Use this object to create and configure a call admission control (CAC) profile providing the ability for each SIP registered or static endpoint to have individualized limits on the number of active calls and the call rate.

A limit on active calls (CALL LIMIT) is applied to calls in either the ingress or egress direction, whereas policing controls (RATE, BURST-SIZE) apply to ingress and egress calls separately.

SIP CAC Profile Parameters:

Parameter

Length/Range

Description

Name

1-23 characters

The name of the SIP Call Admission Control (CAC) profile you are configuring. 

State

N/A

The administrative state of this SIP CAC Profile:

  • Disabled (default)
  • Enabled

NOTE: Setting a SIP CAC profile state to "Disabled" does not disable SIP CAC functionality on IP Peers to which the SIP CAC profile is assigned. To disable SIP CAC functionality on a specific IP Peer, disassociate the SIP CAC profile from the IP Peer.

Default is unlimited

Bandwidth Limit Threshold

0-100

The bandwidth limit value in percentage. Default = 0.

Bandwidth Video  Threshold

0-100
