flex fields record information to specify the type of field, title associated with the field, import title used for reporting, protection level of the field, whether users must choose field values from a list of possible entries (which you create), and whether a flex field requires a value.

System Configuration Information

System configuration information controls how Cisco Unified MeetingPlace operates at your company. You provide two types of configuration information:

•Information describing the telephony and video configuration

•Information describing the LAN to which Cisco Unified MeetingPlace is connected

Telephony Configuration Information

Telephony configuration information includes port access information that determines which services are available to callers.

Telephony configuration information also describes the type of signaling used by each port. Because multiple ports can use the same signaling, the database lets you organize any of the 1152 Cisco Unified MeetingPlace ports into port groups. Port groups define signaling information for multiple ports simultaneously.

This section describes the information you need to:

•Assign an access type to each port

•Decide whether to define port groups

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Port Access Types

The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace services available to callers are determined by the port access type that the system assigns to the call. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace includes three port access types, as described in Table 5-3.

Table 5-3 Port Access Types

Port Access Type	Description
Meeting access	Allows callers to attend meetings.
Profile access	Allows callers to attend meetings, schedule meetings, and listen to recorded meetings and messages, and change information in their user profiles. For more information, see the "User Information" section. Callers without user profiles cannot schedule meetings and do not have user profile privileges.
Combined access	Available only to users with user profiles. Combined access allows callers to attend meetings, schedule meetings, listen to recorded meetings and messages, and change information in their user profiles.

When Cisco Unified MeetingPlace receives dialed number information (DID/DNIS), the port access type the system assigns to a call is determined by the access type assigned to the telephone number used to reach it.

When Cisco Unified MeetingPlace does not receive dialed number information, the port access type that the system assigns to a call is determined by the access type you assign to the port that is handling the call.

Defining Telephony Access

Table 5-4 describes the telephony access by country.

Table 5-4 Telephony Access

Country	Telephony Access
European Union	Cisco Unified MeetingPlace can receive both DDI/DNIS and ANI/CLI (the European equivalent of ANI) when it is connected to the telephone network through E1 PRI trunks.
Hong Kong	Cisco Unified MeetingPlace can receive both DNIS and Automatic Number Identification (ANI) when it is connected to the telephone number through T1 PRI trunks.
U.S. and Canada	Cisco Unified MeetingPlace can receive dialed number information (DID/DNIS or DDI information) when it is connected to the telephone network through T1 trunks using E&M Wink Start signaling. When the system receives dialed number information, you can assign different port access types to blocks of telephone numbers and reserve the numbers in each block for certain uses. Dialed Number Information (DNI) digits can be received with T1 PRI trunks. In addition, T1 PRI can provide Calling Party Number information, which T1 CAS does not usually provide.

For example, you can assign the following:

•Meeting access to one block of numbers to reserve those numbers for callers who only want to attend a meeting

•Profile access to a third block for callers with profiles

•Combined access to a fourth block for all callers

If Cisco Unified MeetingPlace receives dialed number information, you must decide how many numbers to reserve for each use. If the system does not receive dialed number information, the configuration information you provide for each port determines the port access types.

Creating Port Groups

To configure multiple ports at one time, organize ports into port groups. The configuration information you enter for the port group, which includes a port access type, applies by default to all ports assigned to the group in the absence of either individual port configuration information or a DID/DNIS access plan.

Remember the following information:

•Port groups are optional, although a port must belong to a port group to be used for outdial.

•Default port groups are assigned as follows:

Port Group	For
0	PSTN
1	IP
2	E1
3	T1 PRI

Configuring Individual Ports

Some configuration information for individual ports is included in a port group definition. Unless you want different information for an individual port than for the group, you only provide this information for the group. Individual port information takes precedence over port group information.

Port configuration information includes a port access type. When Cisco Unified MeetingPlace receives dialed number information, the DID/DNIS access plan determines which type is assigned to a call. If, however, the system cannot use the DID/DNIS or DDI information it receives from the network (for example, the network passes incorrect digits to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace), the configuration information you provide for individual ports determines the port access type.

If your system does not receive dialed number information, decide which access types to assign to each port or group of ports that connect Cisco Unified MeetingPlace to the telephone network.

