General Info

 

 

 

 

 

General Settings

 

 

 

 

 

Site name

A meaningful name for the site (up to 128 characters).

 

 

 

 

Description

A brief description of the site (up to 200 characters).

 

 

 

 

Bandwidth Settings

 

 

 

 

 

Max bandwidth

The total bandwidth limit for voice and video calls. If not

 

(Mbps)

selected, voice and video calls can use all of the

 

 

available bandwidth.

 

 

This setting lets you restrict voice and video calls to only

 

 

a portion of the available bandwidth, ensuring that some

 

 

bandwidth always remains available for other network

 

 

traffic.

 

 

 

 

Max bit rate (kbps)

The per-call bit rate limit for voice and video calls.

 

 

Note: Bit rate is not the same as bandwidth. Since the

 

 

bit rate applies in both directions and there is overhead,

 

 

the actual bandwidth consumed is about 2.5 times the

 

 

bit rate selected.

 

 

When you specify both the bandwidth and bit rate limits,

 

 

the dialog box shows you how many calls at that bit rate

 

 

the specified bandwidth limit supports.
