Mtg start guard time (min)

Number of minutes before scheduled meeting start time that ports are reserved for meeting. (For example, if value is 5 and meeting is scheduled from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, ports are reserved from 7:55 AM to 9:00 AM, allowing early arrivals.)

Recommended: 0 (because most users schedule extra time). This parameter does not apply to reservationless meetings.

0

Numeric- 0 to 1440*

Mtg end guard time (min)

Number of minutes after scheduled meeting that ports remain reserved. (For example, if value is 5 and meeting is scheduled from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, ports are reserved from 8:00 AM to 9:05 AM, allowing for overrun.)

Recommended: 0 , to ensure consecutive meetings can be scheduled. This parameter does not apply to reservationless meetings.

If users try joining meeting before this time, they hear: "This is not a recognized meeting ID number." After this time, callers hear: "The meeting has not started."

Recommended: 30 . This parameter does not apply to reservationless meetings.

To ensure DID/DNIS meeting numbers are available for reuse, compare the number of simultaneous conferences to be held on your system with the number of DID/DNIS meeting numbers available. If they are about the same, decrease this value.
