Assured Services SIP (AS-SIP)

network. AS-SIP incorporates Multilevel Precedence and Preemption, Secure Signaling and Media, Quality
of Service (QoS), and IPv6 support.

the local interface.
USB Log Management
You can now set up automatic and manual transfers of the log files to a USB device.
Scalable Video Codec Updates
The Polycom RealPresence Group Series software supports the SVC (Scalable Video Codec) protocol. In
an SVC-based conference, each SVC-enabled endpoint transmits multiple bit streams, a process called
simulcasting, to the Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server. The RealPresence Collaboration Server
sends or relays selected video streams to the endpoints without sending the entire video layout.
SVC-based conferencing reduces video resource requirements, and provides better error resiliency, lower
latency, and more flexibility with display layouts.
Several new scalable video codec (SVC) features are now supported:
● Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s 8.1 Compatibility
● Integrated Voice Response and DTMF Support
● Additional Sites in Layouts
Microsoft Lync 2013 Compatibility
The release includes updates from software testing with Microsoft Lync Server 2013 and is compatible with
both Microsoft Lync 2013 and Microsoft Lync 2010.
