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.
1-1
Chapter 1 - Introduction
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.

Chapter 2 - Installation and Configuration
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.
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.
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.

Managing Conferences
The MGC Personal Scheduler is used by end-users to schedule and reserve
audio and video conferences on the MCU via Microsoft Outlook.
Conferences are reserved using the Polycom Office Appointment or the
Polycom Office Meeting option.
When you create a meeting, you identify the people to invite and you send
them an e-mail invitation. The e-mail includes various conference
parameters required to start the conference, such as the conference name,
password (if applicable), and the dial-in number. When the invitee responses
to your meeting request, a message appears in your OutLook - Inbox folder.
The conferencing meetings can be recurring; appointments that repeat on a
regular basis. Conferences can also be modify and cancelled.
