Prestige 2002 Series User’s Guide

Voice Activity Detection/Silence Suppression

Voice Activity Detection (VAD) reduces the bandwidth that a call uses by not transmitting “silent packets” when you are not speaking.

Comfort Noise Generation

When the Prestige uses VAD, it generates and sends comfort (background) noise when you are not speaking.

Echo Cancellation

The Prestige supports G.168, an ITU-T standard for eliminating the echo caused by the sound of your voice reverberating in the telephone receiver while you talk.

QoS (Quality of Service)

Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms help to provide better service on a per-flow basis. The Prestige supports Type of Service (ToS) and Differentiated Services (DiffServ). This allows the Prestige to tag voice frames so they can be prioritized over the network.

Fax Tone Detection and Pass-through

The Prestige automatically detects fax messages and sends them over PCM G.711.

Auto-provisioning

Auto-provisioning automatically updates your Prestige’s configurable settings via a TFTP server.

Firmware Upgrades

Use the web configurator to upload updated firmware to your Prestige.

Your Prestige is designed for quick, intuitive and easy installation. Physically, its compact size and lightness make it easy to position anywhere in your busy office.
