The VoIP General Screens
9.1 VoIP Overview
The
VOICE > General
screens allow you to set up global SIP and Quality of Service (QoS) settings.
VoIP (Voice over IP) is the sending of voice signals over the Internet Protocol. This allows you to
make phone calls and send faxes over the Internet at a fraction of the cost of using the traditional
circuit-switched telephone network. You can also use servers to run telephone service applications
like PBX services and voice mail. Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) companies provide
VoIP service. A company could alternatively set up an IP-PBX and provide its own VoIP service.
Circuit-switched telephone networks require 64 kilobits per second (kbps) in each direction to
handle a telephone call. VoIP can use advanced voice coding techniques with compression to reduce
the required bandwidth.
9.1.1 What You Can Do in This Chapter
The
Media
screen (
Section 9.2 on page 149
) lets you set up and maintain global VoIP settings on
the BM2022.
The
QoS
screen (
Section 9.3 on page 150
) lets you set up and maintain QoS settings for voice
traffic flowing through the BM2022.
The
SIP
screen (
Section 9.4 on page 151
) lets you enable session timer and select the SIP
session refresh method.
The
Speed Dial
screen (
Section 9.5 on page 151
) lets you add, edit, or remove speed-dial
entries for the phone line.
9.1.2 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Voice Coding
A codec (coder/decoder) codes analog voice signals into digital signals and decodes the digital
signals back into voice signals. The BM2022 supports the following codecs.
G.711
is a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) waveform codec. PCM measures analog signal
amplitudes at regular time intervals (sampling) and converts them into digital bits (quantization).
Quantization reads the analog signal and then writes it to the nearest digital value. For this
reason, a digital sample is usually slightly different from its analog original (this difference is
known as quantization noise). G.711 provides excellent sound quality but requires 64kbps of
bandwidth.
