MeetingPlace Express Remote Party Video

Hi there,
is it able to prevent users...better to say remote parties....from receiving video flow??
I want to allow only group of premium users to receive a video flow. But other users must be only "audio-listeners".
Do i have such capabilities in MeetingPlace Express? Or I have to disable Video Capabilities in the CUCM for those users?

You can't. The video broadcast feature of the Adobe Breeze web interface was never implemented in MPE.

CUCM 6 with MeetingPlace Express

Hello,
I have CUCM 6.1 integrated with MeetingPlace Express VT and everything is set up. However, when I test with trying to conference more than 2 users the video ends on everybody's desktop. When it is just 2 users the video shows up fine as soon as I conference in the next person it kicks the video off. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

Sorry, forgot to mention that I have configured everything in CUCM and Meetingplace and created the Video conference bridge and added it to the MRGL. It shows the bridge as registered in both CUCM & MPE
Thanks!

IChat not allowing initiate of multi party video

iChat works for me in almost every case...even iChat to AIM...and even when the remote location is behind 2 NAT routers. It has worked between Tiger and Leopard, between Tiger and PC/AIMver5.9, and other scenarios. However, there is now a problem. I can video chat with user B (Tiger, iMacG5). I can video chat with user C (Leopard, iMac). I can make successful video calls to appleu3test01. I can even initiate multi party video chat with user C and appleu3test01. Typically, connections to user B come up at 1mbps (1000 kbps). I CANNOT initiate a multi party video chat with user B and appleu3test01. The problem is if I call user B first, my iChat will NOT let me add appleu3test01. However, if user B initiates the call, it works....but the video quality is not very good. One note, the video chats with user B typically come up a 400kbps. I have Quicktime set to "1.5mbps T1/LAN". I 've tried iChat set to 500kbps, 1mbps, and none. No other problems (so far) using video chat as initiator or receiver.

P.S.
In addition to my reply about the user B video settings and stacked icons...recall in the original post I noted that user B was able to initiate the multiparty video call just fine, and it worked. This would require him to have the "stacked camera icons", I think. In any case, he did show stacked icons when I initiated the video call, which connected to him just fine as the first participant, but then iChat would balk at my attempt to invite the next participant.
One thing that may be useful is that the message whe I tried to invite the last participant was that the participant was already in a chat...however the last participant's icon was showing as "available" for multiparty conference (ie; stacked icons). Maybe this indication was simply wrong and the last participant may have already been in a chat, especially since that participant was the "appleu3test01" user, which I imagine is very busy
If this is the case, it's just frustrating that iChat would show the user as fully available for multiparty video chat.

MeetingPlace Express 7 or 8 basic audio only solution...help!

I have a customer with an existing UC 7.1.x cluster (a la carte licence) and a legacy MeetingPlace Express 2.1.1.2 solution providing audio conferencing only. The customer now wishes to up-grade the MeetingPlace solution to a latter version for support purposes and to increase the number of ports.
All that is required is the ability to schedule audio conferences and hold ad-hoc meetings; the solution requires 52 audio ports. There are no requirements for Webex external meetings, web or video; all that’s needed is simple audio bridging.
Am I right in thinking that the MCS Node for MP8 has no Webx VoIP/Video support, is an internal solution and is deployed on a single server (MCS)? Looking at various Cisco docs it’s also suggested that a Webex account is still required as MediaTone is extended to site?
Any advise would be greatly received!

Thank you, as I noted here, your post was the key to my getting a Windows 8 SecureBooting setup on a W530.
In the case of Windows 8, I needed to copy the files away, reformat my USB key as FAT32 and copy the files back, and viola I was able to boot from my USB install media with the BIOS set to only boot UEFI. From there, there rest was easy (for Windows 8, the copying and renaming is not necessary, the key is having a FAT32 partition on the USB media, rather than an NTFS one; the EFI files are already in the right location).
Thank you again good sir.
You are welcome... and I'm happy that the change of the file system helps with windows 8 too. Thanks for confirming that.

