Table 185 Voice Features

Country Code

Phone standards and settings differ from one country to another, so the settings

 

on your ZyXEL Device must be configured to match those of the country you

 

are in. The country code feature allows you to do this by selecting the country

 

from a list rather than changing each setting manually. Configure the country

 

code feature when you move the ZyXEL Device from one country to another.

 

 

Distinctive Ringing

With the distinctive ring feature, you can assign different ringing tones to

 

different incoming calls, based either on the number that calls you or from

 

where the call originates (SIP, PSTN or internal). Use this feature to let you

 

know where a call comes from before you answer it.

 

 

Do not Disturb

This feature allows you to set your phone not to ring when someone calls you.

(DnD)

You can set each phone independently using its keypad, or configure global

 

settings for all phones using the command line interpreter.

 

 

Hot Line

You can set the ZyXEL Device to automatically dial a specified number

 

immediately whenever you lift a phone off the hook. Use the Web Configurator

 

to set the specified number. Use the command line interpreter to have the

 

ZyXEL Device wait a specified length of time before dialing the number.

 

 

Music on hold

This feature allows you to put a call on hold and have the other person hear a

 

piece of audio (music, speech, etc.) you previously recorded.

 

 

Phone config

The phone config table allows you to customize the phone keypad combinations

 

you use to access certain features on the ZyXEL Device, such as call waiting,

 

call return, call forward, etc. The phone config table is configurable in command

 

interpreter mode.

 

 

Internal call

When you have phones attached to both of the ZyXEL Device’s phone ports,

 

you can dial “####” to call all the phones connecting to the ZyXEL Device’s

 

phone ports. You can also assign each phone connected to the ZyXEL Device

 

an extension number and place a internal call to a specific phone.

 

 

HTTP Pincode

When new firmware is available for your ZyXEL Device, you hear a recorded

 

message when you pick up the phone. Enter *99# in your phone’s keypad to

 

have the ZyXEL Device upgrade the firmware, or enter #99# to not upgrade. If

 

your service provider gave you different numbers to use, enter them instead. If

 

you enter the code to not upgrade, you can make a call as normal. You will hear

 

the recording again each time you pick up the phone, until you upgrade.

 

 

Call waiting

This feature allows you to hear an alert when you are already using the phone

 

and another person calls you. You can then either reject the new incoming call,

 

put your current call on hold and receive the new incoming call, or end the

 

current call and receive the new incoming call.

 

 

Call forwarding

With this feature, you can set the ZyXEL Device to forward calls to a specified

 

number, either unconditionally (always), when your number is busy, or when

 

you do not answer. You can also forward incoming calls from one specified

 

number to another.

 

 

Caller ID

The ZyXEL Device supports caller ID, which allows you to see the originating

 

number of an incoming call (on a phone with a suitable display).

 

 

Trunking

Trunking connects an IP network (like the Internet) with the regular telephone

 

network (PSTN). The main advantage of trunking is that you can call your

 

ZyXEL Device on the PSTN network, and then use it to make a VoIP phonecall.

 

For example, if you have a ZyXEL Device at your office you can call into it from

 

your cellphone and use it to make a long-distance or international VoIP call at a

 

reduced cost.

 

 

REN

A Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of

 

devices (like telephones or fax machines) that may be connected to the

 

telephone line. Your device has a REN of three, so it can support three devices

 

per telephone port.

 

 

Dynamic Jitter

The built-in adaptive buffer helps to smooth out the variations in delay (jitter) for

Buffer

voice traffic. This helps ensure good voice quality for your conversations.
