Configuring Call Preferences - Polycom V500 Administrator's Manual

Configuring Call Preferences

Call preferences help you manage the network bandwidth used for calls. For
example, you can specify the default and optional call settings for outgoing
calls, and limit the call speeds for incoming calls.
If you have just set up your network, use the screens described in this section
to specify your call settings. If your network has been set up for some time, but
you notice that your call quality is not optimal, you may want to change some
of these call preference settings to increase the quality of your calls.
To configure call preferences:
1. Go to System > Admin Settings > Network > Call Preference.
2. Configure these settings:
Setting Description
Enable Basic Enables a limited operating mode that uses H.261 for video
Mode and G.711 for audio. This mode provides administrators with a
workaround for interoperability issues that cannot be solved
using other methods. The Basic Mode setting stays in effect
until you change it.
Enable H.239 Specifies standards-based People+Content data collaboration.
Note that some H.323 devices do not recognize this new
standard. You can try disabling this option if you suspect a
compatibility issue.
Enable IP H.323 Allows the system to make IP calls.
Enable SIP Allows the system to use SIP when connecting IP calls.
Enable ISDN Allows the system to make ISDN calls.
H.320
This selection is only available when the system has ISDN

such as an organization's PBX.
