Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Maintenance Manual

While MeetingPlace is completely functional as installed, you can customize 
the system to suit your special uses and applications. The following sections 
tell you how to:

•

Customize meeting notifications

•

Create flex fields

•

Choose abbreviated or unabbreviated voice prompts

•

Customize the voice prompts that users hear

To assist users receiving notifications by e-mail, you can customize your 
company’s e-mail messages with information on how to attend meetings on 
MeetingPlace.

Define system-wide 
restrictions

The next level of security consists of the system outdialing translation tables. 
The translation tables define which phone numbers the MeetingPlace system 
can call. You can configure the system with up to 16 different tables to provide 
unique capabilities for different user communities on the system. You can also 
define tables through a PBX.

• Be specific about who can and cannot outdial. In the Port Groups and Ports 

topics in the Configure tab, you can set which ports can handle outgoing 
calls. You can also set users’ outdial privileges in their individual user 
profiles, or restrict the number of outdials users can make during a meeting.

• Define an internal dialing table to restrict specific long distance calls. Your 

MeetingPlace support representative can assist you in setting up a dialing 
table.

• Through a PBX, use blocking tables to block outdial to certain area codes.

• Check with your long distance vendor to monitor the use of outgoing lines 

for unusual outgoing calls.

Monitor usage through 
reports

You can easily review outdialing usage to look for toll fraud patterns. 
MeetingPlace provides both a standard outbound dialing report and the 
capability to export raw data to third party software programs.

Use the MeetingTime Outbound Dialing Report, Port Usage Report, Raw 
Meeting Outdial Information (Users) Report, or Raw System Outdial Report to 
monitor unusual inbound and outbound activity on a trunk. For descriptions 
and examples of these reports, see