Meetingplace express licensing

Hi ,
I want to know that if I deploy meetingplace express for Voice and Video conferencing. is it required for me to buy WEB licencing as well ?
in other way if I both only Voice and Video Licenses , how Can I use audio/video conference ?

Hi,
You shouldn't be buying Meeting Place Express any more.
You should be looking at the MeetingPlace suite.
If you just want audio / video conferencing then you could look at MeetingPlace 8 - probably looking at least 2 servers in this scenario. 1 for MP app server, 1 for web scheduling. Then you have option of using software bridging on the app server (Express Media Server) component, or external hardware bridges.
Cheers,

MeetingPlace Express-Prevent Scheduling

Is it possible in MeetingPlace Express to prevent a profiled user from schduling a meeting? I have 2 groups, System, and one called full meeting room. The first group Is my default group for users when they first create a profile. I want this group not to be able to schedule any voice, video, or web. I just want them to participate. The second group contains the ability to schedule web, video, and voice. I have taked out the video and web, but the system group users can still schedule a meeting with voice. I would like to prevent that.
Thanks.

MCU and Meetingplace Express

Can someone confirm whether or not Meetingplace Express when combined with a MCU (specifically the 3515 MCU-12 5.5) WILL provide multiple video layout (Continuous Presence).
I vaguely recall seeing a simular setup with the stack video layout but there is a post in this forum that explictly states that the combination WILL NOT provide this feature.

MeetingPlace Express 2.0 (scheduled, reservationless, or ah-hoc modes) will combined with a MCU for video conference call. The video will be voice activated switched. The two talking people will see one another. If the three people start arguing at the same time(hehe) it switches all over the place.
MeetingPlace Express VT 2.0 (only supports ad hoc). Same - video switched. For an MCU you can go with the 3515 MCU or other MCU models.
The Continuous Presence means "all" the video participants can see everyone else. You can configure the layout also. (2x2 grid, 3x3 grid, etc.)

MeetingPlace Express without Cisco Unified Communications Manager

Hi Guys,
I need your inputs on using MeetingPlace Express without a PBX.
It's required for Audio, Video and Web conferencing for close to 50 ports.
The video endpoints will be H.323 based Video Devices (with audio capability).
I wanted to check if these devices can be registered directly to a Cisco IO Gatekeeper and have a trunk between MPE and GK. Not sure if this is feasible since there won't be any PBX.
I'll appreciate if someone can guide me for the feasibility of this option. If its feasible I would like to know how and what kind of limitations can be there?
I tried searching on NetPro but failed to find a post depicting this. If this is already asked earlier kindly guide me to the post.
-> Sushil

7.1 is still supported, however 8.X was never tested with MPE as it was already going to be replaced with MP.
Since the BU never tested it, it falls under not supported, MP8 is supported with CUCM 8.
But, since it uses a standard H323 trunk it should work fine.

The call was cancelled by the caller before the remote party answered

Hi,
We have a Lync 2010 Enterprise deployment in a single site with 2 FE and Mediation Server collocated.
When dialling a number from a PSTN phone the call gets routed via our PBX/PBX Gateway/Mediation Server/FE Server to the desktop Lync client successfully.
As soon as the user answers the call with the Lync client the call 'hangs' and terminates without hearing anything on either side.
The snooper logs show:

What kind of gateway are you using to connect to your PBX and how? What is your media set to? G.711 μ-law or a-law? I'd check media settings there as a starting point.

