Voice Activity Detection/Silence Suppression
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) detects whether or not speech is present. This lets the Router reduce
th
e bandwidth that a call uses by not transmitting “silent packets” when you are not speaking.
Comfort Noise Generation
When using VAD, the Router generates comfort noi
se when the other party is not speaking. The
comfort noise lets you know that the line is still connected as total silence could easily be mistaken
for a lost connection.
Echo Cancellation
G.168 is an ITU-T standard for eliminating the echo c
aused by the sound of your voice reverberating
in the telephone receiver while you talk.
MWI (Message Waitin
g Indication)
Enable Message Waiting Indication (MWI) enables your phone to give
you a message–waiting
(beeping) dial tone when you have a voice message(s). Your VoIP service provider must have a
messaging system that sends message waiting status SIP packets as defined in RFC 3842.
Custom Tones (IVR)
IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is a featur
e that allows you to use your telephone to interact with
the Router. The Router allows you to record custom tones for the Early Media and Music On Hold
functions. The same recordings apply to both the caller ringing and on hold tones.
