Review System Requirements

Before preparing to install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Click-to-Conference with IBM Lotus Sametime Instant Messaging, review the system requirements by reading System Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlaceRelease 8.0 at: http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Release_8.0_--_System_Requirements_for_Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Release_8.0.

Configuring the Update Site to Host Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Click-to-Conference with IBM Lotus Sametime Instant Messaging on your IBM Lotus Domino Server

All IBM Lotus Sametime plug-ins for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace must be hosted on a web server, called an Update Site, so that the end user can download it.

Procedure

1. Enable the http service on your IBM Lotus Domino Server.
2. Create a directory for the plugin in the C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Domino\data\domino\html directory.

   For example, if you create a directory called "plugins" and place your Update Site in that directory, you can browse to the Update Site by entering http://your-domino-server/plugins/site.xml.

3. Download the .tar.gz file containing the plug-in to the directory that you created in Step 2.
   1. To find the .tar.gz file, sign into the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Administration Center.
   2. Choose System Configuration > SameTime Configuration > Download Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Click-to-Conference with IBM Lotus Sametime.
4. Extract the contents of the .tar.gz file to a temporary directory.
5. Move the contents of the temporary directory to the directory that you created in Step 2.
6. Note the full http path to the site.xml file, for example, http://your-domino-server/plugins/site.xml. This path is used during installation of the plug-in.
