Identifies the network capacity (measured in bits
per second) used by the media channels
established by the MCU to a single participant.
When the MCU makes a call to an endpoint, the
MCU chooses the maximum bandwidth that is
allowed to be used for the media channels which
comprise that call. This field sets that maximum
bandwidth, and is the total bandwidth of the
audio, video, and content channels combined.
This setting can be overridden by individual
endpoints' Preferred bandwidth from MCU values.
Sets the bandwidth that the MCU will advertise to
the endpoint when it calls it.
This setting can be overridden by individual
endpoints' Preferred bandwidth to MCU values.
Determines which layout views (see Customizing
layout views) new participants see when
connecting to conferences.
Regardless of the family chosen here, participants
can cycle through the available families using the
Far End Camera Controls. See Understanding
how participants display in layout views.
When there are only two participants, each
participant will see the other in full-screen view.
If selected, when there are only two participants
in a conference, this will apply regardless of
which layout was originally chosen for the
conference. If you do not select this setting, then
the default family view is used with unused panes
blank.
When in a conference, there is generally one
participant that the MCU recognizes as the active
speaker, notionally the person currently speaking
the loudest. This setting determines how the
MCU displays that participant in conference
views.
With this setting, no special action is
taken when displaying the active
speaker.
Displays a red border around the active
speaker.
Displays a green border around the
active speaker.
Determines whether the MCU is operating in
Reserved mode (Media port reservation ) or
Unreserved mode (Media port reservation
).
See Port reservation modes for additional
information.
Allows various audible in-conference features to
be enabled or disabled.
The options are:
: audible messages to
indicate when the conference's
scheduled end time is approaching.
: audible
messages indicating when other
