Enabling Call Admission Control

• To enable CAC

To enable Call Admission Control, use the Set-CsNetworkConfiguration cmdlet and set the EnableBandwidthPolicyCheck parameter to True:

Set-CsNetworkConfiguration –Identity global –EnableBandwidthPolicyCheck $True

To disable Call Admission Control, set the EnableBandwidthPolicyCheck parameter to False:

Set-CsNetworkConfiguration –Identity global –EnableBandwidthPolicyCheck $False

Enabling Media Bypass

• To enable and configure media bypass

To enable media bypass for Call Admission Control, you must first use the Get-CsNetworkConfiguration cmdlet to create an object reference to your current media bypass settings. You can modify those bypass settings in memory, then use the Set-CsNetworkConfiguration cmdlet to write the changes to Lync Server:

$x = (Get-CsNetworkConfiguration).MediaBypassSettings

$x.AlwaysBypass = $True

$x.Enabled = $True

$x.InternalBypassMode = "Any"

Set-CsNetworkConfiguration -MediaBypassSettings $x

A similar process is used to disable media bypass for Call Admission Control:

$x = (Get-CsNetworkConfiguration).MediaBypassSettings

$x.AlwaysBypass = $False

$x.Enabled = $False

$x.InternalBypassMode = $Null

Set-CsNetworkConfiguration -MediaBypassSettings $x

Configuring Location Policy

• To view location policies

To view all your location policies, use the Set-CsLocationPolicy cmdlet:

Get-CsLocationPolicy

This command retrieves all the location policies configured at the site scope:

Get-CsLocationPolicy –Filter "site:*"

And this command retrieves the specified per-user location policy:

Get-CsLocationPolicy –Identity "RedmondLocationPolicy"

• To create a new location policy

To create a new location policy, use the New-CsLocationPolicy cmdlet:

New-CsLocationPolicy -Identity site:Redmond -EnhancedEmergencyServicesEnabled $True

Location policies can be created at either the site or the per-user scope.

• To modify a location policy

To modify a location policy, use the Set-CsLocationPolicy cmdlet:

Set-CsLocationPolicy -Identity site:Redmond -EnhancedEmergencyServicesEnabled $False

• To delete a location policy

To delete a location policy, use the Remove-CsLocationPolicy cmdlet:

Remove-CsLocationPolicy -Identity site:Redmond

The following command removes all the location policies configured at the site scope:

Get-CsLocationPolicy –Filter "site:*" | Remove-CsLocationPolicy

And this command removes all the location policies configured at the per-user scope:

Get-CsLocationPolicy –Filter "tag:*" | Remove-CsLocationPolicy

Configuring Bandwidth Policy Profile

• To create a new bandwidth policy profile

To create a new bandwidth policy profile use the New-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile cmdlet:

New-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile -Identity LowBWLimits -AudioBWLimit 2000 -AudioBWSessionLimit 200 -VideoBWLimit 1400 -VideoBWSessionLimit 500

• To modify a bandwidth policy profile

To modify a bandwidth policy profile, use the Set-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile cmdlet:

Set-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile -Identity LowBWLimits -AudioBWLimit 1000

• To delete a bandwidth policy profile

To delete a bandwidth policy profile, use the Remove-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile cmdlet:

Remove-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile -Identity LowBWLimits

This command deletes all your bandwidth policy profiles:

Get-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile | Remove-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile

For more information

• Get-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile


• New-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile


• Remove-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile


• Set-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile

Configuring Network Regions

• To create a network region

To create a network region use the New-CsNetworkRegion cmdlet. Note that each new region must be associated with a central site:

New-CsNetworkRegion -Identity NorthAmerica -Description "All North American Locations" -CentralSite Redmond-NA-MLS -AudioAlternatePath $False -VideoAlternatePath $False

• To modify a network region

To modify an existing network region, use the Set-CsNetworkRegion cmdlet:

Set-CsNetworkRegion -Identity EMEA -VideoAlternatePath $False
