Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing for a Segmented Meeting Access
Configuration
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing supports two segmented meeting access configurations
that allow you to provide external access to your users while maintaining network security. Though you
can provide external access to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web conferences by simply opening ports in
your firewall, we do not recommend this option because it lacks security.

About Segmented Meeting Access
While external participation is possible by controlling port access through a firewall, we highly
recommend that you consider a segmented meeting access (SMA) configuration instead. SMA
configurations isolate some meetings on the private corporate network while exposing others, designated
as external, to the Internet. Users designate their meetings as internal or external during the scheduling
process by setting the Allow Internet Access parameter on the New Meeting scheduling page.
Typically, a Cisco MCS is placed in the demilitarized zone, or DMZ, a network segment created between
the private corporate network and the Internet to host meetings for external access.
