Field Description
Headset Mode
Microphone,
Speaker Change these fields only if you want to override the devices that X-Lite automatically selected.
In both these fields, select the headset you are using.
The headset is the device that is usually used for audio out (the sound you hear) and audio in
(recording your voice). The only situation in which the headset is not used is when the Speaker
Phone button on the dialpad is pressed.
Therefore, unless you will always be using X-Lite in speakerphone mode, you must make a
selection here.
Select the headset in both the Speaker device field and Microphone device field.
Zero-touch device
configuration Typically, leave on. When device configuration is on, if you change your audio device, X-Lite will
automatically detect the new device and start using it.
Test Devices See “Troubleshooting” on page 43.

Phone button is pressed.

the speaker device. For example, it can be the microphone on your camera.

disabled.

Select the camera model.
Resolution Leave at standard, or change the size as follows:
• Set it to high if you have a good camera and a computer with a fast CPU. You will know that you
have set the size too large if:
Your computer slows down (the video is using too much CPU)
The video shows black areas or is slow or jerky.
• Typically set it to low only in special situations, for example, when using wi-fi in a hotel. You
will know that you have set the size too small if the video is fuzzy.
This field is identical to the Resolution field in Media Quality > Video Quality.
