Description Field
Select the percentage of span that you want to make available
for combined audio and video between sites; for example,
between the central and remote site. The rest of the span gets
used for data communication between sites.
You can use the slider to select the value or enter in the field
provided.
Bandwidth Allocation for Audio and Video
The number of video calls is
expected to be small. Because
bandwidth is usually limited
between sites, the system does
not reserve video bandwidth for
infrequent video calls because
this bandwidth can be used for
the audio-only calls. Thus, if a
large number of video calls are
made (relative to the number of
video calls between sites as
shown on the sites page), audio
and video quality can suffer
between the sites. If you
encounter poor quality due to a
large number of video calls, then
you may find it necessary to
disable video to and from site.
Caution
Determine whether the quality of (audio and video) calls or
the number of total calls is more important for calls between
the sites; for example, between the central and teleworkers site
or central and branch sites. Slide the scale to accommodate
your decision.
You can use the slider to select the value.
Point-to-point video is not supported within the
teleworker site or between the teleworker site and any
other site connected to the teleworker site.
Note
Quality/Quantity Tradeoff
This setting, which is read only, lists the maximum number of
calls (audio and video) that can occur between the sites. The
number changes if you update any of the settings in the Calls
Between Sites section. Approximate Call Capacity to Other Sites
Calls Within Sites
Determine whether the quality of calls (audio and video) or
the number of total calls is more important for calls within the
site that you are configuring. Slide the scale to accommodate
your decision.
You can use the slider to select the value.
