answer with the AutoAttendant. You will need to activate your IP extension as described in
section 2.1.
Leave the other configuration parameters of the Internet Switchboard as default values. One
parameter you may have to change is the compression codec to be used – by default, you should
go with G.723.1 with 30ms jitter buffer setting, but for some reason if you are not getting a good
quality voice connection, you can experiment with different jitter buffer settings or with G.711
codec.
The other parameter that may require tweaking in some installations is echo cancellation setting.
You can adjust the echo cancellation settings from the Internet Switchboard software's GUI.

AltiGen is testing Siemens LP5100 phone for use as an IP extension with the AltiServ system.
LP5100 is a standalone, Ethernet (10 Base T) based, standard H.323 phone. The main advantage
with the Siemens phone is that it does not require a PC to function.
