Defining Qos Priority Of Types Of Network Traffic - Avaya XT Series Deployment Manual

Advanced Configuration of the XT Series

Defining QoS Priority of Types of Network Traffic

About this task
Quality of Service (QoS) determines the priorities of different types of network traffic (audio, video
and control/signaling), so in poor network conditions, prioritized traffic is still fully transmitted. For
example, you can set a higher priority to audio packets, so that when there is an issue with packet
loss, audio quality is maintained over video.
Important:
It is essential that QoS settings are defined with identical values on this device and all network
components, including Avaya Meetings Server components and your generic network
components like switches and routers. Only create custom QoS settings if the rest of your
network has the same settings.
You can set the relative priorities of each type of data type, either by setting a custom priority
value, known as differentiated service or DiffServe, or by assigning a ranking and type of service
(TOS) to each type of data. Choose the QoS method used by the other network components in
your organization, to match their values exactly.
Before you begin
If configuring from the endpoint, you must first enable advanced configuration, as described in
Enabling Advanced Maintenance on the XT Series
Procedure
1. Access the QoS settings. From the XT Series web interface, select Administrator
Settings > Networks > Preferences > QoS. From the endpoint's main menu, select
Configure > Advanced > Networks > Preferences > QoS.
2. Set the fields as described in
Table 35: Configuring QoS settings
Field Name
Use QoS
August 2020
Table 35: Configuring QoS settings
Description
Select whether to enable or disable QoS.
If you set Use QoS to Yes, you provide different priority to different data
stream, or guarantee a certain level of performance to a data stream. In
particular, you may choose between Precedence/TOS and Differentiated
Service.
