|
End Time Alert | Select this option to enable the End of Conference |
Tone x Min | reminder tone to be played once to all the connected |
| participants, n minutes before the end of the |
| conference. This tone is different from other tones. |
| The tone is embedded in the MCU's software. |
| Note: If the automatic extension of the conference is |
| enabled for the MCU, selecting this option also |
| enables the automatic extension of the conference |
| duration for this conference. For more information |
| see the MGC Administrator’s Guide, Chapter 5 |
| “MCU Utilities”. |

|
Line Rate | Specify the transfer rate in Kbps. |
| In a Video Switching conference, you must select |
| the highest transfer rate common to all participants. |
| For example, if two participants can connect at a |
| transfer rate of 384 Kbps and one participant can |
| connect at a transfer rate of 128 Kbps, set the Line |
| Rate to 2B or 128 Kbps (2B in Bonding mode). In a |
| conference with participants from mixed networks |
| (ISDN and H.323), the line rate defined for the ISDN |
| participant is the line rate that will be used for the |
| H.323 participant. The line rate currently supported |
| for H.323 is E1. In high rates, the capacity of the |
| H.323 Network card changes. For more details, see |
| the MGC Hardware and Installation Guide, Chapter |
| 4. |
| In Transcoding and Continuous Presence |
| conferences, the line rate is defined for each of the |
| participants separately. The conference line rate |
| apply only to those participants whose Line Rate |
| was set to Auto. In such a case, set the conference |
| line rate to the highest transfer rate possible by the |
| endpoints connecting in Auto mode. Maximum |
| transfer rate in Transcoding and Continuous |
| Presence modes is 1920 Kbps (E1). In Software |
| Continuous Presence (SWCP) the Line Rate is set |
| for conferences and represents the transmission |
| rate from the MCU to the endpoint (combined video |
| rate and audio rate). |
