Avaya Video Communications Systems Administrator Guide
Configuring Communications Preferences
You can specify options that control which protocols the system uses during calls by
configuring preferences in
Administrator Preferences : Communications
.
Disabling Multiway Calling
You can disable multiway calling on Avaya systems by choosing
Disabled
for the
Multiway
Calls
preference in
Administrator Preferences : Communications : General
. The default,
Enabled
, allows users to place multiway calls up to the maximum number supported by the
system. You can configure this preference only when the system is not in a call. Choosing
Disabled
allows only one call, voice or video, to connect to the system.
If the system includes an embedded multipoint bridge, the
One Video + One Voice
option
also appears for this preference. This option allows the system to connect to both a video
and a voice call as the maximum number of connected callers.
Configuring Dialing Options
You can choose voice and video dialing options during the initial configuration, when
performing a system reset, or at any other time by accessing
Administrator Preferences :
Communications : General
. Refer to the Installation Guide for your Avaya system model
for more information about these preferences.
Enabling Presentations
Users can share data during a call through a secondary H.239 media channel, typically from
a laptop or personal computer that is connected to the appropriate input on the Avaya
codec. By default, the presentation function is enabled on an Avaya system. To disable
presentations access
Administrator Preferences : Communications : General :
Presentations
. Consider disabling the presentation function if your system experiences
interoperability issues with third party systems that do not support presentations.
Note:
When presentations are disabled for all participants during a call, the user interface
offers the user the option to send video from the presentation input as the primary
video stream. Refer to the
Avaya Video Communications Systems User Guide
for
more information about presentations and selecting primary and presentation
inputs.
