Review Voice Quality Considerations
For best speech quality we recommend not using the older CTX analog line cards for CTX IP
telephone connections. If these cards are used, IP telephones will experience fair or bad voice
quality. (See “Dos and Don’ts for Setting Up the System” on page 9-2.)
The amount of bandwidth required for communications over a particular IP network segment
depends on the number of voice channels supported, the anticipated call setup traffic, and how
much other data network traffic is present.
The quality of service (Excellent, Good, Fair, and Bad) provided by CTX IP Telephones and CTX
IP QSIG channels depends heavily on the LAN parameters as shown in Table 9-1.

1. Ratings of Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor were based on the tester in a quiet room and the tester could not see the other call
party. IPT is usable even with a "Poor" rating if delay is acceptable.

2. When selecting router equipment, the Latency, Jitter, Packet loss and Packet error conditions above should be considered as
well as the bandwidth. Bandwidth can be calculated with the CODEC and packet size. For better results, more bandwidth may
be required, depending on the amount of overall data traffic. For more details on QoS refer to “A Handbook for Successful
VoIP Deployment: Network Testing, QoS, and More” by John Q. Walker, NetIQ Corporation on www.netiq.com.

Quality of Service (Excellent, Good, etc). This bandwidth includes header and control information and a 25% margin for
network traffic variances.
