Port and IP Address Requirements
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express system has two network interfaces, labeled port 1 and port 2
on the back panel of the Cisco MCS server.The operating system calls thesenetwork interfaces eth0 and
eth1, respectively.
NoteThe terminology can be ambiguous. The hardware ports are located on the rear panel of the Cisco MCS
server and are labeled port 1 and port 2. The Ethernet ports are called eth0 and eth1. Therefore,
eth0 = port 1 and eth1 = port 2.
Follow these guidelines when installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express:
• Your system must have two Ethernet ports and two IP addresses. Both Ethernet ports must be
configured for proper operation.
OL-6666-03
Release Notes for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1
3
System Requirements
CautionBoth eth0 and eth1 need individual IP addresses and distinct hostnames that are fully
qualified, including the domain name. The distinct hostname must be able to resolve in the
DNS server with that associated IP address. Otherwise, users outside the local domain cannot
access the web interfaces.
The distinct hostname must be able to resolve in the DNS server with that associated IP
address.
• Port 1 (eth0) is primarily used for voice media and HTTP signaling and for the End-User Interface
and Administration Center. The hostname associated with port 1 is the one that end users see.
• Port 2 (eth1) is primarily used for web conferencing.
• If connectivityis lost to port 1 (eth0), novoice connectivity is possible. Port 2 (eth1) cannot be used
as a redundancy solution.
CautionBoth eth0 and eth1 must be accessible by end users. (You cannot have one connected to an
outside segment and the other connected to an inside segment unless connectivity is available
between those segments.)
Switch Requirements
The following requirements apply to all releases:
• Ensure that the network configuration for the two ports matches your switch configuration. This
configuration can be either 100 or 1000 Mbps full duplex.
• We do not recommend using 10 Mbps links and we do not support that for Release 1.1.2.
The following requirement applies to Release 1.1.2 only:
• Your switch must be set to auto negotiation if your speed is set to 1000 Mbps. Otherwise, the
interface will not synchronize with the switch and you will not see any network connectivity. If you
look at the back of the switch, it will show no connectivity and if you look at the back of the eth0
server, no lights will be lit.
Cisco Unified IP Phones That Support the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express System
The following Cisco Unified IP Phones support the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express application:
• Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940 G and G-GE series
• Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960 G and G-GE series
NoteFor Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940 G and G-GE and 7960 G and G-GE series, the minimum requirement
is to use firmware load “P00306000403” — which is version 6.0(4.3) — or later. To upgrade the

Added Support for Additional Servers
New and Changed Information
In Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1.2, we added support for the following servers:
• Cisco MCS 7825-H2-RC1
• Cisco MCS 7825-I2-RC1
• Cisco MCS 7845H-3.0-IPC1
• Cisco MCS 7845-H1-RC1
• Cisco MCS 7845-I1-RC1
See the “Server Requirements” section on page 2 for details.
Added Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Support
This feature allows Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Release 1.1 users to attend a
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express web-only meeting.
NoteThese web-only meetings haveno voice component—the voice component of the meeting is handled by
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator.
To initiate a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express web-only meeting, a Cisco Unified
Personal Communicator user must have a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express profile; however, to
attenda Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express web-onlymeeting, Cisco UnifiedPersonal Communicator
users do not need a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express profile.
When a Cisco Unified Personal Communicator user initiates a web-only meeting, the
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express system assigns a unique meeting ID to the web-only meeting (but
does not display this meeting ID on the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express End-User Interface). The
web-only meeting launches automatically and brings in all Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users
as guests. No Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express profile passwords are required.
OL-6666-03
Release Notes for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1

