Chapter 1: Introduction

Microsoft Adapter integrates with Microsoft Office Live Communications Server (LCS) 2005 to provide audio connectivity between the Microsoft Office Communicator or Microsoft Office Live Meeting client application and an Avaya audio conferencing bridge.

Microsoft Adapter is compatible with Microsoft Office Communicator 2005, version 1.0, Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005, version 7, and the Mx5.0.18.0 software installed on an Avaya audio conferencing bridge.

Roles of a conference userThis guide uses the following terms to describe the roles of a conference user:

Conference leader. A person who is authorized to control all the users of the conference. A conference can have more than one leader.

Conference presenter. A person who is chosen by the leader to present the conference. A conference leader might add a presenter at the time of scheduling the conference, or might promote an attendee as the presenter, after that attendee has joined the conference.

This role is only applicable to users of Live Meeting.

Conference attendee. A person with no privileges to control other users of the conference. A conference leader controls all the attendees of the conference.

AudienceThis guide is for conference presenters or organizers and attendees who use the Office Communicator or Live Meeting client application to attend audio conferences.

This guide assumes that Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 and Microsoft Live Meeting 2005 are already installed on the user's computer.

Chapter 4: Introduction to Conference Scheduler for Microsoft Outlook

In Avaya Meeting Exchange 5.0, there are a number of ways to book or schedule a conference call. You can contact your Conference Operator who can schedule a conference on your behalf using an application called Client Registration Server (CRS) Front End. Alternatively, you can schedule a conference call using an e-mail application such as Microsoft Outlook or IBM Lotus Notes.

The Avaya Conference Scheduler plug-in for Microsoft Outlook enables you to schedule an on-demand conference or a scheduled conference, using the Microsoft Outlook application. The Conference Scheduler plug-in seamlessly integrates with your Microsoft Outlook calendar to provide an additional tab in the New Appointment dialog. Using the Conference Call tab, you can book a conference. The conference access details are sent along with the other details of the meeting to all invitees you have selected.

Note:Note: An on-demand or demand conference is a conference that you can use at any

time. It is always active and accessible. To use it, you can send the conference access details to your participants along with a meeting time.

Note:Note: A scheduled conference is a conference that starts and ends at a certain time.

You can set properties for the conference such as roll call or play tone on entry/exit.

The following chapters of the current guide describe the Avaya Conference Scheduler plug-in for Microsoft Outlook:

● Installing Conference Scheduler for Microsoft Outlook

● Using Conference Scheduler for Microsoft Outlook

● Conference Scheduler Keypad Codes

Chapter 5: Installing Conference Scheduler for Microsoft Outlook

This chapter describes how to install the Conference Scheduler plug-in for Microsoft Outlook. You can install the Conference Scheduler plug-in if you have Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007.

There are two ways to install the Conference Scheduler plug-in. Your System Administrator will let you know which method applies to your situation:

● Network Installation

● SMS

Network InstallationYour System Administrator will provide you with a link to a Web page which is hosted on the conferencing server. This Web page will contain a link to the installation program for the Conference Scheduler plug-in. The Conference Scheduler plug-in for Microsoft Outlook supports Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

Note:Note: If you already a user of the Conference Scheduler plug-in, your System

Administrator usually manages the upgrade process using a silent deployment method. If he is not using the silent deployment method, he may provide you with the link to the installation Web page. If this is the case, uninstall any previous version before beginning the install process outlined below.

1. Click the Conference Scheduler link on the internal Web site.

2. Click Yes to accept the security certificate.

3. Click the link corresponding to your current version of Microsoft Outlook.



4. Navigate through the installation wizard.

You can run the installation from the conferencing server. Alternatively, you can save the files to your computer and run it from that location.

The network installation consists of two phases:

- The Winzip Self-Extractor unzips the installation files. - The installation files install the plug-in files on your computer.

Ensure that you select your required language from the Choose Language dialog.

Note:Note: The Conference Scheduler plug-in for Microsoft Outlook requires a number of

software components in order to run successfully. These software components include Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 and Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005 Runtime or the second edition of the Runtime. If your computer does not have these software components, the installation wizard installs them now.

- If you do not have these software components, see Installing Pre-requisites on page 32.

- If you have these software components already, see step 5 of Network Installation on page 31.

5. Click Close when the installation completes.

6. Restart Microsoft Outlook and select Calendar to view the new Conference Call tab.

Note:Note: You are prompted for your account e-mail and account password the first time

you schedule a conference in Outlook Calendar. Ensure you enter the same password that is created for your End User account on the Meeting Exchange Express Edition Web interface. Your System Administrator can provide this information for you.

Note:Note: After an installation or an upgrade of the Conference Scheduler plug-in for

Microsoft Outlook, you will experience a short delay when you open Microsoft Outlook for the first time. This delay is due to the fact that the plug-in retrieves a number of files from the server. In addition to this delay, it can take an extra 10 seconds to open Microsoft Outlook each time you open it after you install the Conference Scheduler plug-in for Microsoft Outlook.

Installing Pre-requisitesMicrosoft Office Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 require different pre-requisites. The Conference Scheduler for Microsoft Outlook installation wizard detects which version that your computer is running. It also detects which components you require.

● Continue with step 5 of Network Installation on page 31.

SMSSystems Management Server (SMS) is a technology that your System Administrator uses to push out software updates to the entire company network. If your System Administrator chooses to deploy the Conference Scheduler plug-in using this method, you may experience a delay of a few seconds when you open Microsoft Outlook for the first time after the deployment.

Outlook UpdatesIf your System Administrator updates the release of the Conference Scheduler software, you may experience some minutes of delay when you open Microsoft Outlook for the first time following an update.
