Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Maintenance Manual

The following illustration shows the location of LEDs on the MeetingPlace 
8106 server.

Excellent sound quality is essential to MeetingPlace conferences. Improving 
the sound quality depends on understanding and adjusting for several “real-
world” factors:

•

Network trunk operating conditions (audio levels, background noise, echo, 
and so on) are inconsistent throughout the world

•

Audio levels differ among speakers in a conference

•

Large meetings often have rapidly changing speakers

•

Room conditions vary (offices, conference rooms, auditoriums, and so on)

MeetingPlace considers all these factors, and its Digital Signal Processing 
algorithms provide the best overall sound quality for a wide range of 
operating conditions.

Some MeetingPlace installations have resolved sound problems caused by 
various conditions, ranging from trunk type configurations to the acoustics in 
conference rooms. The problems and their resolution are discussed in the 
following table.

Line termination types

MeetingPlace can work with several trunk types and configurations, but 
minimizing the equipment between the network and the system is ideal.
