5.5.5 Configuring the Profile Definitions
Utilizing the Profiles feature, the Mediant 1000 provides high-level adaptation when
connected to a variety of equipment (from both Tel and IP sides) and protocols, each of
which requires a different system behavior. Using Profiles, users can assign different
Profiles (behavior) on a per-call basis, using the Tel to IP and IP to Trunk Group Routing
tables, or associate different Profiles to the gateway’s endpoints (analog modules) or B-
channels (digital modules). The Profiles contain parameters such as Coders, T.38 Relay,
Voice and DTMF Gains, Silence Suppression, Echo Canceler, RTP DiffServ, Current
Disconnect and more. The Profiles feature allows users to tune these parameters or turn
them on or off, per source or destination routing and/or the specific gateway or its ports.
For example, specific ports can be designated to have a profile which always uses G.711.
Each call can be associated with one or two Profiles: Tel Profile and (or) IP Profile. If both
IP and Tel profiles apply to the same call, the coders and other common parameters of the
preferred Profile (determined by the Preference option) are applied to that call. If the
Preference of the Tel and IP Profiles is identical, the Tel Profile parameters are applied.
Use the Profile Definitions submenu to configure profiles:
 Coder Group Settings (refer to Section 5.5.5.1 on page 106)
 Tel Profile Settings (refer to Section 5.5.5.2 on page 108)
 IP Profile Settings (refer to Section 5.5.5.3 on page 110)
Note: The default values of the parameters in the Tel and IP Profiles are identical
to the Web/ini file parameter values. If a value of a parameter is changed in
the Web/ini file, it is automatically updated in the Profiles correspondingly.
After any parameter in the Profile is modified by the user, modifications to
parameters in the Web/ini file no longer impact that Profile.
5.5.5.1 Coder Group Settings
Use the Coder Group Settings screen to define up to four different coder groups. These
coder groups are used in the Tel and IP Profile Settings screens to assign different coders
to Profiles.
For each group you can define the first to fifth preferred coders (and their attributes) for the
gateway. The first coder is the highest priority coder and is used by the gateway whenever
possible. If the far end gateway cannot use the coder assigned as the first coder, the
gateway attempts to use the next coder and so forth. For a list of coders supported by the
gateway, refer to Table 5-5 on page 74.
You can also configure the coder groups using the ini file parameter CoderName_ID (refer
to Section 6.5.7 on page 226).
