1 Introduction 

This guide describes how to set up and maintain MeetingPlace after your M3 
system has been installed. (For instructions on installing MeetingPlace, see 
the MeetingServer 5.1 Installation Planning Guide.) 

Throughout the remainder of this document, we refer to Cisco MeetingPlace 
as “MeetingServer,” or “MeetingPlace,” and we refer to Cisco MeetingPlace 
MeetingTime as “MeetingTime.” 

This guide is for MeetingPlace system managers. It gives you practical and 
clear guidelines for managing and maintaining the MeetingPlace system, and 
offers choices and recommendations to help you make the right decisions for 
your company. 

The MeetingServer software in this version includes the following new 
features: 

•

 

MeetingPlace M3 systems now support 

both E1 Euro ISDN and QSIG trunking protocols for deployments in the 
European Union, Asia, and Australia. E1 systems can scale up to 960 
user licenses per M3 system. Mixed IP and PSTN (E1) systems are 
supported for customers migrating to IP telephony, but mixing E1 and 
other PSTN protocols are not supported. Customers who wish to deploy 
a converged IP only solution can scale up to 384 user licenses per M3 
system. Information that’s unique to E1 trunking types is preceded in this 
guide by this icon:

MeetingPlace M3 now supports direct 

connectivity to ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) from the central 
office or from the PBX. PRI-based systems can scale up to 736 user 
licenses. Mixing PRI with existing T1 PSTN telephony protocols is not 
supported within an M3 system, but mixed PRI and IP systems are 
supported.
