The Conference Profile includes the conferencing mode, conference line rate, media

ID
Enter the unique-per-MCU conference ID. If left blank, the MCU automatically assigns
a number once the conference is launched.
This ID must be communicated to conference participants to enable them to dial in to
the conference.
Note: If setting the Conference ID to the digits that are used for MCU prefix in
Gatekeeper (for example gatekeeper prefix is set to 10 and the conference ID is 1001),
the system will not be able to dial to the destination conference as the prefix digits are
truncated from the conference ID, preventing the system from locating it.
Note: If SIP Factories are used do not use the number 7001 as an ID. 7001 is the
default SIP Factory ID.

password is assigned to the conference.
This password is valid only in conferences that are configured to prompt for a
conference password.
