Secure Calls A user (if enabled by service provider or administrator)
has the option to make an outbound call secure in the
sense that the audio packets in both directions are
encrypted. See Secure Call Implementation section
on page 66.
Adjustable Audio
Frames Per Packet
This feature allows the user to set the number of audio
frames contained in one RTP packet. Packets can be
adjusted to contain from 110 audio frames. Increasing the
number of packets decreases the bandwidth utilized, but
it also increases delay and may affect voice quality. See
the RTP Packet Size parameter found in the SIP tab in the
ATA Voice Field Reference, on page 110.
DTMF The ATA device may relay DTMF digits as out-of-band
events to preserve the fidelity of the digits. This can
enhance the reliability of DTMF transmission required by
many IVR applications such as dial-up banking and airline
information. DTMF is configured in the
parameter found in the Line tabs. See the ATA Voice Field
Reference, on page 110.
Call Progress Tone
Generation
The ATA device has configurable call progress tones. Call
progress tones are generated locally on the ATA device so
an end user is advised of status (such as ringback).
Parameters for each type of tone (for instance a dial tone
played back to an end user) may include frequency and
amplitude of each component, and cadence information.
See the Regional tab in the ATA Voice Field Reference,
on page 110.
Call Progress Tone
Pass Through
This feature allows the user to hear the call progress tones
(such as ringing) that are generated from the far-end
network. See the Regional tab in the ATA Voice Field
Reference, on page 110.
Echo Cancellation Impedance mismatch between the telephone and the IP
Telephony gateway phone port can lead to near-end echo.
The ATA device has a near-end echo canceller that
compensates for impedance match. The ATA device also
implements an echo suppressor with comfort noise
generator (CNG) so that any residual echo is not
noticeable. Echo Cancellation is configured in the
Regional, Line, and PSTN Line tabs. See ATA Voice Field
Reference, on page 110.
