8.Click the SIP Accounts \ Add a New SIP Account \ Advanced tab and uncheck Send SIP keep alives.

9.Click the Media \ Audio \ Devices tab. Uncheck Enable VAD.

Disabling VAD creates a more natural audio sound, since the eyeBeam will transmit audio continuously rather than stopping transmission when it doesn't detect voice (which results in silence gaps). Note that disabling VAD increases the bandwidth used during phone calls since audio is always transmitting.

10.Click the Media \ Audio \ Advanced \ Codecs tab. The following codecs on the eyeBeam are supported by TeleVantage:

Q G711 uLaw.

Q G711 alaw.

Q GSM.

Q G729.

For best results, arrange the codecs in the Enabled Codecs pane in the same preference order as provided by your system administrator.

11.Choose the System \ General tab. Configure the following settings:

Q Auto answer. Enter the amount of time that the phone rings before connecting audio, when Auto Answer is enabled.

Q Auto Dial Enabled. If checked, you do not have to press the Dial button to initiate a call. Note that if you find auto dialing to be slow you can decrease the Minimum and Maximum Wait times.

12.Choose the Media \ Audio \ Devices tab. Under Microphone Settings and Speaker Settings, make sure that the correct audio devices on your PC are selected for voice capture and audio.

13.Click OK or Apply to save your changes. If the configuration has been made correctly the eyeBeam should show "Logged in - enter phone number" and "Your Number is <username>". In the Settings dialog box you should also see a submenu under SIP Accounts with the name/address of your TeleVantage Server.
