© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.CIPT2 v Cisco Unified CallManager Considerations When Enabling Video Update locations and regions configuration. Reconsider call routing. Configure separation of MRGLin connection with SCCP MCUs only. Reconsider DSCP values.

© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.CIPT2 v Configuring Video Bandwidth Properties in Cisco Unified CallManager When enabling video, update regions and locations configuration by setting the video bandwidth parameters.

© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.CIPT2 v Call-Routing Considerations Existing dial plan and call-routing features are used: Route or hunt lists or AAR groups can try different paths also for video calls. Retry Video Call as Audio option has a higher preference than AAR.

© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.CIPT2 v QoS Considerations for Video Calls Enabling video in the network requires updates of your QoS policy this can include new DSCP values. Set DSCP values according to your updated QoS policy under Cisco Unified CallManager > Service Parameters. Audio streams in audio-only calls default to EF. Video streams and associated audio streams in video calls default to AF41.
