Meeting Exchange Express Edition
Meeting Exchange Express Edition Release 1.5 is an audio conferencing server aimed at
mid-market enterprise customers. It offers a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or Time Division
Multiplexing (TDM) solution for up to 300 concurrent users. It supports scheduled and
reservation-less conferencing through a Web interface where conference hosts can create, edit,
and delete conference reservations for single instance and recurring bookings.
Meeting Exchange Express Edition ships with an optional plug-in for Microsoft Outlook. This
plug-in enables users to schedule conferences using the Microsoft Outlook application. A
Conference Call tab displays in the existing New Appointment screen and enables conference
hosts to book scheduled conferences or retrieve their on-demand conference details, using the
standard Microsoft Outlook calendar and invitation functions.
Meeting Exchange Express Edition is fully compatible with the Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) and Microsoft Active Directory 2003. It is also fully integrated with
Communications Process Manager 2.0 (CPM). CPM users can create exception conferences in
the CPM interface which are managed by Meeting Exchange Express Edition as ad hoc
conferences. In addition, Meeting Exchange Express Edition can inform CPM of active
conferences on the server using a SIPPING subscribe/notify mechanism.
Meeting Exchange Express Edition can be integrated with IBM Sametime 7.5 application, using
the IBM Lotus adaptor 1.0.5. This integrated solution allows users to Click-to-Conference from
the Sametime Connect client. It also provides embedded audio conference controls in the
Sametime Web Meeting, enabling conference hosts to identify speakers, mute one or many
participants, and dial out to bring new people into the call, among other capabilities.
Meeting Exchange Express Edition Release 1.5 is localized into a number of languages,
including German, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. Avaya has translated the GUI
interfaces, the documentation suite, and all audio message recordings.
