This field contains the number of voice frames to be transmitted in a single packet. When setting this value, the user should be aware of the requested packet time (used in SDP message) as a result of configuring this parameter. This parameter is associated with the first vocoder in the above vocoder Preference List or the actual used payload type negotiated between the 2 conversation parties at run time.

e.g., if the first vocoder is configured as G723 and the “Voice Frames per TX” is set to be 2, then the “ptime” value in the SDP message of an INVITE request will be 60ms because each G723 voice frame contains 30ms of audio.

Similarly, if this field is set to be 2 and if the first vocoder chosen is G729 or G711 or G726, then the “ptime” value in the SDP message of an INVITE request will be 20ms.

If the configured voice frames per TX exceeds the maximum allowed value, the HandyTone ATA will use and save the maximum allowed value for the corresponding first vocoder choice. The maximum value for PCM is 10(x10ms) frames; for G726, it is 20 (x10ms) frames; for G723, it is 32 (x30ms) frames; for G729/G728, 64 (x10ms) and 64 (x2.5ms) frames respectively.

This defines the encoding rate for G723 vocoder. By default, 6.3kbps rate is chosen.

This sets the iLBC size in 20ms or 30ms

This defines payload time for iLBC. Default value is 98. The valid range is between 96 and 127.

This controls the silence suppression/VAD feature of G723 and G729. If set to “Yes”, when a silence is detected, small quantity of VAD packets (instead of audio packets) will be sent during the period of no talking. If set to “No”, this feature is disabled.

This parameter controls whether the HandyTone ATA needs to send REGISTER messages to the proxy server. The default setting is “Yes”.

Default is No. If set to yes, the SIP user will be unregistered on reboot.

T.38 (Auto Detect) FoIP by default, or Pass-Through (must use codec PCMU/PCMA)

This field defines the layer 3 QoS parameter which can be the value used for IP Precedence or Diff-Serv or MPLS. Default value is 48.

This contains the value used for layer 2 VLAN tag. Default setting is blank.

Default is No. If set to Yes the client will use DNS SRV for server lookup

The Handy Tone 386 also comes equipped with advanced technologies such as QoS (Quality of Service) features. This functionality prioritizes voice traffic over other types of data, which is crucial for maintaining call clarity and reducing latency during voice communications. The implementation of secure encryption protocols, such as TLS and SRTP, further ensures that calls are secure and safe from potential eavesdropping or tampering.

With built-in NAT traversal capabilities, the Handy Tone 386 can handle complex network configurations, enabling easy integration into various home or business broadband setups. This makes for straightforward installation and usability, ensuring that users can quickly get up and running without extensive technical knowledge.

The device also includes an intuitive web-based user interface, allowing users to manage settings and configurations easily. This interface facilitates remote management, enabling adjustments to be made without requiring physical access to the unit.

In summary, the Grandstream Networks Handy Tone 386 is a versatile and powerful VoIP adapter. Its dual FXS ports, support for multiple VoIP protocols, QoS features, and security advancements make it a strong choice for users looking to transition to VoIP communication while maximizing their existing telephone infrastructure.
