\fdministrators can configure the maximum call \Btime and bandwidth i\Bn Admi\bist\fato\f P\fefe\fe\bces : Calls. 
Managing Bandwidth
You can specify the \Bmaximum bandwidth th\Bat an outgoing or incoming \Bcall uses by setting the Outgoing Maximum 
Bandwidth and Incoming Maximum Bandwidth preferences in Admi\bist\fato\f P\fefe\fe\bces : Calls.

If a user specifies \B\futo for the bandwidth whe\Bn placing a call, the maximum outgoing bandwidth bec\Bomes the starting 
point for negotiating bandw\Bidth when the call c\Bonnects.
If you choose \futo as the value for the Outgoing Maximum Bandwidth and\B Incoming Maximum Bandwidth preferences and 
the user chooses \futo for the bandwidth whe\Bn placing the call, the system places the call \Bat 1152 kb/s.
The \futo Bandwidth preference addresses how the system responds to packet loss during a call.
