Configuration and Maintenance Manual

• Maximum number of users per audio conference: 200

A maximum of 100 concurrent users with G.729 encoding can connect to all audio conference

calls in progress (as per previously noted, the number of G.729 ports is configurable under

system options Table 6 with a range of 0-100, with default of 100). Once the maximum number

of G.729 ports have been reached, additional users with G.711 encoding can connect and join

an audio conference up to the supported limits.

Web-Only Conference

Higher bandwidth requirements are necessary to support Web conferencing collaboration

features. The MCA server does not prevent more than the supported limits, it only tracks what

is licensed. The following capacities are supported for Web conferencing:

• Total number of concurrent Web conference users: 300

• Maximum number of users per Web conference: 300

Determining Bandwidth

The following is a scenario to help determine approximate usage type and measure the amount

of bandwidth required. Video quality and frames per second (fps) are features that are

configurable by the individual user according to their preference. Combine the collaboration

bandwidth (Tab l e 3) and video bandwidth (Tabl e 4) for the number of users to estimate the total

bandwidth required.

Running multiple Web conferences simultaneously with high quality video (30 fps) and Desktop

Sharing on a network with high traffic could degrade overall performance. Mitel recommends

that you set up a test conference based on the intended use to determine actual performance

and monitor the attendee settings. This is the most accurate way to approximate the actual

bandwidth required, which provides an estimate of required throughput needed by the host and

participants.

Note: MCA supports a maximum of 100 G.729 ports is a single application configuration

and a maximum of 50 ports on MAS running multiple applications.

Note: Terminal server environments, such as Citrix

and Remote Desktop, do not

support video.

Note: Bandwidth is a significant factor for performance during a Web conference or a

Video Call and MCA server resources (CPU and memory) used are minimal.

Note: The recommended setting for video quality is 8 fps (default) or 15 fps. Settings

above the recommended values will significantly increase the bandwidth required.
