Silence suppression and comfort noise generation
Z-Edge 64 Configuration Guide
93
ITU-T recommendation I.366.2 specifies the use of a generic silence insertion
descriptor (SID) frame in the service specific convergence sublayer (SSCS) of
the ATM Adaption Layer Two (AAL2) cell header. The SID frame contains
information used for correctly inserting comfort noise during silent intervals
on the receiving side of the call. An audio profile that contains a SID frame
must be used to support silence suppression and comfort noise generation.
The ATM Forum has defined several audio profiles and preferred audio
profile (AP) indexes for use by voice and voiceband data connections over
ATM. The profiles and preferred AP indexes set the audio characteristics (for
example, encoding format and payload length) of AAL2 connections. The
AAL2 audio profiles and preferred AP indexes are defined in ATM Forum
specification AF-VMOA-014.000.

Provisioning silence suppression and comfort noise
generation
To enable silence suppression and comfort noise generation, you must use
either aal2-audio-profile 7/1, aal2-audio-profile 7/2, or aal2-audio-profile
8/1. Update the aal2-vcl-profile and aal2-cid-profile records to ensure they
use the audio-profile-identifiers and preferred-ap-indexes from these audio
profiles.
Note:
The AAL2 audio-profile-identifier will be used in the
aal2-vcl-profile. The preferred-ap-index will be used in the
aal2-cid-profile.

Several aal2-audio-profile records are created by the Z-Edge 64.
