You can also use the PSTN Line screen to specify phone numbers that should always use the

11.7.3  Voice Activity Detection/Silence Suppression
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) detects whether or not speech is present. This lets the ZyXEL 
Device reduce the bandwidth that a call uses by not transmitting “silent packets” when you are 
not speaking.
11.7.4  Comfort Noise Generation
When using VAD, the ZyXEL Device generates comfort noise when the other party is not

easily be mistaken for a lost connection.
11.7.5  Echo Cancellation 
G.168 is an ITU-T standard for eliminating the echo caused by the sound of your voice 
reverberating in the telephone receiver while you talk.
11.8  Analog Phone 
This screen allows you to configure the PHONE 1 and PHONE 2 ports on the ZyXEL

configure different settings for each PHONE port.

If you connect more than one analog phone to a single PHONE port, the 
settings you configure on the port apply to all phones connected to the port.
