Area: Settings for Codecs
To save additional bandwidth and trans-
mission capacity, on VoIP connections that
use codec G729 you can suppress the
transmission of voice packets in pauses
("Silence Suppression"). Then, instead of
the background noises in your environ-
ment, your caller hears a synthetic noise
generated in the receiver.
Please note: "Silence Suppression" can
sometimes lead to deterioration in the
voice quality.
¤
In the Enable Annex B for codec G729
field, state whether, when using codec
G729 , transmission of data packets for
pauses is to be suppressed (activate Yes
option).

Voice quality and infrastructure
With your Gigaset S450 IP you have the
opportunity to make calls with good voice
quality via VoIP.
However, your phone's performance with
VoIP – and therefore the voice quality –
also depends on the properties of the
entire infrastructure.
The following VoIP provider components
are just some of the things that can influ-
ence performance:
u Router
u DSLAM
u DSL transmission line and speed
u Connection paths over the Internet
u If necessary, other applications that
also use the DSL connection
In VoIP networks, the voice quality is influ-
enced by various things including the
"quality of service" (QoS). If the entire
infrastructure demonstrates QoS, voice
quality is better (fewer delays, less echo-
ing, less crackling etc.).
If, for example, the router does not have
QoS, then the voice quality is not as good.
Please see the specialist documentation
for further information.
Assigning sending and
receiving numbers to handsets
Your phone can be assigned up to seven
phone numbers: the fixed network
number and up to six VoIP phone num-
bers.
You can assign these numbers to the indi-
vidual handsets that are connected to your
base station as receiving and sending
numbers. The means that for each hand-
set, you define the calls that it will ring for,
and which VoIP account (sending
number) is used by your VoIP provider to
calculate outgoing VoIP calls.
Please note:
– You should only deactivate codecs (put
them in the Available codecs list) if there is a
particular reason. The more codecs that are
deactivated, the greater the danger that
calls will not be able to be established due
to unsuccessful codec negotiations.
– With incoming calls, all supported voice
codecs are always permitted.
Please note:
You should observe the following for good
voice quality:
– When making calls using VoIP, avoid per-
forming other Internet activities
(e.g. surfing the net).
– Irrespective of the codec used and the net-
work capacity utilisation, please note that
voice delays can occur. Therefore, allow
your VoIP calling partner to finish speaking.
Avoid interrupting your calling partner.
