Advantages of overbooking
•
Potential use of more ports.
• Ports are not locked to and associated with only one type of conference.
Disadvantage of overbooking
•
Reserved ports may not all be available when a conference starts.
Example:
Total ports on the system = 100
Scheduled conferences = 90
Ad hoc/reservationless conferences = 80
This system is overbooked. (90+80 >100) Users can reserve up to 90 audio ports for a
conferences scheduled for specific time slots. Users can also use up to 80 audio ports for ad
hoc or reservationless conferences occurring during the same time slot. When the specified
time slot arrives, if the reservationless conferences are the first to use all of their allocated
80 ports, the scheduled conferences will only be able to use 20 of their reserved 80 ports (a
shortage of 60 ports). Users expecting their reserved ports to be available will not get them.
Organization audio port limits
You must first enable the ability to allocate audio ports for an organization by checking the
box next to the Allocate Audio Ports per Organization field on the System Options
page. Checking this field will inactivate (grey out) the fields for server audio port limits
because they are not connected to one another.
After enabling ports to be allocated per organization, you will need to go to
Provisioning–>Organizations–>Settings to allocate ports for each organization.
There are two fields on the Settings page that are used to set port limits for an
organization.
Scheduled Conference Port Limits
Adhoc/Reservationless Conference Port Limits
These fields behave in the same manner as the corresponding server audio port limit fields
described above in “Server audio port limits” (p. 2-18), except the allocated ports are
specified for an organization rather than a server.
