help | 17 SwyxLink (Server-Server Connection) | Configuring a SwyxLink Trunk | Intersite Settings
Intersite Settings
In the field "Intersite Connection" you can specify which type of connection is involved.
Intersite connection
*Without any presence interaction
Choose "Without any presence interaction" if you want to disable status signaling across servers for this link.
*In the same organization
Choose "In the same organization" if you want to set up a connection to a SwyxServer that is within an organization. With this connection type, all groups and users on all connected sites are visible in the Global Phonebook. The relationships within the user and group properties must be used to specify precisely who should be signaled about the status of a user or group.
*From another organization
Choose "From another organization" if you want to set up a connection to a SwyxServer in a different organization. With this connection type, you can specify individual groups on your SwyxServer to be visible on the SwyxServer of the other organization. The relationships within the user and group properties must be used to specify precisely who should be signaled about the status of the users of a group. The administrator of the other server can take the corresponding action from his end, so that groups on his SwyxServer become visible on your site. Status signaling thus occurs only between users in selected groups. The users in these groups will also be displayed on both sites in the Global Phonebook.
Number synchronization
You use the "Number Synchronization" field to say whether internal, public or both numbers should be synchronized along with the user names between the different servers. A synchronization takes place automatically when changes have been made e.g. to user data, or when a SwyxServer has been restarted.
Data synchronization
In the "Data synchronization" field you can say whether the user pictures stored by the user should likewise be synchronized between the different servers. To save bandwidth, you can deactivate this option.
Use of the trunk
*Calls
If for some reason you do not want to make calls via this SwyxLink trunk, for instance if you have a flat rate for the PSTN, you can deactivate the "Calls" field. Status signaling via this SwyxLink trunk will then continue, but calls will be routed via the public telephone network (ISDN). If you deactivate this button, the trunk properties for Video, Collaboration and SwyxIt!Meeting below are deactivated automatically.
* 
If you have deactivated the "Calls" field, you should publish the public numbers. In this case, choose the option "Public numbers" in the call number synchronization field!
 
*Video
If you permit video telephony to users outside the local server, this box should be checked.
*Collaboration
If the box is checked, the screen of participants can be transmitted across multiple servers.
*SwyxIt! Meeting
The transfer of desktops via SwyxIt! Meeting may only be selected, when Collaboration is activated.
*Presence
If you deactivate the field "Presence", there is no further status signaling via this SwyxLink trunk. However, the users will still be displayed in the Global Phonebook of the connected SwyxServer.
*Instant Messaging
By activating this check box, it is possible to exchange instant messages with users not logged on to the local server. This feature can only be used, when "status information" is activated.
* 
Please note that enough bandwidth is required in order to use the Video and Collaboration (SwyxIt! Meeting) feature. If not enough bandwidth is available, deactivate these check boxes.
 
* 
Video and SwyxIt! Meeting connections between different SwyxServer locations require a direct connection of the SwyxIt! clients. Existing firewalls between the locations must be opened for the following ports:
Video (RTP, UDP): 50000-50999 (equivalent to the ports for voice transmission) SwyxIt! Meeting: As of port 49152 (dynamic TCP ports)
 
Group selection
If you have chosen a connection to a SwyxServer of another organization, you can specify individual groups to be visible on the SwyxServer site of the other organization.
Use the "Add" or "Delete" button to select groups, or remove previously added groups.
This is how you define an Intersite connection within your organization 
1 Click on "Intersite Settings...".
The "Intersite Settings" window will appear.
2 In the field "Intersite Connection", select "In the same organization".
3 Specify in the "Number synchronization" field whether internal, public or both numbers should be synchronized between the different SwyxServers. See also Numbers and Number Mappings.
4 In the "User Pictures" field you can say whether the user pictures stored by the user should likewise be synchronized between the different servers. To save bandwidth, you can deactivate this option.
5 Choose whether calls and/or presence should be routed via this link.
Calls:
*Deactivate the "Calls" field if calls are to be made via the ISDN trunk rather than this SwyxLink - if you have a flat rate for the PSTN for instance.
In this case, however, all users will still be shown in the Global Phonebook of linked SwyxServers, and the status will still be signaled according to the relationships configured in the user or group properties.
* 
If you have deactivated the "Calls" field, you should publish the public numbers. In this case, choose the option "Public numbers" in the number synchronization field!
 
Presence:
*If you deactivate the "Presence" field, you disable the status signaling. But all users will be displayed in the Global Phonebook of the linked SwyxServers.
6 Click on "OK" to store the Intersite settings for this link.
This is how you define an Intersite connection to another organization 
1 Click on "Intersite Settings...".
The "Intersite Settings" window will appear.
2 In the field "Intersite Connection", select "From another organization".
3 Specify in the "Number synchronization" field whether internal, public or both numbers should be synchronized between the different SwyxServers. See also Numbers and Number Mappings.
4 In the "User Pictures" field you can say whether the user pictures stored by the user should likewise be synchronized between the different servers. To save bandwidth, you can deactivate this option.
5 Choose whether calls and/or presence should be routed via this link.
Calls:
*Deactivate the "Calls" field if calls are to be made via the ISDN trunk rather than this SwyxLink - if you have a flat rate for the PSTN for instance.
In this case, however, all users in the groups selected in step (6) will still be shown in the Global Phonebook of linked SwyxServers, and the status will still be signaled according to the relationships configured in the user or group properties.
* 
If you have deactivated the "Calls" field, you should publish the public numbers. In this case, choose the option "Public numbers" in the number synchronization field!
 
Presence:
*If you deactivate the "Presence" field, you disable the status signaling, i. e. the status of all users in the groups selected in step (6) will no longer be displayed on the linked server. However, all users in these groups will still be shown in the Global Phonebook of the linked server.
6 Choose one or more groups that should be visible on the site of the linked SwyxServer. The users in these groups will be visible on the linked server in the Global Phonebook, and their status will be displayed there (if the "Presence" field has been activated).
7 Click on "OK" to store the Intersite settings for this link.
This is how you deactivate the display of status information 
1 Click on "Intersite Settings...".
The "Intersite Settings" window will appear.
2 In the field "Intersite Connection", select "Without any presence interaction".
3 Click on "OK" to store the Intersite settings for this link.
No further data is then visible on the other side of the link.
* 
If the data of the other SwyxServer site should likewise no longer be visible on your SwyxServer, the display of status information must similarly be deactivated on the other side.
