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 the sites.
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.
