DID/DDI Numbers Are Not Available 
If users are not able to use a DID/DDI number, or if there are no meeting ID 
numbers available, it means either that all DID/DDI numbers are being used 
or that there is a scheduling conflict with that number. 
Select Telephony Access (Configure tab) to assign different port access types 
to blocks of telephone numbers and reserve the numbers in each block for 
certain uses. If MeetingPlace is to receive dialed number information, you 
decide how many numbers to reserve for each use. 
 
Tip: Add more DID/DDI numbers to your system. If your 
system does not use DID/DDI numbers, you can increase the 
number of IDs available using the Minimum Mtg ID Length 
field (Configure tab, Scheduling parameters). 
Ports are Not Disconnecting from Meetings 
Normally, when a meeting participant hangs up the phone, disconnect signals 
are passed through the network and recognized by the MeetingPlace system. 
MeetingPlace then removes the corresponding port from the meeting and 
plays a prompt to remaining meeting participants to notify them of the 
departing party. 
If disconnect supervision is not conveyed through the network, noise or 
tones may interfere with the meeting when the far-end party hangs up. If this 
occurs, contact your MeetingPlace support representative for assistance. In 
most cases, the PBX or telephone service provider must be involved to 
isolate the trunk that is not conveying disconnect signals. 
Handling Alarms 
As the system manager, it is essential that you be able to detect system 
hardware and software malfunctions, unauthorized access, toll fraud, or 
other error conditions in the system. 
The MeetingPlace system uses three methods to notify you when a problem 
occurs: 
 
The Alarm Table in the MeetingTime System tab reports abnormal 
events that occur in the MeetingPlace system. 
 
The Alarm indicator lights on the front of the MeetingPlace chassis are 
red when a problem has occurred (see the section on Interpreting the 
Alarm Lights on the Server later in this chapter). 
 
MeetingPlace can be configured to call you when an alarm occurs. You 
can configure this feature from the Configure tab in the Usage 
Parameters window.
