In addition to the user ID, MeetingPlace profiles also have a unique profile 
number
. The profile number—3 to 17 digits—is used to identify users over 
the telephone. Typically, the profile number is the same as a user’s telephone 
number, extension, or voice mailbox. Profile numbers have corresponding 
numeric passwords that are independent of the alphanumeric passwords 
associated with the user ID for LAN or WAN access. 
 
WARNING: Do not set the user ID and profile numbers to the 
same value. Using numeric-only user IDs makes reports difficult 
to read. Moreover, because MeetingTime consistently refers to 
conference participants by user ID, managing conferences from 
within MeetingTime becomes difficult when you assign 
numeric-only user IDs. 
 
Note: When the Reservationless Meetings feature is turned on, 
profile numbers cannot match existing meeting IDs, since 
reservationless meetings use profile numbers as reservationless 
meeting IDs. If you attempt to create a profile number that 
matches an existing meeting ID, the system will notify you of 
the conflict. To resolve the conflict, you must either change the 
meeting ID or select another profile number for the user. 
User-Specific Address Information 
MeetingPlace maintains directory information for use with advanced 
features, such as automated outdialing (automatically dialing a participant at 
the time of the meeting) and paging. For each user, MeetingPlace tracks the: 
 
Phone number to use for system outdials 
 
Pager type and phone number for start-of-meeting notification 
 
E-mail address to use for notifications 
 
Internet e-mail address used by MeetingPlace Web 
For telephone and pager numbers, MeetingPlace uses its internal translation 
tables to map telephone numbers stored in MeetingPlace profiles to actual 
dialing strings. If your MeetingPlace translation tables are set up correctly, 
you should not need to put in extra digits required for dialing strings (such as 
a 9 to dial out from your PBX) in the profile entries. 
To make the best use of MeetingPlace capabilities, you should enter all the 
address information that applies to your particular system. This information 
may be available if you are importing profiles from a company directory or 
other source.  
 
Note: The MeetingPlace translation tables are not configurable 
by customers. Please contact your MeetingPlace support 
representative to ensure that your translation tables are set up 
correctly for your particular telephony configuration.
