MeetMe time limit

[Ming Yuan Chiu]

We have a MeetMe call setup for a group that needs to do a con-call but no one will be at the office to initiate it. So they asked us to setup a MeetMe before 16 hours before the con-call is suppose to happen. We tried this before but the conference got dropped. Note, what we did was setup the MeetMe con-call then put the hold on hold so that it doesn't drop the call. Is there a limit on how long a MeetMe will stay up?

Hi Ming,

You are probably hitting these two CUCM Service Parameter Config which will control how long this will stay up;

Clusterwide Parameters (Feature - General)

Maximum Call Duration Timer :

This parameter specifies the minutes that a call can remain active before Cisco CallManager clears it. A value of zero disables the timer.

This is a required field.

Default: 720.

Unit: min.

Minimum: 0.

Maximum: 35791.

Maximum Hold Duration Timer :

This parameter specifies the minutes that one or both parties on a call can remain on hold before Cisco CallManager clears the call. A value of zero disables the timer.

This is a required field.

Default: 360.

Unit: min.

Minimum: 0.

Maximum: 35791.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

The above requirement of starting the MeetMe conference through an external phone(PSTN) along with authentication,limit of users per conference and scheduleing feature IS POSSIBLE through an application and we have done it.

Since the conference can be started through an PSTN phone it will not be required to start the the conference much earlier nor it will be required to change the Maximum Call Duration Timer in CCM
