AltiWare ACC 5.1 Administration Manual

To set the codec for a connection among AltiGateways in the same 

AltiWare server

1. Select a server in the Global Server Location list on the left side of the window.
2. In the Codec field, select the codec to use for a connection to this server from the 

drop-down list.

Defining IP Networks

If your server is behind NAT or you need to regulate WAN VoIP sessions, you need to do 
some configuring on the IP Networks tab in AltiEnterprise Manager.
The tab allows you to specify the following three items for a single server or for member 
servers in the VoIP domain:

•

How many VoIP sessions to allow through Public Pipe

•

How many VoIP sessions to allow through Intranet Pipe

•

NAT support when the server is behind a NAT router

The Public Pipe is the WAN connection to the public Internet, including IP-VPN over 
WAN.
The Intranet Pipe is the enterprise WAN connection, for example, Frame Relay.

Note:

The VoIP connections through public or enterprise WAN will work without 
configuring the IP Networks tab. However, if the total number of VoIP 
connections exceeds the WAN bandwidth, the voice quality will be affected for all 
connections. It is recommended that you set a limit based on the WAN bandwidth 
to ensure the voice quality.

To configure IP networks, click the IP Networks tab.
