Configuring Meetme Conferencing in CME

[VAbr AVib]

Just trying to configure Meetme conferencing in CME, refering to the below documentation from Cisco.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmeconf.html#wp1020601

Is there a better documentation available for Version 8.0 CME ?

I have already made these below settings on CME.

There is nothing more you need, your config is parition so we cannot validate, do you have:

voice-card 0

  dsp services dspfarm

and conference ephone-dns? 

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. ephone-dn dn-tag [dual-line]

4. number number [secondary number] [no-reg [both | primary]]

5. conference {ad-hoc | meetme}

6. preference preference-order [secondary secondary-order]

7. no huntstop [channel]

8. end

The meetme conference dn is missing. You need to allocate one or more extension numbers for meetme conferences.  See

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/admin/configuration/guide/cmeconf.html#wp1011236

You may also want to add a softkey for conflist.

Try to use the show commands listed at the end of that chapter. There is also another chapter called "

Configuring Voice and Video Hardware Conferencing" with some additional information.

You may want to build more conference ephone-dns if you want multiple sessions to work.

HTH,

Chris

I believe that your config should work now. My config looks quite  similar - except some additional stuff for the SIP phones that you don't  need. But Chris is right, you need to add more ephone-dns to have more than one conference.

Thanks a lot guys !!!!!

Let me implement the same and see how the conferencing works.

I am struggling configuring conference for SIP Phones. I have CME Router with 7841 SIP Phones. Is the configuration different for SIP Phones. Can you share the configs please?

[paolo bevilacqua]

Actually, OP should use octo-line dn for conferencing, not dual-line.

Hello Chris,

I have a similar issue with the creator of this post.I have some extension numbers connected to my cme router (10.5 call manager installed).I configured it for the first time.The phones are sccp . Point to point video calls is working very well. I have successfully  integrated cme with CUCM. Users on cme can call with users on cucm. My area of challenge is to set up video conference calls.

In the CUCM deployment i have VTS and Telepresence conductor. Users on cucm can dial the meet me conference dn and join conferences.I want to see if cme users can join the conferences by dialing the meet me conference directory on the cucm. However,the cme users can join  but with video disabled and  they will disconnect after 3 minutes.

on the cme itself ,i have established the meet me conference dn. users can dial but have not tested it locally  with a third participant . I tested it with the 3rd user from cucm users and the video was equally disabled.can you assist with some troubleshooting tips.

Also if i call from cme user 1 to cme user 2,the caller id info does not display on the user 2 phone.its only the extension number that displays
