Templates are collections of advanced conference settings. When you are scheduling
a conference and open the Advanced Settings dialog box for the first time, your default
template is always selected, and the values in the Advanced Settings dialog reflect the
settings associated with that template.
You may have only one template available in Advanced Settings, or your network
administrator may have created multiple templates to adjust the Advanced Settings in
different ways.
If you select a different template from the list, it will adjust the values throughout the
Advanced Settings dialog. If desired, you can then make additional adjustments to
fine-tune the settings for this conference.
You can specify the type of conference this will be:
Rooms Only
Bridged Audio Only
Video/Audio
Select Rooms Only when you only want to reserve the rooms themselves. Although
equipment in them will not be available to other people, no bandwidth will be reserved
for the conference. All other Advanced Settings for the conference become irrelevant,
and are grayed out in the dialog box.
Any conference that uses third-party audio conference systems (outside the control of
the enterprise) can use this setting and then simply use the conference phone in the
room to dial into the third-party conference line.
Select Bridged Audio Only when you want to set up a dial-in conference into which
multiple people can dial. The bridge is reserved as an audio-only media, with no video
media. Choosing this conference type automatically selects the Dial In Only and Force
MCU Usage options. This means that an MCU's resources will be reserved and used
to create a dial-in conference. After you create the conference, the conference
confirmation email you receive will include the dial-in number and pin code required to
access it.
With this type of conference, no bandwidth is reserved except the MCU. The rooms
associated with the resources are reserved, so any equipment in those rooms will not
be available to other people. This also does not reserve precious video resources on
the MCU that would otherwise be reserved for a mixed audio/video call.
