Conference Setup Overview

This chapter describes information about conference templates, options, and settings within the Polycom® Converged Management Application™ (CMA®) system. Two types of configuration settings relate to scheduled conferences:

•Conference Templates define most of the settings that become the defaults for a conference.

•Conference Settings are global system-wide settings that apply to all scheduled conferences.

Conference Templates

Conference templates allow you to create various combinations of settings to apply to scheduled conferences.

•For scheduled conferences that end on MGC devices, the conference template explicitly identifies the settings the MGC should use to control the conference.

•For scheduled conferences that end on RMX devices, the conference template explicitly identifies the RMX profile which identifies the settings the RMX should use to control the conference.

Users assigned the Administrator role can add or edit Conference Templates. They can also identify (by user role) which users have access to which Conference Templates and which users have the Advanced Scheduler role. Then users select from the different templates available to them to switch between different combinations of conference settings.

If using an existing profile on the RMX system, the CMA system administrator must manually synchronize the settings in the CMA system conference template and its associated RMX profile.

Alternatively, you can configure the RMX profile settings in the CMA system conference template, which is used by all RMX systems in the conference. For more information about the RMX profile settings, see the Polycom® RMX®
