Description
Mtg. start guard
time (min)

time of the meeting. This time guarantees ports when a voice meeting overruns its
scheduled end time.
Set this parameter to 0 minutes to be able to schedule back-to-back meetings. Set
this parameter for a longer period if your users tend to have longer meetings and/or
your system is less busy. When your guard time expires and no ports are available,
you cannot extend the voice component of your meeting.

Although non-zero guard times guarantee ports before and after a meeting, most
users simply schedule some “padding” into their meetings. For example, if a user
wants an hour-long meeting and wants to pad it to allow callers time to enter the
meeting, listen to the roll call and agenda, and greet one another, the user would
simply schedule the meeting for 70 minutes. In this case, managing guard times
can be an unnecessary complication.
