Cisco Meeting Server brings premises-based video, audio, and web communication together to provide effective collaboration and to provide an intuitive conferencing solution for users.
A dedicated book for Cisco Meeting Server is a challenge in order to provide atypical resource to demystify it with chart flow and to help voip administrator to deploy, implement and maintain the Cisco Meeting Server.
In this WorkBook the Cisco Meeting Server operation and components are demystified in Clustering, Certificates Requirements, WebAdmin, Webbridge and CallBridge set up, the call routing logic using the main tables on CMS, how the calls are processed by the Incoming Call Table, Call Forwarding Table and Outbound Call Table, Cisco Meeting Server profiles to determine functionality for groups in the system for users, calls, and call legs, how to integrate the Cisco CMS with different cisco collaborations components such as Cisco Unified Communication Manager with appropriate Dial Plan, Cisco Expressway Series to provide WebRTC connection for external user in an easy and secure fashion, integration with the Cisco Meeting Management and Cisco Telepresence Management Suite to manage and schedule conferences, in addition, the Recorder and Scheduler components are included with detailed implementation, Streamer integration with Wowza Streaming Engine for live streaming, integration of Cisco CMS as AdHoc conference bridge, also important collaboration concepts are demystified with Wireshark such as the Accept Replaces Header and Rerouting CSS for Call Bridge Group you will not see elsewhere with atypical call flow, demysitifying one of the most complex and important concepts in collaboration which are STUN, TURN and ICE for NAT traversal through atypical call flow, why we started in the past with STUN then we moved to TURN and finally why we added ICE, I gone in depth through wireshark analysis to demystify each protocol and to understand why we jumped from STUN to TURN and finally ICE using L3/L4 encapsulation packet so that you definitely demystify this big topic.
Also It provides you as a voip administrator practice scenarios without useless theory but with a bunch and concise explanations and configuration guides from scratch.
