• Release 4.2.5 requires anonymous authentication. If Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is set
up to use web authentication, Release 4.2.5 must be installed on a separate server with a dedicated
Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing server installed.
• If you use a hostname, domain name system (DNS) must be enabled to resolve the hostname to an
IP address.
• Each user must be associated with a Cisco IP phone. For additional information, see the
Cisco CallManager Administration documentation for your release.
• If you are running other Cisco MeetingPlace gateways that use the MeetingPlace Agent Service, we
recommend that you stop this service prior to installing Release 4.2.5.
