Option | Description |

|
Line Rate | Specify the transfer rate in Kbps. |
| Video Switching - 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 such a rate, the number of H.323 |
| participants supported by the H.323 Network |
| Interface module is reduced by half from 12 to 6 |
| participants. |
| Transcoding and Continuous Presence - the line |
| rate has to be defined for each of the participants |
| separately. The settings in this field 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 common to all participants. |
| Maximum transfer rate in Transcoding and |
| Continuous Presence modes is 1920 Kbps (E1). |
| Software Continuous Presence - the Line Rate is |
| set for conferences and represents the transmission |
| rate from the MCU to the endpoint (combined video |
| rate and audio rate). For more details regarding the |
| Line Rate settings for Software CP conferences, see |
| MGC Manager User’s Guide Volume II, Chapter 1, |
| Version. |
| Note: |
| The high line rate transmission is enabled with the |
| standard video card (version 1.43 and up) or with the |
| Video+ card. The line rate of incoming ISDN/H.323 |
| calls can be automatically detected and the |
| participant can be connected according to his/her |
| capabilities, without prior setting of the endpoint’s |
| line rate during conference setup. In such a case, |
| the conference Line Rate is the maximum rate for |
| the participant connection. |
