Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:

Voice Quality Monitoring

The SoundPoint IP phones can be configured to generate various quality

metrics for listening and conversational quality. These metrics can be sent

between the phones in RTCP XR packets. The metrics can also be downloaded

in SIP messages to a central voice quality report collector. The collection of

these metrics is supported on the SoundPoint IP 330/320, 430, 501, 550, 560,
600, 601, 650, and 670 phones and the SoundStation IP 4000 phone.

The RTCP XR packets are complaint with RFC 3611 - RTP Control Extended

Reports (RTCP XR). The packets are sent to a report collector as specified in

draft RFC draft-ietf_sipping_rtcp-summary-02.
Three types of quality reports can be enabled:

Alert—Generated when the call quality degrades below a configurable

threshold.

Periodic—Generated during a call at a configurable period.

Session—Generated at the end of a call.
