CS_ENABLE_EPC Flag

Endpoints that support People+Content may require a different signaling (for example, FX endpoints). For
these endpoints, manually add the flag CS_ENABLE_EPC with the value YES (default value is NO) to the
CS_MODULE_PARAMETERS tab.

Automatic Password Generation Flags

The Collaboration Server can be configured to automatically generate conference and chairperson
passwords when the Conference Password and Chairperson Password fields are left blank.
Guidelines
● If the flag HIDE_CONFERENCE_PASSWORD is set to YES, the automatic generation of passwords
(both conference and chairperson passwords) is disabled, regardless of the settings of the flags
NUMERIC_CONF_PASS_DEFAULT_LEN and NUMERIC_CHAIR_PASS_ DEFAULT _LEN.
● The automatic generation of conference passwords is enabled/disabled by the flag
NUMERIC_CONF_PASS_DEFAULT_LEN.
● The automatic generation of chairperson passwords is enabled/disabled by the flag
NUMERIC_CHAIR_PASS_ DEFAULT _LEN.
● The automatically generated passwords will be numeric and random.
● The passwords are automatically assigned to ongoing conferences, Reservations, and Meeting
Rooms at the end of the creation process (once they are added to the Collaboration Server).
● Automatically assigned passwords can be manually changed through the Conference/Meeting
Room/Reservation Properties dialog boxes.
● Deleting an automatically created password will not cause the system to generate a new password
and the new password must be added manually or the field can be left blank.
● If a password was assigned to the conference via Microsoft Outlook using the PCO add-in, the
system does not change these passwords and additional passwords will not be generated (for
example, if only the conference password was assigned a chairperson password will not be
assigned).
● If the flag values (i.e. the password lengths) are changed, passwords that were already assigned to
conferences, Reservations, and Meeting Rooms will not change and they can be activated using the
existing passwords. Only new conferencing entities will be affected by the change.
Do not enable this option in an environment that includes a Polycom DMA system.
