Field

Description

 

 

Enable for conference

Makes the MCU available as a conferencing resource

rooms

for the Polycom DMA system’s Conference Manager.

 

Up to 64 MCUs can be enabled for conference rooms.

 

Caution: Before adding an MCU to the DMA system’s

 

conferencing resources, make sure that MCU isn’t

 

already a RealPresence Resource Manager system

 

conferencing resource. The RealPresence Resource

 

Manager system must have exclusive use of any MCUs

 

on which it directly schedules conferences.

 

 

Enable gateway profiles

Makes the MCU available for selection as an ISDN

 

gateway device and enables the Gateway Profiles tab

 

for configuring gateway session profiles.

 

Gateway session profiles indicate to the MCU the

 

bandwidth parameters to be used for the ISDN

 

connection. They can be used for:

 

ISDN gateway calls to the MCU’s direct dial-in

 

prefix. In this case, the caller specifies the session

 

profile prefix in the dial string:

 

<direct dial-in prefix><session profile

 

prefix><delimiter><E.164 number>

 

Calls to simplified ISDN gateway dialing prefixes

 

(see “Add Simplified ISDN Gateway Dialing Prefix

 

Dialog Box” on page 277). In this case, the DMA

 

system selects the MCU/gateway and its session

 

profile. See “ISDN Gateway Selection Process” on

 

page 147.

 

 

Class of service

Select to specify the default class of service and the bit

 

rate limits for this MCU.

 

If specified, calls to the MCU use its class of service or

 

the calling endpoint’s, whichever is better.

 

 

Maximum bit rate (kbps)

Select the maximum bit rate for calls to this MCU.

 

 

Minimum downspeed bit

Select the minimum bit rate to which calls to this MCU

rate (kbps)

can be downspeeded to manage bandwidth. If this

 

minimum isn’t available, the call is dropped.

 

The minimum that applies to a call is the higher of the

 

MCU’s and the calling endpoint’s.

 

 

Permanent

Prevents the MCU’s registration with the Call Server

 

from ever expiring. For MCUs, this option should always

 

be selected (the default).
