Field	Description
ID	Enter the unique-per-MCU conference ID. If left blank, the MCU automatically assigns
	a number once the conference is launched.
	This ID must be communicated to conference participants to enable them to dial in to
	the conference.
	Note: If setting the Conference ID to the digits that are used for MCU prefix in
	Gatekeeper (for example gatekeeper prefix is set to 10 and the conference ID is 1001),
	the system will not be able to dial to the destination conference as the prefix digits are
	truncated from the conference ID, preventing the system from locating it.

	default SIP Factory ID.
