Scopia XT Desktop Clients can connect to the Scopia XT Desktop Server either by an IP address or a
DNS name. In many deployments the Scopia XT Desktop Server IP address is not accessible to clients
outside the enterprise due to NAT or firewall restrictions. Therefore, Scopia XT Desktop Server has a
public address, which must be a DNS name resolving to the correct Scopia XT Desktop Server IP
address both inside and outside the corporate network.
Planning your Bandwidth Requirements
The Scopia Solution supports a number of technologies designed to minimize the bandwidth used in
videoconferences. For more information on the bandwidth-saving features of Scopia Solution, see
Scopia Solution Guide. Even so, there are policy decisions you can make to reduce bandwidth further by
deciding on the location of video network components and setting bandwidth management policies in
your organization. You can estimate the total bandwidth required for Scopia XT Desktop, which includes:
• Bandwidth consumed by videoconference participants connecting to the Scopia XT Desktop
Server (Scopia XT Desktop Clients and Scopia Mobile devices)
Use your Scopia XT Desktop bandwidth estimation to do the following:
• Calculate your bandwidth costs, for both external and internal bandwidth (see
Bandwidth Used by Scopia XT Desktop Participants
For example, to reduce bandwidth, you may decide that all calls going outside your organization
are limited to standard definition (SD), or that all calls are SD by default.
