Network Audio Quality Display on 4600 Series IP Telephones
With the exceptions of the 4601, 4606, 4612, 4624, and 4690 IP Telephones, all Series 4600 IP
Telephones are by default administered to allow the end user an opportunity to monitor network
audio performance while on a call. The user guides for each phone provide specific detail on
getting to the appropriate screen, what the end user sees, and what the information means.

For 4602/4602SW IP Telephones, the Network Audio Quality Screen gives the user a qualitative
assessment of the current overall audio quality. This assessment is based on separate
evaluations of:

Suppression
Suppression
Yes if the telephone knows the far-end has silence suppression Enabled.
No if the telephone knows the far-end has silence suppression Disabled, or
the telephone does not know either way.
No if the telephone knows the far-end has silence suppression Disabled, or
the telephone does not know either way.
Packet Loss
No data or a decimal percentage. Late and out-of-sequence packets are
counted as lost if they are discarded. Packets are not counted as lost until a
subsequent packet is received and the loss confirmed by the RTP sequence
number.
