Started—A
MeetingPlace
Overview
This
chapter provides you with an overview of how MeetingPlace
works
and integrates with your organization’s network. This
chapter
also provides information about MeetingTime,

MeetingPlace
Concepts
MeetingPlace
uses your organization’s existing IP-based
and/or
telephony infrastructure to provide voice and data
conferencing
using Cisco IP and standard PSTN phones.
MeetingPlace
can also integrate with your organization’s
standard
e-business applications, such as e-mail, fax, and wireless
hand-held
devices. To facilitate integration with these resources,
system
options are installed on a Windows-based server that
communicates
with MeetingPlace over your network.
Figure
2-1 displays how the entire MeetingPlace family
integrates
with your organization’s network.
