Configuring Global Settings (Preferences)
Use the Preferences window (Softphone > Preferences) to configure features that apply globally, rather than on
a per-account basis. The panels that you, as the system administrator, should set are:
• Devices.If you want Bria to support SIP deskphones, set up the deskphone from this panel.
• Audio Codecs and Video Codecs. You should enable the codecs that are suitable to your environment.
• Quality of Service. This panel appears only if the user is running Bria for Windows on Windows XP. If your
VoIP service provider supports QoS, you can configure Bria for it.
• Directory. You can set up a company directory on a server and connect Bria to it via the LDAP or ADSI
protocol. The directory will appear in the Directory tab. Information in this tab will update automatically
whenever the information on the LDAP or ADSI directory changes.
• Calls.
• Files & Web Tabs
See “Preferences Reference” on page 41. For information on the panels that are not discussed in this guide, see
“Bria 3 for Windows User Guide – Enterprise Deployments”.
One of the differences between Bria for Windows and Bria for Mac is in the organization of configuration
information:
• In Bria for Windows, account information is in the Accounts window, which is accessed by choosing
Softphone > Accounts. Preferences are in the Preferences window, which is accessed by choosing
Softphone > Preferences.
• In Bria for Mac, all information is in the Preferences window, which is accessed by choosing Bria >
Preferences.
