Hi,
You can visit the Planning guide for Cisco Webex Meeetings Server which says
Because of architectural differences,there is no migration path (for existing user accounts, customizations,
and meetings) from CiscoUnifiedMeetingPlace to Cisco WebExMeetings Server.These are two distinct
products.

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 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 8.0 + Webex Node?

Hello to all,
We have purchased two IBM 7835 servers with the intention of building on as meeting place 8.0 (EMS) and one as a webex node,
The question I have is about the placement of the servers.
I have read the SRND and are still not sure where the webex node (collaboration) server is to be placed, the docs say this should typically be on the
inside network closest to participants
Also where is the best placement for the MP 8.0 server DMZ or Inside the nework,
I guess the collaborative model we are looking at is the
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace with Cisco WebEx Node for Cisco MCS
Any help or docs would be well appreciated.
Thanks
Rich

Hi all,
I encounter the same constraint, so I want to ask you :
We've deployed a Meeting place8.0.0.393 in LAN. Then a Webex Node for MCS will be added.
The concern is that Meeting place is deployed in that LAN, then the WebexNode will be installed there also (on premise).
Thus the DNS that will be used is like "myenterprise.local". ( mpapps1.myenterprise.local and wbxNode1.myenterprise.local)
Its not like .com or .org or any domain reachable from Intenet. the .local is not reachable from Internet.
So my question is : is it possible to use this domain.local in the place of the place of the FQDN of the webex node and Application Node fields?

Antra

Meeting place 8.0 and WebEx Node Integration issue.

Hello All,
We have installed MP 8.x and Webex node on seperate servers. After this we have installed a webserver.exe and sql server on a different server and configured the GatewaySIM and sql. connectivity is fine.
1. Please let us know how to login to MP user portal. (What is the URL)
2. How to integrate Webex with MP?
3. Is there a good document to bring up the webex web interface.
Regards,
Shaijal

Take a look at http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Release_8.0_--_Integrating_Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_with_Cisco_WebEx
That has all the information I used to eventually get the MP WebEx integration to work for us.
If you have problems you may struggle to get a good answer from Cisco on this, unfortunately there is very little knowledge of WebEx within Cisco TAC, something they badly need to address.

Question in Cisco Unified Meeting Place 8.5 with Webex integration

Greetings,
Let us say that I have the following requirements for fresh installation:
UCS C210-M2
CUWL-Pro for users (700 users)
CUCM 8.6
Cisco unified Meeting Place 8.5
My concern is about Meeting place; one of the requirments is to order Meeting Place 8.5 for local (on-premises) audio conferencing, and use Cisco Webex (cloud) for Web & Video conferencing.
I have the following questions:
- What part numbers should be ordered for meeting place and Webex?
- CUWL-Pro comes with Webex ports included, can use those ports?
Thanks in advance..

Hi Anand,
For MP 8.5 new setup, you don't need a web server. Web server is an optional component only when you are upgrading the system from earlier MP releases.
If you are installing Webex node, it needs to be on a seperate MCS server (however, this is an optional component).
Application server and Express Media Server require only one UCS server if this is single node deployment.
Hardware requirements for application server and Webex node can be found in the following documents:
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Release_8.5_--_Hardware_Requirements#Application_Server_Requirements

Meeting Place 8.6 Integration with Webex

Hi, I would like to get a better understanding of workflow and packet flow for MP 8.6 integration with Webex.
My customer is looking to initiate an on prem meeting with MP 8.6 via outlook scheduling /jabber (if possible). All audio and video would be on prem. Also, this would be a multipoint video call, so I am assuming an MCU would be required (unless MP 8.6 provide MCU capabilities).
Then, through a federated IM environment, my customer would like to be able to chat with an external partner via jabber and escalete the on prem MP8.6 conference to a Webex meeting to add the external partner to the meeting.
Questions
1. Are you able to walk me through how this would work?
2. Can you recommend a bill or materials based on the scenario and facts below? Right now I am assuming we need CUWL professional for required users, a UCS C210, an MCU and Webex subscription.
Current Assumptions & Questions
1. In this scenario the audio bridge would have to remain on prem and the external partner could request a call from meeting place to join the audi bridge back via Webex. Correct?
2. If am MCU is being used on prem for the multipoint video conference and the conference was escalated to a webex via jabber how many video connections to Webex would there be? Single multiplexed video from the MCU or individual video connections from on prem to Webex and Webex would combine the video sources?
3. Is Webex Node still required?
4. With MP 8.6 is scheduling still tightly integrated with Outlook?
Facts:
1. Users are a combination of CUWL standard and professional. Professional users for conferencing and mobile jabber.
2. Customer has TP envrironment which would be multipoint video participants
3. Customer has compatible CUCM and CUPS with MP 8.6
4. Jabber desktop will be installed on all clients
5. Customer is expanding PRI, ISR and DSP resources to support additional audio requirements

All - what have discoverd is Meeting Place node is going away. Meetings will be held in Webex moving forward and MP should be used as an on prem audio bridge only. Some new WebEx solutions are on the roadmap.

Meeting Place 8.0 + Webex Scheduling

We are using MP 8 with WebexNode for mcs, when opening a meeting, we always have to check the box 'allow external participants' otherwise we are disconnected from the meeting.
Can anyone suggest what setting may be causing this please.
Cheers
Rich

Rich,
This is not normal behavior. I am not sure what is causing this problem so need to understand a little more about your environment.
I assume you have a WebEx Node for internal meetings and the internal meetings work OK? Now with the above mentioned check box checked all meetings default to the being external in the cloud though you can still schedule internal meetings.
Does your WebEx support SSO and integrated with MP for security and profile maintenance?
Are you on the network when you try to join these meetings?
Can you sign-in as the host?
If you have the WebEx Node you have internal licenses?
Sorry for all the questions.

