Configuring a Region
4. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Service Parameter Configuration
window displays.
5. Scroll down to Clusterwide Parameters (System - Location and Region) and configure the
parameters in this section.
6. Click the Save icon that displays in the tool bar in the upper, left corner of the window (or click the
Save button that displays at the bottom of the window).
Use the following procedure to add or update a region.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose System > Region.
The Region Configuration window displays.
Step 2 Perform one of the following tasks:
• To add a new region, click the Add New button and continue with Step 3.
• To update an existing region, locate the appropriate region as described in the “Finding a Region”
section on page 8-4 and continue with Step 3.
Note Cisco recommends that you reset devices after changing a region name.
Step 3 In the Name field, enter the name that you want to assign to the region.
Step 4 To save the new region in the database, click the Save icon that displays in the tool bar in the upper, left
corner of the window (or click the Save button that displays at the bottom of the window).
Step 5 To configure the default codecs to use within this region, click the name of this region to highlight it in
the Regions window pane.
a. From the Audio Codec drop-down list box, choose a default audio codec value to use within this
region.
The audio codec determines the type of compression and the maximum amount of bandwidth that is
allocated for these calls. See
Table 8-2 for a summary of the available codec types and bandwidth
usage.
b. In the Video Call Bandwidth column, click the appropriate radio button to configure the default
value to specify the video bandwidth to use for video calls within this region.
If you specify None, the system does not allow video calls.
c. From the Link Loss Type drop-down list box, choose a default link loss type to use within this
region.
Note For enhanced scalability, Cisco recommends that you properly set the default values in the
Clusterwide Parameters (System - Location and Region) section of the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration Service Parameters Configuration window for the
audio codec, video call bandwidth, and link loss type values and then choose Use System Default
in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Region Configuration window.
