Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Installation Guide

The following worksheet describes the MeetingPlace IM Gateway 
requirements.

Before you install MeetingPlace IM Gateway, the following must be up and 
running:

•

MeetingPlace Audio Server 8112 or PCI (MeetingPlace 2001 version 4.3, 
MeetingServer 5.0, MeetingServer 5.0.2, or MeetingServer 5.1) running as 
Customer Premised Equipment (CPE) must be installed and running 
before installing MeetingPlace IM Gateway

•

One or two MeetingPlace Web server(s) running version 4.3.0.100.1, 
installed behind the corporate firewall and/or in a DMZ. Depending on 
expected loads, the MeetingPlace IM Gateway Connector component can 
be installed on a machine with MeetingPlace for Outlook.

•

Sametime Server (if Sametime clients will be used).

•

Instant Messaging client on end-user machines: Sametime 3.0; Yahoo! 
Messenger (all versions); AOL (all versions); and/or MSN (all versions).

Existing deployment

• If IM Director is not currently deployed, use the 

requirements (including an SQL Server database) for 

FaceTime IM Director, listed in the FaceTime IM Director

1.1 Planning and Implementation Guide on the MeetingPlace 
FaceTime Connector CD. Requirements for the Sametime 
Connector component are also in this guide. For both 
components, use only the minimum (required) system 
requirements listed, not the recommended ones.

• If you purchased IM Director 1.1 separately from 

MeetingPlace IM Gateway, the system requirements for the 
FaceTime component of MeetingPlace IM Gateway are met if 
IM Director 1.1 is installed and running.

• If IM Directory 1.0 is currently deployed, purchase IM 

Director 1.1 from the same place you purchased IM Director 
1.0, and then perform the upgrade. After upgrading, system 
requirements for the FaceTime component of MeetingPlace 
IM Gateway are met.

For information about separate purchase or upgrade of 

FaceTime software, contact FaceTime Communications.