Meeting place 7.0 compatibility C20 and Movi.

Hi,
I need your help to know if the C20 and Movi devices is compatibility to works with meeting place 7.0. I've checked the cisco documentation and this devices has not been tested with this version.

Meeting Place and Webex Call Back Failing

Hi
Meeting place 8.5 with WebEx scheduling, SIP trunk to CUCM 8.5.
Calling in using the specified number configured in call manager completes over the SIP trunk however call back from webex fails.
Error:
WebEx call back failed; no answer.
Problem is I never recieve a call. I have enabled Webex call backs in webex.
Seems like there is an issue on either MP or CUCM.
Just looking for some ideas as I am stumped.

This turned out to be a few things:
1) I needed to configure a SIP proxy to CUCM from meeting place. This was the CUCM IP address and TCP port number.
2) The SIP trunk security profile needed to be reconfigured for this trunk.
3) E164 was being used so I created a translation pattern to strip the + for the CSS associated with the RP.
A few things learned along the way.
1) The "activity" command ran from a SSH prompt with allow you to simulate a call from meeting place. Option 4, enter the number to dial and "f" for port.
2) In meeting place - Services -Logs - System Information Capture - Loading the index file and under the CCA SIP LOG is the error being returned by CUCM. In my case it was Warning: 399 CSLCCM1 "Unable to find a device handler for the request received on port
3) Command "cptrace" again from the SSH prompt will allow you to view the digits being sent from webex to meeting place.
I hope this information helps someone...

Webex (cloud) integrated with Meeting Place 8.5 no audio record

Meeting Place 8.5 fully integrated with Webex. Webex scheduling is used. Meeting participants use Webex for the sharing of video and desktop. Meeting participants call into the Meeting Place Server for audio. Recording is turned on by the Host on Webex. Recording is saved. When recording is played back, cannot hear any audio from that I was assuming is recorded on the Meeting Place Server. I need guidance on how to get audio recording of meeting using Meeting Place as the audio conference bridge. Host user is setup on Webex to use Meeting Place server. As far as I can tell users are set up correctly. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Thomas,
Is this a new deployment or a production environment?
What exact version for MeetingPlace 8.5 do you have?
Was recording working before and just stopped, or it never worked?
Can you attach the screen shot of "MeetingPlace Administration Center > Cisco WebEx Configuration > Cisco WebEx Site Configuration"?
Can you attach the screen shot of your "WebEx Site Administration > Manage Site > Site Settings > View Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Integration Settings page" page?
How recording works:
When you start a meeting in WebEx, and participants join audio on MeetingPlace, and you click Record button, WebEx dials in to MeetingPlace using the "NBR Dial-out Number" configured in "WebEx Site Administration > Manage Site > Site Settings > View Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Integration Settings page" and joins the meeting with recording user credentials automatically generated by the system and initiates recording of the audio portion of the meeting. Audio and web recording are afterwards mixed in the cloud and available for playback.
Issues seen with recording:
1. "NBR Dial-out Number" is wrong (wrong Access number is provided when Cisco WebEx Site Configuration was configured).
2. DTMF digits weren't passed properly to MeetingPlace when WebEx dialed in to MeetingPlace to join the meeting and start the recording. However, in those case you would probably hear MeetingPlace prompts in the recording and not silence.
3. Recording wasn't triggered properly in WebEx and needs investigation (investigation with WebEx support)
4. Recording couldn't be started on MeetingPlace and needs investigation (logs, TAC case, etc.)
I hope this information is helpful for the start.

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.

Meeting Place 8.5 Active users being moved to default group

Customer has multiple groups set up in Meeting Place 8.5 server which is getting Users from a Call Manager (8.5).
Intermittantly different Users are moved from their correct group into default group. Random occurance.
Users have not changed anything in their profile. This has happened several times in the past. Customer has to manually go in and move the User back into the correct group. New install of MP 8.5. Ideas appreciated.
Thank you.

All - what have discoverd is Meeting Place node is going away. Meetings will be held in Webex moving forward and MP should be used as an on prem audio bridge only. Some new WebEx solutions are on the roadmap.

Meeting Place 8.0: Conference Manager roles can be customized?

Hi,
we are deploying Meeting Place 8.0. When we use Conference Manager to monitor a Conference, the user with the "attendant" role is able to see all the conferences on the System (active, scheduled, etc.) and the detail of them, for example, the password for that meeting, ID of the meeting, etc. and take actions for all meetings (lock it, end it, record it, etc.).The customer wants to have a user with the "attendant" role for each area (within his organization) but he wants the "attendant" to see only the conferences assigned to him or to his area.
Does anyone knows if it is possible to limit an "attendant" (role of a user) to see, or moderate only a conference that might been assigned to him or to his group.
Thanks

Vicente,
There is no way to limit what meetings an Attendant can see. The design was more around a help desk person assisting in the meeting management for large meetings. For smaller meetings the host can manage their own meetings.
Are these audio only meetings or is your system integrated with WebEx? With WebEx the host has full conrtol over the meeting using the web interface. Through the web interface they can mute and remove any meeting participants that they do not want in a meeting, also lock the meeting and record the session. The one thing they can't do is move participants into breakout session. Audio only meetings there is less control but the host can still remove the last participant and mute all participants, lock the meeting and start and stop recordings.
Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything.
John
