Meeting Place Configuration Doc

Hi
I am configuring Meeting Place 8.5. Can anyone please provide me Meeting Place 8.5 basic configuration guide. I have the cisco guide with me. I have created sip trunk in cucm and done basic configuration in Meeting Place server as per cisco guide. But when I test calling meeting place number, the call gets disconnected. Something somewhere I have missed. I have successfully imported the users to the meeting place server. Thank u.

Hi,
Are you using EMS or HMS? Can you make sure you have correct configuration on SIP trunk (CUCM side) and make sure on MP you have configured the correct CUCM configuration under SIP config.
Login to your MP as root and see check below:
1. cd /var/mp
2. ls -l
and see if you see cca directory or not? If not then looks like you configured the MP for HMS but you don't have hardware MCU or possibly MCU is not online or not configure properly.
If you see above directory do below:
cd /var/mp/cca
tail -f tvsip* | grep -e '--'
make a test call and you will see sometihng on your screen, capture the whole stuff and post here will look tell you what's going on but if you don't see any calls coming that means call is not even landing to MP then check your CUCM for possibly PT, CSS, RP, RP, Trunk etc.
Please let me know if you need any more info.
If you need immediate assistance kindly open a TAC case.

Meeting Place 8.5.3.4 - Change Directory Service Configuration

Hi Support Community
We have 3 CUCM clusters version 8.6.2
We have 1 Meeting Place 8.5.3.4 cluster with a primary and standby server
Meeting Place has directory service integration with 1 of the CUCM clusters and performs all user sync and authentication via AXL / LDAP
We now need to change the Meeting Place configuration for AXL server, used for authentication and sync, to another CUCM cluster, this will use exactly the same LDAP search base so all users and details will remain the same in CUCM and therefore we want nothing to change in Meeting Place so all users should remain the same with the same configuration and all meetings should remain the same.
It looks straight forward to change the AXL URL but then we discovered the below from the Meeting Place configuration guide :
" user updates, imports, and deletions are not supported from a redundant Cisco Unified Communications Manager, even if it is integrated with the same LDAP directory as the primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This is because Directory Service user updates are tied to a field that is unique to each Cisco Unified Communications Manager server."
So we need to know how we go about changing the directory service configuration to point to another CUCM cluster for authentication and synchronization whilst keeping Meeting Place users and meetings in the Database unchanged.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Carl Ratcliffe

Hi Carl,
I've just received a final update. If you want to point your Directory Integration to a different CUCM server that is holding the same user database and runs AXL service, you should be able to just change the AXL URL on MP and point to this new server. After this change is made and saved, we recommend restarting services on MeetingPlace (SSH to the server with mpxadmin account, changing to 'root', and running 'mpx_sys restart' command). Once the services are restarted and system comes back up, go to User Configuration > Directory Service > Directory Service Configuration and perform a Full Sync (make sure that Profile Number setting under Profile Number Configuration section is set to New users only in order to avoid any profile # change if any of the user profiles in CUCM was updated in the meantime)
Please, let me know of any questions you might have.
Thank you.

I have a problem with Cisco Meeting Place Express and Exchange Server synchronizing.
The Cisco Meeting Place Settings are
Exchange Server

Language* de_DE en_AU en_GB en_US fr_CA fr_FR
SSL   enabled * true false
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express   Mailbox Account
Windows   domain *

When I type the button test, I receive “Authentication error. Check the authenticated access to the Exchange Server for Microsoft NTLM authentication scheme.”
My Exchange Server is synchronized with MS Active Directory. As far as I know, Kerberous is used for authentication. So, how can I enable NTLM authentication scheme on AD? Are there any other options for Cisco MPE and Exchange synchronization?
Thanks for help
Sincerely yours

Need Urgent Help on Meeting Place Integration with CUCM 7.1 and AS5400 PSTN Gateway

Hi,
This is first time I am on this forum.
I have already tried going through a lot of docs on docwiki.cisco.com but couldn't find complete configuration help.
I have to integrate Meeting Place 8.X with an existing CUCM and an E1 gateway (PSTN Gateway) AS5400.
The CUCM is already part of a Telepresence Environment. I need to create a SIP trunk between AS5400 and CUCM 7.1 and then create a Trunk between AS5400 and Cisco Unified MP 8.X and then between CUMP and CUCM.
I need help on AS5400 SIP Configs as well as parameters I need to cover on CUCM (Though I have done some basic dial-peer configs but they haven't been of much help).
Then I also need help on AS5400 SIP configs with CUMP 8.0
Any docs on Integration between CUMP and TP3000 will be of great help too.
Rgds,
Asim

I can get the Ricoh to register as sip endpoint, it answeres then imediatly disconnects. Doing a monitor with Wireshark looks like it attempts to negotiate t38 but fails. Any idea why this fails?

