Set a default audio and video service provider for meeting
rooms in your organization. When you specify a default audio and video
service provider, that service provider name displays in the Voice
and Video field of the New Meeting Room window when a user creates
a new meeting room.
About this task
For information about the IBM® Sametime® Meeting Server
preferences, see the topic Meeting preferences.
Procedure
-
Update the Sametime Conference Manager configuration
by completing the following steps.
-
On the server hosting the Conference Manager, open the
ConferenceManager.properties file.
Each adapter has its own ConferenceManager.properties file.
websphere_install_path/AppServer/profiles/profile_name/installedApps/cell_name/ConferenceFocus.ear/ConferenceFocus.war/ConferenceManager.properties
-
Change the Conferencemanager.properties file for the desired adapter to
be set as default and add this property to the file:
defaultProvider=true
If a customer wants to use a third party as the default provider, see this topic for information:
Configuring an external TCSPI adapter as the default audio video provider.
Note: You must add the defaultProvider preference to the
ConferenceManager.properties file. The defaultProvider
preference does not reside there by default. If the defaultProvider
preference is not set in the Conferencemanager.properties file, the default
audio and video service provider is not available on the Sametime client.
-
Restart the Sametime Conference Manager or the
combined Sametime Media Manager's SIP Proxy/Registrar and
Conference Manager according to your configuration.
- Update the client preferences so users can access the feature
by completing the following steps.
-
Download and install the most recent Sametime client
fix. Locate the Sametime client fixes at IBM Fix Central.
- Enable the following managed setting for clients:
When a user creates a new meeting room, the New Meeting
Room window displays the configured default provider already selected
as the default and the
Use as my default service provider check
box is enabled. If the user does not see the expected results in the
New Meeting Room window, the feature is not set up correctly. Set
up logging as described in the topic
Logging and tracing on the Sametime Connect Client.
