Identifying the IP-codec-set
1. Note the values of the Near-end Node Name and Far-end Network Region
fields.
2. If the Near-end Node Name field is set to PROCR, the listed value is used. If
the Near-end Node Name field is set to CLAN, enter list ip-interface
clan to find the correct CLAN and make a note of the slot value. These
values are used to determine the IP-Codec-set.
3. On the Communication Manager SAT screen, enter display
ip-interface procr/slot.
4. Note the value of the Network Region field.
5. On the Communication Manager SAT screen, enter display-ip-network-
regionand move to the Inter Network Region Connection Management
page.
6. Ensure the dst rgn number aligns with the Far-end Network Region . Make
note of the codec set number.

Adding video to ip-codec-set
1. On the SAT screen enter change ip-codec-set n, where n is the codec
set number used by the SIP signalling group.
2. Add or change the appropriate audio codecs as required. Set the following
Multimedia parameters:
●
Allow Direct-IP Multimedia : y
●
Maximum Call Rate for Direct-IP Multimedia : 1024 Kbits
Note:
Note:
These values are examples only. 1024 allows for 720p High
Definition. Higher resolutions require more bandwidth. See Avaya
video Conferencing Solutions Networking Guide for further details.
●
Maximum Call Rate for Priority Direct-IP Multimedia: 2048 Kbits
Note:
Note:
This applies to priority video users and is not required for minimal
administration. See Avaya video Conferencing Solutions Networking
Guide for further details.
Note:
Note:
Verify that the list of audio codecs on the first page includes at least
one of the audio codecs supported by the video endpoint, such as
