Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Installation Guide

MeetingPlace Network 
Backup Gateway 5.2

The MeetingPlace Network Backup Gateway 5.2 provides you with a 
secure method of transferring up to three rotating backup copies of the 
Audio Server database to a Windows server with an incremental 4 GB 
of disk storage. (For more information, see the MeetingPlace Network 
Backup Gateway System Manager’s Guide.)

Secure system access through 
Secure Shell (SSH) protocol

Secure remote access to the MeetingPlace 8112 or 8106 server is now 
available through the use of SSH. SSH provides an encrypted terminal 
session with strong authentication of both the server and client, using 
public-key cryptography. This tool is especially important if, because 
of security concerns, you do not allow telnet sessions for support 
access.

Ability to play participant 
names during meetings 
through MeetingTime

Meeting moderators can now play back participants’ recorded names 
through the MeetingTime In Session tab. This feature is useful for 
confirming guest participants and creating participant lists. (For more 
information, see Chapter 7 of the Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server 5.2 
System Manager’s Guide.)

Server patch automation

This tool uses a single command on the server to perform all operations 
that are currently performed manually when applying a software patch. 
This reduces the potential for operator error and simplifies the patch 
process.

Disable SNMP queries

This feature disables external queries through SNMP while allowing 
alarms and traps to be sent out. 

Additional language voice 
prompts

For international deployments, German, Portuguese, and Spanish voice 
prompts are now available with the MeetingPlace 5.2 release. 
MeetingPlace can support up to four additional languages besides U.S. 
English, and users’ language preference can be defined through their 
profile. The available languages are English (U.S.), English (U.K.), 
French (France), French (Canadian), Japanese, German, Portuguese 
(Brazil), and Spanish (Americas).

Changes to music

The music that MeetingPlace plays has been changed in the following 
areas:

• While the first meeting attendee waits for other attendees to join (the 

music that had been played in the reservationless meeting waiting 
room is now played in this situation)

• In the reservationless meeting waiting room
