USER GUIDE
Bandwidth for a MultiSite Contact Call
When calling a MultiSite Contact, the system
will try to call the participants with their speci-
fied bandwidths. If the total bandwidth exceeds
the system’s maximum bandwidth, the system
will downspeed and distribute the available
bandwidth equally among all the participants.
Example: Assume that in a MultiSite
Contact there is one participant with band-
width 256 kbps and one participant with
bandwidth 384 kbps. Furthermore assume
that 512 kbps is the maximum bandwidth
of the system.
The sum of the two participants’ bandwidth
clearly exceeds the maximum bandwidth
available. The system will then downspeed
so that each participant connects with equal
bandwidth, i.e. 512kbps/2 = 256 kbps.
Creating Multisite Contacts in the Phone Book
About Multisite Contacts*
Assume that you frequently use your video
system to set up MultiSite video meetings
involving the same persons every time.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to set up the
video meeting with just a few clicks?
Enter MultiSite Contacts. You may assign
contacts already in your Phone Book to a
MultiSite group. This group will in turn form
a MultiSite Contact. When setting up a
video conference, all members of a particu-
lar MultiSite Contact will then be connected
automatically, so you won’t have to call
them one by one!
My Contacts can hold up to 50 MultiSites
Contacts. The TANDBERG 1700
MXP sup-
ports up to a total of 4 video participants
and 3 telephone participants per meeting.
* MultiSite Contacts is an optional feature. Contact your
system administrator or your TANDBERG representative
for details.
