If you have more than one SIP account, decide which is the default and move it to be the first SIP account
in the list. Similarly, if you have more than one XMPP account, decide which is the default and move it to
be the first XMPP account. For information on the role that the default account plays, see “How Bria
Professional Selects an Account” on page 7.

Status column is “Ready”.

Configuring Global Settings (Preferences)

Use the Preferences window to configure features that apply globally, rather than on a per-account basis. The
panels that you, as the system adminstrator, should set are:

Privacy, but only the Corporate panel. Leave the General panel for users to complete.

Network. You should complete these fields to suit your network.

Audio Codecs and Video Codecs. You should enable the codecs that are suitable to your environment.

Quality of Service. If your VoIP service provider supports QoS, you can configure Bria Professional for it.

LDAP. You can set up a company directory on a server and connect Bria Professional to it via the LDAP
protocol. The directory will appear in the Directory tab. Information in this tab will update automatically
whenever the information on the LDAP changes.

Contact Storage. This panel lets you set up a remote storage system for your contact list via WebDAV or
XCAP. Note that the storage that is configured here is for the contact list (which contains SIP addresses and
other addresses), while the storage that is configured on each SIP account is for the buddy list (which
contains only presence/availability information).

Advanced. On this panel you should configure only the login server fields; leave other fields for users to
complete.

See “Preferences Reference” on page 24.