This is an automated message from the MeetingPlace Express system with
hostname [meeting.afgrp.com] to inform you that disk space is low.
Details on where the problem is and how to resolve it are indicated below.
Low space in partition /. Percent used = [90].
The following files might cause trouble. However, inspect each one to make sure.
Look specifically for large files with old timestamps. Also, note that some of
the files indicated might have been previously mentioned. In this case, use the
prior instructions to handle these files rather than the instructions below.
If you are uncertain, contact Cisco TAC for confirmation/advice.
For the files below, use the following procedure to empty these files rather than
   delete them outright.
         1. For each file to be emptied do:
             cat /dev/null > <filename>
         2. After all files that you wish to empty have been emptied, do:
             su   // Enter 'root' password.
             mpx_sys restart

-rw-r-----   1 root     root     127007041 Dec 22 05:30 /var/spool/compaq/cma.log
In general, to free up disk space where it is uncertain exactly what files are in question,
   do the following:
1. In general, go to places like /root, /mpxadmin, /tmp and do "ls -la" to look
     for large files. If a file is large, old, and seems like some kind of log or
     error file, it could be a candidate for deletion.
2. Generally files of type log (*.log), stderr, stdout, or txt (*.txt) are the
     best candidates to look for. A good command to look for these types of
     files with size of 10,000,000 bytes or larger is:
       find / -name "<file type>" -exec ls -la {} ; | awk '{if( >=10000000) {print} }'
     For example, to look for all log files 10,000,000 bytes or larger on
       the entire system:
         find / -name "*.log" -exec ls -la {} ; | awk '{if($5 >= 10000000) {print} }'
3. If you have a specific problem partition that you are trying to reduce size
     for, do the following:
     1. Find out the directory name of the top of the partition from "df".
     2. "cd" to that location.
     3. Then do: du -x -b --max-depth=1
     4. Look for the directories that are really large.
     5. Then "cd" into the worst subdirectory (or subdirectories).
     6. Get a list of all large files from current directory location and lower:
           (This example assumes 10,000,000 bytes and a check for .log files.
               Note the starting location of '.' (current location) rather
               than '/' (entire disk) ).
           find . -name "*.log" -exec ls -la {} ; | awk '{if($5 >= 10000000) {print} }'
Complete output of the 'df' command:

Hi Josh,
It seems that the root partition of the MeetingPlace Express server is almost full. I have attached a document for your reference which can be used to minimize the disk space issues.
Once the steps mentioned in the attached document are completed, run the command "df" to check the disk space.
If you do not see much improvement in the root partition, then in that case some other files might need to be removed from the server to increase the root partition space.
If any of the partitions reach upto 90% or above, then the server might behave unexpectedly.
Feel free to revert if you have face any issues or have any queries.

Rishabh

hi Ernesto,
As the problem you are facing is a dial out issue on MPE, go
through the checklist mentioned below in order to confirm the configuration
is intact.
Here is the checklist :
1.    Ensure that H323 GW is defined on CCM/CUCM.
Device > Gateway > find.
Look for a device name that equals either MPE's hostname, FQDN, or IP
Address.
2.    Ensure that h323 Gateways are configured on MPE.
MPE Administration Center > System Configuration > Call Configuration > H323
Configuration
Ensure that h323 is enabled.
Ensure that you have entered your CCM's IPs in h323 Gateway 1, 2
3.    Ensure that CCM's interface with MPE is up.
Ensure that MPE's IP Address is listed under the "IP Address" column.
Ensure that this IP Address is that of the FIRST NIC on MPE, not the second.
4.    Verify that MPE has the CSS required to call the destination.
FIRST, FIND MPE's CSS:
When MPE places a call, the CSS in question is Device > Gateway > MPE-GW >
Inbound
THEN the relevant config is under Device > "Call Routing Information -
Inbound Calls" > Calling Search Space
SECOND, FIND DESTINATION PATTERN's PARTITION:
If the destination is an IP Phone within the CCM/CUCM Cluster, then the
relevant config is under Device > Phone > click on Directory Number in CCM.
If the destination is a PSTN endpoint/phone, then the relevant config is
under Device > Route Pattern.
5.    Ensure that your user profile is set to allow outdials.
MPE Administration Center > User Configuration > User Profile Management >
Your User Profile > Can call out of meetings should be set to "Yes".
6.    When you place a call from from the CLI, the system applies permissions
from the "Guest" User profile since mpxadmin or root are not Users within
the MPX application. To allow this to work, you need to verify two
settings:
MPE Administration Center > User Configuration > User Profile Management >
Guest > Can call out of meetings should be set to "Yes".
Ensure that the Guest profile is not in a "locked" state.
MPE Administration Center > System Configuration > Usage Configuration >
Allow Guest outdials should be set to "Yes".
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Karthik

