Configuring Quality of Service for Office Communicator Phone Edition

Topic Last Modified: 2009-03-05

You can refine audio quality for Office Communicator Phone Edition users in the pool by configuring Quality of Service settings.

Warning

For optimum quality of service, we recommend that you do not change the default Voice QoS value or the default 801.2p Voice setting.

To configure Quality of Service for Microsoft Office Communicator Phone Edition

  1. Open the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in.

  2. In the console tree, expand the Forest node, and then do one of the following:

    • If you are configuring a Standard Edition server, expand Standard Edition Servers, right-click the Standard Edition pool that you want to configure (not the server itself but the pool-level node for that server), point to Properties, and then click Front End Properties.
    • If you are configuring an Enterprise pool, expand Enterprise Pools, expand the pool that you want to configure, right-click Front Ends, and then click Properties.

  3. On the Voice tab, next to Advanced options, click Configure.

  4. In the Advanced Voice Options dialog box, under Quality of Service, accept the default values for Voice QoS value and 802.1p Voice or type new values. Acceptable value ranges are shown in Table 1.
