System Configuration Flag; Monitoring Isdn/Pstn Participants - Polycom RealPresence 1500 Administrator's Manual

Conference and Participant Monitoring
received within a predefined timeout interval, the endpoint is considered disconnected. Therefore as long
as either RTCP or RTP messages (interchangeably) are received on either of the video or audio channels,
the endpoint is considered connected.
If no messages are received through either channel within the predefined time out interval, the endpoint is
disconnected, and a disconnection message, H.323 remote stopped responding, is sent to the
endpoint.
No channel disconnection detection occurs while an endpoint's video or audio are muted, or while the
endpoint is put on hold.
In audio calls, only the audio channel is polled for RTCP/RTP messages.

System Configuration Flag

The time out used for H.323 endpoint disconnection detection is controlled by the
DETECT_H323_EP_DISCONNECT_TIMER System Flag which must be added to the System
Configuration to view or modify its value.
Range: 16 - 300 (4-second units). Values indivisible by 4 will be rounded upward. Flag values between 0
and 15 disable the flag functionality.
Default: 20

Monitoring ISDN/PSTN Participants

Using the Participant Properties dialog box, you can monitor and verify the properties of an ISDN/PSTN
participant. The dialog box's tabs contain information that is relevant to the participant's status only while
the conference is running and is used to monitor the participant's status when connection problems occur.
Maximum line rate at which ISDN endpoints can connect to a conference is 768 kbps.
The table below lists the audio algorithms that are supported for ISDN participants according to their
connection bit rate
