template determines the address pattern and available parameters for each user's CMR.

Applies required template to groups. You can only apply one template per group.
When notified by the administrator that the CMR service is available, each user can initiate the creation of their own CMR
on their TelePresence User Portal page. Depending on the CMR template, this creates an alphanumeric and/or a
numeric video address for each user's CMR on TelePresence Conductor.

The CMR is now permanently available and can be accessed at any time.
Differences from TelePresence Conductor-created Conferences
A CMR is a conference on TelePresence Conductor that has been created by Cisco TMSPE.
A CMR template in Cisco TMSPE corresponds to a conference template
and a conference alias on TelePresence
Conductor.
Beware that:
■
Collaboration Meeting Room created using Cisco TMSPE cannot be modified in TelePresence Conductor.
■
Conferences templates and aliases created in TelePresence Conductor cannot be modified in Cisco TMSPE.
■
The "lecture" conference type is not supported with Collaboration Meeting Rooms.
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.
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.
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.
