Cisco Cisco MeetingTime Quick Setup Guide

You can configure video terminal profiles (VTPs) for conference room video systems and other video 
systems that may or may not be shared by multiple users. These profiles serve several distinct purposes: 

When scheduling video meetings through the end-user web interface, users with video-scheduling 
capabilities can view the availability of video terminals and can reserve one or more video terminals 
for the meeting. Meeting notifications list the invited video terminals. 

You may configure a VTP so that, when invited, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace will automatically dial 
out to the terminal at the start of the meeting. You may further configure the VTP to skip all prompts, 
so that no keypad input from the terminal, other than answering the call, is required to bring the 
terminal into the meeting. 

Many non-Cisco video terminals are incapable, for a variety of reasons, of negotiating normal entry 
to a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meeting. You can set a VTP so Cisco Unified MeetingPlace will 
dial out to the terminal and skip all prompts. This avoids most of the complex interactions that break 
these negotiations. This "direct-to-meeting" mechanism allows Cisco Unified MeetingPlace to be 
compatible with many video terminals that are otherwise incapable of entry.
