Introduction
Security
The InterCall R&D team has developed and deployed a secure environment for
its clients. InterCall Unified Meeting is secure by design, providing users with
high-level security throughout all phases of conferencing, presentation storage,
and collaboration. InterCall protects confidential information and networked
systems through access network and content security. In addition to system
guarantees of reliability and security, up-to-date anti-virus and intrusion software
continuously protect InterCall networks and guarantee uninterrupted coverage.
InterCall also uses dependable, Tier 1 Internet Data Centers that deliver the
highest level of reliability.
Meeting Size
o Meetings can now support up to 200 participants.
Microsoft Office 64-bit support
o Calendar integration for Office 64-bit is now included with this release
Contacts Control now supports Lotus Notes 8.5.2+
Automated ANI Lookup
o Client will now match incoming ANI from Participant with phone number stored in
Moderator’s Personal Outlook Address Book.
o Currently, only the 32-bit Outlook is supported.
o Only used for Participants that dialed-in themselves and are not synched to their
web counterpart.
All Clients
The Application
Application Client
This is a Windows-based application that moderators and presenters must use.
Participants may use it to join a meeting if they wish. Depending on your role in
the meeting, your user interface will vary. But everybody’s application is installed
from the same MSI or EXE package.
The Unified Meeting Desktop Icon is a convenient way for you to manage your
meetings without the hassle of constantly logging into your account through your
browser. It allows you to execute the most common functions of Unified Meeting,
such as scheduling or starting a meeting.
Figure 2 - Options available when clicking the Unified Meeting Desktop Icon
When application sharing, the shared area of the screen can be zoomed and
panned with the scroll wheel of your mouse. Use these controls to zoom and
pan:
Down Pan up
Ctrl + Up Zoom in
Browser Participant
Participants who cannot or wish not to use the application client can join
meetings without downloading any permanent software onto their computers.
They can just use their browser instead. Using Ajax technology, Unified Meeting
downloads JavaScript and XML data objects to your computer and they run
completely within the browser environment. The Browser Participant can view all
presentations and application sharing sessions that the moderator sends.
Browser Moderator
Moderators who cannot or wish not to use the application client can moderate
meetings without downloading any permanent software onto their computers.
Like the Browser Participant, the Browser Moderator uses Ajax technology to
download JavaScript and XML data objects to your computer. The meeting can
be run completely from within the browser environment. See the System
Requirements section below for supported browsers.
See the table below for differences between moderating a meeting from the
Browser and moderating a meeting from the Application Client.
Table 2 below lists the differences in available features when joining a meeting
with the Application Client or with the Browser.
Table 3 lists the difference in available features when moderating a meeting with
the Application Client or with the Browser.
Calendar Integration
InterCall Unified Meeting has add-ins that can be integrated into your Outlook or
Lotus Notes calendar.
Outlook
There is only one button in the InterCall Unified Meeting Outlook add-in. Clicking
it populates the message with the invitation text.
The meetings you schedule are automatically added to your calendar as well.

Network Configuration
This section discusses network considerations and recommended network
configurations when using InterCall Unified Meeting.
Domain Names
All the servers used by InterCall Unified Meeting are under these domains and
their cnames. If you add them to your proxy or firewall filters, then all traffic
should flow properly, regardless of subsequent changes to the InterCall Unified
Meeting servers.
*.iconf.net
*.confarchives.com (in order to view archives)
*.conferencing.com
IP Addresses
If you cannot add the domains and their cnames listed above to your proxy or
firewall filter, you can add the list of IP addresses that InterCall Unified Meeting
uses. This list is confidential and is released only to customers who have signed
a non-disclosure agreement. Contact your Technical Support representative for
more details.
Data Streams
InterCall Unified Meeting uses different types of data streams over the course of
a meeting.
Proprietary and XML data streams
HTTP methods (GET and POST)
Ensure that your content monitoring tools, anti-virus software, and other network
devices and software do not prevent Unified Meeting from transmitting and
receiving these data streams.
Authentication Proxy
If your organization uses an authentication proxy, then PCs behind the proxy that
use Internet Explorer 6 must have “Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections”
enabled.
Email invitations for meetings scheduled from the Outlook Calendar control
originate from your local email server, with the meeting moderator’s email
address.
Ports
SSL Non-SSL
TCP/port 80 (HTTP) X X
TCP/port 443 (HTTPS) X
UDP&TCP port X
1755.(MMS)
Table 5 - Ports used by InterCall Unified Meeting
Latency
InterCall Unified Meeting uses a polling architecture that is susceptible to network
latency. All networking appliances should be configured to not introduce
additional delay for network packet transmission to InterCall Unified Meeting
servers.
