APPENDIX J. TELEVANTAGE CONFIGURATION SETTINGS J-21
4. Set the contents of DisableDevices to a comma-separated list of the device names you
are disabling.
For example, to disable the third and fourth channels on the first telephony board in a
system, set the contents of
DisableDevices as follows:
DXXXB1C3,DXXXB1C4
To disable all the channels on a board, set DisableDevices to the board name without
any channel, for example:
DXXXB1
5. Save the changes to the registry.
Note:
If you add or remove Dialogic boards, you must update the DisableDevices list.
Modifying how conference resources are used
By default, TeleVantage may utilize the conference resources on any board in the system that
meets the conference requirements to start a conference call and add participants. Priority
settings and board order determine which available board is used first, if more than one board
meets the conference requirements.
Some boards support more conferences, or more parties per conference than others. If a
conference grows too large for the board currently handling it, the conference is automatically
moved to a board that supports the increased number of participants, if one is available. (See
Appendix A in Installing Dialogic Telephony Components for details on the conference
capabilities of different telephony boards.)
You can modify how conference resources are used in the following ways:
Q Disable all of the conferencing resources on an individual board. See the next
section for details.
Q Change a board’s conference priority. For instructions, see “Changing a board’s
conference priority” on page J-22.
Disabling a board’s conference resources
Disabled conference resources are never used for TeleVantage conference calls. One reason to
do this (rather than disable all of the resources on the board as described in “Disabling Dialogic
devices” on page J-20), would be to keep a board’s conferencing resources free for use by
another application, while still allowing its other resources to be used by TeleVantage.
You can disable all of the conference resources on a board via the Windows registry.
Note:
For some boards, conference resources are only available when the boards are
configured with certain media loads, as indicated in the table on page J-22; other media loads do
not provide conference resources on these boards.
