Polycom CMA System Operations Guide

Site Link Operations

When you add a site link, you enter the starting and ending sites of the link and the maximum bandwidth and bit rates available for calls (audio and video) that use the link. Links are bidirectional. After you have created a link from Site A to Site B, you automatically have a bi-directional link from Site B to Site A, although the link appears as unidirectional.

Note

The bit rate can be set at the network level, the device level, and the conference level. If there is a discrepancy between these bit rate settings, the system implements the lowest bit rate setting. The only exception, is that the bit rate in the RMX profile takes precedence over the bit rate in the conference settings.
