Add Site Dialog Box

Lets you define a new site in the Polycom DMA system’s site topology and

specify which subnets are associated with it. The following table describes the

fields in the dialog box.

NAT/firewall traversal appliances in the site.
Endpoints The number of registered endpoints in the site.
Subnets A list of the subnets in the site.

Table 11-3 Add Site dialog box
Field Description
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
(Mbps)
The total bandwidth limit for voice and video calls. If not
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.
