Managing Bandwidth
You can specify the maximum bandwidth that an outgoing or incoming call uses by setting
the
Outgoing Maximum Bandwidth
and
Incoming Maximum Bandwidth
preferences in
Administrator Preferences : Calls
. The value that you choose for the
Outgoing Maximum
Bandwidth
becomes the maximum value that users can choose in the user interface when
placing a call by dialing a number manually or when specifying a bandwidth in a directory
entry. If a user specifies
Auto
for the bandwidth when placing a call, the maximum outgoing
bandwidth becomes the starting point for negotiating bandwidth when the call connects.
If you choose
Auto
as the value for the
Outgoing Maximum Bandwidth
and
Incoming
Maximum Bandwidth
preferences and the user chooses
Auto
for the bandwidth when
placing the call, the system places the call at 1152 kb/s. An exception occurs when you set
the display resolution to a 1080i or 1080p resolution in
Administrator Preferences :
Appearance : Displays
on Avaya systems that support these resolutions with
Avaya Video Camera 200. In this case, the system places the call at 1728 kb/s.
The
Auto Bandwidth
preference addresses how the system responds to packet loss during
a call. When set to
Enabled
, the default, the system attempts to use the best available
bandwidth after the call connects.
Selecting a Maximum Call Time
You can control the amount of time that a call stays connected by selecting an option for the
Maximum Call Time
preference in
Administrator Preferences : Calls
.
Controlling REDIAL List Entries and Auto Answer Options
Users and administrators can control the number of entries that appear in the
REDIAL
list
and how the system answers calls in
User Preferences
and
Administrator Preferences :
Calls
. Refer to the
Avaya Video Communications Systems User Guide
for more information.
