Software Specifications
Table C-6 Software Specifications (All Protocols)
|
|
Call progress tones |
Configurable for two sets of frequencies and single set of on/off cadence |
Dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) |
DTMF tone detection and generation |
Fax |
G.711 fax pass-through and G.711 fax mode. Enhanced fax pass-through is supported on the Cisco ATA. Success of fax transmissions up to 14.4 kbps depends on network conditions, and fax modem/fax machine tolerance to those conditions. The network must have reasonably low network jitter, network delay, and packet-loss rate. |
Line-echo cancellation |
• Echo canceller for each port • 8 ms echo length • Nonlinear echo suppression (ERL > 28 dB for frequency = 300 to 2400 Hz) • Convergence time = 250 ms • ERLE = 10 to 20 dB • Double-talk detection |
Out-of-band DTMF |
• H.245 out-of-band DTMF for H.323 • RFC 2833 AVT tones for SIP, MGCP, SCCP |
Configuration |
• DHCP (RFC 2131) • Web configuration via built-in Web server • Touch-tone telephone keypad configuration with voice prompt • Basic boot configuration (RFC 1350 TFTP Profiling) • Dial plan configuration • Cisco Discovery Protocol |
Quality of Service |
• Class-of-service (CoS) bit-tagging (802.1P) • Type-of-service (ToS) bit-tagging |
Security |
• H.235 for H.323 • RC4 encryption for TFTP configuration files |
Voice coder-decoders (codecs) |
Note In simultaneous dual-port operation, the second port is limited to G.711 when using G.729.
• G.723.1 • G.729, G.729A, G.729AB • G.723.1 • G.711A-law • G.711µ-law |
Voice features |
• Voice activity detection (VAD) • Comfort noise generation (CNG) • Dynamic jitter buffer (adaptive) |
Voice-over-IP (VoIP) protocols |
• H.323 v2 • SIP (RFC 2543 bis) • MGCP 1.0 (RFC 2705) • MGCP 1.0/network-based call signalling (NCS) 1.0 profile • MGCP 0.1 • SCCP |
