MeetingPlace Outlook 
Gateway

schedule and attend MeetingPlace meetings using their Outlook client and 
receive e-mail notifications for meetings they are invited to. Users can 
accept notifications (and have meetings appear in their Outlook calendar), 
or decline notifications.

and attend MeetingPlace meetings using their Notes client and receive

MeetingPlace Directory 
Services Gateway

and MeetingPlace. This integration automatically creates, updates, and 
deletes user profiles, which eases system management and enhances 
MeetingPlace security features.
MeetingPlace IP Gateway

H.323, and RAS standard protocols to process call activity. The 
MeetingPlace IP Gateway is used with MeetingPlace IP server hardware 
and software, to provide users meeting access from IP phones using Cisco 
CallManager and Cisco SIP Proxy, Avaya, Alcatel A5020 IP Softswitch, 
and H.323 endpoints. 
MeetingPlace for IP Phone

MeetingPlace Web (for 
web conferencing)
Windows-based server software used for scheduling conferences, sharing 
meeting materials, and listening to recorded meetings and voice comments 
from Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer web browsers. 
MeetingPlace Web allows multiple users to share applications in real time, 
brainstorm using white board annotation, or make presentations using 
their desktop or laptop computer, with additional features like annotations, 
polling, chat, and synchronized voice and web recordings. Optional data 
conferencing licenses must be purchased to use these capabilities.
