Site Links
The Site Links page contains a list of the links defined in the site topology. A link can connect two sites, or
it can connect a site to an MPLS network cloud (see Network Clouds). Links between sites must be
configured in order to enable calls between sites. In order for an endpoint in site A to call an endpoint in site
B, there must be a link path (either direct, via other linked sites, or via an MPLS network cloud) connecting
site A and site B.
An initial site link is provided with a freshly installed system, named Default Site to Internet/VPN. It links the
Default site with the Internet/VPN site to allow call routing for a newly deployed system.
If the system is integrated with a RealPresence Resource Manager system, it receives this information from
that system, and this page is read-only. If not, you can enter link information.
The commands in the Actions list let you add a link and edit or delete existing links.
The next table describes the fields in the list.
Max total bandwidth (Mbps) The total bandwidth limit for voice and video calls. If not specified, the site limit
applies.
Max per-call bit rate (kbps) The per-call bit rate limit for voice and video calls. If not specified, the site limit
applies.
When you specify both the bandwidth and bit rate limits, the dialog shows you
how many calls at that bit rate the specified bandwidth supports. The value of
the Bit rate to bandwidth conversion factor setting on the Call Server
Settings page is used in this calculation.
Column Description
Name Name of the link.
Description Description of the link.
From Site The originating site of the link. Can’t be changed when creating a site-to-cloud
link.
To Site The destination site (or MPLS cloud) of the link. Can’t be changed when
creating a site-to-cloud link.
Max Total Bandwidth (Mbps) The total bandwidth limit for voice and video calls, which you set at the
gateway or router.
Max Per-Call Bit Rate (kbps) The per-call bit rate limit for voice and video calls, which you set at the
gateway or router.
