Spontania
“Logged In” Option
This shows the same kind of information explained in the “Logged In” option of the General Menu,
but is limited to information related only to the Spontania service.
“Areas” Option
Areas can be thought of as departments or groups within a company. When a session is created a
moderator, it must belong to an area that will manage it; therefore, areas must be created before
proceeding with the creation of any sessions.
Clicking on the “Areas” option the following screen will appear:
First the total number of areas created in the system is listed.
Next, there is a list of areas with their most relevant information: area name, person in charge with
his or her email address and the services that can be managed within these areas.
You can access the menu for area modification by clicking on the area name; this will show all the
data that identifies an area, as well as the default values that the session belonging to this area will
inherit.
Another field that appears here is ABM, which must show one of two values: “Yes” or “No”. To
change this value you must go to the Area Modification menu.
ABM, integrated into the Spontania server, optimizes the quality of the videoconference system, in
real time, by automatically controlling the videostreaming parameters sent to the user’s device
maintaining a balance between network resources (bandwidth) and service quality.
An area is created with a set of services ‐ and any session belonging to that area will inherit these
services by default. A service will never be activated in any room not assigned to the area upon its
creation. The administrator is the only person that has the ability to increase the available services in
an area, since he or she is the only one who has access to the management of all the areas.
The operations that can be implemented for an area are: creation, modification and deletion. There
is no limit to the number of areas that can be created, as long as you are logged in as the
general
