SIP Profile [1..1] Ice Mode
ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment, RFC 5245) is a NAT traversal solution that the 
endpoints can use to discover the optimized media path. Thus the shortest route for audio and 
video is always secured between the endpoints. NOTE: ICE is not supported when registered to 
CUCM (Cisco Unified Communication Manager).
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Auto:  When set to Auto, ICE will be enabled if a turn server is provided, otherwise ICE will be 
disabled.
Off:  Set to Off to disable ICE.
On:  Set to On to enable ICE.
Example:
 SIP Profile 1 Ice Mode: Auto
SIP Profile [1..1] Ice DefaultCandidate
This is the default IP address that the endpoint will receive media on until ICE has reached a 
conclusion about which media route to use (up to the first 5 seconds of a call.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Host:  The endpoint will receive media on its own IP address.
Rflx:  The endpoint will receive media on its public IP address as seen by the TURN server.
Relay:  The endpoint will receive media on the IP address and port allocated on the TURN 
server, and is used as a fallback until ICE has concluded.
Example:
 SIP Profile 1 Ice DefaultCandidate: Host
SIP Profile [1..1] Turn DiscoverMode
Set the discover mode to enable/disable the application to search for available Turn servers in 
DNS. Before making calls, the system will test if port allocation is possible.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Off:  Set to Off to disable discovery mode.
On:  When set to On, the system will search for available Turn servers in DNS, and before 
making calls the system will test if port allocation is possible.
Example:
 SIP Profile Turn DiscoverMode: On
SIP Profile [1..1] Turn BandwidthProbe
Not applicable in this version.
SIP Profile [1..1] Turn DropRflx

a SIP CA-list can be uploaded to the video system. If no such CA-list is available on the 
system then anonymous Diffie Hellman will be used.
Auto:  The system will try to connect using transport protocols in the following order: TLS, 
T C P,  U D P.
Example:
 SIP Profile 1 DefaultTransport: Auto
SIP Profile [1..1] TlsVerify
For TLS connections a SIP CA-list can be uploaded to the video system. This can be done from 
the web interface.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Off:  Set to Off to allow TLS connections without verifying them. The TLS connections are 
allowed to be set up without verifying the x.509 certificate received from the server against 
the local CA-list. This should typically be selected if no SIP CA-list has been uploaded.

Video Input Source [1..3] PresentationSelection
In general, any input source can be used as a presentation source; normally, the main camera 
(self view) will not be used as a presentation source.
This setting is used to define whether to display the presentation source on the local video 
system's display automatically or not. To share the presentation with the far end always requires 
additional action (tap Start Presenting on the Touch controller or the Presentation key on the 
remote control). The default value for all input sources is Manual.
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Manual:  The content on the input source will not be presented on the local video system's 
display before you select it. Use either the remote control or the Touch controller to choose 
which input source to present.
Automatic:  Any content on the input source will be presented on the local video system's 
display automatically. If there is active content on more than one input source (which is set to 
Automatic) the most recent one will be used. 
Hidden:  The input source is not expected to be used as a presentation source.
Example:
 Video Input Source 1 PresentationSelection: Manual
Video Input Source [1..3] CameraControl Mode
Select whether or not to enable camera control for the selected video input source when the

Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Range:  Select the ID of the camera in the Visca chain.
Example:
 Video Input Source 1 CameraControl CameraId: 1
Video Input Source [1..3] OptimalDefinition Profile
The Video Input Source Quality setting must be set to Motion for the optimal definition settings 
to take any effect. 
The optimal definition profile should reflect the lighting conditions in your room and the quality 
of the video input (camera); the better the lighting conditions and video input, the higher the 
profile. Then, in good lighting conditions, the video encoder will provide better quality (higher 
resolution or frame rate) for a given call rate.
Generally, we recommend using the Normal or Medium profiles. However, when the lighting 
conditions are good, the High profile can be set in order to increase the resolution for a given 
call rate.
Some typical resolutions used for different optimal definition profiles, call rates and transmit 
frame rates are shown in the table below. It is assumed that dual video is not used. The 
resolution must be supported by both the calling and called systems. 
Use the Video Input Source OptimalDefinition Threshold60fps setting to decide when to use the 
60 fps frame rate.
  .
Requires user role:  ADMIN
Value space:  
Normal:  Use this profile for a normally to poorly lit environment. Resolutions will be set rather 
conservative.
Medium:  Requires good and stable lighting conditions and a good quality video input. For 
some call rates this leads to higher resolution.
High:  Requires nearly optimal video conferencing lighting conditions and a good quality video 
input in order to achieve a good overall experience. Rather high resolutions will be used.
