Conference Manager Configuration
Polycom, Inc. 186
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
Maximum generated room ID
Specify the minimum and maximum values for auto-generated room IDs
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
namespace
In an Assured Services SIP (AS-SIP) environment, a Local Session Controller
(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.
