Chapter 10 Voice Screens

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, 
and the networking methods used to provide bandwidth for real-time multimedia applications. 

Network traffic can be classified by setting the ToS (Type Of Service) values at the data 
source (for example, at the Prestige) so a server can decide the best method of delivery, that is 
the least cost, fastest route and so on. 

Min-SE

When two SIP devices negotiate a SIP session, they must negotiate a common 

expiration time for idle SIP sessions. This field sets the shortest expiration time that 

the Prestige will accept.  The Prestige checks the session expiration values of 

incoming SIP INVITE requests against the minimum session expiration value that 

you configure here. If the session expiration of an incoming INVITE request is less 

than the value you configure here, the Prestige negotiates with the other SIP 

device to increase the session expiration value to match the Prestige’s minimum 

session expiration value.

RTP Port Range

Real time Transport Protocol is used to handle voice data transfer. Use these fields 

to configure the Prestige’s listening port range for RTP traffic. Leave these fields 

set to the defaults if you were not given a range of RTP ports to use.

Preferred 

Compression 

Type

Use this field to select the type of voice coder/decoder (codec) that you want the 

Prestige to use. G.711 provides higher voice quality than G.729 but requires 

64kbps of bandwidth while G.729 only requires 8kbps.
Select G.711>G.729 if you want the Prestige to first attempt to use the G.711 

codec and then the G.729 codec if the peer is not set up to use G.711.
Select G.711 only if you want the Prestige to only use the G.711 codec when 

making VoIP calls. You will not be able to connect to a peer that is not set up to use 

G.711.
Select G.729>G.711 if you want the Prestige to first attempt to use the G.729 

codec and then the G.711 codec if the peer is not set up to use G.729.
Select G.729 only if you want the Prestige to only use the G.729 codec when 

making VoIP calls. You will not be able to connect to a peer that is not set up to use 

G.729.

DTMF Mode

The Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) mode sets how the Prestige handles the 

tones that your telephone makes when you push its buttons. It is recommended 

that you use the same mode that your VoIP service provider uses.
Select RFC 2833 to send the DTMF tones in RTP packets. 
Select PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) to include the DTMF tones in the voice data 

stream. This method works best when you are using a codec that does not use 

compression (like G.711). Codecs that use compression (like G.729) could distort 

the tones.
Select SIP INFO to send the DTMF tones in SIP messages.
