Description

Enter information to help you and other system administrators understand the translation rule.

Example: Converts a 7-digit number to a 5-digit extension.

Digits to match

Number of digits that must be in the incoming ANI (1) in order for this rule to be applied.

Example: Suppose this field is set to 5:

• If the ANI is 50123, the system applies this rule.
• If the ANI is 0123 or 5550123, the system does not apply this rule.

Recommendation: The ANI can vary depending on whether calls are received from internal, external, long distance, or international sources. Use a large enough value to preserve uniqueness for ANI matches. We recommend a value of 4 or 5.

Restriction: You cannot modify the preconfigured translation rule, in which this field is set to 0. The system uses the preconfigured translation rule to find a user profile phone number that matches the incoming ANI exactly without adding or deleting any digits.

Match string

Apply this rule if this string matches the beginning of the ANI digits.

This string is removed from the ANI.

Example: If this field is set to 555, and the ANI is 5550123, remove the 555 to make the modified ANI equal to 0123.

Replace by

Insert these digits at the beginning of the ANI.

Example: If this field is set to 5 and the ANI is 0123, the ANI becomes 50123.

Name

Name by which you want to identify the user group.

Recommendation: Use a name that describes the users in the group, such as "Marketing."

The value of this field in the guest profile is applied to guest users.

Default: Group default (English (US))

Billing code

Billing code that is applied to meetings scheduled by the user. Meeting schedulers can modify the billing code for each meeting. Billing reports are sorted by billing code and then by User ID.

Note: If an Attendant or System administrator schedules a meeting on behalf of another user, the meeting uses the billing code of the meeting scheduler, but the system counts the minutes against the meeting owner (on whose behalf the meeting was scheduled).

Recommendations:

• Follow existing conventions at your company, such as department codes.
• (Guest profile only) Leave this field blank, because this field is inherited by all new user profiles.

Default: Group default (None)

Default: Group default (240)

Scheduling restriction (meetings to start within 6 hours of scheduling)

Scheduling restrictions for this user:

• Unrestricted-User can schedule an unlimited number of meetings.
• Cannot schedule-User cannot schedule meetings, regardless of start time.
• Numeric value-Maximum number of meetings that the user can schedule to begin within six hours after the time of scheduling.

Each time the user attempts to schedule a meeting, the system counts the number of meetings owned by the user that are scheduled to begin within the next six hours. If this number is greater than the field value, the user cannot schedule any more meetings to begin within the next six hours. Note that the user can still schedule an unlimited number of meetings to begin more than six hours after the time of scheduling.

• Name recording option

Restriction: Participants who automatically join a meeting through the Auto Attend Feature will hear the meeting ID confirmation, even if the Meeting entry mode for the meeting is configured to skip the meeting ID.

Recommendation: For Cisco WebEx integration, select Skip ID repeat and skip names. Otherwise, users will be required to record a name each time they use a dial-out call from the Cisco WebEx site to join meetings scheduled by this user. This is because Cisco WebEx dial-out calls are not associated with individual Cisco Unified MeetingPlace user profiles, even when users are properly signed in over the web.

Default: Group default (Skip ID repeat)

Who may skip password

Specifies who can join a meeting scheduled by this user without entering a meeting password.

Default: Group default (Nobody)

Whether email notifications are sent when the following parameters change for meetings scheduled by the user through Cisco Unified MeetingPlace:

• Date or time
• Password
• Meeting ID
• List of invitees

Recommendations: Use a consistent setting across your user base. Also, avoid changing this setting once Cisco Unified MeetingPlace is in use because users might expect and rely on the current email notification behavior.

Default: Group default (Yes)

Include invitee list when scheduled from web

Whether to include a list of invitees in email notifications for meetings that the user schedules from the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web user portal.

Note that a list of meeting invitees is not included in email notifications for meetings that are scheduled from IBM Lotus Notes or the Microsoft Outlook calendar. Users can view the list of invitees through the Microsoft Outlook Scheduling tab.

