To enable silence suppression using the Web interface:
1. Open the Voice Settings page ( Configuration tab > VoIP menu > Media > Voice
Settings ).

14.1.3 Echo Cancellation
The device supports adaptive linear (line) echo cancellation according to G.168-2002.
Echo cancellation is a mechanism that removes echo from the voice channel. Echoes are
reflections of the transmitted signal.
In this line echo, echoes are generated when two-wire telephone circuits (carrying both
transmitted and received signals on the same wire pair) are converted to a four-wire circuit.
Echoes are reflections of the transmitted signal, which result from impedance mismatch in
the hybrid (bi-directional 2-wire to 4-wire converting device).
An estimated echo signal is built by feeding the decoder output signal to an RLS-like
adaptive filter, which adapts itself to the characteristics of the echo path. The ‘estimated
echo signal’ (the output of this filter) is then subtracted from the input signal (which is the
sum of the desired input signal and the undesired echo) to provide a clean signal. To
suppress the remaining residual echo, a Non Linear Processor (NLP) is used, as well as a
double-talk (two people speak at the same time) detector that prevents false adaptation
during near-end speech.
The following procedure describes how to configure echo cancellation using the Web
interface:

To configure echo cancellation using the Web interface:
1. Configure line echo cancellation:
a. Open the Voice Settings page ( Configuration tab > VoIP menu > Media > Voice
Settings ).
b. Set the 'Echo Canceller' field ( EnableEchoCanceller ) to Enable .
Note: The following additional echo cancellation parameters are configurable only
through the ini file:
•
ECHybridLoss - defines the four-wire to two-wire worst-case Hybrid loss
•
ECNLPMode - defines the echo cancellation Non-Linear Processing (NLP) mode
•
EchoCancellerAggressiveNLP - enables Aggressive NLP at the first 0.5 second of
the call