To measure your current latency to the servers, start up a meeting and double
click the green bars located in the bottom right hand corner of the application
window. A screen will pop up showing you the current measured latency between
the test computer and server.
Latency less than 100ms is optimal. Latency between 100ms and 200 ms should
provide reasonable response times and a stable meeting experience. Latency
greater than 200ms may potentially introduce delays that will degrade the
meeting experience.
Note A
Join meeting data is collected with gzip enabled. Amount of downloaded
data may increase by more than 100% if you do not request gzip. You
cannot request gzip for content data (slides and application sharing.)
If you’re using a proxy, you will need to enable “Use HTTP 1.1 through
proxy connections” in Internet Explorer 6 for the gzip request to be sent.
Difference in transfer can be attributed to fewer duplicate requests from
newer, more efficient, browsers.
Browser Participant data transfer can be broken down as follows:
Note B
There are negligible difference with different display resolutions
When starting a presentation, there is ~5 KB, plus ~1 KB per slide, of
overhead control data
Moderators preload the presentation files for the entire deck, at the lowest
uploaded resolution, when they start a presentation. A 40-slide deck, with
specs stated on the previous page, will download roughly 800 KB – 1 MB
when slide show begins.
Moderators receive presentation files for other resolutions as they are
requested during the meeting, one slide at a time.
Moderators preload all thumbnails when they start a presentation. Each
one ranges from ~ 5 KB for simple images to ~ 80+KB for complex ones
All presentations files are stored in the browser or proxy cache where
applicable, even when using the application client.
Note C
Participants receive presentation files as they are requested during the
meeting, one slide at a time.
All presentations files are stored in the browser or proxy cache where
applicable, even when using the application client.
image/jpeg
application/octet-stream
application/x-zip-compressed
If you are hosting InterCall Unified Meeting archives on your own Windows 2003
web server, you need to add, in IIS,
.dat - application/octet-stream
.ath - image/gif
.shtml – text/html
as extensions/MIME types and enable server side includes for .shtml files.
Contact your support representative for more information on hosting Unified
Meeting archives using IIS 6/Windows 2003.
Remote Computing
Unified Meeting is designed for local use. That means you
install the application on the local PC
copy files necessary for running meetings to the local hard drive
use the local CPU for processing
store your preferences and login credentials on the local file system
(users.ini)
That’s why there is no direct support for Unified Meeting on remote computing
environments. That is also why Unified Meeting does not support roaming
profiles.
Pop-Up Blockers
Some pop-up blockers may potentially obstruct certain features of InterCall
Unified Meeting. For example, surveys and quizzes are not available if the
window that contains them does not open. Browser participants who need help
from Customer Support may also need to have pop-up blockers disabled so the
support representative can collect the necessary log files for troubleshooting.
Most of the popular pop-up blockers do not interfere with InterCall Unified
Meeting. However, if you find that your pop-up blocker is affecting Unified
Meeting’s functions, you can hold down the ‘Ctrl’ key when clicking the web link
to permit the pop-up window to open.
2. On the Security tab, select the Internet icon, then click Custom
Level.
Note: Users will be prompted to continue by the browser before each use. This
can be avoided by setting Launching programs and files in an
IFRAME to Enable instead of Prompt. However, because this will apply
to all sites visited by the browser, this is a security risk and is not
recommended.
Overview
Local storage
During installation, the application creates the file users.ini and writes to
properties in it.
users.ini can be found in %appdata%\Meeting Center\
where %appdata% is the Application Data path on Windows XP/Vista/7
Property names in users.ini are case sensitive.
In the same directory, there is a file called anicache.dat and it stores the
ANI to Display Name Lookup Database.
File Size
MeetingCenter.msi is about 10 MB. MeetingCenter.exe is about 14 MB.
MeetingCenter.cab is about 8.5 MB
Log Files
Application Client
Logging enabled by default.
The application client stores log files under
%appdata%\Meeting Center\LogFiles
where %appdata% is the Application Data path on Windows XP/Vista/7
Generates as many as six files each day the application is used.
Note: Log files are only differentiated with this suffix if there are
simultaneous Unified Meeting sessions.
Note: Log files from previous day are zipped in order to conserve disk
space on user’s computer.
Smart Install
Logging disabled by default
You can enable it by adding the string value
logfile=<path and file name>
to the registry key
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Genesys Conferencing\MeetingInstaller
There is only one log file. Log entries are cumulative.
Meeting Start
Logging disabled by default
You can enable it by adding the string value
TraceStartup=<path and file name> under the [MeetingClient] section of
users.ini.
