Servers

On the Servers page you can see and edit all your connected Meeting Server Call Bridges. You can also add new Call Bridges, or you can edit details for a cluster. For each cluster, you can set up provisioning of users and create space templates, you can associate the cluster with TMS to see upcoming meetings in Meeting Management. If you or another use has already set up provisioning, but did not commit the changes, you will see a notification banner for the cluster with a link that sends you to the Provisioning page, Review and commit tab for the cluster.

Your Meeting Management connects to Meeting Servers via the Call Bridge API. If you did not set up an API user account on each Call Bridge for your Meeting Management, please do that before you continue. For instructions, see "Accessing the API" in Cisco Meeting Server API Reference guide. You can find it on the Programming Guides page on cisco.com.

Also, if your CDR receiver address is not set correctly your Meeting Management cannot receive any information about ongoing meetings.

Add Call Bridges

To add a Call Bridge:

1. On the Servers page, click Add Call Bridge.

2. In the Server address field, enter the IP address or FQDN (fully qualified domain name) for your Call Bridge API.

   This is the same as your Web Admin Interface address.

   Note: If you type in IPv6 addresses, use square brackets.

3. In the Port field, enter the port number for your Call Bridge API.

4. Enter the Username and Password for your Call Bridge API.

   Note: For security and auditing reasons, we strongly recommend that you use a separate user account for Meeting Management.

5. Enter a Display name.

   You can choose any display name you want. Keep in mind that it must make sense to other administrators and to video operators.

6. Optional: check Use a trusted certificate chain to verify if you want to use certificates.

7. Optional: Check certificates against certificate revocation lists (CRLs) if you have chosen to use certificates, and you want Meeting Management to reject the connection if a certificate has been revoked.

   Meeting Management will block the connection if a certificate in the chain has been revoked, or if there is a CRL it cannot access.

   We recommend that you enable this when possible.

   Note: Only certificates with HTTP Certificate Distribution points (CDPs) are supported. If you are using CRL checks, and a certificate has no CDP, or if the CDP is not reachable via HTTP, then the connection is rejected.

   Also, Meeting Management must be set up so it can connect to external address via HTTP.

8. Optional: If you have chosen to use certificate security, then Upload certificate.

   Certificate requirements:

   • The certificate chain should include the certificate of the CA that signed the Web Admin Interface's certificate, plus any certificates higher in the certificate chain, up to and including the root CA certificate.

   • The server address you entered for your Call Bridge must be included in the Web Admin Interface certificate.

     Note: If the SAN (Subject Alternative Name) field is used, Meeting Management does not look at the Common Name, so make sure that the server address is added to the SAN field.

9. Click Add.

10. Optional: Rename cluster to give it a name that makes sense to you as well as all other users.

If the Call Bridge you added is part of a cluster, the other Call Bridges in the cluster are auto-discovered and displayed below so you can easily add them.