MeetingPlace Express Assistance

Hi All,
We have MeetingPlace Express version 2.1.1.2.
We need to configure it to accept any user to make a non-scheduled conference directly, without requesting the user to enter his profile ID and profile password, and without the need to add the data of the users into the MeetingPlace.
We just need it to act as an audio conference bridge, so we need the user to dial the MeetingPlace number, then he can enter a certain password (one password for all our staff) to enable our employees to log into the MeetingPlace, and then get the Meeting ID and Meeting password and start the meeting.

Sherif,
You are going to want to export using all of the headers and leaving them intact in the import file. You will want to follow the steps below for a successful import as the system is really sensitive that the data is formatted a certain way.
Create a test user profile in MPE manually so that you can get the file format of the import file with the headers.
Export User Profiles.
Export this test user profile to a file and include the header information.
This will create a User_Profiles.txt file that you will save and then open up in Excel. (Follow these steps below to ensure that the file is formatted correctly)
1. Within Excel, click on the Open tool on the toolbar. Excel displays the Open dialog box. (To display this dialog box in Excel 2007/2010, click the Office button and then click on Open.)
2. Using the Files of Type drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, indicate that you want to open Text Files (*.prn; *.txt; *.csv).
3. Select the saved export file.
4. Click on Open. Excel starts the Text Import Wizard, displaying the Step 1 of 3 dialog box.
5. Make sure the Delimited choice is selected, then click on Next. Excel displays the Step 2 of 3 dialog box.
6. Select Comma as a delimiter, then click on Next. Excel displays the Step 3 of 3 dialog box.
7. Click on Finish. Your file is imported.
8. Once the file is opened up in Excel, import your users into this spreadsheet so that they conform to the necessary format and the required headers.Next, find the "isLocalUser" field and set the parameter value for al user profiles from "No' to 'Yes'. Then find the EncryptedProfilePWD and EncryptedUserPWD fields. Remove the 'Encrypted' portion of the field name in the header so that they now read ProfilePWD and UserPWD. Make sure the value for the ProfilePWD for these user profiles is a standard alpha password. (cisco) Then make sure the value for the UserPWD for these user profiles is a standard numeric password. (12345). You may just be able to leave them as they are from your import.
9. Save the file with the changes.
10. Go to the Application MPE Web Page and then Maintenance-->Import Data-->Import User Profiles.
11. Select 'Add Profiles To System', select file to import, and set Overwrite field to 'Yes". (You should also set the log information to file option.)
12. Hit 'Execute' to import the user profiles to the system.
13. Once this is completed successfully, then go check the User Profile configuration to ensure that all users are imported correctly into MPE.
If you run into any problems with this procedure, please open an SR with TAC so that we can assist further.
Thank You,
Gerry

MeetingPlace Express strange problem !

Environment:
MeetingPlace Express 1.1.1.11
CallManager 4.1(3)sr2
Voice Gateway 1: 2821 (c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-4.T.bin) + VIC2-4FXO
Voice Gateway 2: 2621XM (c2600-advipservicesk9-mz.123-14.T5.bin) + NM-2V + 2* VIC-2FXO
VG1 connect to CallManager using H.323, VG2 connect to CallManager using MGCP
MeetingPlace Express connect to CallManager using H.323.
Problem:
When dial-in from PSTN to VG1 and VG2, both are well; but when using "Find-Me" feature, MeetingPlace express dial to user, users via VG2 are can sent dtmf with MeetingPlace Express, but users via VG1 can not sent any dtmf digit to MeetingPlace Express. So users via VG1 can not enter the meeting.