There is only one log file. Log entries are cumulative within the same day,
but writes over itself the next day you use InterCall Unified Meeting.
Other resources available on this page include Unified Meeting Overview and a
User Guide.
Pre-Deployment Checklist
Before rolling out Unified Meeting to users at your organization, please take a
few moments to complete this questionnaire. Your answers will help InterCall
develop a deployment plan that will ensure a smooth and uneventful rollout.
Environment
These questions concern the environment in which you will deploy Unified
Meeting.
Is this a new installation or an upgrade to an existing installation? If this is
an upgrade, what was the previously installed version?
Is this a locked down environment where users cannot install applications?
Do users have permission to change browser settings?
Does your environment support user-based login scripts?
Do the user settings reset on a regular basis?
Are there other permission-related issues, not covered by the above
questions, which may affect rolling out Unified Meeting?
Modification
This section highlights some of the things you may need to change in order for
Unified Meeting to work in your environment. It also lists some of the things you
may want to change in order for Unified Meeting to meet your requirements.
Depending on how you deploy the MSI package, you can change these things
through an MST file or as msiexec properties.

Steps in to the Unified Meeting Desktop Icon
Table 10 - Elements of base scenario 2
Variations
If your requirements deviate from the typical install, you can take them into
account with these variations.
The InterCall Unified Meeting MSI package is compatible with content distribution
software from many vendors. Given the variety of content distribution software in
the marketplace, this document does not attempt to itemize the steps you need
to deploy an MSI under each one. Instead, having learned in the previous section
about some of the properties you can edit, you can use that information to roll out
or roll back the InterCall MSI package using the distribution software at your
organization.
Interactive Installation
The simplest way to install the InterCall Unified Meeting application client is to do
so interactively. Users in your organization who have admin rights to install
applications can follow these steps.
Installation Steps
1. This is a security warning when you initiate installation setup.
Change the install location: You can change the install location by clicking
the ‘Browse…’ button.
Smart Installation
Targeted to users who do not have administrative privileges on the local
machine, or those who do not know whether they have admin privileges, Smart
Install is an installer that can determine what the local privileges are and proceed
with the installation accordingly.
Moderators who do not have the application client will encounter the Smart
Installer in the Conference Manager when they try to start a meeting. The Smart
Installer comes in the form of a browser plugin and an .exe file. Depending on the
browser used, the plugin will be an Active X control (Internet Explorer), or an XPI
add-on (Firefox).
From here, the user may click the warning bar at the top of the page to install the
Application Client via ActiveX, or click the link to download and run the .exe
installer.
If the user downloads the exe file, it has the naming convention
0_Y_BA_CC_MN_MeetingCenter.exe, where
0 = serverID.
Y = role in meeting. If you are a moderator, Y = m.
BA = Billing account ID
CC = Country code
MN = Meeting number.
If UAC is enabled on a Vista PC, the user may not be able to execute the
installer directly. The user will have to save the installer locally and then run it.
When a Moderator uses Firefox to start a meeting from the Conference Manager
on a machine that does not have the XPI add-on installed, they will be given the
option to install the meeting application or moderate using the browser. Clicking
the install option will bring up the following screen:
From here, the user may click the button on the information bar at the top of the
page to install the XPI add-on, or click the link to download and run the .exe
installer.
If the user chooses to install the XPI add-on, they must restart Firefox, sign in to
the Conference Manager, and click the install option again. The XPI add-on will
launch the application install from there.
If the user chooses to download the .exe file, it has the naming convention
0_Y_BA_CC_MN_MeetingCenter.exe, where
0 = serverID.
Y = role in meeting. If you are a moderator, Y = m.
BA = Billing account ID
CC = Country code
MN = Meeting number.
If UAC is enabled on a Vista PC, the user may not be able to execute the installer
directly. The user will have to save the installer locally and then run it.
If the user cannot write to the root of C:\, the installer will try to write to the
application folder (%appdata%) and C:\temp.
If Unified Meeting is successfully pushed to your users, they need to log off from
the PC and log back on in order to see and access Unified Meeting.
You can also access it from the taskbar notification area by clicking the Unified
Meeting Desktop Icon.
If Unified Meeting is successfully pushed to your users, they will see a prompt to
sign in. They can use Unified Meeting after they sign in.
Moderators always need to be signed in to Unified Meeting before they can use
it.
Before moderators can use the Outlook add-in for the first time, they must sign in
to InterCall Unified Meeting. This encrypts and stores the login and password in
users.ini. After that, they can use the Outlook add-in regardless of whether they
are signed in to Unified Meeting or not.
