Priority 0 is a higher priority than Priority 1.

Network Audio Quality Display on 1600 Series IP Telephones

All 1600 Series IP Telephones give the user an opportunity to monitor network audio performance while on a call. For more information, see the telephone user guide.

While on a call, the telephones display network audio quality parameters in real-time, as shown

in Table 4:

Table 4: Parameters in Real-Time

Parameter

Possible Values

 

 

Received Audio Coding

G.711, G.711u, G.711a, G.726, G.729A, or G.729B.

 

 

Packet Loss

"No data" or a percentage. Late and out-of-sequence packets

 

are counted as lost if they are discarded. Packets are not

 

counted as lost until a subsequent packet is received and the

 

loss confirmed by the RTP sequence number.

Packetization Delay

"No data" or an integer number of milliseconds. The number

 

reflects the amount of delay in received audio packets, and

 

includes any potential delay associated with the codec.

 

 

One-way Network Delay

"No data" or an integer number of milliseconds. The number is

 

one-half the value RTCP computes for the round-trip delay.

Network Jitter

"No data" or an integer number of milliseconds reporting the

Compensation Delay

average delay introduced by the jitter buffer of the telephone.

 

 

The implication for LAN administration depends on the values the user reports and the specific nature of your LAN, like topology, loading, and QoS administration. This information gives the user an idea of how network conditions affect the audio quality of the current call. Avaya assumes you have more detailed tools available for LAN troubleshooting.

IP Address Lists and Station Number Portability

The 1600 Series IP Telephones provide the capability to specify IP address lists. On startup or a reboot, the telephone attempts to establish communication with these various network elements in turn. The telephone starts with the first address on the respective list. If the communication is denied or times out, the telephone proceeds to the next address on the appropriate list and tries that one. The telephone does not report failure unless all the addresses on a given list fail, thereby improving the reliability of IP telephony.
