TABLE 10: ADVANCED CONFIGURATION PAGE DEFINITIONS
Admin Password
Administrator password. Only administrator can configure the “Advanced Settings”
page. Password field is purposely left blank for security reason after clicking update
and saved. The maximum password length is 25 characters.
Silence Suppression
This controls the silence suppression/VAD feature of G723 and G729. If set to
“Yes”, when a silence is detected, small quantity of VAD packets (instead of audio
packets) will be sent during the period of no talking. If set to “No”, this feature is
disabled.
Voice Frames per TX
This field contains the number of voice frames to be transmitted in a single Ethernet
packet (be advised the IS limit is based on the maximum size of Ethernet packet is
1500 byte (or 120kbps)).
When setting this value, be aware of the requested packet time (ptime, used in SDP
message) is a result of configuring this parameter. This parameter is associated
with the first codec in the above codec Preference List or the actual used payload
type negotiated between the 2 conversation parties at run time. e.g., if the first
codec is configured as G.723 and the “Voice Frames per TX” is set to 2, then the
“ptime” value in the SDP message of an INVITE request will be 60ms because each
G.723 voice frame contains 30ms of audio. Similarly, if this field is set to 2 and the
first codec is G.729 or G.711 or G.726, then the “ptime” value in the SDP message
of an INVITE request will be 20ms.
If the configured voice frames per TX exceeds the maximum allowed value, the BT
–200 will use and save the maximum allowed value for the corresponding first
codec choice. The maximum value for PCM is 10 (x10ms) frames; for G.726, it is 20
(x10ms) frames; for G.723, it is 32 (x30ms) frames; for G.729/G.728, 64 (x10ms)
and 64 (x2.5ms) frames respectively.
Grandstream recommends using the default settings. Grandstream does not
recommend adjusting these parameters if you are an average user. Incorrect
settings will affect the voice quality. Please refer to the Codec FAQ at
http://www.grandstream.com/FAQ/FAQ-Codec.pdf for more technical detail.
Layer 3 QoS
This field defines the layer 3 QoS parameter which can be the value used for IP
Precedence or Diff-Serv or MPLS. Default value is 48.
Layer 2 QoS
This contains the value used for layer 2 VLAN tag. Default setting is
blank.
No Key Entry
Timeout
Default is 4 seconds.
Use # as
Send Key
This parameter allows users to configure the “#” key as the “Send” (or “Dial”) key. If
set to “Yes”, the “#” key will immediately send the call. In this case, this key is
essentially equivalent to the “(Re)Dial” key. If set to “No”, the “#” key is included as
part of the dial string.
Local RTP port
This parameter defines the local RTP-RTCP port pair the BT200 will listen and
transmit. It is the base RTP port for channel 0. When configured, channel 0 will use
this port _value for RTP and the port_value+1 for its RTCP; channel 1 will use
port_value+2 for RTP and port_value+3 for its RTCP. The default value is 5004.
