Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Maintenance Manual

Reservationless meetings allow profile users to create impromptu, “on-the-
fly,” voice conferencing meetings. Meetings are started through any touch-
tone phone with the user’s assigned meeting ID. Reservationless meetings are 
convenient because they do not require any advanced scheduling of resources.

When used with MeetingPlace Web versions earlier than 3.0, web 
conferencing can be enabled after the voice conference has been activated. 
When used with version 3.0 or later, reservationless meetings can be started 
either from the Web or the phone. For more information on reservationless 
meetings, see

It is the system manager’s responsibility to ensure that no regular meetings 
are scheduled before scheduling a Reserve All Ports meeting.

•

Because Reserve All Ports meetings prevent the system from scheduling 
any meetings, it is strongly recommended that Reserve All Ports meetings 
are scheduled during lowest usage times.

Reserve All Ports meetings allow system managers to perform system 
upgrades. When you schedule a Reserve All Ports meeting, MeetingPlace 
Audio Server performs the following actions:

•

Reserves all available ports, or the maximum number of user licenses 
available in the 8112 system

•

Blocks out all new callers for the duration of the scheduled meeting

•

Prohibits the extension of in-session meetings that began before the 
Reserve All Ports meeting begins

Reserve All Ports meetings are scheduled, private meetings. The meeting 
attributes are the same as for scheduled meetings, with the following 
exceptions:
