Adding or Editing Services
In the Services tab, you can add a new service or edit an existing one.
Procedure
Step 1
In the Gateway interface, on the sidebar, click
Gateway
(if not already selected).
Step 2
Click the
Services
tab.
Step 3
To add a new service, click
Add
. To edit an existing service, select it and then click
Edit
.
Step 4
In the
Prefix
field, enter or edit the prefix number of the service. The prefix can be up to 31 characters
long. Valid characters are 0 to 9 and pound sign (#), asterisk (*), and comma (,).
Note
Since the comma cannot be used in the Party number field of the Cisco IPVC 35xx MCU
Conference Control interface, we recommend that you do not use the comma as a prefix in
gateway fields.
Step 5
In the
Description
field, enter or edit the description of the service (up to 31 characters in length).
Step 6
In the
Call type
field, select the call type for this service:
Video
or
Voice
.
Step 7
In the
Bit rate
field, select the maximum bit rate you want for this service. If you select
Auto
, the
gateway determines the ISDN call rate according to the bearer capability received in the setup message
from the IP network endpoint.
Note
The Auto setting is for video calls only.
If the IP network endpoint has a configured bit rate that is not one of the options listed in this field, the
gateway uses the default bit rate configured in the
Default Service Bit Rate
field in the Advanced
section of the Settings tab.
Note
If the
Ignore caller bearer rate and force service rate
field is selected when you define a bit
rate for a service, the service uses the defined bit rate. If the
Ignore caller bearer rate and force
service rate
is unselected, the bit rate you define serves as the maximum limit for that service.
Step 8
Click
Advanced
to configure bonding synchronization settings.
