Description
Unique name that identifies the conference within RMX Manager.
If left blank, the MCU automatically generates a Display Name for the conference,
which can then be modified.
The maximum field length for the Display Name is approximately:
• 80 ASCII characters
• 40 European or Latin text characters
• 25 Asian text characters
Do not use comma or semi-colon characters in this field.
Identifies the duration of the conference in HH:MM format.
Displayed in the New Conference dialog only. Enable this option to create this
conference as a standard recurring conference.
Unique name with which the MCU registers the conference with network devices such
as gatekeepers and SIP servers.
If left blank, the MCU automatically generates a Routing Name. Because this name
must be ASCII characters, the MCU defines the name as follows:
• If ASCII characters are entered as the Display Name, it is used also as the Routing
Name
• If a combination of Unicode and ASCII characters (or full Unicode text) is entered as
the Display Name, the ID (such as Conference ID) is used as the Routing Name.
Polycom recommends you allow the MCU to assign the Routing Name automatically
Choose the pre-defined conference profile that best identifies the conferencing mode,
line rate, media settings and general settings suitable for your conferencing
environment. For a detailed description of Conference Profiles, see
Profiles and Templates .
Unique ID number for the conference on the MCU. If left blank, the MCU automatically
assigns an ID number once the conference starts. Polycom recommends you allow the
MCU to assign the Routing Name automatically.
Communicate this conference ID to dial-in participants to enable them to dial in to the
conference.
Note: If setting the Conference ID to the digits that are used for MCU prefix in
Gatekeeper (for example gatekeeper prefix is set to 10 and the conference ID is 1001),
the system will not be able to dial to the destination conference as the prefix digits are
truncated from the conference ID, preventing the system from locating it.
Password that participants must enter to join the conference. If left blank, participants
are not required to enter a password to join the conference.
This password is valid only in conferences that are configured to prompt for a
conference password.
By default, this password is 4 numeric characters. The administrator can modify
requirements for this field. For more information, see
The MCU can be configured to automatically generate this password when this field is
left blank. For more information, see
