You cannot extend a scheduled Reserve All Ports meeting, but you can 
reschedule the meeting.
Only one Reserve All Ports meeting can be scheduled at a time (one 
Reserve All Ports meeting must be finished or deleted before another can 
be scheduled).
If a Reserve All Ports meeting overlaps another scheduled meeting that is 
then canceled, the Reserve All Ports meeting reserves the ports released by 
the other meeting.
Scheduled Reserve All Ports meetings appear in the server exception log, 
and any changes to a meeting (such as deleting or rescheduling) are shown 
in the log.
If callers dial into the MeetingPlace server while a Reserve All Ports 
meeting is in session (and all ports are reserved), they experience a busy 
signal.
If system managers or technicians log on to MeetingTime or returns to the 
white board from a meeting when a RAP meeting is in effect, they see a 
message alerting them to the meeting.
The meeting ID for a Reserve All Ports meeting cannot be changed.
Scheduling conferences
MeetingPlace users can choose to set up conferences immediately and dial out 
to parties, or they can schedule “meet me” conferences in advance. 
MeetingPlace conferences can be scheduled from a touch-tone or 
IP telephone or a computer using MeetingTime client software, Microsoft 
Outlook, Lotus Notes, or a Web browser. (Scheduling through an IP telephone 
or a computer requires MeetingPlace IP Gateway, MeetingPlace for IP Phone 
Gateway, MeetingTime, MeetingPlace Outlook Gateway, MeetingPlace Notes 
Gateway, or MeetingPlace Web.)
When MeetingPlace users schedule their conferences in advance, the system 
reserves the necessary resources and guarantees availability at the time of the 
meeting. However, port resources are not guaranteed if overbooking is 
employed.