Meeting Place 8.5 Authentication users fails

Hi all,
My customer have installed The Meeting Place 8.5 and have problem whit the authentication of the users.
They have configured the Directory Service, for import users and use the Meeting Place Conference manager to Schedule the Meetings.
When try to intro to the Conference Managers with a Directory Service user, receive an error "Wrong user ID and password combination"
The user Profile exist in the MP.
I attach some screens.
Please I need your help.
Thanks a lot
Guillermo

Hi Guillermo,
MeetingPlace Conference Manager is meant for users with Attendant or System Manager privileges on the system. Regular End users are not allowed to use Conference Manager and shouldn't be allowed. The same is observed when trying to log in to the Administration Center web interface of MP Application server. Only local user profiles can log in.
Is there a reason why the end users don't use MeetingPlace Outlook plug-in to schedule meetings via their Microsoft Outlook clients?
Here you can find more information about Conference Manager: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace/8_5/english/books/admin_doc_compilation/mp85_admin_documentation/meetingmanager_install.html
As for scheduling via Outlook, you can find more information here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace/8_5/english/books/admin_doc_compilation/mp85_admin_documentation/outlook_integration.html
I hope this will help.

Meeting Place WebEx 8.0 reservationless audio meeting ID issue

We have just converted from Meeting Place Express 2.x to Meeting Place WebEx 8.0 with Type II scheduling. Since this configuration is reservationless, the audio meeting ID is the user's extension by default and it appears there is no way to change the system from always using the same audio meeting ID for the same user. Our issue is that we have many executive admins who book multiple meetings (sometimes overlapping, sometimes back-to-back) and are now having issues. Since the meetings all share the same audio ID, the meetings are stepping on top of one another. Is there some way to allow the users to change the audio ID per meeting or have the system generate an ID for the audio meeting to prevent this issue?

Hi Saurabh,
MCS7835-I3 is supported by MeetingPlace 8.5 for Audio Only solution. You will need to perform the firmware upgrade before installing 8.5, but all that is documented in the installation documentation.
Keep in mind that from MP8.0 to MP8.5, you are transitioning via migration and not via upgrade. This will require taking migration files from MP8.0 server, performing a firmware update, doing a clean installation of MP8.5 and then restoring from migration files.
In order to obtain MP8.5 installation DVD, you have to purchase the MP8.5 upgrade that is usually included in UCSS/ESW contract. If that expired, you will have to consult with your Cisco Account Team on what is the best way to proceed.
Finally, in MP8.0 licensing is port based, while in MP8.5 licensing is host based. Hence, you will need to do a license conversion after migration is completed. Licensing TAC can help you with that.
Here are some useful documents about this:

Meeting place 8.5.1 WebEx deployment and recording audio calls

Have MeetingPlace 8.5.1 application server (Web Ex deployment model -- 1 server) and we need to record our audio calls and that option displays error.
I looked over docs and configuration guidelines, and see no recording options on our config pages for users/user groups like the documentation states to enable this.
Do I need a audiorecording license, and if so, is the WebEx deployment model the correct model to work with recording? The cisco docs on this are not very clear and I haven't found a document that really lists/compares every feature available for each deployment model. The documents that mention audiorecording license talk about an Audio server or meetingplace deployment.
Thanks, Erick

I have this working now, I had to add a 1- to the access number so it was 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX on the Meeting Place web ex configuration page then redo the Webex configuratin setup.

How to change host name and domain name in installed Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0?

Hi
I have Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0 installed on server. Meting Place uses Linux (Red Hat) as base operation system. Please tell me how I can change host name and domain name for Meeting Place Express application to integrate it into corporate domain infrastructure.
Thanks in advance!!!
Sincerely yours
Sergey Bondarenko

Hi
Thanks for your attention for my humble problem.
I have performed Meeting Place Express configuration through the “net” command.
But now unfortunately I can't connect to meeting place through web browser. I just get blank page.
Though I can reach the server with help of ssh. I think my DNS works properly because I can resolve the ip address of cumpxvoice .uclab.com and cumpxweb. uclab.com with help of dig command.
Have you any idea?
A lot of thanks in advance!!
Sincerely yours Sergey Bondarenko
Here I have printed the net configuration output of Cisco meeting Place Express:

Time issue while scheduling meeting in meeting place 8.0

Dear Team,
I am very new to Meeting Place system. Here we have version 8.0 and i am facing below issue.
While scheduling meeting when i have mentioned start time as 13.30 and end after 30 min.
but the issue is user can join the meeting before 13.30 and thats is security issue
i would like to know how to restict this. my requiremnt is user can only join before 10 min.
Regards
Hari

Hi Hari,
Is you MeetingPlace 8.0 integrated with WebEx, or it is an Audio Only solution?
If you are scheduling meetings in Audio Only solution, you can specify "Early meeting start (minutes)" variable in System Configuration > Meeting Configuration.
If you have WebEx integration and WebEx scheduling, you would need to specify a default "Join before host", but every host would have to configure that for their own profile.

Avaya - CUCM -Meeting Place

Hi,
The current integration is between Avaya and CUCM using SIP Trunk, calling from Avaya to Cisco is working fine, however when the calls originate from the Avaya to Meeting place which uses the SIP trunk between Avaya and CUCM the call does not connect. From the logs I can see that 503 Service unavailable which normally means that the DN is not registered to CUCM.
Is there any specific configuration for integration of Avaya with Meetingplace using CUCM.
Thanks,
Vinay

First verify that the Avaya system is passing the MP number via the SIP trunk to CUCM. Then checked what number the Avaya system is passing and if that number is routed to MP. The Avaya system may be translating the MP phone number so it is not being reconized on the CUCM system.

Meeting Place Directories service question

I have just deployed a new Meeting Place 8.0 with LDAP integration.
I have created the LDAP in CCM, and also create the directory services in Meeting Place.
However, when I checked the option "Update Now", it returns with the error
"Directory Service is not running in Active mode. Users will not be updated/deleted."
Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of the Active mode?
Many thanks.

In Directory Service Configuration
for Hostname for Active Directory Service*
you should specify FQDN of App Server. If there is an IP address the above error occurs.
Please find below MPDS.log which explains it all.

Meeting place Webex Node 8.0 Web interface

Hi all,
I just installed Meeting place Webex node , an i want what exactly the URL link to access to this server.
Thanks in advance
Hicham

What I know you can just connect to the servers ip address/DNS name and you will just see a status page like the one attached
There in not much more you can do on the node via web, all configuration is done via the CLI

Meeting Place 8.5.2 FTP backup option missing

Hi All, I have a customer who has meeting place ver 8.5.2 installed BUT the FTP option for the backup is not avalable. Can anyone confirm if this is a licensing issue or a system setting OR failing that is there a decent SSH/RSYNC client they can use that will do it as that is the only option available?
Many Thanks

I can't believe the CIsco BU or whoever left this out. I feel the need to vent. FTP/sFTP has been an option forever, that every customer could easily support/roll-outon their OS of choice. I am struggling getting Rsync going from two new MeetingPlace servers- there appears to be some TCP port 22 incompatiability issue between MeetingPlace 8.5 and our enterprise UNIX platforms- as silly as this sounds.....I do not get SYN ACKs from MeetingPlace Rsync (seen via PCAP) or from SSH requests from mpx CLI. However, CUMP can connect via SSH to routers/vgw's, and laptops can SSH into our UNIX platforms.
The only thing I see different in the SSH SYN is a TSval field from MeetingPlace, but not from laptop clients. (NTP is configured and time is accurate on MPX).
Does anyone have any ideas for my crazy problem?
Thanks!

Meeting Place 7.0 Audio Blade

Hi - We are installing Meeting Place 7.0.2.14 with an IPVC3515-MCU for Audio/Video blade running software version 5.7.0.0.21.
We can route and web to the IPVC directly, and all status for the MCU/EMP are fine.
When we try to add the MCU under resource management through the Meeting Place Media Server Administration it authenticates and synchs the configuration, however, the MCU status remains as offline under Resource Management. I have tried restarting the IPVC and Meeting Place services as well as deleting and adding the MCU - but it still appears as offline.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Brian

@Radim Mutina.
Yes, like I said before, must read carefully the guidance (docwiki.cisco.com)
If You don't read carefully guidance, it's look similar only 1 word different
I face this problem almost 3 days and I almost gave up, want to open TAC
But, finally I found a needle in a stack of hay
Thank You, for rate Me up