Monitoring Cisco Unified MeetingPlace with SNMP

You can monitor Cisco Unified MeetingPlace by using the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SNMP option. This feature uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Release 1 and supports MIB-II.

If your server has a SNMP management tool, you can configure this feature to give you network status information and management access to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace through your network management system. Trap messages are sent to all configured trap community addresses in the following circumstances:

•The system starts up (coldstart trap)

•The system generates an alarm (there several different trap types)

The SNMP option consists of two components that you must configure:

•Network Management Information, which determines the UDP port number used for SNMP queries and allows SNMP queries to be disabled (for higher security).

•Network Management Communities, which determine the IP address(es) where trap messages will be sent and the community names used for queries (like a password).

---

Caution You must load MIB files into your monitoring system and configure them for the trap messages to display properly. For more information, see the Administrator Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Release 5.3.

---

Server Configuration

Using the Server and NS Site Configuration topics, you enter address information for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server on your LAN. Default information is filled in during installation, but you can make changes based on your planning worksheet information. The parameters also include the number of conference and access ports on each server at your company.

Using the Other MeetingPlace Servers topic, you enter information about your company's other Cisco Unified MeetingPlace servers if you conduct multiserver meetings, whether manual or automatic. These other servers may be geographically dispersed in other states or countries. For more information about multiserver meetings, see the Administrator Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Release 5.3.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server is not aware of DNS. You cannot ping hostnames or use DNS hostnames for configuration.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Port Types

The ports that connect Cisco Unified MeetingPlace to the telephone and video network are classified as access ports and conference ports. All ports are access ports, and a subset of access ports are also preconfigured as conference ports. However, there is no difference between an access port and a conference port.

When the system needs ports to set up a conference call or add people to a call in progress, it allocates them from the pool of available conference ports. If your access ports have all been preconfigured as conference ports and the system requires all available ports, it takes them all. Except for the people attending meetings, no callers can reach Cisco Unified MeetingPlace (for example, to schedule a meeting).

Several safeguards ensure that ports are always available for uses other than conference calls, such as scheduling meetings:

•Some conference ports are classified as contingency ports. The system keeps these ports in reserve so that people who are participating in a meeting can reach a contact or attendant for assistance. A meeting scheduling parameter determines how many ports in your system are contingency ports.

•Some remaining conference ports are classified as floater ports (or floating ports). Floater ports float between meetings, and are used when an additional caller joins a meeting that is already full. A meeting scheduling parameter determines how many ports are floater ports.

•Sometimes your access ports are not all preconfigured as conference ports. The number of conference port licenses you acquire, as listed on your order schedule, is the number of conference ports in your system.

Figure 5-1 shows the uses for access ports and conference ports.

Figure 5-1 Access Ports and Conference Ports Uses

1	Access ports reserved to schedule and listen to recorded meetings	3	Floater ports, reserved to handle unexpected meeting attendance
2	Contingency ports reserved to handle call transfers to contacts for attendant	4	Ports in use or reserved for meetings

User Information

Most people who use Cisco Unified MeetingPlace must be assigned a user profile. User profiles identify and define the limits of user access. The information in each person's user profile identifies the person as an end user, a contact, attendant, or system administrator. User profiles also contain administrative and preference information.

Because multiple users might share common attributes, the database includes user groups, with which you enter information for several users simultaneously. You can also import profile information from another database (for example, from your voice-mail or e-mail system).

A user profile is required for anyone who wants to schedule a meeting, including vendors, consultants, and other people who may not work for your company. People who use Cisco Unified MeetingPlace only to attend meetings or listen to recorded meetings do not need user profiles.

Remember the following information:

•Synchronization between the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace database and a corporate database is automatic if you have Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Directory Services integration installed. For more information, see the Administrator Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Directory Services.

•If no value is specified for a user group field, the default is the value for that field in the guest profile. Ensure you have the correct information by reviewing the guest profile settings before you enter user profiles and user groups.

Creating User Groups

•When you have several users with common attributes, create a user group with those attributes. Then, assign the individual users to the user group. Doing so saves the time and energy of creating and maintaining duplicate information, and reduces errors. The information defined for the user group applies to every user who belongs to the group. (For information about defining user profiles, see the "Creating User Profiles" section.

•Each person who belongs to the user group must also have an individual user profile. When their profile information differs from the information for their user group, the user profile information takes precedence.

