8.2 Connect
The Connect screen is a Java application. It has four tabs with controls to make and monitor calls, as well as manage
the Z/IP ONE’s phone book.
The Auto tab of the Java application is to use and manage your Z/IP ONE’s phone book. The list of devices saved is
on the right. The colors denote online status, as reported by the ZIP Server:
♦
Green – online
♦
Red – offline, or not found
♦
Blue – unknown. This is the color used by connections that do not use the ZIP Server (SIP, RTP, etc).
The remaining buttons on the Auto tab are used in the same way as their front panel equivalents. When you start a
connection from this tab, you will be taken to the Status tab automatically. See Chapters 9 and 10 for more information
on making connections and using the ZIP Server.
The Connect tab works similarly to the CONN key on the front panel. Here, you can manually enter information to
dial other codecs.
Use the Direct Dial line to specify the connection protocol and address information:
♦
TSCP via ZIP Server: device@group
♦
TSCP via ZIP Server: tscp:device@group
♦
TSCP direct: tscp:ww.xx.yy.zz
♦
SIP via server: sip:localuser
♦
SIP via server: sip:[email protected]
♦
SIP direct: sip:ww.xx.yy.zz
♦
RTP direct: rtp:ww.xx.yy.zz
Below the Direct Dial line is a list of any connections that have been made since loading the Autodial application.
You can save items from this list to the phone book. Starting a connection from this tab will take you to the status
tab automatically.
The Status tab shows information about the connection currently in progress. The four items listed at the bottom
are:
♦
Lost – Expected packets that never arrived, since the beginning of this connection
♦
Concealed – Audio frames that were concealed by the decoder, since the beginning of the connection. A num-
ber of frames will be concealed at the start of a call, before coded audio packets start to arrive. This is normal.
♦
Buffered – the number of frames currently in the decoder’s buffer
♦
Dropped – frames that arrived, but were dropped without being decoded. This can be due to a burst of
traffic that would otherwise overfill the buffer, frames that arrived too late to be decoded, etc.
The change in these values is graphed over time in the scrolling graphs. If you press the Disconnect button, the
current connection will end, and you will be returned to the Auto tab.
Audio Metering shows the current transmit and receive meters.
