    Note: Executive port settings are disregarded when Port Reservations are enabled.

    User Login Timeout Type the period of time of user inactivity before a browser session with the server is automatically terminated. Because a session may remain open during a conference call, and because that session may be used for call control at some point well after that call has started, this should be set long enough so that users will not be logged out during a call.

    Email Admin informing when the AWV disk space utilized reaches % of XX GB

    This option allows the administrator to be notified by email when the MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing server disk space reaches xx% utilization. This option is checked (enabled) by default with a value of 80%. The administrator also has the option of disabling this option.

    Note: The disk space allocated to the MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing conference recordings and documents is 40% of the total available disk space on the MiCollab / MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing server. The 40% of the entire disk space is determined when the page loads.

    For example, on a system with 100GB disk space, the option will read "Email Admin informing when the MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing disk space utilized reaches _________ % of the 40GB alloted to recordings and documents".

    Auto Disconnect in When selected, all participants on the conference call are disconnected from the call after the leader has left the conference. The options are 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes after the leader leaves the call.

The value selected in this box determines the number of minutes prior to the end of a conference that the user receives a prompt to extend the conference or it will end at the scheduled time.
    Allow users to publish conference only with password

    When enabled, this setting requires users to assign password protection to published conferences. By default, this option is enabled.

    Caution: When a password is not set for a published conference, the conference and any documents or recording associated with the conference are vulnerable to unauthorized access.

    Note that the following behaviors apply:

    • This setting applies to all types of Audio, Web and Video published conferences.

    • If you disable this setting, users will not be required to assign password protection to published conferences. In addition, users can remove password protection from any of their existing published conferences.

    • After you disable this setting, the user interface does not warn users of the risks associated with publishing unprotected conferences.

    • If you disable and then enable this setting, any conferences that were published without a password remain unprotected. However, if the user subsequently saves changes to an unprotected conference, the user will then be required to assign a password.

    • You can remove conferences that have been published without a password from the public domain. Under Monitoring, click Manage Published Data and then click Unpublish All.
