Network connection

Complete this field only if you have disabled zero-touch bandwidth
detection.
Select the type of network connection for your computer.
Preserve bandwidth
When this feature is on, Softalk stops sending audio when you are not
talking.
When this feature is off, Softalk always sends audio, which uses more
bandwidth but may result in better call quality.
Typically off. However, if you are using a slow (dial-up or ISDN)
connection, you may want to turn it on.
Call inactivity
When this feature is on, Softalk automatically hangs up a call when it
detects the specified period of inactivity. In other words, if you are on
a call and the call gets disconnected (the call session ends) because
of network problems (rather than because of one of the parties
hanging up), then Softalk ends the call after the specified period.
Typically on.
