Topic Last Modified: 2012-10-19

After you have configured your network settings for call admission control deployment, you must enable CAC to put your bandwidth policies into effect.

For details, see the Lync Server Management Shell documentation for the following cmdlets:

• Get-CsNetworkConfiguration

• Set-CsNetworkConfiguration

• Remove-CsNetworkConfiguration

To enable call admission control by using Management Shell

1. Start the Lync Server Management Shell: Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2013, and then click Lync Server Management Shell.

2. Run the Set-CsNetworkConfiguration cmdlet to enable CAC in your network. For example, run:

   Set-CsNetworkConfiguration -EnableBandwidthPolicyCheck 1
   

   If you want to disable CAC in your network, run the following:

   Set-CsNetworkConfiguration -EnableBandwidthPolicyCheck 0
   

To enable call admission control by using Lync Server Control Panel

1. Open a browser window, and then enter the Admin URL to open the Lync Server Control Panel. For details about the different methods you can use to start Lync Server Control Panel, see Open Lync Server 2013 administrative tools.
