Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Maintenance Manual

ports are not available for a non-reserved meeting, users perceive a system 
failure. For reservationless systems, it is recommended that the peak traffic 
demand is never allowed to exceed available capacity, implying that the 
average traffic should be kept well within the “efficient zone.”

MeetingPlace provides default values for the usage thresholds based on 
general conferencing use, although these default values should be customized 
to reflect your company’s unique conferencing environment.

Scheduling failures mean that users cannot join meetings or schedule 
meetings. You must check peak level usage and contact your MeetingPlace 
customer support representative for advice.

To change the value of the usage thresholds:

Make sure the usage thresholds are displayed in the chart.

Choose 

 menu > 

.

Enter the desired value.

For help in adjusting the thresholds, contact your MeetingPlace support 
representative.

Efficient Usage (below 
the yellow line)

Under 1,500

System is running efficiently. Capacity is available and 
meetings can extend and grow.

Busy Usage (between 
yellow and red lines)

1,500–2,000

Users can schedule and hold conferences, although 
some scheduling requests may not be satisfied because 
conferencing ports are unavailable. User satisfaction is 
beginning to decline. 

System manager should add more capacity to offset 
scheduling failures.

Constrained Usage (above 
the red line)

Over 2,000

Users are likely to experience several scheduling and 
attendance failures because ports are in high use. 
Overflow traffic is most likely going to service bureaus. 
During peak hours, meetings are not extending and 
growing.

System manager needs to add more capacity.
