Alert Parameters

 

 

 

 

Auto

AutoCall,

The AutoCall option enables the local MultiVOIP to place a call without the user

Call /

Offhook

having to dial a number. As soon as you access the local MultiVOIP voice/fax

Offhook

Alert

channel, the MultiVOIP immediately connects to the remote endpoint identified

Alert

 

in the Phone Number box of this option.

 

 

If the “Pass Through Enable” field is checked in the Interface Parameters screen,

 

 

AutoCall must be used.

 

 

The Offhook Alert option applies only to FXS channels.

 

 

The Offhook Alert option works like this: if a phone goes offhook and no

 

 

number is dialed within a specific period of time (as set in the Offhook Alert

 

 

Timer field), then that phone will automatically dial the Alert phone number for

 

 

the voip channel. (The Alert phone number must be set in the Voice/Fax

 

 

Parameters Phone Number field). One use of this feature would be for

 

 

emergency use where a user goes off hook but does not dial, possibly indicating

 

 

a crisis situation. The Offhook Alert feature uses the Intercept Tone, as listed in

 

 

the Regional Parameters screen. This tone will be output on the phone that was

 

 

taken off hook but that did not dial. The other end of the connection will hear

 

 

audio from the “crisis” end as it would during a normal phone call.

 

 

Both functions apply on a channel-by-channel basis. It would not be appropriate

 

 

for either of these functions to be applied to a channel that serves in a pool of

 

 

available channels for general phone traffic.

 

 

 

Generate

Y/N

Used for AutoCall only. If selected, dial tone will be generated locally while the

Local

 

call is being established between gateways. The capability to generate dial tone

Dial

 

locally would be particularly useful when there is a lengthy network delay.

Dynamic

Jitter

 

 

 

 

Dynamic

 

Dynamic Jitter defines a minimum and a maximum jitter value for voice

Jitter

 

communications. When receiving voice packets from a remote

Buffer

 

MultiVOIP, varying delays between packets may occur due to network

 

 

traffic problems. This is called Jitter. To compensate, the MultiVOIP uses

 

 

a Dynamic Jitter Buffer. The Jitter Buffer enables the MultiVOIP to wait

 

 

for delayed voice packets by automatically adjusting the length of the

 

 

Jitter Buffer between configurable minimum and maximum values. An

 

 

Optimization Factor adjustment controls how quickly the length of the

 

 

Jitter Buffer is increased when jitter increases on the network. The length

 

 

of the jitter buffer directly effects the voice delay between MultiVOIP

 

 

gateways.
