Port-based meeting scheduling and billing
Port-based meeting service is set up by turning on and off ports using the
Schedule Conference Room Ports function in the Ethernet Switch and Port
Provisioning section of Port Manager. This feature uses Authorization Code
Billing as its billing method. This section describes the requirements to set up
Port-based conference room billing.
Port-based conference billing
Port-based conference billing is based on the billing rates set up in the Billing
Manager module. Visitors are authenticated and billed using Authorization
Codes generated for the meeting port(s).
Administrator requirements for port-based conference services
To provide conference services using the Schedule Conference Room Ports
function, the YesWare system administrator must have provisioned the
Ethernet-VBN or Enhanced EtherLoop-VBN conference room ports with
"meeting" port use contexts as described earlier in this document.
Operator requirements for port-based conference services
After the meeting ports are provisioned, a non-technical user can use the
Schedule Conference Room Ports function to schedule conferences.
• Procedure 11-4 on page 11-13 presents the steps to book a conference
room using the Schedule Conference Room Ports function.
Visitor requirements for port-based conference services
General visitor requirements for port-based conference services are the same
as for all other YesWare VBN services. The "meeting" port use context used
in port-based conference room billing requires the user to submit a valid
Authorization Code to access YesWare services.
