Configuring QoS for IP Packets
It is possible for IP networks to prioritize and differentiate between data packets transmitted through
routers across networks. This is useful because in modern data networks many different IP services
like email, voice, web pages, video and streaming music coexist within the same network
infrastructure.
Prioritizing IP Data Packets when Broadcasting
IP audio data packets can be programmed for expedited or assured forwarding (Quality of Service or
QoS) when traversing different networks. Routers can also be programmed to ignore these
forwarding priorities so they are not assured across all networks.
The codec can be programmed to tag IP data packets sent across a network by entering a value
into the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field within the header of data packets
transmitted over the network. Check with your IT administrator before changing this setting. By
default the codec is programmed for Assured Forwarding and more details about DSCP are available
on Wikipedia at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dscp
Configuring QoS
1. Press the
SETTINGS
button.
2. Use the navigation buttons to select
System
and press the
button.
3. Navigate to
IP QoS
, then press the
button and use the
RETURN
button to delete the
DSCP value already entered, then use the numeric
KEYPAD
to enter the new setting.
4. Press the
button to save the new setting.
Important Note:
To ensure the continuous and regular flow of tagged data packets along
the path from point-to-point, all routers and switching equipment must allow the QoS
DSCP setting. Any bandwidth partitioning schemes should partition over a small interval
to ensure the codec jitter buffer does not empty and audio remains continuous.

Tieline G3 Profile Compatibility
The codec is able to support dialing to Tieline Commander and i-Mix G3 codecs in various modes:
1.
Automatic
: The codec will dial the G3 codec and connect in mono or stereo. This is
overridden in a Merlin or Merlin PLUS codec when a G3 Main + IFB use-case is configured.
2.
Dual Program
: This allows the codec to dial a G3 codec with a Dual Program profile loaded
and support two simultaneous mono connections.
3.
Runtime
: The G3 codec will retain runtime settings when answering a call from a G5 codec.
4.
Custom
: The G3 codec will load a profile specified, e.g. profile 6, which is the first custom
profile number.
