Introduction

This chapter gives an overview of SmartWare VoIP profiles, how they are used and describes the tasks involved
in VoIP profile configuration.
A VoIP profile summarizes the most relevant settings for VoIP connections and is assigned to the VoIP gate-
ways H.323 or ISoIP. Each VoIP gateway must use a VoIP profile. The settings in the VoIP profile apply to all
calls going through that gateway.
interfaces. The configurable components are as follows:
• DTMF relay
• Echo canceller
• Silence compression and comfort noise
• Voice volume gain
• Dejitter buffer
• Post and high-pass filters
• Fax
As the name implies, configuring voice quality options can improve or degrade the quality of the transmitted
voice data. Many of the default values of these components have configured defaults and should only be over-
written if required. Misconfiguration can strongly affect the voice quality perceived by the user and the band-
width requirements of VoIP connections. Be sure you understand the meaning and impact of all commands
prior to changing any settings.
