Conference Types
This section describes the different types of conferences the system manages.
This includes:
• Future and Anytime Conferences
• Direct and Pooled Conferences
Future and Anytime Conferences
When you are scheduling conferences using the RealPresence Resource
Manager system, you can add two types of conferences:
•Future—Conferences that begin immediately or sometime in the future.
These conferences have start and end times and can be recurring. Once
you have selected a future conference type, next you decide whether you
want to create a Direct Conference or a Pooled Conference.
•Anytime — Ad hoc conferences that do not have designated start and end
times. These conferences are not recurring. To be able to add Anytime
conferences, the RealPresence Resource Manager system must be
connected to a Polycom DMA system. For more information, see Schedule
Anytime Conferences.
