Pooled (DMA) Conference Templates Understanding Conference Templates and Settings
Polycom, Inc. 439
Use these best practices when working with conference templates.
• For the Default Template, select settings that are the lowest common
values for all device types. This ensures that all conferences scheduled
with the Default Template can successfully launch on whatever devices
the system has available at the time.
• The template names Default Template and Default Audio Templates are
stored in the system database and their names are not localized into other
languages. If you wish to localized their names into your language, edit
the templates and enter new names for them.
• When creating new templates, give them meaningful purposes and names
so that your users can easily identify the differences between template
choices. For example, identify templates according to maximum bit rate,
specific features implemented by the template (for example, Lecture Mode
or Chairperson Control).
• Remember that using an existing RMX system profile will override
settings specified when scheduling a conference through the Polycom
Resource Manager system. To ensure consistent and expected behavior,
make sure to synchronize and lock down RMX profiles and Polycom
Resource Manager system conference templates.
Pooled (DMA) Conference Templates
Both Pooled Conferences and Anytime Conferences are enabled when your
RealPresence Resource Manager system is integrated with a Polycom DMA
system. These conference types use conference templates that are created and
managed in the Polycom DMA system.

Multi-Tenancy Consideration
If your RealPresence Resource Manager system has areas enabled, be sure to
give your area-specific names to your templates. This is particular helpful if you
have schedulers who have been given permission to manage more than one
area.
The RealPresence Resource Manager systems does not support scheduling
direct conferences on third-party MCUs. Template settings apply only to the
RMX devices.
