Collaboration Meeting Room resource consumption
When you provision a CMR on TelePresence Conductor using Cisco TMSPE, TelePresence Conductor
reserves the resources for one participant with the defined quality level. When participants dial into the CMR
and resource optimization is enabled, TelePresence Conductor optimizes the resources so that only the
resources that are required are used on the conference bridge.

and resource optimization is enabled, TelePresence Conductor optimizes the resources so that only the
resources that are required are used on the conference bridge.
However, the resources that were previously reserved are not freed up completely. The resources can be
used by additional participants dialing into the same CMR. But the reserved resources cannot be used for
other conferences. The conference bridge utilization on TelePresence Conductor shows the number of
resources reserved if this number is higher than the number of resources used.
