Table 73-1 Software Conference Bridge Configuration Settings
Field Description
Conference Bridge Type This field automatically displays Cisco Conference Bridge Software.
Host Server This field automatically displays the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager server for this software conference bridge.
Conference Bridge Name This field automatically displays the software conference bridge name.
The format of the name specifies CFB_ followed by a digit that
represents the value of the software conference bridge; for example,
CFB_3 represents the third conference bridge in the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager system.
Description This field automatically displays a description, but the administrator can
update this field.
Device Pool Choose a device pool that has the highest priority within the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager group that you are using or choose
Default.
Common Device
Configuration
Choose the common device configuration to assign to the conference
bridge. The common device configuration includes attributes, such as
MOH audio source, that support features and services for phone users.
Device configurations that are configured in the Common Device
Configuration window display in the drop-down list. See
Common
Device Configuration for more information.
Location Use locations to implement call admission control (CAC) in a
centralized call-processing system. CAC enables you to regulate audio
quality and video availability by limiting the amount of bandwidth that
is available for audio and video calls over links between locations. The
location specifies the total bandwidth that is available for calls to and
from this location.
From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate location for this
conference bridge.
A location setting of Hub_None means that the locations feature does
not keep track of the bandwidth that this conference bridge consumes. A
location setting of Phantom specifies a location that enables successful
CAC across intercluster trunks that use H.323 protocol or SIP.
To configure a new location, use the System > Location menu option.
For more details about locations, see the “Location Configuration”
section on page 17-1. For an explanation of location-based CAC across
intercluster trunks, see “Location-Based Call Admission Control Over
Intercluster Trunk” in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
System Guide.
