Voice Configuration   7-3
Selecting Port Configuration displays the Por t Configuration screen.
Echo cancellation is set to Yes by default. With echo cancellation set to Yes, the device auto-detects 
whether or not the connecting device (a telephone, a modem, or a fax machine) requires echo cancellation 
(fax machines and modems automatically cancel echoes).
For ordinar y telephone handsets, echo cancellation should be set to Yes (turned on) to eliminate echoes 
on the voice line. Toggling a por t to No forces echo cancellation to be disabled. If you want to disable echo 
cancellation, toggle this item to No. You can enable or disable echo cancellation for each por t on the 
Netopia 4741. 
The Compression type is normally set at the voice gateway. It is visible for informational purposes, to 
ascer tain that the provisioning on the voice gateway is in sync with the Netopia 4741.
LES stands for Loop Emulation Ser vice, an increasingly popular standard among ATM voice gateway 
manufacturers.
If the voice gateway is LES-compliant, a pop-up menu allows you to choose between G711 - PCM 64K and 
G726 - ADPCM 32K. Your ser vice provider must supply you with the correct provisioning information. The 
reason is that in those gateway types the voice gateway expects this type of provisioning to be done prior 
to making any voice calls.
If the voice gateway is not LES-compliant, the pop-up menus are not available, and these fields are for 
information only.
Once you have made your settings for each voice por t, press Escape to return to the Voice Configuration 
menu.
Select Voice Coding and press Return. From the pop-up menu choose the voice coding method you will be 
using. The default is mu-law, which is the standard 8-bit, 8 kHz, mono format intended primarily for the 
requirements of voice in Nor th America. You can also choose a-law, a more common audio format outside 
Nor th America.
If your ser vice provider is using an LES-compliant voice gateway, an LES Profile Number option becomes