Default: Group default (Yes)

Include meeting password

Whether the meeting password (if any) is included in email notifications for meetings scheduled by the user.

End user

• Can schedule and control meetings, attend meetings to which they have been invited, attend any publicly listed meeting, and modify preferences in their own user profiles.
• Cannot access the Administration Center or MeetingPlace Conference Manager.

Delegate

• Can view, reschedule, end, or delete meetings on behalf of users whose user profiles specify that delegate in the User ID of delegate field.
• Can change the permissions of invitees for meetings owned by users whose user profiles specify that delegate in the User ID of delegate field.
• Cannot schedule meetings on behalf of other users, even those whose user profiles specify that delegate in the User ID of delegate field.
• Cannot access the Administration Center or MeetingPlace Conference Manager.

Note: (Microsoft Outlook front-end integration) Specifying the User ID of delegate in a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace user profile does not automatically enable Microsoft Outlook delegation. You need to separately add assign delegates from the Microsoft Outlook client. For details see Prerequisites for Scheduling From Microsoft Outlook in the Enabling Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Scheduling from Microsoft Outlook.

Attendant

• Can view, schedule, reschedule, end, and delete meetings on behalf of all users.
• Has limited access to the Administration Center, depending on the configured Attendant Privileges on the Usage Configuration Page.
• Can download and use MeetingPlace Conference Manager, though capabilities are affected by the Attendant Privileges on the Usage Configuration Page.

System administrator

• Can join any meeting, even if the maximum number of ports per meeting are in use, as long as floater ports are available. Can join password-protected meetings without the meeting password, even if uninvited.
• Can view, schedule, reschedule, end, and delete meetings on behalf of all users.
• Has full access to the Administration Center.
• Can download and use MeetingPlace Conference Manager.

Restriction: The preconfigured admin profile provides access only to the Administration Center on the Application Server. It does not provide access to the Web Administration on the Web Server.

Video terminal name

Name used in meeting participant lists and reports. For example, enter the name or location of the conference room that contains the video terminal.

Recommendation: Consider adding text that reflects the Method of attending field value, so that meeting schedulers can perform these actions:

• If multiple video terminals are required for a meeting, the meeting scheduler might want to invite video terminals that have the same Method of attending.
• If the Method of attending is set to Have terminal call in, the meeting scheduler might want to invite only video terminals and no users. Any users who are invited will also be dialed out when a meeting participant (with dial-out privileges) enters #33 in the TUI.

Restriction: At most, only the first 60 characters of the Video terminal name will appear on the scheduling page. Depending on the specific web browser and window size, even a smaller number of characters might appear. Therefore, make sure that you use concise video terminal names.

Endpoint E.164 number

Phone number (1) for the system to dial out to the video endpoint.

Restriction: Only these characters are allowed: (),-. and 0-9.

Group name

Name of user group to which this VTP (2) belongs.

Default: System

Email address

Where to send email notifications when this video terminal is invited to a meeting. Typically, you configure this field with the address of help desk staff or whoever is in charge of reserving the video terminal and conference room.

(Microsoft Outlook integration only) See Requirements for Inviting Video Terminal Profiles from Microsoft Outlook in the Configuring Endpoints for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace module.

For format requirements, see the Email address user profile field.

Region

See the Region user profile field.

Default: Other

Time zone

See the Time zone user profile field.

Default: Group default (Local time of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace server)

Skip meeting entry voice prompts for dial-out calls

Whether this video terminal joins meetings directly without hearing voice prompts to record a name or enter a password.

Restriction: This field applies only when the Method of attending field is set to Dial out to terminal at meeting start.

Recommendation: Select Yes if any of these statements are true:

• You want to configure the VTP for Direct-to-Meeting Mode for Invited Terminals.
• The video terminal is incapable of using the TUI.
• Your users are not proficient with this video terminal.

