Conference Manager Configuration

Field

Description

 

 

Dialing prefix

Numeric dial string prefix for calling VMRs and VEQs.

 

If neighboring with a Polycom gatekeeper on which the Simplified Dialing

 

service is enabled and uses a prefix of 9 (the default), don’t use 90-99. The

 

neighbor gatekeeper recognizes the 9 as a known prefix and ignores the

 

second digit.

 

If a prefix is specified, it’s used for SIP calls as well so that the same number

 

can be dialed from both H.323 and SIP endpoints.

 

Caution: Changing the dialing prefix terminates any existing H.323 calls.

 

When you click Update, the system prompts you to confirm.

 

 

Default max total participants

Specifies the maximum conference size assigned to a conference room if a

 

larger or smaller maximum size isn’t specified for it.

 

Automatic (the default setting) uses the largest conference size supported by

 

the MCU (or by all available MCUs if cascading is enabled) as the default

 

maximum.

 

 

Default conference template

Default template used by the system. See Conference Templates on

 

page 190.

 

 

Default conference room territory

The territory assigned to a user’s conference room if it isn’t specified at the

 

user or conference room level.

 

A conference room’s territory assignment determines which RealPresence

 

DMA cluster hosts the conference (the primary cluster for the territory, or its

 

backup cluster if necessary). Up to three territories in a superclustered system

 

can host conference rooms.

 

 

Default MCU pool order

Default MCU pool order used by the system. See MCU Pool Orders on

 

page 145.

 

 

MCU Selection

The method for the RealPresence DMA system to use when it selects MCUs

 

from MCU pools:

 

Prefer MCU in first MCU pool ensures that the DMA system will always route

 

the call to the first available MCU in the first MCU pool. If no MCU is available,

 

the second MCU pool will be searched for an available MCU, and so on.

 

Prefer MCU in first caller’s site will match the MCU chosen for the call with

 

the site that the first caller’s endpoint belongs to.

 

 

Minimum generated room ID

Specify the minimum and maximum values for auto-generated room IDs

Maximum generated room ID

created for custom conference rooms. Values may be up to six digits long, and

 

the minimum must be less than the maximum.

 

The six-digit limit applies only to generated IDs for custom conference rooms.

 

 

Default resource priority

In an Assured Services SIP (AS-SIP) environment, a Local Session Controller

namespace

(LSC) can provide priority-based precedence and preemption services to

 

ensure that the most important calls get through. If your organization has

 

implemented such a resource prioritization mechanism, set this to the

 

namespace being used for resource priority values. If the namespace being

 

used isn’t listed, select Custom and enter the name in the box to the right of

 

the list.
