Line Rate (con’t) For more details regarding the Line Rate settings for 
Software CP conferences, see MGC Manager 
User’s Guide Volume II, Chapter 1.
Note: The high line rate transmission is enabled with 
the standard video card (version 1.43 and up) or with 
the Video+ card. The line rate of incoming ISDN/
H.323 calls can be automatically detected and the 
participant can be connected according to his/her 
capabilities, without prior setting of the endpoint’s 
line rate during conference setup. In such a case, 
the conference Line Rate is the maximum rate for 
the participant connection. For more details, see 
MGC Manager User’s Guide Volume II, Chapter 1.
Audio Alg. Select the preferred audio algorithm. The available 
audio algorithms are: 8 (G.729/G.723.1), 16 (G.728/
Siren7), 24 (Siren14/G.722.1/Siren7), 32 (Siren14/
G.722.1/Siren7), 48 (Siren14/G.722/G.711), 56 
(G.722/G.711), or 56 (G.711). 
Siren 7 and Siren14 are Polycom proprietary audio 
algorithms. Siren14 can be used only if the MCU is 
configured to Wideband.
Note: The system must include:
• The appropriate Polycom settings to support 
Siren14
• Siren14 is available with Audio+ cards
Even if the conference is set to Siren14 if the 
endpoints do not connect in Siren14, the conference 
will use G.722.1 instead.
In Video Switching conferences, all of the 
participants must use the same audio algorithm. 
Participants with endpoints that do not support the 
algorithm selected for the conference are connected 
as Secondary (Audio only). If the conference line 
rate is set to 2B or 128 Kbps, to achieve the best 
audio and video quality select the appropriate audio 
algorithm for all the participants in the following 
order: G.728, G.722, G.711.
