Designating Overbook Ports
You can also designate overbook ports. The values entered in the Overbook
Ports field (Configure tab, Server Configuration topic) allow MeetingPlace
to schedule more ports than are really available. For example, imagine you
have 96 conference ports and all 96 are booked for a meeting. If you have set
Overbook to 2, a user can still schedule another two-person meeting at the
same time.

Overbook to 2, a user can still schedule another two-person meeting at the
same time.
Overbook takes advantage of the fact that all those who are scheduled to
attend often do not in fact attend, so that unused ports are usually available.
In the rare case that all ports are scheduled and all people attend the
meeting—including those who are overbooked—the last people to call into
any of the meetings would not be able to get through. If such a meeting were
critical, the system manager or attendant could ask the overbooked callers to
reschedule for later. See Appendix I for Reservationless Meetings overbook
ports recommendations.

Configuring Ports and Port Groups to Improve Performance
MeetingPlace provides a number of parameters that allow you to control the
port configuration to maximize users’ access to the system. In most cases the
default parameters (or the parameters set by your MeetingPlace support
representative during installation) will suffice. However, as your users
increase their interest in the system, you may want to alter the port
configuration to improve performance.

The MeetingPlace database includes individual ports and port groups.
Organizing ports into groups is a convenient way of configuring multiple
ports at one time.

Configuring Individual Ports
Port configuration information includes a default port access type. When
MeetingPlace receives dialed number information (DID/DDI), the DID
access plan determines which port access type is assigned to a call.
MeetingPlace receives dialed number information (DID/DDI), the DID
access plan determines which port access type is assigned to a call.
With DID access, the number the user dials causes a particular set of digits
to pass to the MeetingPlace server. Each digit set is assigned to one of the
MeetingPlace service types (scheduling, profile access, MeetingNotes
access, participation in a meeting). The call can come in on any port, so that
the ports are dynamically allocated. If, for example, all users call the number
that corresponds to MeetingNotes access, then all unscheduled ports will be
allocated to MeetingNotes, and no new meetings can be scheduled.

allocated to MeetingNotes, and no new meetings can be scheduled.
With direct access, ports are pre-assigned to a particular service type. For
example, ports 1 through 3 to scheduling, 4 through 5 to MeetingNotes, and
6 through 12 to meetings. The number the users dial determines which ports
they access, and thus which service they receive.
