Component

Functions 

Cisco MeetingPlace 
audio server 

•

Handles the audio conference. 

•

Schedules the video conference port resources for the Cisco IPVC MCU. 

•

Sets the parameters that are interpreted by 
Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration, which uses these parameters to 
control conference resources. 

Cisco MeetingPlace 
H.323/SIP IP 
Gateways 

•

Allows the Cisco MeetingPlace system to communicate with IP telephony 
devices. 

•

Connects the Cisco MeetingPlace audio server to the network and to 
Cisco CallManager or the H.323 gatekeeper. 

•

Establishes the link between the Cisco MeetingPlace audio server and the 
Cisco IPVC MCU to enable video and audio participants to hear and speak 
to each other.
