Scheduling Parameters 
Meeting scheduling parameters control the meetings scheduled at your 
location. The settings determine how many of the conference ports on your 
system can be reserved for meetings at one time. 
About Meeting Guard Times 
The Scheduling Parameters window includes Meeting Guard Times, which 
ensure that meetings do not overlap each other and that two meetings are not 
scheduled back-to-back with the same meeting ID number. Guard times may 
also be a factor in determining how early someone can call into a meeting 
before its scheduled start time, how long a meeting can be extended, and 
when ports should be released. Back-to-back reservationless meetings are 
permitted regardless of guard times. In effect, the guard time for 
reservationless meetings is equal to zero. The MeetingServer System 
Manager’s Guide
 describes guard times in more detail. 
Company Information 
Company information records data that describes your organization, such as 
your company name, address, and the names and telephone numbers for 
people who will be the primary contacts for MeetingPlace service 
representatives, as well as whom you should call when you need help with 
MeetingPlace. 
Flex Fields 
Flex fields allow system managers and technicians to design specific fields 
for meetings that can be customized to your business needs. They enable you 
to track company or site-specific information on a per-profile or per-meeting 
basis. Flex fields record information to specify the type of field, the title 
associated with the field, the import title used for reporting, the protection 
level of the field, whether users must choose fields values from a list of 
possible entries (which you create), and whether a flex field requires a value. 
System Configuration Information 
System configuration information controls how MeetingPlace operates at 
your company. You provide two types of configuration information: 
information describing the telephony configuration, and information 
describing the LAN to which MeetingPlace is connected.  
Telephony Configuration Information 
Telephony configuration information includes port access information that 
determines which MeetingPlace services are available to a caller.
