Option Description
Aggregation This field applies to ISDN connections only. Select
the aggregation method:
H221 – The standard communication protocol, in
which a different phone number is assigned to
each channel.
Bonding - A communication protocol that
aggregates from two up to thirty 64-kbps B
channels together to look like one large bandwidth
channel.
Multi-Rate – A communication protocol in which
channels are aggregated to form one dedicated
line. The MGC Manager currently supports
aggregation of 6 channels to form one line of 384-
Kbps rate (64 X 6=384). In such a case, the
network ensures that all six channels are
synchronized and there are no intervals between
the arrivals of the data packets.
Auto – Click this option to connect the participant
according to his/her capabilities. When connecting
to the conference, the endpoint and the MCU
exchange capabilities. During this exchange, the
MCU identifies the aggregat ion mode used by the
endpoint and connects it accordingly.
Number of
Channels This field applies only to ISDN/ATM connections.
Indicate the number of channels the participant
uses for the connection.
Select “auto” to use the conference’s Line Rate
setting. This is also the mode recommended for
ATM conferences.
Select the appropriate number of channels to
force the system to use the participant settings.
