Appendix H-Setting the Collaboration Server for Integration Into Microsoft Environment
Polycom, Inc. H-49
• AUTO – No forcing occurs and the Collaboration Server negotiates a full set of Audio
algorithm during capabilities exchange.
• G711A/U or G722 – Set this flag value according to the hosting workstation capabilities.
If the Collaboration Server detects single core host during capabilities exchange it will
assign a G.711 or G.722 Audio algorithm according to the flag value.
Possible values: AUTO, G711A, G711U, G722
Default: G711A
Controlling Resource Allocations for Lync Clients Using the RTV Video
Protocol
The number of resources used by the system to connect a Lync client with RTV is
determined according to the conference line rate and the Maximum video resolution set in
the Conference Profile.
In versions 7.6 and earlier, when conferences are set to line rates above 600 kbps, the
Collaboration Server could allocate up to three video resources to Lync clients connecting
using the RTV video protocol.
From version 7.6.1, the system flag MAX_RTV_RESOLUTION enables you to override the
Collaboration Server resolution selection and limit it to a lower resolution. Resource usage
can then be minimized the 1 or 1.5 video resources per call instead of 3 resources, depending
on the selected resolution.
Possible flag values are: AUTO (default), QCIF, CIF, VGA or HD720.
For example, if the flag is set to VGA, conference line rate is 1024Kbps, and the Profile
Maximum Resolution is set to Auto, the system will limit the Lync RTV client to a resolution
of VGA instead of HD720p and will consume only 1.5 video resources instead of 3
resources.
When set to AUTO (default), the system uses the default resolution matrix based on the
conference line rate.
To change the default flag setting, add the MAX_RTV_RESOLUTION flag to the System
Configuration flags and set its value. For information, see .
The following table summarizes the Collaboration Server resources allocated to a Lync
Client based on the MAX_RTV_RESOLUTION flag setting, the connection line rate and the
video resolution.