Moderators who install the lite application by extracting the .cab file do not get
the Unified Meeting Desktop Icon and so cannot sign in from there.
Removal
Version 4.x
Uninstalling InterCall Unified Meeting 4.x is very simple. For regular installations,
go to Start Menu | Programs | InterCall Unified Meeting | Uninstall InterCall
Unified Meeting.
If the user extracted the .cab file and installed the lite client, go to Add/Remove
Programs and select InterCall Unified Meeting for removal.
If your users require assistance from InterCall technical support, they should
back up their log files before uninstalling. Otherwise the log files will be deleted
during the uninstall. These files will help the support representative troubleshoot
their problems.
Product Configuration
After Unified Meeting is installed on the end users’ desktop, they need to
configure some settings in the Conference Manager. This will ensure that the
behavior of Unified Meeting meets their needs and expectations.
They do this by going to the Preferences section. There are three tabs in that
section.
After the moderators have configured Unified Meeting to suit their needs, they
need to click the ‘Save’ button at the bottom of the page for the settings to take
effect.
Setting Description
First Name Moderator’s first name. Used with moderator’s last name
when sending invitations so participants know who invited
them. Field can not be modified.
Last Name Moderator’s last name. Used with moderator’s first name
when sending invitations so participants know who invited
them. Field can not be modified.
General
These settings determine several of the default behaviors for Unified Meeting.
Setting Description
Allow dial out to For dialout-capable accounts, enabling this check
Moderator upon web box allows the moderator to choose to have Unified
meeting entry Meeting call the Moderator when the web portion of
the meeting starts.
Allow Participants to dial For dialout-capable accounts, enabling this check
out to themselves upon box allows participants to choose to have Unified
web meeting entry Meeting call them when they enter the web portion

Table 13 - Fields in the General tab
Meeting Security
These fields determine the default behavior of Unified Meeting with respect to
security measures.
Setting Description
Participant If checked, Unified Meeting will assign a unique 5-
Identification digit Participant ID code to each web participant.
Unified Meeting will use this code to provide a unified
web and audio presence for each participant.
This setting can be overridden on a per meeting basis
if it’s available.
Enable Secure Data If checked, Unified Meeting will use SSL encryption to
Transmission(SSL) transmit content during the meeting
This setting can be overridden on a per meeting basis
if it’s available.
Table 14 - Fields in the Meeting Security tab
Multimedia
Video
InterCall Unified Meeting has a video feature that allows moderators, presenters,
and participants alike to broadcast video. In order to use video, they need an
industry-standard webcam using Windows WDM Image Capture win32 driver
(correct version needed for webcam.)
Unified Meeting uses a proprietary technology for its video streaming. Instead of
using a codec to encode the data, Unified Meeting sends jpeg files at a rate of 3
frames per second.
The default resolution for video is 160px x 120px. This resolution is optimized for
speed. The moderator can optimize the quality instead and show a 320 x 240
stream. The higher quality video stream uses just over 200kbps. The faster video
stream uses a quarter of that at just over 50 kbps.
If your bandwidth is limited, the improved quality will come at the expense of
speed. But if you have sufficient bandwidth to accommodate a 200kbps stream
(in addition to other meeting data), there will be no degradation in video quality or
the overall meeting experience.
The moderator can choose the video quality from the Meeting Options window
during a meeting.
There is a known issue where the Microsoft Lifecam NX-6000 does not work with
the Unified Meeting video feature.
Audio Streaming
Moderators can choose to broadcast the audio portion of their meeting in a live
audio stream that participants can hear on their PC speakers or headsets instead
The moderator uses the telephone as usual, and an InterCall server encodes the
sound into an audio stream using WMA 9. The audio stream is encoded at
8kbps, 11Mhz, mono CBR with a script stream at 3.072 kbps and roughly 3kbps
of overhead. The total bandwidth used is 14.09 kbps (14088bps).
The Unified Meeting audio stream uses the MMS protocol. Its default port is
UDP/TCP 1755.
ActiveX
Unified Meeting does not use ActiveX technology. The application client is a
standalone native application, while the Browser Participant does not use any
plug-ins
Meeting Start
Archive Playback
The Unified Meeting Archive Player uses the ActiveX control wmp.dll to use
Windows Media Player to play the audio portion of an archive from the browser.
Audio Streaming
The Unified Meeting Browser Participant uses the ActiveX control wmp.dll to use
Windows Media Player to play the audio stream from the browser.
Smart Install
For moderators with admin privileges and have to use the scaled down
application via smart install, they can choose to download an ActiveX control,
mcInstall.dll, to install it.
Webtours
Multi-lingual Support
Unified Meeting supports the following languages.