We recommend that you create user groups before you create user profiles.

To set up user groups, you can do either of the following:

•Set up groups based on a user's class of service (as described in the "Planning for Groups and Teams" section).

•Define groups by region, department, or level of management, and then assign a contact to represent each functional group. Additionally, your company may define particular groups by their billing codes.

Planning for Groups and Teams

As you plan a database, understanding the differences between the following terms is important:

•Teams define users who will most likely attend the same meeting. Users can belong to multiple teams.

•Groups define users with a shared set of attributes, like common system settings (such as class-of-service or regions) and other common business characteristics (such as departments, levels of management, or billing codes). Users are assigned to only one group.

Table 5-5 shows user groups defined by class-of-service. (Class-of-service is noted by shaded rows.)

Creating User Profiles

Any user who will schedule meetings in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace must have a user profile. User profiles identify each user to the system and classify the system access that each user requires.

The classification assigned to a user determines which Cisco Unified MeetingPlace features the user can access. When users attend meetings, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace identifies them by their user profiles and assigns them privileges based on their profiles. For example, a profile determines whether a person can outdial during a meeting.

To allow users without profiles to attend meetings, a guest profile (profile number 0000) resides on the system. This profile defines the privileges of all guests and is used whenever users do not identify themselves to the system. System administrators can modify the guest profile but they cannot delete it.

The guest profile acts as a template. When you create a user profile, the profile derives its attributes from the guest profile. However, the guest profile does not provide values for the first name, last name, user ID, and profile number fields.

Because two users cannot have the same user ID or profile number, the values for these fields must be unique. Table 5-6 describes suggested values to assign to user IDs and profile numbers that will be easy for your users to remember.

Table 5-6 User Profile Fields Suggested Values

Profile Field	Suggested Value
User ID	Network login, first name followed by last initial, or e-mail address
Profile number	Employee number or telephone/extension number

After you create user profiles, users can change their meeting preferences.

Each person's user profile includes a time zone setting. Set the time zone to reflect the geographical location in which users do business. When a user schedules a meeting, the system uses the home time zone setting to determine the time. For guest profiles, set the time zone to the location of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system.

Remember the following information:

•For a description of each parameter in a user's profile, see Worksheet 5-15  Other MeetingPlace Servers.

•One of the most important settings in the guest profile is whether to allow users to outdial. To help prevent unauthorized outdialing from your system, we recommend that guest participants not be allowed to outdial.

•Reservationless meetings use profile numbers as reservationless meeting IDs. When the Reservationless Meetings feature is turned on, profile numbers cannot match existing meeting IDs. If you try to create a profile number that matches an existing meeting ID, the system notifies you of the conflict. To resolve the conflict, either change the meeting ID or assign a different profile number for the user.

Importing User Profile and Group Information

If the information required for user profiles or user groups already exists in another database, such as an e-mail directory, a voice-mail directory, or a human resources database, you can import the profile information directly into the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace database. Use either of these options:

•Importing with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Directory Services

•Importing Files Manually

Importing with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Directory Services

Using a directory service, a company can store information about all its resources and personnel in one place, and allow other applications to access that information from a single source. Using the Directory Services integration application decreases the cost of managing information, which increases control and consistency of information, and makes security uniform across applications.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Directory Services synchronizes information in your corporate directory server with information in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server. It interacts with common corporate directories such as Microsoft Active Directory and Netscape Directory Server through Lightweight Data Access Protocol (LDAP).

Information about new employees is entered into the corporate directory when they join the company. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Directory Services detects the addition and instantly creates a profile for new employees. As employees change departments and offices, their contact information changes. To ensure that Cisco Unified MeetingPlace has the most accurate information, changes to a person's information in the corporate directory are recognized and replicated on Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Directory Services. These automatic profile updates ease system use and limit calls to the help desk.

For more information, see the Administrator Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Directory Services.

Importing Files Manually

If you do not have Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Directory Services installed, you must complete a manual file import. To simplify this process, you can import only those fields that contain profile- or group-specific information, such as user IDs, profile numbers, group names, group numbers, and contact information (such as e-mail addresses and phone numbers).

