Field Description

Network connection speed Complete this field only if you have disabled zero-touch bandwidth detection

(see page31).

Select the type of network connection for your computer.

Preserve bandwidth When this feature is on, eyeBeam stops sending audio when you are not talking.

When this feature is off, eyeBeam 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, eyeBeam 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 eyeBeam ends the call after

the specified period.

Typically on. This feature might be turned off if, for example, a PBX server

already handles inactivity issues.
