preventing access by non-protected functions. Only when your Internet WAN link is at
maximum capacity, and you have many simultaneous calls in progress are your
non-protected functions interrupted.
The drawback to using the maximum value for
Voice Bandwidth is if you want to add another
QoS group in the future to protect other traffic. You would have to lower the Voice group
bandwidth to accommodate the new group.
Notes on video
The BSGX4e is capable of protecting a video IP stream under QoS. However, due to the unique
technical aspects of IP video, professional assistance would be needed to set this up. The BSGX4e
does process all types of video streams, but configuring the BSGX4e to guarantee uninterrupted
service with QoS is what requires the professional assistance.
Video also requires large amounts of bandwidth. The typical Internet connection in a home or
small office may not have enough bandwidth to ensure uninterrupted video transmission.
Step 7 Voice over IP Setup page
VoIP phones must connect to your VoIP
service provider’s SIP server. The User Agent
can also connect to the server. (The User
Agent allows you to connect a standard,
analog phone to the BSGX4e.)
z
SIP Session Controller
Enter the Domain name (some.domain.com) or
network address (123.456.7.89) of the server
of your service provider.
Your service provider may also have a
Proxy
server (which improves the reliability of your
Internet connection). If so, enter its domain
name or network address.
Use the
Set Default button to populate the
Port, Heartbeat, and Frequency fields unless
you have professional advice to use different settings.
Set the
Maxcalls field to what your license agreement states. This is 10 or 30 calls.
z
SIP User Agent
If your service provider supports a User Agent (sometimes called a “SIP gateway”), they
supply the account login data needed for these fields.
Step 8 Finishing up page
After completing the last configuration page you are taken to the finishing page where you can go
back through the pages to check any previous settings, or finish by saving the configuration into
the BSGX4e’s memory.
