Cisco Video 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.
Before you configure a conference bridge, configure the device pools. See the “Deleting a Device Pool”
section on page 9-13.
Refer to the “Conference Bridges” chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide
for more information about conference bridges.
Table 73-4 describes the Cisco video conference bridge configuration settings. For related procedures,