Default: Yes

Method of attending

The method by which this video terminal joins meetings:

• (Recommended) Dial out to terminal at meeting start-System dials out to the video terminal at meeting start. Use this setting for Direct-to-Meeting Mode for Invited Terminals.
• Have terminal call in-Video terminal can join meetings in any of the these ways:
  • (Recommended) Meeting owner dials out to all missing invitees by entering #33 in the TUI. Only meeting participants with dial-out privileges can perform this task. This is the Alternative to Direct-to-Meeting Mode for Invited Terminals.
  • User calls into the meeting from this video terminal.
  • Meeting participant dials out to the phone number (Endpoint E.164 number) of the video terminal. This can be performed from the web meeting room or by entering #31 in the TUI. Only meeting participants with dial-out privileges can perform this task.

Restriction: Some video terminals might not successfully negotiate video unless one of the recommended options are used.

Default: Have user call in

Video terminal codec

This option is available only when the Type of media server is set to Hardware Media Server.

Which codec to use when the video terminal dials directly in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, or when the system dials directly out to the video terminal:

• H.261
• H.263
• H.264
• Use default (H.264)

Restrictions:

• The selected codec is not applied to calls that are transferred to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace from another phone. For transferred calls, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace uses the Video terminal codec in the VTP associated with the originally connected phone or terminal, not the terminal that is transferred.
• H.261 is available only when a meeting is using the High Rate video type. If a meeting is using the Standard Rate video type and a video with Video terminal codec is set to H.261, this video terminal uses H.263 instead.

Default: H.264

Can receive notifications

Whether to send email notifications to the Email address in this VTP.

Recommendations: Avoid changing this setting once Cisco Unified MeetingPlace is in use, because users might expect and rely on the current email notification behavior.

Default: Group default (Yes)

Receive attachments

Whether to include attachments in email notifications sent to the Email address in this VTP.

Default: Group default (No)

Video format name

Name of this video format. This name appears on the user configuration pages and must be unique.

For details about these video formats and the user experience, see the Planning Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace.

Video mode

Select a video mode from the list.

When the Type of media server is set to Express Media Server, these preconfigured video modes are available:

• H.263
• Mobile
• Compatibility
• High Quality
• HD

When the Type of media server is set to Hardware Media Server, these preconfigured video modes are available:

• Standard Rate
• High Rate

Restrictions:

• When the Type of media server is set to Express Media Server, use this page to add a new video type. You can modify only the video types that you add to the system. You cannot modify the preconfigured ones.
• When the Type of media server is set to Hardware Media Server, you cannot modify preconfigured video types or create new video types.

Default:

• Compatibility (when the Type of media server is set to Express Media Server)
• Standard Rate (when the Type of media server is set to Hardware Media Server)

Minimum bit rate (kbps)

The minimum video bit rate that will be assigned to meetings using the selected format. The minimum rate is determined by the Video mode selected.

This is used to prevent endpoints from establishing a video session with a low bit rate that could degrade the quality of the meeting. If the video endpoint cannot meet the minimum bit rate, the system treats it as an audio-only endpoint.

Default: depends on the Video mode selected

Maximum bit rate (kbps)

The maximum bit rate at which a video caller can connect to the system. The maximum rate is determined by the Video mode selected.

If you allocate more bandwidth, the user requires more SRUs.

Meeting participants cannot join at a rate higher than the value of this field. If a participant joins at a rate lower than the value of the maximum bit rate, the system retains the additional SRUs allowing additional participants to join the meeting.

Only signaled rates are taken into account. Flow-controlled bit rates are not taken into account. For example, if a meeting was scheduled with a maximum bit rate of 768 kbps, and a caller joins at that rate and the system later sets the flow to a lower rate, the unused capacity is not returned to the system.

Restriction: The maximum bandwidth of video calls can also be limited by the following settings, the lowest of which is enforced:

• Video Call Bandwidth region parameter in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. See Configuring the Maximum Video Call Bandwidth in Cisco Unified Communications Manager in the Integrating Cisco Unified MeetingPlace with Cisco Unified Communications Manager module.
• Bandwidth capabilities and configurations of the video endpoints.

Default: depends on the Video mode selected
