polling intervals
A user can start a scheduled meeting or an unscheduled ad hoc meeting when he or she logs into a
room resource computer. Depending on the availability of the room resource, meetings can be started
automatically or manually. To enable this, SMARTMeetingPro software polls the Microsoft
Exchange Server that it’s integrated with to retrieve the logged in user's calendar and the times that a
room is booked.
SMARTMeetingPro software polls the Microsoft Exchange server at the following intervals:
l When SMARTMeetingPro software starts.
l Every 10 seconds for the first five minutes after the start of a meeting (to enable meeting rooms
to automatically join a Bridgit meeting).
l Once every minute after the first five minutes of a meeting (to ensure that a user can extend a
meeting only if the room is available beyond the scheduled meeting).
l When a different user logs into the room resource computer with his or her network credentials.

See the SMARTMeetingPro software online Help for more details on extending a meeting and
adding other meeting rooms to a scheduled meeting.
N OT E
SMARTMeetingPro software polls the Microsoft Exchange Server only for the time stamp that
records the last time a user or room calendar was changed. If the time stamp received from the
server is later than the time stamp saved by SMARTMeetingPro software, then
SMARTMeetingPro software will access the room or user calendar (or both). By using this polling
rate, SMARTMeetingPro software significantly reduces the load on the Microsoft Exchange
Server.
