Feature Benefit
ITU Standard Codecs such
as G.729, G.729A/B, and
G.711
These standards-based compression technologies allow transmission of voice across IP. G.711 is standard 64-kbps
PCM modulation using either mu-law or a-law. For a complete list of codecs supported, refer to Table 3.
Silence Suppression and
Voice Activity Detection
Bandwidth is used only when someone is speaking. During silent periods of a phone call (approximately 50 percent of
the time), bandwidth is available for other traffic.
Comfort Noise Generation To better simulate phone calls over voice networks, this feature reassures the phone user that the connection is being
maintained, even when no voice packets are being transmitted.
Dial-Plan Mapping Automatic mapping of dialed VoIP phone numbers to IP addresses simplifies configuration and management.
Dual Tone Multifrequency
(DTMF) Tone Processing
This feature helps enable access to voice mail and interactive-voice-response (IVR) systems.
Fax and Modem Pass-
Through
This feature allows fax and modem traffic to pass through a voice port.
Fax Relay Fax relay provides a more robust protocol for fax transmission over packet networks. It includes support for T.38 and
T.37 fax protocols.
Country-Specific Signaling This feature transparently delivers customary phone signals to users, facilitating acceptance of new technology.
Autocalling and Private-Line
Automatic Ring-Down
(PLAR)
With this feature, a destination phone can be configured to automatically ring when the caller lifts the handset.
Hunt groups Calls can be forwarded automatically to the first available line.
Battery Polarity Reversal
Detection and Initiation
Detection of disconnect supervision and far-end answer supervision through battery polarity reversal provides a robust
method of providing supervisory disconnect, especially for loop-start signaling on FXS and FXO interfaces.
Supervisory Disconnect Signaling protocols such as loop start do not provide means for quickly detecting when the call initiation is terminated
prior to call connection. Supervisory disconnect quickly makes this determination and frees valuable resources for
other calls.
