Tips About Configuring Meet-Me Numbers/Patterns Make sure that the following prerequisites are met before you configure Meet-Me numbers/patterns: • Configure the server(s). See the “Server Configuration” section on page 2-1. • Configure the device pools. See the “Device Pool Configuration” section on page 8-1. Using the GUI For instructions on how to use the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Graphical User Interface (GUI) to find, delete, configure, or copy records, see the “Navigating the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Application” section on page 1-13 and its subsections, which explain how to use the GUI and detail the functions of the buttons and icons. Configuration Settings Table Table 44-1 describes the meet-me number/pattern configuration settings. For related procedures, see the “Related Topics” section on page 44-2. Table 44-1 Field Meet-Me Number/Pattern Configuration Settings Description Directory Number Enter a Meet-Me Numbers/pattern or a range of numbers. or Pattern To configure a range, the dash must appear within brackets and follow a digit; for example, to configure the range 1000 to 1050, enter 10[0-5]0.

Partition To use a partition to restrict access to the meet-me/number pattern, choose the desired partition from the drop-down list box. If you do not want to restrict access to the meet-me number/pattern, choose <None> for the partition. See the “Partition Configuration” section on page 40-1 for more information. You can configure the number of partitions that display in this drop-down list box by using the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter. If more partitions exist than the Max List Box Items enterprise parameter specifies, the Find button displays next to the drop-down list box. Click the Find button to display the Find and List Partitions window. Find and choose a partition name by using the procedure in the “Searching for a Partition” section on page 40-4. Note To set the maximum list box items, choose System > Enterprise Parameters and update the Max List Box Items field under CCMAdmin Parameters. Note Make sure that the combination of meet-me number/pattern and partition is unique within the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
