Introduction

This chapter gives an overview of SmartWare VoIP profiles, and describes how they are used and the tasks

Configuring voice datapath options can improve or degrade
the quality of the transmitted voice data. Many of the default val-

be changed if required. Misconfiguration can strongly affect the
voice quality perceived by the user and the bandwidth require-
ments of VoIP connections. Be sure you understand the meaning
and impact of all commands prior to changing any settings.
