Introduction

Polycom MGC Personal Scheduler is designed for scheduling audio and

video conferences on the MCU directly from the Microsoft Outlook®

application.

Using the standard Microsoft Outlook conventions, the user schedules the

conference start date and time, conference duration, and invites other

participants from their Microsoft Outlook Calendar.

MGC Personal Scheduler is a plug-in to the users’ Outlook Client

application. The plug-in communicates with the MGC Personal Scheduler

Server (MGC Web Server Manager), which reserves the conference on an

MGC unit.

For more details on using the MGC Personal Scheduler with the MGC

WebCommander application, refer to the MGC WebCommander Web Server

Manager - Installation and Configuration Guide, Version 8.0.

Chapter 1 - Introduction

1-2

The MGC Personal Scheduler is configured by an Administrator who

e-mails the Personal Scheduler application to end-users or use the automatic

Client installation. The installation of the client software is automatic -

allowing Personal Scheduler to seamlessly interface with the end-users’

Microsoft Outlook application.

Once the user schedules the conference in Microsoft Outlook, it is submitted

to the Personal Scheduler Server for MCU resource availability. An accept/

reject notification box opens, notifying the conference organizer if the

conference has been successfully reserved on the MCU. The conference is

rejected by the MCU when resources are insufficient to run the conference at

the requested date and time (or dates and times if a recurring conference). If

the conference is accepted, a signature is added to the conference e-mail,

including various conference parameters required to start the conference, such

as the conference name (for IP and ISDN conferences), password (if

applicable), and the dial-in number (for IP and ISDN conferences). Users can

modify the conference date, time, duration and add/delete participants using

the standard Microsoft Outlook conventions.

Users who have Polycom WebCommander can monitor conferences reserved

via Personal Scheduler on the WebCommander Web site. For users who have

Polycom WebOffice, Personal Scheduler enables a WebOffice user’s to

schedule a meeting/conference.

Personal Scheduler Client application by e-mail or can use the automatic

Client installation. The Personal Scheduler client is automatically installed

when the end-user runs (double-clicks) the attachment. For more

information, see “MGC Personal Scheduler Software Installation” on

page 2-2.

Chapter 2 - Installation and Configuration

2-2

MGC Personal Scheduler Software Installation

The Administrator has the option to automatically deploy the Personal

Scheduler Client by installing the Client automatically or enable user to

manually install the Client on the hard disk. The Administrator of MGC

Personal Scheduler Client can enable the user to install the Client in one of

two ways:

•Attach the ClientInstall Version 8.0 folder in an E-mail enabling the

user to save the folder to disk. The user then installs MGC Personal

Scheduler by double clicking setup.exe icon in the folder. For further

information, “Deploying the Client Application” on page 2-2.

•Alternatively, send the link of a folder located on the network in an E-

mail. To install Personal Scheduler, the user double-click’s the setup.exe

icon.

When the MGC Personal Scheduler is configured by the administrator,

the Client application is deployed on the network by sending out an e-

mail with an shortcut as an attachment. Users open this self-extracting

file which automatically installs the MGC Personal Scheduler on their

computer. The Installation Wizard guides you through the installation

process of the Personal Scheduler software.

Deploying the Client Application

After Personal Scheduler is configured by the Administrator, the Client

application is deployed by sending out an e-mail with an attached shortcut.

End-users open this self-extracting file which automatically installs Personal

Scheduler on their computers.

To e-mail the Client application shortcut:

1. Create a new e-mail message.

The New E-mail Message window opens.

In version 8.0 the Visual Configuration file is automatically backed up. This

allows you to re-install the MGC Personal Scheduler without losing your

configurations. It is recommended to close Microsoft Outlook during the Client

installation. The MGCScheduler.oft file is automatically backed up in the

CustomizeMGCSchedule.oft file located in the ClientInstall folder. If Personal

Scheduler is installed as part of the Polycom WebCommander package, the

WebCommander server requirements must also be met. For more information,

see the MGC Web Server Manager Installation and Configuration Guide.
