End Time Alert
Tone x Min

Select this option to enable the End of Conference
reminder tone to be played once to all the connected
participants, n minutes before the end of the
conference. This tone is different from other tones.
The tone is embedded in the MCU's software.
Note: If the automatic extension of the conference is
enabled for the MCU, selecting this option also
enables the automatic extension of the conference
duration for this conference. For more information
see the MGC Administrator’s Guide, Chapter 5
“MCU Utilities”.

Line Rate

Specify the transfer rate in Kbps.
In a Video Switching conference, you must select
the highest transfer rate common to all participants.
For example, if two participants can connect at a
transfer rate of 384 Kbps and one participant can
connect at a transfer rate of 128 Kbps, set the Line
Rate to 2B or 128 Kbps (2B in Bonding mode). In a
conference with participants from mixed networks
(ISDN and H.323), the line rate defined for the ISDN
participant is the line rate that will be used for the
H.323 participant. The line rate currently supported
for H.323 is E1. In high rates, the capacity of the
H.323 Network card changes. For more details, see
the MGC Hardware and Installation Guide, Chapter
4.
In Transcoding and Continuous Presence
conferences, the line rate is defined for each of the
participants separately. The conference line rate
apply only to those participants whose Line Rate
was set to Auto. In such a case, set the conference
line rate to the highest transfer rate possible by the
endpoints connecting in Auto mode. Maximum
transfer rate in Transcoding and Continuous
Presence modes is 1920 Kbps (E1). In Software
Continuous Presence
(SWCP) the Line Rate is set
for conferences and represents the transmission
rate from the MCU to the endpoint (combined video
rate and audio rate).
