Quality of Service (QoS) and Bandwidth

System Availability: All systems
In any telephone system, deploying many IP telephones on a data LAN can have some unexpected
pitfalls if the network does not have the bandwidth and speed required to handle VoIP traffic. To
prevent delay, jitter, and data loss for VoIP traffic and retain the performance of your other
business-critical network applications a Network Voice Readiness Assessment must be completed
before installing VoIP. Toshiba is not responsible for Network Voice Readiness Assessments.
More information about Voice Readiness Assessment can be found at

CIX IP provides a number of adjustable tuning parameters dealing with sharing of network
resources, collectively referred to as Quality of Service (QoS). Expected voice QoS as it relates to
network parameters, including bandwidth, is shown in
Some CIX IP voice quality adjustable parameters are listed below:
System Wide Parameters
• Software selectable G.711 or G.729A codecs with variable interval timing
• Type of Service (TOS) precedence, delay, throughput and reliability types can be individually
selected
• Differentiated Services (Diffserv) can be enabled
IP Telephone Group Parameters
• IP Telephone Groups (CIX670: 256 groups; CIX200, CIX100 and CIX40: 128 groups)
• Voice Packet Transmission Interval
• Jitter buffer type
• Jitter buffer length
• Packet loss threshold
Priority Control
Priority Control can be enabled system wide. It provides a framework in which voice traffic
flowing on an IP network is given priority for processing. The CIX supports IEEE802.1p and
Differentiated Services "Diffserv" priority control protocols- selectable. In order to have priority
control processing work accurately, network equipment (router, switch, etc.) must support this
function and appropriate service must be ordered from the ISP provider or carrier.
QoS Measurement
eManager can measure the IPT QoS parameters listed below:
• Packets (sent/received)
• Delay (msec.)
• Jitter (msec.)
• Loss (%)
