Optimising voice quality for VoIP connections

Functions to improve the voice quality on VoIP connections are available on the
Web page:
Settings
The voice quality for VoIP connections is mainly determined by the voice codec
used for transferring the data and the available bandwidth of your DSL connection.
In the case of the voice codec, the voice data is digitised (coded/decoded) and com-
pressed. A "better" codec (better voice quality) means more data needs to be trans-
ferred, i.e., perfect voice data transfer requires a DSL connection with a larger band-
width.
You can change the voice quality by selecting (bearing in mind the bandwidth of
your DSL connection) the voice codecs your phone is to use, and specifying the
order in which the codecs are to be suggested when a VoIP connection is estab-
lished.
Default settings for the codecs used are stored in your phone; one setting opti-
mised for low bandwidths and one for high bandwidths.
You can generally select one of these standard settings for all VoIP connections on
your phone. If your DSL connection has a low bandwidth, you can also exclude par-
allel VoIP connection to increase the voice quality.
