[cisco-voip] Webex Control Hub and Room Kit Mailboxes

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

AH. Sorry – I see what you were saying now. All the room device does is monitor the mailbox, not checking for conflicts. It’s let’s the mailbox itself do the checking, accepting, etc.

Gotcha. I read what you said incorrectly.

So that still makes sense though.  The room resource still has to accept the meeting before it is on the calendar that the endpoint is monitoring.

Yup – cloud registered device. Associated to a place. Place being the pre-existing room resource.

If you want to know the exact scenario:

I was all excited to show my boss how easy the meeting list display and one button to push was.

I invited the room, clicked send, then walked over and said … “WATCH THIS!”

And nothing happened.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

He laughed. Great.

So, yeah, the list will not be updated and obtp will not be available until the actual room resource itself accepts the meeting.

Was this with cloud-registered RoomKit?  I don't think it does any checking itself that I'm aware of but maybe I've never tested that scenario.

Ok – I’m gonna say that might be wrong (shudders behind corner)

In my test, if the room was already in a meeting and I sent an invite, the invite was not accepted automatically and the meeting did not show.

Pretty sure the room kit does some checking.

Jonathan,

The Room Kit doesn't really care about that piece.  It just monitors the mailbox for any meetings and displays them on the Touch10.  It's never doing any sort of checking.

My fear is that the room will show as occupied and deny the request.... (i.e. the physical room accepts it and the room kit sees it as now in use...)

Webex doesn't respond to the invites.  All it does is monitor the Room Resource mailbox.  So you can just use the same and it will look for any meetings on the calendar.  O365/Exchange should be the side setup to auto-respond to the invites.

Customer asked a question and I am curious what best practices are...

Customer has room resources in O365 and is adding video systems to those rooms...

Should the video units get a separate calendar room room resource, or should it share the same room resource email ID in Webex Control Hub?

My concern is the two entities (room and room kit) responding to the invite and causing some conflict.

If we use two different room resource mailboxes, users would invite one and not the other...

What are the best practices here?
