Additional Conferencing Information
Polycom®, Inc. 182
●In new Profiles that are created after the upgrade, the Auto mute noisy endpoints option is
automatically enabled.
If your conferencing environment includes the Polycom DMA, the conferences that are started from the
DMA will not include the Auto mute noisy endpoints parameter as it is not part of the DMA Profiles. In such
a case, when the parameter setting is unknown, the system will enable or disable the automatic muting of
noisy endpoints according to the flag setting - if the flag is set to YES, it will be enabled in the conference.
The following table summarizes the state (enabled or disabled) of the Automatic muting of noisy endpoints
feature depending on the ENABLE_SELECTIVE_MIXING flag setting and the Auto mute noisy endpoints
setting in the Profile Properties - Audio Settings:
Enabling or Disabling the Automatic Muting of Noisy Endpoints
The automatic muting of noisy endpoints can be enabled or disabled at the conference level (in the
Conference Profile) or at the system level, by changing the ENABLE_SELECTIVE_MIXING flag setting.
In new MCU installations, the automatic muting of noisy endpoints is automatically enabled on the MCU as
the ENABLE_SELECTIVE_MIXING flag is set to YES and the Auto mute noisy endpoints check box in the
Profile Properties - Audio Settings tab is selected.
You can disable the automatic muting of noisy endpoints by either setting the system flag to NO or clearing
the Auto mute noisy endpoints check box in the Profile Properties - Audio Settings tab.
If required, it is recommended to disabled the automatic muting of noisy endpoints at the conference level,
in the conference Profile without changing the flag settings.
In existing MCU sites, following the software upgrade the automatic muting of noisy endpoints is disabled
at the conference level in the existing conference Profile and has to be manually enabled in these profiles.
This option is automatically enabled when creating a new Profile.
Enabling or Disabling the Automatic Muting of Noisy Endpoints at the Conference Level
If the ENABLE_SELECTIVE_MIXING flag is set to YES, the automatic muting of noisy endpoints can be
enabled or disabled at the conference level in the Conference Profile - Audio Settings dialog box.
If the ENABLE_SELECTIVE_MIXING flag is set to NO, the automatic muting of noisy endpoints is disabled
at the conference level and cannot be enabled in the Conference Profile - Audio Settings dialog box.
