SmartSwitch 1800 Voice Configuration

Minimum Voice Rate

This Þeld speciÞes the minimum operating rate (in bits per second) of all voice channels when congestion occurs. The default value for this parameter is 4800 bps.

Maximum Voice Rate

This Þeld speciÞes the maximum operating digitization rate (in bits per second) of all voice channels. The default value for this parameter is 64000 bps.

Changing Parameter Values

You can edit the values in any Þeld which provides a text box or menu button selection; to do so:

1.To edit a text field, remove the existing value and enter the new value.

2.To edit a field with a menu button, click on the button to display a list of options, then drag down to select the option you want.

3.Click on to save your changes.

NOTE

After you have made system-level changes (such as conÞguring voice parameters), you must apply those changes by rebooting the FRX or SmartSwitch 1800 device, or through console management via the [F7] command.

Speed Dial Configuration

The Voice Speed Dial ConÞguration window contains the dial numbers (similar to telephone numbers) that can be used to call remote devices. The table associates each of these numbers (called long-dial numbers) with a shorter (usually) speed-dial number that can be used to call the device, as well as any conÞgured extended-dial digits that will be forwarded by the device.

To access the window:

1.Click on to display the Device menu.

2.Drag down to Voice Speed Dial Configuration, and release. The Voice Speed Dial Configuration window,Figure 12-2, will appear.
