Reservationless: Users can hold meetings using a personal meeting ID without the
need for advance scheduling. Reservationless meetings can be initiated from Microsoft
Outlook, a touchtone phone, the Web, or Phone View.
Impromptu Web conferencing: From Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, users can
launch a simple screen-sharing interface on demand.
●
E-mail invitations: Meetings set up from the Web interface or Microsoft Outlook can
generate Microsoft Outlook calendar invitations that include the ability to easily populate a
user’s calendar with the meeting information, which is highly customizable by the system
administrator. Using standard SMTP e-mail, invitations can be sent to meeting invitees in
either HTML or text format.
●
Flexible attendance options: Users have numerous options available when attending
meetings:
Dial in: Users have a couple of options to dial into a meeting:
- Dial into Cisco Unity Connection (2.0 or later) and use speech (that is, say “Join
meeting”) to access an active meeting associated with the user
- Dial directly into the voice and video meeting using the dial-in number, and when using
a recognized phone, the user is automatically logged into the system and directed to her
meeting
Click-to-attend link: Users can click a URL in Outlook and in e-mail invitations that
takes them to a Webpage providing an option to attend the voice, Web, and video
meetings simultaneously.
Join from the Web: Users can go to the system Website and either find the meeting or
specify the meeting ID to reach a Webpage providing options to dial out to a specified
phone or video endpoint and join the Web meeting.
Dial out from Phone View: Users with supported Cisco Unified IP phones can find the
meeting or specify the meeting ID to have the system call their IP phone.
Find me: Users can specify a series of phone numbers with which they are associated
by user profile, and the system calls these numbers when a meeting starts.
Administration
System administrators have a rich tool set in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express:
●
Web administration center: A Web interface provides system administration capabilities
for user management, system configuration, maintenance, reporting, monitoring, and
interface configuration.
●
User provisioning: User profile creation can be handled in the following ways:
Automated profile creation: Directory integration (for example, with Cisco Unified
Communications Manager) automates profile creation by establishing an account on
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express the first time a user successfully authenticates
using credentials accepted by the integrated directory.
Profile import: User profiles can be batch imported into the system.
Manual profile creation: Using the Web administration interface, profiles can be
manually added to the system.
●
Group management: Groups can be created and associated with user profiles to facilitate
administration of similar user types.
