Add A New Conference Template - Polycom RealPresence 1800 Administration Manual

Add a New Conference Template

Create conference templates to start and replicate successful conferences. Conference templates:
● Identify the desired conference profile (and thus, parameters) for a conference
● Identify that participants and participant parameters (including their personal layout and video forcing
settings) for a conference
● Simplify the setup of telepresence conferences, where precise participant layout and video forcing
settings are crucial.
To add a new conference template:
1 In RMX Manager, click Conference Templates.
2 Click New Conference Template (
3 In the General tab:
a In the Display Name field, enter the new template name.
b Specify the duration of the conference in hours and minutes and enable Permanent Conference
to create a standard recurring conference.
c Assign a Routing Name and ID or allow the system to assign them automatically.
d Select the required Profile.
e As required, assign a Conference Password that users must enter to join the conference or a
Chairperson Password that the chairperson must enter to take on the chairperson
responsibilities.
4 Go to the Participants section and:
a Click Add from Address Book, select the required groups and participants, and click Add
or
b Click New and enter the required information for the new participant, and click Add.
5 To assign a lecturer for Lecture Mode conferences, select a Lecturer from the participant's list, and
if required enable Dial Out Manually so the MCU can initiate the dial out.
Dial-out and dial-in participants are two separate participants even if they have the same IP
address/number; therefore, if a dial-out participant is added to the conference, but that participant
dials in before the MCU dials out to him, the MCU creates a second participant in the Participants
list and still attempts to dial out to the participant. If the dial-out participant was designated as the
conference lecturer, the MCU cannot replace that participant with the dial-in participant that is
connected to the conference.
