Polycom, Inc.
LPR is supported in H.323 and SIP networking environments only.
In LPR-enabled Continuous Presence conferences:
— Both LPR-enabled and non LPR-enabled endpoints are supported.
— The LPR process is not applied to packet transmissions from non LPR-enabled
H.323, SIP and H.320 endpoints.
In LPR-enabled Video Switched conferences:
— H.323 and SIP endpoints are supported.
— When cascading between conferences running on RMX and MGC (Polycom legacy
MCU), LPR is not supported over the link between the two conferences.
— Non H.323 participants cannot be created, added or moved to LPR-enabled Video
Switched conferences.
When connecting via an Entry Queue:
— A participant using an LPR-enabled endpoint cannot be moved to a non LPR-
enabled conference.
— SIP and H.320 participants cannot be moved to LPR-enabled Video Switched
conferences.
If packet loss is detected in the packet transmissions of either the video or Content
streams:
— LPR is applied to both the video and Content streams.
— DBA allocates bandwidth from the video stream for the insertion of additional
packets containing recovery information.
CP Conferences – LPR is enabled by default in the New Profile – Advanced dialog box.
VSW Conferences – If Video Switching is selected, the LPR check box is automatically
cleared and LPR is disabled. LPR can be enabled for VSW conferences but H.320 and
SIP participants will not be able to connect.
