support SRTP and/or TLS is not enabled, the IP Phone UIs do not display the lock icon,
indicating that the call may not be secure.
You can configure SRTP on a global or per-line basis using the configuration files or the Mitel
Web UI.
SILENCE SUPPRESSION
In IP telephony, silence on a line (lack of voice) uses up bandwidth when sending voice over
a packet-switched system. Silence suppression is encoding that starts and stops the times of
silence in order to eliminate that wasted bandwidth.
Silence suppression is enabled by default on the IP phones. The phone negotiates whether or
not to use silence suppression. Disabling this feature forces the phone to ignore any negotiated
value.
You can configure silence suppression on a global-basis using the configuration files or the
Mitel Web UI.
Option to Include/Remove Silence Suppression Attribute from SDP Offer
The parameter
sip remove silence suppression offer
is available allowing administrators the
ability to control whether or not the silence suppression attribute should be included in the
Session Description Protocol (SDP) offer.
If enabled (1), the silence suppression attribute will be removed from the SDP offer. If disabled
(0), the attribute will not be removed from the SDP offer. This parameter is disabled by default
and requires a reboot if the value of the parameter has changed. You can configure this
parameter using the configuration files only.
CONFIGURING RTP FEATURES
Use the following procedures to configure the RTP features on the IP phone.
For specific parameters you can set for RTP features in the configuration files, see Appendix
