Description
The MeetingPlace Server hostname.
This parameter refers to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system hostname. If you are installing
multiple web servers that share a database and point to the same Audio Server system, make sure that the audio
server hostname on all of these web servers match.
Note If a connection exists between the web server and the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server
system—that is, if there is no firewall between them, port 5003 is not blocked, and the audio server
system is up and running—then you can use an IP address instead of a hostname. However, using an IP
address prevents you from taking advantage of the audio server system’s reverse connection feature,
which allows the audio server system to initiate a connection to the web server when port 5003 is
blocked inbound.

Notes
Description
The location of the web server.
• Internal (Full Access)
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is installed with all features enabled and this server is
placed inside your corporate network. In Segmented Meeting Access-2 Server (SMA-2S) deployments, this
server functions as the internal web server.
• External (Limited Access)
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is installed with attend-only capability. In SMA-2S
deployments, this server is placed outside your corporate firewall in an Internet-accessible network, such
as a DMZ, and functions as the external web server.
• Both
Depending on your release of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing, you may see this option
referred to as Both (Full Access) or Both (SMA-1S).
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is installed on a single machine, but configured to host two
websites. One website provides a full-access user interface to internal users while the second website
provides attend-only access to Internet users. This server is placed in the DMZ and is the definition of a
Segmented Meeting Access-1 Server (SMA-1S) deployment.
Note While the Both configuration has some security benefits, we strongly recommend the SMA-2S
deployment for maximum security.
