DHCP Server
When using the DHCP feature, the IP address settings of the card (IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway) will be assigned by a DHCP server.
However, keep in mind that the maintenance of the card is performed through a web browser from a
PC; hence you must know the IP address of the card. Therefore, it is necessary to set up the DHCP

switches to the secondary gatekeeper if it is available, so that
the network remains functional.

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.

CODEC Frame Settings
The parameters below are used to set the interval between packet transmissions for each type of CODEC. It
is recommended that all VoIP Gateway Cards in a VoIP network have the same settings for these parameters.
For details, refer to "Detailed Explanations".
Parameter Default Value Range

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.

G.723.1/G.729A/G.711 VAD
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).