Before you perform a manual file import, remember the following information:

•Only the User ID (Uid) and Profile number (Prfnum) fields are required. Any fields that are not included in the import file automatically derive their value from either the guest profile or the user group to which the user has been assigned.

•If you do not assign users to groups, make sure the settings in the guest profile are correct for the users you add to the system. For example, to allow users to outdial from meetings when the value of the guest profile's Can Call Out from Mtgs parameter is No, change this setting in the guest profile before importing the profiles. After importing, make sure the values for the guest profile are correct.

•If you assign users to groups, you must include the Group Name or Group Number field in the import file.

•You must use unique values for the user ID and profile number. For example, if you import the data from your voice-mail system, use each person's telephone number as the profile numbers. If an e-mail system database is your source, use the person's e-mail user ID as the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace user ID. If used, the group name and group number values must also be unique.

In Table 5-7, note the following points:

•Items marked with an asterisk (*) identify user-specific fields. These are the most important fields to include in the import file when adding users to the system.

•Items marked by two asterisks (**) identify group-specific fields. These are the most important fields to include in the import file when adding groups to the system.

•Use the entries in the Field Length column for fields whose value length is limited.

•For the Type of Value or Value Choices column, active values can be y or yes; n or no; gd or group default. Values are not case sensitive.

•For the First Search, Second Search, and Third Search fields, entering gd in any of these fields automatically enters the same value in the other two search fields. (For example, entering gd in First Search enters gd in the Second Search and Third Search fields.)

Required File Format

The import file must be a .csv file or a comma-delimited ASCII file (an unformatted or flat file). The first line of the file is a group of keywords that acts as a header and identifies the order in which data appears in all subsequent lines.

For example, if each line of information starts with the first name of the user and then lists the person's last name, user ID, profile number, phone number, contact user ID, group name, and time zone code, it would look like this:

fnm,lnm,uid,prfnum,phnum,ctcuid,name,tzcode

Chris,Lee,Lee,206,5551234,Patton,system,87

Pat,Park,Park,202,5556789,Patton,system,87

Before creating an import file, remember the following information:

•Any spaces placed at the beginning or end of a value is automatically deleted during the import process unless the value and the leading or ending spaces are enclosed in double quotation marks (" "). Spaces within a value (for example using Tech Support for a billing code) are imported without being deleted.

•Any commas used in a value must be enclosed in double quotation marks, as in "Lee,Chris" for a user ID.

•Text types are not case sensitive.

Address 2	IP address of alternative NTP host.	0.0.0.0	Dotted decimal format
Address 3	IP address of alternative NTP host. (See notes after this worksheet.)	0.0.0.0	Dotted decimal format

Remember the following information:

•To prevent users from assigning custom meeting IDs (such as 1234), set this value to No. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace assigns a randomly generated ID to all meetings scheduled from then on. Although vanity meeting IDs are easy for users to recognize and identify, they also make it easier for hackers or uninvited participants, to gain unauthorized access.

•When the Allow Vanity Mtg IDs field is Yes, you can restrict groups or individual users from assigning vanity IDs to meetings scheduled by phone. To do so, in the Configure tab, select User Profiles or User Groups. For the Can Chg Mtg ID Via Phone attribute, choose No. User profiles inherit the group setting, but you can change it for individual users.

•Alternative NTP hosts are available if one or more NTP servers is down or inaccessible. Also, if all three hosts are accessible and one is inconsistent, the inconsistent one is ignored.

Overbook ports:	N x 30%
Floater ports:	N x 30%
If R>=50%
Immediate meetings:	0
Overbook ports:	N x 15%
Floater ports:	N x (R + 25%)

–R = percentage of traffic used for reservationless meetings

–N = total number of conference ports including capacity assurance (CAP)

–30% can be substituted for standard operating percentage

•On a system with reservationless only meetings, use the following guidelines to configure your system. These guidelines maximize the port utilization and capacity of your system.

.

If R = 100%
Immediate meetings:	4
Overbook ports:	N
Floater ports:	N

–R = % of traffic used for reservationless meetings

–N = total number of conference ports including capacity assurance (CAP)

•Make sure the total number of scheduling ports available (including overbook ports) is equal to or greater than the largest meeting size you anticipate scheduling. For a new system, these guidelines are good defaults, but keep the current settings for a system that is already configured.
