Note This chapter does not provide information about installing and configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly known as Cisco Unified CallManager) for your network. For more information, see the list of documents in the "Additional References" section.
Prerequisites for Configuring Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Phone View
•One primary IP address for communication with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server and Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
Note If Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP Gateway and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing are installed on the same server, you must assign an additional IP address to Web Conferencing, resulting in two IP addresses.
•You must install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing and configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager for your network.
•If you are using Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP Gateway, see the Administration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP Gateway Release 5.2.1 for additional configuration instructions. The guide is available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
•Cisco Unified MeetingPlace IP Phone View required anonymous authentication. If Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is configured to use web authentication other than Directory set to MeetingPlace and Login Method set to Web Page Form, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Cisco Unified IP Phone must be installed on a separate server with a dedicated Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server installed.
•If you use a hostname, domain name system (DNS) must be enabled to resolve the hostname to an IP address.
•Each user must be associated with a Cisco Unified IP Phone. For additional information, see the applicable Cisco Unified Communications Manager administration documentation for your release.
About Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Phone View
Before you configure Phone View, you should understand the following concepts:
•Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Phone View Features
•Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Phone View Components
•Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Phone View Schedule and Attend Process
Note In this chapter, Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960 is referred to as Cisco Unified IP Phone.
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Phone View Features
Phone View integrates with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing to schedule meetings and distribute meeting notifications. Once configured, Phone View enables Cisco Unified IP Phone users to do the following tasks:
•Schedule immediate or future Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meetings
•Attend Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meetings, including multi-site meetings
•Find meetings that are scheduled today or tomorrow
•List meeting participants and display the name of the active speaker
•Delete meetings that are scheduled tomorrow
•Request Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system outdials, as shown in Figure B-1.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Phone View Components
Phone View is comprised of the following components:
•Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system to schedule and confirm meetings
•Cisco Unified IP Phone to access the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace service
•Cisco Unified MeetingPlace H.323/SIP Gateway to perform IP call setup and teardown for the Audio Server system
•Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server to provide access to installed XML phone pages and templates
•Cisco Unified Communications Manager server to add the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace service for Cisco Unified IP Phone users to access
Note Phone View is deployed by using the HTTP protocol from standard web servers, such as Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Phone View Schedule and Attend Process
When Cisco Unified IP Phone users schedule meetings, the scheduling requests are sent to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server, which then passes the request to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system, as shown in Figure B-2. If resources are available for requested meeting times, the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system schedules the meetings and sends the meeting information to schedulers.

About Configuring Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Phone View
Phone View is bundled with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing, installing and extracting its scripts and templates in drive:\Cisco Systems\MPWeb\Scripts and drive:\Cisco Systems\MPWeb\Template.
After Phone View is installed, you must configure Phone View by adding the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace service to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For more information, see the "How to Configure the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Service in Cisco Unified Communications Manager" section.
How to Configure the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Service in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
After Phone View is installed, you must add the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace service to the Cisco Unified IP Phones. This is completed through the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly known as Cisco Unified CallManager) Administration (ccmadmin) web pages.
Do the following procedures:
•To Add Cisco Unified MeetingPlace to the List of IP Phone Services
•To Define Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Service Parameters
•To Troubleshoot the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Cisco Unified IP Phone Configuration
To Add Cisco Unified MeetingPlace to the List of IP Phone Services
This procedure adds the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace service and enables users to access Cisco Unified MeetingPlace by using Cisco Unified IP Phones.
Step 1 Go to http://servername/ccmadmin/main.asp, where servername is the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
Step 2 To access the server, enter your username and Cisco Unified Communications Manager administration password and click OK.
Step 3 From the Feature menu, choose Cisco IP Phone Services.
The Cisco IP Phone Services Configuration window appears.
Step 4 Enter the information in Table B-1 in the Service Information area:
Table B-1 Fields in the Service Information Area
Field and Description
|
Task
|
Service Name—The name of the service that appears on the menu of available services on user service subscription pages and on the Cisco Unified IP Phone.
|
Enter MeetingPlace.
Note If you have more than one Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server, name the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace services appropriately so that users can distinguish among them.
|
Service Description—A description of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server.
|
Enter a brief description.
|
Service URL—The URL to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server where the XML pages are located.
Example: http://hostname/mpweb/scripts/public/7960mp.asp
where hostname is the hostname of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server.
