If Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook will be installed on a separate server to increase capacity, a second server matching the above description is required.

For upgrades from older versions of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook, the following are true:

Deployments involving new servers must use Cisco MCS servers.

For compatibility with future Cisco Unified MeetingPlace releases, we recommend that new installations be installed on a Cisco MCS server.

Upgrade customers should ensure that their servers are exact equivalents to HP or IBM, at the level of at least a Cisco MCS 7835 server. If the server also hosts Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing with more than 50 licenses, then the performance specifications should be equivalent to those of a Cisco MCS 7845 server.

Windows server software requirements
for all installations

See also the next two rows in this table.

For full functionality or for Client Services only (but not for notification services), on the Cisco MCS or Microsoft Windows server, the appropriate release of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing software is required:

For Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook Release 5.3.0.218: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.447.0 or higher.

For Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook Release 5.3.0.138: Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.333.0 or higher.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing must be installed as an Internal (full access) installation and must be running as the primary Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web server.

One of the following Microsoft Outlook clients installed and configured to log in to the Exchange mailbox:

Outlook 2003, Outlook 2000 (Service Release 1 and Service Pack 3) or (for Release 5.3.0 only) Outlook XP. Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) must be installed. CDO must be selected as an option during setup; it is not loaded by default.

The default mail client on this computer must be set to Outlook.

The Outlook client must be completely installed to the local drive. Network installations are not supported.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook does not support "thin clients" (Citrix or Terminal Server).

The Windows login must be identical to the login specified in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook service.

The Windows server and the Exchange Server should belong to the same domain unless they have a trust relationship between them.

For auto-authentication with directory services, Cisco MeetingPlace Directory Services Release 5.3 or higher (For Release 5.3.0.132 or higher) or Cisco MeetingPlace Directory Services Release 4.2.7 or higher (for Release 5.3.0) must be installed with the Network Credentials field populated. For more information on auto-authentication, see information about the Logins tab in the ConfigClient utility in the Administrator Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook, Release 5.3.
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace usernames are case-sensitive, and we recommend that all logins be created lowercase.

Windows server software requirements
for new installations only

See also the "Windows server software requirements for all installations" section.

The Cisco Systems version of Windows 2000 Server operating system, version 2000.2.7 or later (for Release 5.3.0.132 or higher) or version 2000.2.6 or later (for Release 5.3.0). For installation and configuration instructions for the MCS server operating system, see the Administrator Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook, Release 5.3. Apply only operating system updates and patches as provided by Cisco Systems. Updates taken directly from Microsoft and applied to Cisco MCS servers are not supported because they adversely affect the operation of the servers.

Windows server software requirements
for upgrades only

See also the "Windows server software requirements for all installations" section.

Microsoft Windows 2000 Server edition or Advanced Server edition (each with Service Pack 2 or higher), or Windows 2003 Enterprise edition.

NT File System (NTFS) with more than 2.5 GB free space available.

Microsoft IIS 5.0

Network requirements

For the Windows server to communicate with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace audio server, the following requirements must be met:

In a networked PCI environment, the Windows server must be able to open a TCP connection on port 5003 when connecting to the primary Cisco Unified MeetingPlace audio server, and on port 5005 when connecting to each additional Cisco Unified MeetingPlace audio server.

In a standalone PCI or 8100 series environment, the Windows server must be able to open a TCP connection on ports 5003 and 5005 when connecting to the primary Cisco Unified MeetingPlace audio server.

When communicating with the Windows server, the IP address of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace audio server must not be translated using a network address translation scheme.

Connectivity between the Windows server and its host Cisco Unified MeetingPlace audio server must be high quality and not subject to interruptions caused by traffic congestion. Any time the round trip latency increases past 100 ms or there is more than 1% packet loss, a noticeable reduction in service quality can be expected.

End user system

Microsoft Windows ME, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 SE with Service Pack 2, Windows 2000 AS with Service Pack 2, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003.

CPU, hard disk space, and RAM that meet the requirements for end users of Microsoft Outlook and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing.


Compatibility Matrix and Supported Upgrades

For information about the interoperability among the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace products, see the Installation Planning Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 5.3.

Capacity

Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook Release 5.3.0.138 or higher

For a single Cisco MeetingPlace audio server operating at full capacity, one Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook server is sufficient.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook running on an MCS 7845 can support approximately 2700-5400 end-user requests per hour. A request occurs each time a user accesses a calendar appointment that involves Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook; that is, when a user opens an appointment that is associated with a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meeting, or clicks the MeetingPlace tab in an appointment. For planning purposes, you should calculate about two requests per hour per user as heavy usage.

If usage exceeds the guidelines above, users may experience slower performance.

If you expect to use Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing server to its published maximum capacity, you should install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook on a separate server. Otherwise, install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook on the same server as Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing.

Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook Release 5.3.0.132

Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook running on an MCS 7845 can support approximately 2700-5400 concurrent active calendar users, depending on the usage rate. The usage rate is determined by the number of times per hour that an average user accesses a calendar appointment, whether or not that appointment involves Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook. For planning purposes, you should calculate about two requests per hour per user as heavy usage.

If usage exceeds these guidelines, users may experience slower performance.

Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook Release 5.3.

Cisco MeetingPlace for Outlook Release 5.3 can support up to 2000 concurrent Outlook sessions per hour. A session starts when a user double-clicks a time slot in their Outlook calendar (regardless of whether that time slot is designated a Cisco MeetingPlace meeting) and continues for one hour. You should evaluate the number of Outlook users that can be supported in your organization, based on usage patterns of your users.

Cisco Product Security Overview

Cisco provides a free online Security Vulnerability Policy portal at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

From this site, you will find information about how to:

Report security vulnerabilities in Cisco products.

Obtain assistance with security incidents that involve Cisco products.

Register to receive security information from Cisco.

A current list of security advisories, security notices, and security responses for Cisco products is available at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt

To see security advisories, security notices, and security responses as they are updated in real time, you can subscribe to the Product Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS) feed. Information about how to subscribe to the PSIRT RSS feed is found at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_psirt_rss_feed.html

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

For Emergencies only — security-alert@cisco.com

An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered nonemergencies.

For Nonemergencies — psirt@cisco.com

In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

1 877 228-7302

1 408 525-6532


Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been encrypted with PGP versions 2.x through 9.x.

Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.

If you do not have or use PGP, contact PSIRT at the aforementioned e-mail addresses or phone numbers before sending any sensitive material to find other means of encrypting the data.


Obtaining Technical Assistance

Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website

The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do


Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.


Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is down, or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
