Detailed Explanations

Gatekeeper

The following are the general functions of a gatekeeper:

• Dialed number-to-IP address translation

• Authentication

• Bandwidth control

It is possible to employ a VoIP network without the use of a gatekeeper, because the card is equipped
with internal address translation capabilities. However, should the network contain dozens of cards,
maintenance of address translation tables in individual cards can become a strain.

A gatekeeper is useful in this case, because with the gatekeeper it is possible to consolidate the
maintenance. (However, you still need to program each card on the network with its own address
translation information. For details, refer to "2.2.6 Address Translation Table—GW Entry" and "2.2.7
Address Translation Table—DN2IP Entry".) For more information about gatekeeper functions,
consult the documentation of the gatekeeper.

When using a gatekeeper, make sure to choose a compatible model. For more information about
gatekeeper compatibility with the card, consult a certified dealer.

Jitter Buffer Settings

When voice signals are packetized and transmitted, individual packets can take different paths through the
network and arrive at the destination at varied timings. This is referred to as "jitter", and it can cause
degradation in speech quality. To compensate for jitter problems, the "jitter buffer" accumulates the packets
temporarily for processing.

The parameters below are used to adjust the size of the jitter buffer. However, in general, there is no need to
change the default values.

Echo Canceller Settings

Parameter & Description Default Value Range

Echo Canceller

Specifies the length of the echo canceller (in milliseconds)
when using the echo cancellation feature (G.168), or disables
the feature.

Echo is the audible duplication of a caller's voice on the return
path; when echo exists, the caller hears his or her own voice
after some delay. The echo canceller eliminates this echo.

Generally, the default length of 48 ms will suffice. However, if
an echo is still heard, it is recommended that you set the
length to 128 ms.

Note

There are various factors that may cause an echo. In
some cases, this feature does not eliminate the echo
entirely.

Specifies the use of the VAD feature for each available
CODEC (G.723.1, G.729A, and G.711).

The VAD conserves bandwidth by detecting silent periods
during a call and suppressing the packets of silence from
being sent to the network.

Notes

• To use the VAD feature for a certain CODEC, be
sure to enable it for that CODEC on both the local
and remote cards.

• To use the VAD feature between the KX-TDA0490
and KX-TDA5480/KX-TDA0484, you must enable it
for the G.723.1 CODEC. Otherwise, the VAD feature
cannot be used between these cards (although calls
can be made and received as normal).

However, also consider that the shorter the packet sending interval, the clearer the expected speech
quality, because delays in packet transmissions will be small. When the packet sending interval is
long, delays are more likely to occur, resulting in overall degradation in speech quality with more
pauses and loss in voice communications.

Therefore, it is recommended that you select the shortest packet sending interval that network
bandwidth can accommodate.

DTMF Detection

A VoIP network does not guarantee accurate end-to-end transmission of DTMF signals because the
DTMF signals are coded/decoded during VoIP communications, in the same way as voice signals. In
addition, packets can get lost during transmission.

To compensate for this problem, it is possible to enable DTMF detection for the VoIP Gateway Card
to carry out accurate end-to-end DTMF relay over the network. Upon detecting DTMF signals from
the PBX, the card encodes the signals and then sends them to the destination, instead of as voice
signals. Then at the destination, the card regenerates the DTMF signals from the received encoded
signals, and then sends them to the PBX.

Note that when this feature is enabled, the sending of packets is delayed by approximately 30 ms.
Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this feature unless DTMF detection is necessary.

CODEC

Packet Sending Interval

20 ms 30 ms 40 ms 60 ms 90 ms

FAX Signal Detection

When sending fax signals using a CODEC other than G.711, the signals cannot be received
accurately at the destination because they are coded/decoded over the VoIP network, in the same
way as voice signals.

To compensate for this problem, it is possible to enable fax detection for the card. Upon detecting fax
signals (CED tones) from the PBX, the card automatically switches the CODEC to G.711 to
communicate with the card at the destination. With the G.711 CODEC, it is possible to assure error­free fax communications to a certain extent.

To further assure fax communications, it is strongly recommended that the communicating fax
machines be equipped with the ECM (Error Correction Model) feature, an automatic error correction
feature. When, for example, the receiving fax machine detects errors in transmission, it can have the
sending fax machine resend the relevant data.

When using the fax detection feature, the communicating cards must share the same value (either
"G.711Mu" or "G.711A") for the parameter Voice CODEC Priority (see "Voice CODEC Settings" in
"2.2.2 H.323 Parameters").

It is possible to program the PBX to allocate separate groups of VoIP gateway ports to individual
extension groups A and B for making outgoing calls. With this programming, each extension group,
A and B, can have a group of ports for its exclusive use.

For example:

• The VoIP gateway ports that extension group A uses to make outgoing calls: ports 1 to 4

• The VoIP gateway ports that extension group B uses to make outgoing calls: ports 5 to 8

Note

The example above details the configuration to route incoming calls to 2 separate hunt groups,
each of which is associated with an individual extension group. However, note that various other
types of configurations are possible. For example, it is possible to route calls to 8 separate hunt
groups, so that you can distribute the calls to 8 different extension groups.

Firmware Status

Indicates the current firmware status of the corresponding
page. There are 3 kinds of status indications:

• Main Operation Mode: Active firmware data on startup
under normal operation.

• OLD: Firmware data uploaded to the card before the
firmware data in the "Main Operation Mode" status was
uploaded.

• NEW: Firmware data uploaded to the card after the
firmware data in the "Main Operation Mode" status was
uploaded.

Note

The status indications "OLD" and "NEW" are irrelevant to
the version of the firmware data.

Startup Page

Indicates (with an "x" sign) the active page on startup.
Generally, the startup page is the firmware data whose status

of confirming the result of the upload operation. If you reboot
again, the card starts up with the page in the "Main Operation
Mode" status.

To set the updated page as the active page on startup, you
must change its firmware status to "Main Operation Mode".
