Quality of Service
The QoS settings are advanced options intended to improve the call
reliability. In most cases the default settings should be kept unless the
ITSP suggests an alternative configuration.
If the Flexor 500 is connected between your LAN Ethernet switch and your
PC, the Flexor 500 can shape traffic when a VoIP call is in progress. This
enables the Flexor 500 to guarantee bandwidth for the VoIP call ensuring
high quality calling. You should set the upstream bandwidth settings to
match the upstream bandwidth of your broadband connection, to ensure
that you do not artificially degrade your PCs networking performance.
The upstream bandwidth is measured in Kbps (kilo bits per second). The
value is typically 256 for DSL and 100000 for 100Mb Ethernet.
