Setting Flags on the RealPresence Collaboration Server
When running conferences in mixed environment (RealPresence Collaboration Server and MGC) there may
be small differences between the line rates each MCU is sending. In the RealPresence Collaboration
Server, several flags must be set to ensure that these differences will not cause the cascaded link to connect
as Secondary and that Content flows correctly between the cascaded conferences. This procedure is
performed once per RealPresence Collaboration Server.
To modify the flags:
1
In the RealPresence Collaboration Server Web Client menu, click
Setup > System Configuration
.
2
In the
System Flags
dialog box, add the following new flags and values:
MIX_LINK_ENVIRONMENT=YES
Setting this flag to YES will adjust the line rate of HD Video Switching conferences run on the
RealPresence Collaboration Server 1800 from 1920Kbps to
18432
Kbps to match the actual rate
of the HD Video Switching conference running on the MGC. In such case, the conference can
include IP and ISDN participants.
I
P_ ENVIRONMENT_LINK=NO
H263_ANNEX_T=YES
(default)
This flag enables/disables the use of Annex T with H263. Set it to
NO
if the endpoints connecting
to the conference do not support this mode. In such a case, you must also change the MGC flag
ENABLE_H239_ANNEX_T
setting to
NO
.
FORCE_1X1_LAYOUT_ON_CASCADED_LINK_CONNECTION=YES
(default).
Set this flag to
NO
If the MGC is functioning as a Gateway and participant layouts on the other
network are not to be forced to 1X1.
