Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server Installation Planning Guide
NTP server IP address
It is recommended that you time synchronize your MeetingPlace 
system with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. (For more 
information, see 
)
Broadcast traffic
• If the rate of broadcast or multicast packet generation on the 
LAN segment exceeds an average of 40/second, the Ethernet 
link from MeetingPlace into the local LAN must be 
configured for 100Mb to avoid congestion of the link.
• If broadcast and multicast traffic exceeds 100 packets/second, 
the MeetingPlace system should be isolated from the segment 
using a router.
MeetingTime network 
requirements
• MeetingTime must be able to open a TCP connection on ports 
5001 and 5005 to connect to the network and/or conference 
server.
• For MeetingTime to access recordings and attachments, the IP 
address of the conference server must not be translated using a 
network address translation scheme.
