The SIP Account Screen
The ZyXEL Device uses a SIP account to make outgoing VoIP calls and check if an
incoming call’s destination number matches your SIP account’s SIP number. In
order to make or receive a VoIP call, you need to enable and configure a SIP
account, and map it to a phone port. The SIP account contains information that
allows your ZyXEL Device to connect to your VoIP service provider.
Use this screen to maintain basic information about the SIP account. You can also
enable and disable the SIP account, configure the volume, echo cancellation and
VAD (Voice Activity Detection) settings for each individual phone port on the
ZyXEL Device.
Voice Activity Detection/Silence Suppression
Voice Activity Detection (VAD) detects whether or not speech is present. This lets
the ZyXEL Device reduce the bandwidth that a call uses by not transmitting “silent
packets” when you are not speaking.
Comfort Noise Generation
When using VAD, the ZyXEL Device generates comfort noise when the other party
is not speaking. The comfort noise lets you know that the line is still connected as
total silence could easily be mistaken for a lost connection.
Min-SE
Enter the minimum number of seconds the ZyXEL Device lets a SIP
session remain idle (without traffic) before it automatically disconnects
the session. When two SIP devices start a SIP session, they must agree
on an expiration time for idle sessions. This field is the shortest
expiration time that the ZyXEL Device accepts.
Dialing Interval Selection
Dialing Interval
Selection
Enter the number of seconds the ZyXEL Device should wait after you
stop dialing numbers before it makes the phone call. The value depends
on how quickly you dial phone numbers.
PSTN Fail Over
(“L” models
only)
Select this check box if you want to redirect the outgoing calls to the
PSTN line (that do not use the Internet) when your SIP account is
unregistered or SIP call has failed.
