P-2612HNU-Fx User’s Guide

The ZyXEL Device uses a SIP account to make outgoing VoIP calls and check if an 
incoming call’s destination number matches your SIP account’s SIP number. In 
order to make or receive a VoIP call, you need to enable and configure a SIP 
account, and map it to a phone port. The SIP account contains information that 
allows your ZyXEL Device to connect to your VoIP service provider. 

 for how to map a SIP account to a phone port.

Use this screen to maintain basic information about each SIP account. You can 
also enable and disable each SIP account, configure the volume, echo cancellation 
and VAD (Voice Activity Detection) settings for each individual phone port on the 
ZyXEL Device. 

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.

When using VAD, the ZyXEL Device generates comfort noise when the other party 
is not speaking. The comfort noise lets you know that the line is still connected as 
total silence could easily be mistaken for a lost connection.

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.
