DESCRIPTION

 

 

Min-SE

When two SIP devices negotiate a SIP session, they must negotiate a common

 

expiration time for idle SIP sessions. This field sets the shortest expiration time that

 

the Prestige will accept. The Prestige checks the session expiration values of

 

incoming SIP INVITE requests against the minimum session expiration value that

 

you configure here. If the session expiration of an incoming INVITE request is less

 

than the value you configure here, the Prestige negotiates with the other SIP

 

device to increase the session expiration value to match the Prestige’s minimum

 

session expiration value.

RTP Port Range

Real time Transport Protocol is used to handle voice data transfer. Use these fields

 

to configure the Prestige’s listening port range for RTP traffic. Leave these fields

 

set to the defaults if you were not given a range of RTP ports to use.

Preferred

Use this field to select the type of voice coder/decoder (codec) that you want the

Compression

Prestige to use. G.711 provides higher voice quality than G.729 but requires

Type

64kbps of bandwidth while G.729 only requires 8kbps.

 

Select G.711>G.729 if you want the Prestige to first attempt to use the G.711

 

codec and then the G.729 codec if the peer is not set up to use G.711.

 

Select G.711 only if you want the Prestige to only use the G.711 codec when

 

making VoIP calls. You will not be able to connect to a peer that is not set up to use

 

G.711.

 

Select G.729>G.711 if you want the Prestige to first attempt to use the G.729

 

codec and then the G.711 codec if the peer is not set up to use G.729.

 

Select G.729 only if you want the Prestige to only use the G.729 codec when

 

making VoIP calls. You will not be able to connect to a peer that is not set up to use

 

G.729.

DTMF Mode

The Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) mode sets how the Prestige handles the

 

tones that your telephone makes when you push its buttons. It is recommended

 

that you use the same mode that your VoIP service provider uses.

 

Select RFC 2833 to send the DTMF tones in RTP packets.

 

Select PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) to include the DTMF tones in the voice data

 

stream. This method works best when you are using a codec that does not use

 

compression (like G.711). Codecs that use compression (like G.729) could distort

 

the tones.

 

Select SIP INFO to send the DTMF tones in SIP messages.

10.4 Quality of Service (QoS)

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the networking methods used to provide bandwidth for real-time multimedia applications.

10.4.1 Type Of Service (ToS)

Network traffic can be classified by setting the ToS (Type Of Service) values at the data source (for example, at the Prestige) so a server can decide the best method of delivery, that is the least cost, fastest route and so on.
