Appendix A - CounterPath SIP Softphones Installing & Configuring the eyeBeam
9. Click the Media \ Audio \ Devices tab. Uncheck Enable VAD.
Disabling VAD creates a more natural audio sound, since the eyeBeam
will transmit audio continuously rather than stopping transmission when it
doesn't detect voice (which results in silence gaps).
Note that disabling VAD increases the bandwidth used during phone
calls since audio is always transmitting.
10. Click the Media \ Audio \ Advanced \ Codecs tab. The following codecs
on the eyeBeam are supported by Wave:
• G711 uLaw
• G711 alaw
•GSM
• G729
For best results, arrange the codecs in the
Enabled Codecs pane in the
same preference order as provided by your system administrator.
11. Choose the System \ General tab. Configure the following settings:
•
Auto answer - Enter the amount of time that the phone rings before
connecting audio, when Auto Answer is enabled.
•
Auto Dial Enabled - If checked, you do not have to press the Dial
button to initiate a call. Note that if you find auto dialing to be slow you
can decrease the Minimum and Maximum Wait times.
12. Choose the Media \ Audio \ Devices tab. Under
Microphone Settings
and
Speaker Settings, make sure that the correct audio devices on your
PC are selected for voice capture and audio.
13. Click OK or Apply to save your changes. If the configuration has been
made correctly the eyeBeam should show "Logged in - enter phone
number" and "Your Number is <username>".
Note: In the Settings dialog box you should also see a submenu under
SIP Accounts with the name/address of your Wave Server.
