Conference 
Duration
Maximum duration of a conference (in hours and minutes) or 
Unlimited (the maximum in this case depends on the MCU). 
If not selected, the room uses the longest duration 
associated with any group to which the user belongs, or if 
none, the system’s default maximum duration. See 
“Conference Settings” on page 177. 
Calendar Event  This section appears only for calendared meeting (Polycom 
Conferencing for Outlook) conference rooms. It shows the 
following (read-only): 
•Start time and date (from the meeting invitation). 
•Expiration date. The conference room is deleted from the 
system after this date. 
Dial-out Presets  If selected, this conference room is for a preset dial-out 
conference, referred to in the Polycom RealPresence 
Resource Manager system as an Anytime conference. When 
someone dials in and starts a conference, the system dials 
out to entries in the Dial-out Participants list. 
Clearing this check box lets you turn off the automatic 
dial-out temporarily without losing the configuration data. 
Note: To prevent unauthorized persons from being able to 
trigger the dial-out, be sure that you: 
•Set Conference template to a template that requires a 
chairperson to start the conference (see “Edit 
Conference Template Dialog Box” on page193). 
•Specify a chairperson passcode for this conference room 
or this user (see “Edit User Dialog Box” on page 300). 
For further security and to prevent lines from being placed 
into conference without a human answering the call, specify 
a conference passcode as well so the called participants are 
prompted to enter it before being placed into conference. 
Note: The Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager 
system doesn’t support the use of conference passcodes for 
Anytime conferences, only for scheduled conferences. 
Note: Dial-outs to endpoints with call forwarding set are not 
forwarded.
