Conference Templates

Conference Templates enable administrators and operators to create, save, schedule and activate identical conferences.

A Conference Template:

Saves the conference Profile.

Saves all participant parameters including their Personal Layout and Video Forcing settings.

Simplifies the setting up Telepresence conferences where precise participant layout and video forcing settings are crucial.

Guidelines

The maximum number of templates is:

RMX 2000 — 100

RMX 4000 — 200

A maximum of 200 participants can be saved in a Conference Template when the RMX is in MPM+ mode. When the RMX is in MPM (RMX 2000) mode, the maximum is 80 participants.

If the RMX is switched to from MPM+ mode to MPM (RMX 2000) mode, conference templates may include more participants than the allowed maximum in MPM mode.

Trying to start a Conference Template that exceeds the allowed maximum number of participants will result in participants being disconnected due to resource deficiency.

If the Profile assigned to a conference is deleted while the conference is ongoing the conference cannot be saved as a template.

A Profile assigned to a Conference Template cannot be deleted. The system does not permit such a deletion.

Profile parameters are not embedded in the Conference Template, and are taken from the Profile when the Conference Template becomes an ongoing conference. Therefore, any changes to the Profile parameters
