Chapter 7 Provisioning: Configuring QoS for IP Telephony
Viewing the Voice Ready Report
The Policy View page displays all voice policies together with non voice policies in the current policy group. For each voice policy, its associated voice role is displayed.
You can modify any of the properties and traffic rules of a voice policy, except for its device constraints. Changing the device constraints will cause the voice policy to lose its voice role.
In this case, the IP Telephony wizard will be unable to assign network elements to the voice policy. You edit a voice policy just like any policy. The difference is that when saving, QPM checks the device constraints of the voice policy. If any changes were made, you must save the voice policy as a regular policy without a voice role.
A full description of modifying policies is provided in Modifying a Policy, page

Viewing the Voice Ready Report
The Voice Ready report provides you with an overview of the system’s readiness for voice, displaying a list of all the configurable and nonconfigurable devices in the current device group.
The report displays the voice ready status of each device, and the reason for nonvoice readiness, where relevant. For a device to be “voice ready”, it must have all the required software and hardware to support QoS for voice and be supported by QPM.
Nonconfigurable devices do not have the required software or hardware to support QoS for voice, and/or are not supported by QPM. From this report, you can also view the properties of the devices in the list.
Note Some devices that appear as “voice ready” in the report may not be supported by the IP Telephony wizard. They must be configured manually by QPM.
We recommend that you view the Voice Ready report after adding or importing the devices in your IP telephony network to QPM’s device inventory, so that you can check whether your devices support voice QoS.
In the second step of the IP Telephony wizard, only the devices that support IP telephony features are displayed in a table. Devices that do not support IP telephony are not displayed. By opening the Voice Ready report, you can see all the devices in the current device group, including those that do not support QoS for voice.
To view the Voice Ready Report:
Step 1 In Step 2 (Select Devices) of the IP Telephony wizard, click the Voice Ready Report link
The Voice Ready report appears, displaying the voice status of each device and the reason for non voice readiness, where relevant.
Step 2 To view details about a device in the table, click the Sys Name link for the required device in the table.
The Device Properties page appears for the selected device.
