Configuring Call Preferences
All users can set auto answer options for calls and specify the maximum number of entries to appear in the Redial list. Refer to “Placing a Call” on page 12 for more information.
Administrators can configure the maximum call time and bandwidth in Administrator Preferences : Calls.
Managing Bandwidth
You can specify the maximum bandwidth that an outgoing or incoming call uses by setting the Outgoing Maximum Bandwidth and Incoming Maximum Bandwidth preferences in Administrator Preferences : Calls. The value that you choose for the Outgoing Maximum Bandwidth becomes the maximum value that users can choose in the user interface when placing a call by dialing a number manually or when specifying a bandwidth in a directory entry. If a user specifies Auto for the bandwidth when placing a call, the maximum outgoing bandwidth becomes the starting point for negotiating bandwidth when the call connects.
If you choose Auto as the value for the Outgoing Maximum Bandwidth and Incoming Maximum Bandwidth preferences and the user chooses Auto for the bandwidth when placing the call, the system places the call at 1152 kb/s.
The Auto Bandwidth preference addresses how the system responds to packet loss during a call. When set to Enabled, the default, the system attempts to use the best available bandwidth after the call connects.
Selecting a Maximum Call Time
You can control the amount of time that a call stays connected by selecting an option for the Maximum Call Time preference in Administrator Preferences : Calls.
Controlling REDIAL List Entries and Auto Answer Options
Users and administrators can control the number of entries that appear in the REDIAL list and how the system answers calls in User Preferences and Administrator Preferences : Calls. Refer to “Placing a Call” on page 12 for more information.
