Cisco WebEx Integration

Table: Requirements for the Cisco WebEx integration with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.1

Component Requirement

Hardware

  • For Integration Option 1 (schedule and attend Cisco WebEx meetings from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace) only:
    • Cisco Unified MeetingPlace requires that your system contain at least one internal Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server (or cluster). The system can optionally also contain an external Web Server(or cluster).
    • Part of the Cisco WebEx gateway software is installed on the Web Server.
  • Cisco Unified MeetingPlace URLs are published in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace notifications that provide automatic redirect to the Cisco WebEx MeetingCenter upon joining, for both internal users and external guest users via the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Servers deployed.
  • A Cisco MCS-7835 can be used for web scheduling and up to 250 concurrent web redirect sessions.
  • A Cisco MCS-7845 can be used for up to 500 concurrent web redirect per Web Server with a maximum of 100 meetings.
  • No Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web user licenses are required or used with Cisco WebEx.

Software

  • Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.1 requires Cisco WebEx Release WBS 27 on the Cisco WebEx site.
  • Cisco Unified MeetingPlace requires Cisco WebEx MeetingCenter or Cisco WebEx MeetingCenter Pro.


Limitations and Restrictions

  • MeetingPlace Application Server WebEx TSP only support SOCKS web proxy servers (not HTTP proxy). Allow direct firewall access to WebEx Site IPs directly. Often there are delay issues when proxy servers are used. The system must be able to continuously maintain its links to the WebEx integration, otherwise user response times may be affected.
  • A Cisco WebEx integration can have a maximum of 1000 user ports per system.
  • The Cisco WebEx integration on the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server does not support redundancy and failover deployments.
  • The Media Servers may be redundant (which provides active DSP redundancy).
  • Cisco WebEx is only supported for use with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web conferencing and the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Microsoft Outlook integration. It cannot be used with the IBM Lotus Notes for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace integration.
  • Cisco WebEx does not support Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Microsoft Office Communicator.
  • Cisco WebEx does not support Cisco Unified MeetingPlace RSNA.
  • Cisco Unified MeetingPlace unique profile numbers must be eight digits or less. The profile number is typically the telephone number of an end user and usually does not include the country code or area code.
  • If scheduling from the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web user portal, the meeting scheduler can choose to define certain users as "alternate hosts". Alternate hosts can start the meeting if the meeting scheduler does not arrive on time.
    • If you schedule your meeting from an alternate scheduling interface, such as the Microsoft Outlook integration, you can still define certain users as alternate hosts from the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web user portal.
    • Users must have their e-mail address, first name, and last name set in their user profiles in order to be listed as alternate hosts.
    • If any user who is defined as an alternate host does not have this information listed, the system marks the meeting invalid and locks it. This prevents any user from attending the meeting, including the meeting scheduler, even if all other alternate hosts and the meeting host have an e-mail address, first name, and last name set in their user profiles.
    • If a user defined as an alternate host does not have their e-mail address, first name, and last name set in their user profile, the system will set the accounts of all other users who are attempting to attend the same meeting to inactive on Cisco WebEx and remove their ability to attend any meetings. This includes users who have their e-mail address, first name, and last name set in their user profiles.
    • If you invite an alternate host whose Cisco WebEx user account is inactive, the system will "hang" and the alternate host will see a blank window.

Note: We highly recommend that you populate the user profile for anyone who will ever be invited to a Cisco WebEx meeting with an e-mail address, first name, and last name.


Types of Cisco WebEx Service Contracts

Minutes

With this model, Cisco WebEx charges the customer for web-meeting minutes consumed by attendees.


Concurrent Ports

With this model, the customer purchases a certain number of Cisco WebEx ports. A port corresponds to a web-meeting attendee. The number of attendees that can join meetings system-wide is limited to the number of ports purchased; hence the term "concurrent ports".


Named Host

With this model, only someone who is explicitly named as a host can schedule a meeting.


The Named Host license requires a Cisco WebEx user account for each profiled user of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace. If there are more Cisco Unified MeetingPlace users than Cisco WebEx users, some users will be able to schedule but not actually join the meeting.
