preventing access by non-protected functions. Only when your Internet WAN link is at maximum capacity, and you have many simultaneous calls in progress are your non-protected functions interrupted.

The drawback to using the maximum value for Voice Bandwidth is if you want to add another QoS group in the future to protect other traffic. You would have to lower the Voice group bandwidth to accommodate the new group.

Notes on video

The BSGX4e is capable of protecting a video IP stream under QoS. However, due to the unique technical aspects of IP video, professional assistance would be needed to set this up. The BSGX4e does process all types of video streams, but configuring the BSGX4e to guarantee uninterrupted service with QoS is what requires the professional assistance.

Video also requires large amounts of bandwidth. The typical Internet connection in a home or small office may not have enough bandwidth to ensure uninterrupted video transmission.

Step 7 Voice over IP Setup page

VoIP phones must connect to your VoIP service provider’s SIP server. The User Agent can also connect to the server. (The User Agent allows you to connect a standard, analog phone to the BSGX4e.)

zSIP Session Controller

Enter the Domain name (some.domain.com) or network address (123.456.7.89) of the server of your service provider.

Your service provider may also have a Proxy server (which improves the reliability of your Internet connection). If so, enter its domain name or network address.

Use the Set Default button to populate the

Port, Heartbeat, and Frequency fields unless

you have professional advice to use different settings.

Set the Maxcalls field to what your license agreement states. This is 10 or 30 calls.

zSIP User Agent

If your service provider supports a User Agent (sometimes called a “SIP gateway”), they supply the account login data needed for these fields.

Step 8 Finishing up page

After completing the last configuration page you are taken to the finishing page where you can go back through the pages to check any previous settings, or finish by saving the configuration into the BSGX4e’s memory.
