Setting

Description

 

 

Type of Service

Specifies your service type and lets you choose how to set the

 

priority of IP packets sent to the system for video, audio, and

 

far-end camera control:

 

• IP Precedence — Represents the priority of IP packets sent to

 

the system. The value can be between 0 and 5. If this option is

 

selected, enter the value in the Type of Service Value field.

 

• DiffServ — Represents a priority level between 0 and 63. If this

 

option is selected, enter the value in the Type of Service Value

 

field.

 

 

Type of Service

Specifies the IP Precedence or Diffserv value for Video, Audio,

Value

and Far-End Camera Control.

 

 

Enable PVEC

Allows the system to use PVEC (Polycom Video Error

 

Concealment) if packet loss occurs.

 

 

Dynamic

Specifies whether to let the system automatically find the optimum

Bandwidth

line speed for a call.

 

 

Maximum Transmit

Specifies the maximum transmit line speed between 48 Kbps and

Bandwidth

512 Kbps.

 

 

Maximum Receive

Specifies the maximum receive line speed between 48 Kbps and

Bandwidth

512 Kbps.

 

 

If the system is connected to the Internet via DSL or a cable modem, it is useful to set maximums for transmitting and receiving bandwidth. DSL and cable modems typically allow for faster download (receive) speeds compared to upload (transmit) speeds, and so these settings provide an opportunity to regulate differences.
