Chapter 3 Installing Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration
Before You Install
There are many ways to set up Cisco CallManager to work with Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration.
For example, you can use the guidelines in the
Cisco IP Video Telephony Solution Reference Network
Design
to set up Cisco CallManager to route all calls, or you can follow the example in this section to
have the gatekeeper route H.323 calls. The best solution will depend on your network environment and
requirements. Determining the best configuration of Cisco CallManager for your network is beyond the
scope of this document; see the documentation for Cisco CallManager or contact your Cisco technical
support representative. See the
Guide to Cisco Conferencing Documentation and Support
.
Note
If your Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway is not yet configured for use with Cisco CallManager,
see the
Administrator’s Guide
for Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway, Release 5.2.1 for
configuration instructions.
To set up Cisco CallManager if you use a gatekeeper to route calls, perform the following general steps:
Step 1
Create a gatekeeper device that points to the gatekeeper associated with the Cisco IPVC MCU.
Step 2
Create an H.225 (Gatekeeper Controlled) trunk for the Cisco IPVC MCU.
Step 3
Create a route pattern to route calls to the H.225 (Gatekeeper Controlled) trunk for the
Cisco IPVC MCU.
