Start a New Conference Using a Default Profile
Your RealPresence Collaboration Server comes with default conference profiles, allowing you to
immediately start conferences.
Predefined conference profiles are:
• Factory_Video_Profile
:
Immediately start standard ongoing AVC CP only conferences.
• Factory_SVC_Video_Profile
:
Immediately start standard ongoing SVC Only conferences
• Factory_Mix_Video_Profile
:
Immediately start a standard ongoing mixed AVC CP and SVC
conference.
Note: More options available to set up and dial in to a conference
You can set up a conference in many ways, such as using your own profiles, meeting rooms, entry
queues, and reservations. The dialing strings vary per the conferencing methods, conferencing
network, and participant end point types.
For more information, refer to your system's Administrator Guide.
