Configuring Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway
The Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway connects the Cisco MeetingPlace system to the network.
Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway also initiates the call that connects the Cisco MeetingPlace
audio server with the Cisco IPVC MCU.

If the Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway is not already connected to your network, use the
Step 1
information in this section to configure all necessary components.
Configuring Load-Balancing Configurations for Video Conferencing
In Cisco MeetingPlace deployments for large numbers of users, multiple
Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing servers can be configured in clusters, and meetings are
distributed among the servers in a cluster. However, you can install
Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration on only one of those Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing
servers, and meetings that include video conferencing must be held on that server.
Meetings that are scheduled with video ports are automatically held on the server that has
Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration installed on it. However, in order to ensure that ad-hoc video
conferences can occur, configure Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing so that meetings that are
scheduled by users whose profiles allow them to schedule video conferences are always hosted on the
server that has Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration installed on it.
If your Cisco MeetingPlace system is configured for load balancing, set the system to allow ad-hoc video
conferencing.
Perform the following steps even if Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration is not installed on a server in
Note
a cluster that includes load balancing.
Sign in to the Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing interface using your System Manager password.

Administrator's Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace Video Integration Release 5.3

If your MeetingPlace system currently supports Cisco IP telephony, you do not need to make further
changes to the Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway.
If your network includes Cisco CallManager and you have not yet configured the Cisco
MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway and Cisco CallManager to route calls to each other, see
instructions in the Administrator's Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway
Release 5.2.1.
If Cisco CallManager is not part of your network environment, MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway
can register itself directly to the H.323 gatekeeper. For instructions on configuring the
Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway for use with an H.323 gatekeeper, see the
Administrator's Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway Release 5.2.1. If it is
correctly configured, the H.323/SIP IP Gateway appears in the endpoint registration table in the
gatekeeper.
If your Cisco MeetingPlace system includes more than one Cisco MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP
Gateway, and if the gateways are connecting to a gatekeeper, the E.164 number of each
MeetingPlace H.323/SIP IP Gateway must be unique. (The E.164 numbers do not need to be unique
if they connect to Cisco CallManager.)
