Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Installation Guide

Network 
requirements

For the Windows server to communicate with the MeetingPlace 
Audio Server, the following requirements need to be met:

• In a networked PCI environment, the Windows server must be 

able to open a TCP connection on port 5003 when connecting to 
the primary MeetingPlace Audio Server and port 5005 when 
connecting to each additional MeetingPlace audio server. 

• In a standalone PCI or 8112 environment, the Windows 

server must be able to open a TCP connection on ports 5003 and 
5005

 

when connecting to the primary MeetingPlace Audio 

Server.

• From the point of view of the Windows server, the IP address of 

the MeetingPlace Audio Servers must not be translated using a 
network address translation scheme.

• Connectivity between the Windows server and its host 

MeetingPlace audio server must be high quality and not subject 
to interruptions due to traffic congestion. Any time the round 
trip latency increases past 100ms or there is more than 1% 
packet loss, a noticeable reduction in service quality can be 
expected.
