You can set your presence to this anytime you want.
Stepping away from the computer for a few moments. You can also set this status when you want others to know you’re in your office even though the computer is idle. Set automatically for you based on your keyboard activity or Outlook calendar. If you have experience configuring the Westell 6200, post something in the TalkBack or send me an email.Tip: The presence statuses are pre-set in Skype for Business, which means you can’t create a custom status, but you can give your contacts more details about where you are or what you’re doing by adding a personal note. I guess that my next step is to configure the Port Mapping or Port Forwarding on the Westell 6200. Make sure the port forward on your firewall matches your local IP address (this isn't your external IP address found at, or, it's your local LAN IP address like 192.168.1.x or 10.x.x.).If you're running a local firewall, make sure that's set to allow incoming & outgoing traffic on the same port UDP & TCP.If it still doesn't work, try adding a TCP port forward on the same port / IP Ensure your port forward # matches the port # in Skype.Add a rule to forward traffic on the port you selected above to you IP Address.Locate the Port Mapping or Port Forwarding configuration page.You'll need to know your current IP address for this step. Un-select the option to connect on ports 80 & 443.Choose a "high port" (any number between 106.) Go into Skype Preferences > Advanced > Incoming Connection Port.This step ensures that the UDP packets that Skype uses to transmit voice data travels over the port you specify: If you are behind a standard (NAT) firewall, configure it to forward traffic on this port directly to your machine.But doesn't this only applies to two-person calls? What about conference calls? Direct connections are accomplished by: Update: Some suggested Skype performance tweaks after the jump.Īccording to Skype direct connections are preferable. I really enjoy recording podcasts but I just don't have the (personal) bandwidth to fight with Skype much more. If you're a Skype ninja that's had good luck with conference calls over on your Mac I'd love to hear about your best practices. My Internet connection is garden-variety Verizon ADSL, I always reboot all hardware before starting and connect directly to the Westell 2600 ADSL modem via Ethernet (no WiFi). I'm using a modern MBP with plenty of RAM running 10.5.2 and the latest version of Skype (2.7.0.257). Nothing has really changed with my setup. Ironically, I can hear them just fine (and a couple of them are on ADSL connections). The people on the other end of the call complain that I get staticy, echoy, and borg-sounding. My Skype connection usually works fine for the first three to five minutes then voice quality drops off dramatically. I've used Skype almost weekly to record 70 episodes of the PowerPage Podcast with good results but in the past few months I haven't been able to make it work with my Verizon DSL connection at home.

I've been using the venerable VOIP client on my MacBook Pro almost since it came out without many issues – until recently.
