_____________________________ to the device’s LAN port). Therefore, it is important that you consider the number of total phone lines you will be attaching to each CRA‐200 device in addition to the two lines that are already available. In the sample configuration shown below, where you have one CRA‐200 box with VPN enabled and two additional Internet phone devices for a total of 4 phone lines, a 128 Kbps Internet connection will allow for no more than 4 simultaneous phone calls at a given time when using codec G.729/ Latency Configuration of 60ms (see page 10 for a brief explanation of Codec Latency Configuration). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CRA-200 Quick Installation Guide Recommended Number of Simultaneous Calls The following chart depicts a general guideline range for the recommended maximum number of simultaneous calls when VPN capability is enabled for each codec/Latency configuration. The amount of allowable simultaneous phone calls and its call quality are directly related to bandwidth availability and its utilization. Speed 729 90ms 729 60ms 4-6 max. 4-5 max. 128k calls calls 256k 10-12 8-10 384k 17-19... - Page 7 IMPORTANT: These figures assume that the bandwidth is dedicated solely for these voice calls and that the broadband service provider has committed this bandwidth to the installation. The use of other Internet services may adversely affect the amount of allowable simultaneous calls along with call quality. Codec Latency Configuration: This setting on the SIP Configuration page determines the voice samples per packet. The number of voice samples per packet is another factor in determining the bandwidth utilized and delay of a VoIP call. The CODEC defines the size of the sample (G.711 and G.729 have a sample size of 10ms and G.723 has a sample size of 30ms), but the total number of samples placed in a packet affects how many packets are sent per second. When you increase the voice payload size, the bandwidth utilized is reduced and the overall delay increases. Increasing these settings (for example ‐ from 30ms to 90ms for G.723) can reduce bandwidth utilization, but in turn it may affect voice quality depending on the quality and ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CRA-200 Quick Installation Guide stability of your connection. For example, if you drop one packet due to connectivity issues, a setting of G.723/30ms will lose one voice sample where a setting of G.723/90ms will lose 3 voice samples. Page: 7 of 7...
