| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 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  | 
| 
 | 
 | 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. | 
| Tone |

| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Offhook | 0 – 3000 | The length of time that must elapse before the offhook alert is triggered and a call | 
| Alert | seconds | is automatically made to the phone number listed in the Phone Number field. |

| 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. |
