Personal Conference Manager (PCM)

Guidelines

The Personal Conference Manager (PCM) interface enables the conference
chairperson to control various conference features using his/her
endpoint's remote control device.
The following conference operations can be performed:
• Initiate Polycom's Click&View™ application to change the local
screen layout.
• Invite a participant to connect to the conference.
• View and control the audio and video of each connected endpoint.
• Camera Control - control the camera of a remote endpoint using
(FECC).
• Control the camera of a connected endpoint.
• Video Force a specific participant to a specific window of the video
layout.
• Initiate and control recording of the conference.
• Disconnect a participant.
• Terminate the conference.
• PCM is supported with MPM+ and MPMx cards.
• PCM is supported in H.323, SIP, and H.320 network environments.
• PCM is only available in CP conferences.
• Although the RMX can host up to a maximum of 800 conferences
(depending on the RMX model) PCM can only be activated from 4
conferences per MPM+ or MPMx card.
— An RMX 2000 with 2 MPM+ or 2 MPMx cards installed can host
a total of 8 PCM sessions while an RMX 4000 with 4 MPM+ or 4
MPMx cards installed can host a total of 16 PCM sessions.
— If 4 PCM sessions are active on an MPM+ /MPMx card and a
chairperson of another conference, hosted on the same MPM+/
MPMx card, attempts to start an additional PCM session, a
message is displayed indicating that the requested PCM session
cannot be activated because the maximum number of concurrent
PCM sessions are already activated. FECC is then activated.
