Gigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / web_server.fm / 24.04.2009
Version 8, 03.09.2008
Area: Settings for Connections
In this area you can make specific settings for each of your VoIP phone num-
bers.
You can make the following settings for each VoIP phone number configured
on your phone:
Volume for VoIP Calls
Depending on the VoIP provider, it is possible that the received voice/earpiece
volume is too low or too high, so that adjusting the volume via the handset is
not adequate.
Specify whether the received volume range is too high or too low. The follow-
ing options are available:
Low
Voice/earpiece volume is too high. Activate this option to reduce the volume
by 6 dB.
Normal
The voice/earpiece volume does not need to be raised/lowered.
High
Voice/earpiece volume is too low. Activate this option to increase the vol-
ume by 6 dB.
Voice codecs
Prerequisite: The Own Codec preference option is activated for the Voice Quality
in the
Settings for Bandwidth area.
Select the voice codecs your phone is to use, and specify the order in which the
codecs are to be suggested when a VoIP connection is established via this VoIP
phone number.
¤ Apply the voice codecs that your phone is to suggest for outgoing calls into
the Selected codecs list.
To do this, in the
Available codecs list select the voice codec that you want to
apply (you can mark several entries using the Shift key or the Ctrl key).
Select
<Add.
¤ Move the voice codecs that you do not want the phone to use into the
Available codecs list.
Select the voice codecs in the
Selected codecs list (see above) and click the
Remove
> button.
¤ Sort the voice codecs in the
Selected codecs list into the order in which they
should be suggested to the receiving device when a connection is estab-
lished. To do this, use the
Up and Down buttons.
When establishing a VoIP connection, the phone suggests the 1st voice codec
in the
Selected codecs list to the receiving device to begin with. If the receiving
device does not accept this voice codec (e.g. because it is not supported), the
2nd voice codec on the list is suggested, and so on.
If the receiving device does not accept any of the voice codecs in the
Selected
codecs
list, the connection is not established. An appropriate message is dis-
played on the handset.