New and Changed Information
Non-Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users can also attend the web-only meeting but they have to
receiveand enter theweb-only meeting’sURL manually.The meeting initiator usually supplies the URL
to non-Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users.
Added Support for French, German, and Australian English
In Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1.1 and earlier, we only supported English (US)
(English as spoken in the United States) in the End-User Interface, the web meeting room,
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express service for the Cisco Unified IP Phones, and the end-user
documentation. Voice prompts were in English (US) (English as spoken in the United States) and
English (UK) (English as spoken in the United Kingdom).
In Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1.2, we added support in the End-User Interface, the
web meeting room, the voice prompts, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express service for the Cisco
Unified IP Phones, and the end-user documentation for the following languages:
• French (FR) (French as spoken in France)
• German
We also added voice prompts in the following languages:
• French (CA) (French as spoken in Canada)
• English (AU) (English as spoken in Australia)
Upgraded the License Capabilities
The system software license enables all other Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express licenses. If you do
not install the system softwarelicense, or if the version is obsolete, the system behaves as if there are no
voice or web conferencing licenses installed: the system ignores anyvoice or web conferencing licenses
and uses the default values for those (six each). (The only exception is if you have a web conferencing
license installed with no system software license, then the system honors the six web conferencing
licenses as permanent, meaning they will not expire after 60 days.)
If you later buy more voice or web conferencing licenses, when you install the new voice or web
conferencing licenses, the system will still ignore them and operate with the default values (six each).
You must install the system software license for the system to use the voice and web conferencing
licenses.
Updated the Network Configuration Installation
In Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1.2, we updated the screens during the operating
system installation where you enter the network configuration details, such as the IP values for eth0 and
eth1. In Release 1.1.1 and earlier, you had to enter values on several screens, but in Release 1.1.2, you
only need to enter values on a single screen.
Changed the Configuration for Backups
10
In Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1.2, we removed the local (CP) method of archiving.
The only archiving method supported in Release 1.1.2 is remote SSH/rsync (previously called SCP).
Release Notes for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1
OL-6666-03
Changed the Cisco Unified CallManager Authentication to a PIN
Cisco Unified CallManager has two fields for authenticating Cisco Unified IP Phone users: the user
password and the PIN. In Release 1.1.2, we changed the password required by
Cisco Unified CallManager from the user password tothe PIN. Authentication over telephones typically
uses a PIN.
For systems that were installed before Release 1.1.2, the system administrator must ensure that all end
users enter their PINs in Cisco Unified CallManager. See the Installation and Upgrade Guide forCisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1 for information on how to do this.

Documentation Updates
This section contains updates to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express documentation that were
unavailable when Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1.2 was released.
For the latest versions of all Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express documentation, go to
Added the following note about the H.323 ID field:
NoteOn the H.323 Configuration page in the Administration Center (System Configuration > Call
Configuration > H.323 Configuration), do not leave the H.323 ID field blank. You must enter
a value in that field.
Delegate Behavior
Added a note about delegate behavior that was not previously documented:
NoteAll end users can have a delegate who can schedule meetings on the end user’s behalf. An end
user can also schedule a password-protected meeting and not invite his delegate. However, in
this situation, thedelegate can still attend the meeting from the web, evenif he is not invited and
does not know the password. This behavior may present a security risk.
To join a password-protected meeting from the phone, everyone (including the meeting owner,
his delegate, the system administrator, profiled users, and guest users) must enter the meeting
password.
To join a password-protected meeting from the web, only profiled users and guest users must
enter the meeting password. The meeting owner, his delegate, and the system administrator are
NOT required to enter the meeting password.

Importing User Profiles and User Groups from Cisco Conference Connection
Removed the sentence that states that you can import user profile or user group information from Cisco
Conference Connection to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express. (Only Cisco Conference Connection
meetings may be imported into Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express.)
Importing Cisco Conference Connection Meetings
Added the following information at the beginning of the “Importing Cisco Conference Connection
Meetings” section in the “Importing Data into Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express” chapter:
NoteWhen meetings are imported from Cisco Conference Connection into
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express, the user who performs the import process automatically
becomes the scheduler for those meetings.
Before You Begin
Before you begin importing meetings from Cisco Conference Connection into
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express, ensure the following:
• The number of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express voice licenses installed on your system is
equal to or greater than the number of voice licenses in the Cisco Conference Connection
system from which you are importing meetings.
• Unless you have purchased additional web licenses (the same amount as the number of voice
licenses that your system has) and you want the imported meetings to have web conferencing
capability, make sure that the profile of the person who is importing the meetings has the Host
web meetings with parameter set to Participant list only (no licenses required).
• See the “Upgrading Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express” chapter of the Installation and
Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 1.1 for a list of the tasks you
must perform before upgrading your system from Cisco Conference Connection to
