Introduction
These release notes describe requirements, restrictions, and caveats for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 2.1.1. These release notes are updated for every maintenance release but not for patches or hot fixes. Before you install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express, we recommend that you review this document for information about issues that may affect your system.
This document applies to both of the following products:
•
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express
•
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express VT
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express provides advanced scheduled and reservationless voice, web, and video meeting features, including the option to integrate with Microsoft Outlook.
For more information about Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express, see the following documents:
•
Configuration and Maintenance Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 2.x
•
User Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 2.x
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express VT
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express VT provides ad hoc voice, video, and web conferencing capabilities. Ad hoc conferences are initiated through the end-user interfaces of products other than Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express. For example, you can initiate either a voice-only or a voice-and-video ad hoc conference by using the "Meet-Me" button or the "Conf" button on Cisco Unified IP Phones that are registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly called Cisco Unified CallManager). You can also initiate voice, video, and web conferences through Cisco Unified Personal Communicator.
For more information about Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express VT and ad hoc conferencing, see the Configuration and Maintenance Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 2.x

On Mac OS 9.2, Mozilla 1.2.1 is the only supported browser. Sharing a screen from Mac OS 9.2 is not available.
•
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express does not work with Intel-based Apple Macintosh clients if SSL is enabled on the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express system. In this case, users with Macs cannot join meetings and if a user with a Mac tries to join the meeting, the meeting closes to all users, including non-Mac users.
Client Software Requirements: Linux
Make sure that Linux user workstations meet the client software requirements in Table 5, or provide these requirements to your users.
Restrictions for Linux Clients
The screen-sharing feature is not available on the Linux platform. Nevertheless, users may view and annotate screens shared by users on other platforms.
Client Software Requirements: Sun Solaris

Restrictions for Sun Solaris Clients
The screen-sharing feature is not available on the Sun Solaris platform. Nevertheless, users may view and annotate screens shared by users on other platforms.
Call-Control Requirements
Unless your system is being used solely for ad hoc conferencing, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express requires integration with one of the call-control systems listed in Table 7.
Note
The names for Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.3, Release 5.1, and Release 6.0 have been changed to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 4.3, Release 5.1, and Release 6.0.
The names of Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.0, Release 4.1, Release 4.2, and Release 5.0 have not changed and remain the same.
1 H.323 call-control systems and video endpoints must be capable of supporting midcall video escalation and de-escalation. Upon joining the meeting, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express negotiates the video session by sending a second H.245 Terminal Capabilities Set message indicating the video compression in use for the meeting. H.323 call-control systems and endpoints must also support H.245 alphanumeric or H.245 signal dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) relay for transmitting digits.
2 SIP call-control systems and video endpoints must be capable of supporting midcall video escalation and de-escalation. Upon joining the meeting, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express negotiates the video session by sending a SIP REINVITE message indicating the video compression in use for the meeting. SIP call-control systems and endpoints must support either Key Press Markup Language (KPML) or RFC 2833 DTMF signaling.
Directory Requirements
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express system requires one of the following systems for directory authentication:
•
Cisco CallManager 3.3 or later
•
Cisco CallManager 3.3 or later using Microsoft Active Directory 2000 or later
•
Cisco CallManager 3.3 or later using SunONE Directory Server 5.2
•
Cisco CallManager 3.3 or later using Netscape Directory Server 4.x
Quality of Service (QoS) Requirements
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express system requires a network enabled with DiffServ (RFC 2474, 2475) QoS for voice traffic.
Ad Hoc Web Conferencing Requirements
On a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express system, ad hoc web conferencing is supported with Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Release 1.2 and later releases. For more information about integrating with Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, see the Configuration and Maintenance Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Release 2.x.
See the following sections for ad hoc web conferencing client software requirements:
•
Client Software Requirements: Windows
•
Client Software Requirements: Apple Macintosh
•
Client Software Requirements: Linux
•
Client Software Requirements: Sun Solaris
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Phone View Requirements
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Phone View allows you to conveniently access certain Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express features by using the screen and buttons on your Cisco Unified IP Phone. For example, you can use your Cisco Unified IP Phone to join meetings, start reservationless meetings, view a list of upcoming meetings, and view meeting details. After joining a meeting, you can perform in-meeting operations such as locking the meeting, recording the meeting, viewing a list of participants, and muting or ejecting participants.
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Phone View is available only to Cisco Unified IP Phones that are registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Note
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express Phone View is not supported with Cisco Unified CallManager Express or Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express.

Open Caveats

Only severity 1, severity 2, and select severity 3 open caveats, as well as all customer-found defects, are provided in this document, and they are listed in order of severity and then in alphanumeric order by bug identifier. For more information about an individual defect, click or go to the URL in Table 12 to access the online record for that defect, including workarounds.
