International Deployments
MeetingPlace M3 systems now support
both E1 Euro ISDN and QSIG trunking protocols for deployments in the
European Union, Asia, and Australia. E1 systems can scale up to 960
user licenses per M3 system. Mixed IP and PSTN (E1) systems are
supported for customers migrating to IP telephony, but mixing E1 and
other PSTN protocols are not supported. Customers who wish to deploy
a converged IP only solution can scale up to 384 user licenses per M3
system. Information that’s unique to E1 trunking types is preceded in this
guide by this icon:

Ability to Track Number of Meeting Extensions
Two fields have
been added to the Raw Meeting Details report. The first field
provides information on the number of successful extensions to each
meeting. When a meeting cannot be extended, the second field
provides an error code for the reason. Reasons include lack of voice
ports, lack of recording space, Meeting ID conflict, and so on.
System managers can use this information to assess customer
satisfaction in a highly utilized system. For more information, see
the Raw Meeting Details Information Data section in Appendix G. of
the Cisco MeetingServer System Manager’s Guide.

Peak Usage and Summary Port Utilization Reports—This new
report in the Capacity Management tab in MeetingTime provides
insight to both peak and average port utilization over a user specified
period of time. The report can be run in real time or offline with
previously generated data. This tool is especially important for
reservationless deployments to ensure adequate capacity to support
peak load traffic at all times. For more information, see the
Managing Capacity section in Chapter 4 of the Cisco MeetingServer
System Manager’s Guide.
