Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Maintenance Manual

Because multiple ports may use identical settings, the MeetingPlace database 
uses port groups to define the settings for multiple ports simultaneously. You 
define a port group by selecting the Port Groups topic in the Configure tab.

Some information for individual ports is included in the port group definition. 
You do not have to provide this information twice when a port is a member of 
a port group. (Group information has precedence over individual port 
information.)

The configuration information you enter to define a port group, which 
includes a port access type, applies by default to all ports that are assigned to 
the group in the absence of individual port configuration information or a DID 
access plan. The following table explains the port groups.

ID number

A number from 0 to 31 that identifies 
this port group. This number is 
predefined.

Assign every line coming into 
MeetingPlace to a port group. The port 
group ID number is your choice.

Active

Whether to use this port group 
definition. You may want to define port 
groups now for later use.

Yes or No

Most likely, port groups are always 
active. You may wish to make port 
groups inactive during servicing.

Provider

An abbreviation that identifies the 
service provider.

Alpha, Numeric, or Both

Circuit ID

A number that identifies the circuit.

Assigned by the circuit provider