Dutch
English
French
German
Italian
Portuguese
Spanish
Swedish
Chinese (Simplified)
Chinese (Traditional)
Japanese
Korean
In order to see the Conference Manager and the login pages in one of the ten
supported languages, you will need to set your browser to use that language.
In order to see the application client in one of the ten supported languages, you
will need to
Set your browser to use that language
For the three Asian languages, you need to install files for East Asian
languages. Go to Control Panel | Regional (and Language) Settings
In order to see the Unified Meeting Desktop Icon in one of the ten
supported languages, you will need to
Set your Desktop Icon to use that language
For the three Asian languages, you need to install files for East Asian
languages. Go to Control Panel | Regional (and Language) Settings
In the application and the Desktop Icon, if you do not have the East Asian
languages installed, you will see little squares instead of the proper Asian
character.
The Unified Meeting Desktop Icon is a prerequisite for using the Outlook
integration and Notes integration. If you do not install the Desktop Icon, you
cannot use calendar integration for either product.
Outlook Calendar
Unified Meeting has an Outlook add-in that seamlessly and inconspicuously
integrates with your Outlook email client. This means that it is there when you
need it but does not get in your way when you don’t need it.
Figure 29 - An entry under the 'Help' menu is the only hint that the add-in is installed in
the Inbox view.
The one button that is available in the New Meeting Request view automatically
populates the invitation with all the pertinent information. There are no forms,
MAPI connections, or HTTP requests to contend with. Instead you just see
exactly what the invitation contains, and you can make additions and changes as
needed.
Figure 30 - Clicking the 'Unified Meeting' button will automatically populate the
message with invitation text in the language you choose.
The new add-in supports offline scheduling. That means you can schedule a
meeting, and have it added to your calendar, when you are not connected to the
Internet. However, the invitations will stay in your Outbox and not be sent until
you connect to your Exchange server. And you can only start or join a meeting
when you’re connected to the Internet.
Notes Calendar
InterCall has an add-on that integrates the Lotus Notes calendar with InterCall
Unified Meeting. This add-on works with Lotus Notes to enable users to
schedule, start and join meetings quickly and easily, without opening the Unified
Meeting website.
Due to a Notes limitations, moderators invitations do not allow hotlinks. You have
to copy and paste the URL into your browser
Before people can begin using Lotus Notes to add information about Unified
Meetings, they need to migrate to a new email template.
Customized Toolkit
You need to integrate this toolkit template into your Lotus Notes mail template
before the users can begin using Lotus Notes to add information about Unified
Meeting meetings.
Steps:
1. In Lotus Domino Designer, open your Lotus Notes mail template and the
provided toolkit template, mc_mail_toolkit.ntf.
b) Right click MC_Main and select Copy from the context menu.
d) Right click anywhere and select Paste from the context menu.
e) You will see that a new form named MC_Main has been added.
6. At Lotus Domino Designer Fields Selection, select Create > Resource >
Insert Subform > MC_Main as shown in Figure 33 and Figure 34.
The necessary email templates and toolkit are not included in the Unified
Meeting .msi package. Instead, you can download them from
http://content.conferencing.com/install/installnotestemplate.html. For more
information on how to apply this solution to your environment, contact your
account manager.
If your copy of Notes is in one of the eleven languages that Unified Meeting
supports, your invitation text will be in that language. I.e. if you use English
Outlook, you cannot use the Add-In to automatically populate your invitation with
Spanish text.
There is also a separate EXE available that will install a Client Side template for
the user. During the Unified Meeting installation, if Lotus Notes is detected, the
installer will be prompted with an option to go to a web page where the
LotusNotesCalendarTool.exe file can be downloaded. Any local template
changes would be over-written if the Notes Server has the toolkit integration
described above installed.
Contacts Selection
Unified Meeting has a contacts selection tool called the Enterprise Contacts
Control. It allows you to invite participants from your Outlook, Lotus Notes, or
Unified Meeting address books when you schedule a meeting from the
Conference Manager.
Once all the contacts are loaded, the control manages them as though they are
acquired directly from Outlook, Notes, or the Unified Meeting address book. The
control makes no distinction between them when it passes them to the container.
Instant Messenger
A key feature of Unified Meeting is its integration with different instant messaging
applications.
Windows Messenger
MSN/Windows Live Messenger
Office Communicator
Lotus Sametime
You can invite, via IM or email, participants to join a meeting you start
spontaneously and for which you haven’t send any invitations.
In order for Sametime integration to work properly, you may need to enter the
host name, community port, user ID, and password in the Unified Meeting
options. Sametime uses 1533 as the default community port. Yours may be
different.
