Field Description
Network connection speed Complete this field only if you have disabled zero-touch bandwidth detection
(see page 31).
Select the type of network connection for your computer.
Preserve bandwidth When this feature is on, eyeBeam stops sending audio when you are not talking.
When this feature is off, eyeBeam always sends audio, which uses more
bandwidth but may result in better
call quality.
Typically off. However, if you are using a slow (dial-up or ISDN) connection,
you may want to turn it on.
Call inactivity When this feature is on, eyeBeam automatically hangs up a call when it detects
the specified period of inactivity. In other words, if you are on a call and the call
gets disconnected (the call session ends) because of network problems (rather
than because of one of the parties hanging up), then eyeBeam ends the call after
the specified period.
Typically on. This feature might be turned off if, for example, a PBX server
already handles inactivity issues.
