Line rate The maximum bit rate at which endpoints can connect
to conferences using this template.
If Video switching is selected, the lowest line rate
available depends on the Resolution setting chosen.
Encryption Specifies the media encryption setting for conferences
using this template:
• No encryption — All endpoints join unencrypted.
• Encrypt when possible — Endpoints supporting
encryption join encrypted; others join unencrypted.
• Encrypt all — Endpoints supporting encryption join
encrypted; others can’t join.
Note: Prior to v7.2, RMX MCUs supported only
encryption settings of On and Off. If an RMX running an
older version is selected for a conference, the settings
Encrypt when possible or Encrypt all are both converted
to On.
Consult the Polycom RMX 1500/2000/4000
Administrator’s Guide for the version in question for
detailed information about media encryption.
LPR Enables Lost Packet Recovery for conferences using
this template. LPR creates additional packets containing
recovery information that can be used to reconstruct
packets lost during transmission.

Interoperability Protocol, either for video only or for both
video and content. Conferences can include both
endpoints that don't support TIP and Cisco
TelePresence® System (CTS) endpoints.
