MODULES (ADPCM-32) > STATUS > ALGORITHM
Read security: 5
Denotes the voice compression algorithm being used by the packet voice device. Voice data may be
encoded using any of a variety of compression algorithms or codecs. The codec for an individual call is
selected when the connection is configured. When ATLAS 550 assigns a packet voice device to a
particular call, the that packet voice devise is switched to the proper codec. Refer to the Frame Relay menu
section of this manual for more information.
MODULES (ADPCM-32) > STATUS > CONNECTION
Read security: 5
Helps identify a suspect packet voice device if a particular call reports poor quality. The displayed packet
identifier and the dial plan endpoint identify the call using this packet voice device.
MODULES (ADPCM-32) > CONFIG
Write security: 4; Read security: 5
Provides diagnostic tools for suspected problems; under normal operation, users do not configure the
packet voice devices.
MODULES (ADPCM-32) > CONFIG > CONFIGURE ADPCM-32 DEVICES
Write security: 4; Read security: 5
Contains configuration parameters for individual ADPCM-32 devices.
MODULES (ADPCM-32) > CONFIG > CONFIGURE ADPCM-32 DEVICES > DEVICE
Read security: 5
Indicates the resource number of the packet voice device listed. On the ATLAS 550, packet voice devices
are numbered 1-24.
MODULES (ADPCM-32) > CONFIG > CONFIGURE ADPCM-32 DEVICES > STATE
Write security: 3; Read security: 5
Controls the configuration state of the individual packet voice device. The ATLAS 550 determines the
initial configuration state of each device. ATLAS uses this configuration information to determine which
packet voice devices are functional and may be used, which are defective and should not be used, or which
are not present on the module and should not be used. Users who suspect an individual packet voice device
of improper operation can manually disable that device to prevent ATLAS from attempting to use it. The
Some voice compression standards may be used only under specific licensing
arrangements due to existing patents. The ATLAS 550 provides complete management of
these licensed resources; therefore, users are not required to take additional steps to
ensure conformance with licensing provisions. For example, the ATLAS 550 manages its
resources so users never exceed the maximum licensed number of simultaneous
connections.
