Setting Up Conference Templates

Note: If conference messages appear in recipients' email messages without the Accept and
Decline buttons and with text that looks confusing, your server may not set have ICAL
support enabled. Check with your IT administrator.
ICAL requires a POP3 type environment. If you are using Enterprise Workgroup Outlook
instead of POP3, your users will not be able to receive messages in ICAL format when they
originated through the Polycom ReadiManager LX100 Web interface. In this case, you
should disable ICAL for the domains.
You can use Conference Setting Templates to define a number of settings which will
become the defaults for a conference. Many of these settings determine the settings to
be used when an MGC controls the conference, such as speed, video mode, audio and
video algorithms, entry and edit tones, dial options, whether to force use of an MCU,
and whether to auto-start a conference. (A complete list of settings that can be defined
in a Conference Setting template is provided under
Template Form on page 17.)
When you first install
Polycom ReadiManager LX100
You can customize this template and you can create additional templates with different
settings.
Many of the individual settings defined by the template can be overridden for a
particular conference by entering a change in the Advanced Settings dialog box in the
Conference window. (Users must have permissions to change Advanced Settings in
order to be able to see and change these settings.) If additional Conference Setting
templates are available for that domain, those templates will be available in a
drop-down list at the top of the Advanced Settings dialog box, making it easy for a user
to change a number of settings at once by selecting another template.
In the domain record, you can specify the default Conference Setting template.
You can also assign a Conference Setting template to an individual user. By default,
users are assigned to the default template set for the domain; you can select another,
if you prefer. Users who have permission to view and change advanced settings when
creating and working with conferences can also change their default template by
selecting another in the Advanced Settings dialog box. (For details, see
Advanced Settings on page 162.) If the user does not have privileges to open the
Advanced Settings dialog, either the default template for the domain or the default
template for the user will determine the settings used in the conference.
When a conference is started, MGC-specific settings from the Conference Setting
template are sent to the MGC. If the MCU is not a Polycom MGC, some of these
settings do not apply and are ignored by Polycom ReadiManager LX100.
