Software Conference Bridge Configuration Settings
Conference Bridge for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, a software or hardware application,
allows both ad hoc and meet-me voice conferencing. Each conference bridge can host several
simultaneous, multiparty conferences.
Be aware that both hardware and software conference bridges can be active at the same time. Software
and hardware conference devices differ in the number of streams and the types of codec that they
support.
You cannot add software conference bridges to Cisco Unified Communications Manager by using
Conference Bridge Configuration. Software conference bridges automatically get added when a Cisco
Unified Communications Manager server gets added (see the
“Configuring a Server” section on page 2-5
for more information). After a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server gets added, the software
conference bridge gets displayed in the Find/List Conference Bridges window (by default, the first
software conference bridge gets configured during Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation)
when you perform a search. You can update software conference bridges, but you cannot delete them.
