Ensuring Voice Quality
Setting System Features
The phone can be configured for secure provisioning using the factory-installed security 
certificate. To determine if the Client Certificate is installed on the phone, press from the 
Product Info menu, or scroll down to the highlight Client Cert, and press the select soft button. 
Secure Call Indication Tone
This tone is played when a call has been successfully switched to secure mode. It should be 
played only for a short while (less than 30 seconds) and at a reduced level (less than -19 dBm), 
so it does not interfere with the conversation. You can configure it on the Regional web page 
under Call Progress Tones.
Defaults to 397@-19,507@-19;15(0/2/0,.2/.1/1,.1/2.1/2)
Ensuring Voice Quality
Voice quality perceived by the subscribers of the IP Telephony service should be 
indistinguishable from that of the PSTN. Linksys SPA9x2 phones support several codecs. See:
Supported Codecs
Negotiation of the optimal voice codec sometimes depends on the ability of SPA9x2 phone to 
“match” a codec name with the far-end device/gateway codec name. SPA9x2 phones allow the 
network administrator to individually name the various codecs that are supported such that 
the correct codec successfully negotiates with the far-end equipment.
Note that SPA9x2 phones support voice codec priority. You can select up to three preferred 
codecs.
The administrator can select the low-bit-rate codec used for each line. G.711a and G.711u are 
always enabled. The following table shows the codecs supported by SPA9x2 phones. The third 
column shows the voice quality Mean Opinion Score (MOS), with a scale of 1–5, in which higher 
is better.
