P-2002 Series User's Guide Table 14 VoIP Advanced (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Fax Option Use this field to set how the Prestige handles fax messages. You can select either the Fax Pass-through or the T.38 fax methods. Select Fax Pass-through to have the Prestige send fax messages over G.711. The peer devices must also use G.711. Select T.38 to have the Prestige send fax messages over the IP network as UDP or TCP/IP packets. It provides better transmission quality than fax pass-through but may have inter operability problems. The peer devices must also use T.38. Call Forward Table Select which call forwarding table you want the Prestige to use to block or redirect calls. You can use a different call forwarding table for each SIP account or use the same call forwarding table for both. Caller Ringing Select the Enable check box to activate a custom caller ringing tone for incoming calls. The caller ringing tone is the sound that incoming callers will hear when they call you. Use the Caller Ringing Tone drop-down list box to choose a tone. The caller ringing tone currently works with calls that are using the G.729 codec. On Hold Select the Enable check box to activate a custom on hold tone for callers on hold. The on hold tone is the sound callers will hear when you put them on hold. Use the On Hold Tone drop-down list box to choose a tone. The on hold tone currently works with calls that are using the G.729 codec.

Packets are marked with DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs) indicating the level of service desired. This allows the intermediary DiffServ-compliant network devices to handle the packets differently depending on the code points without the need to negotiate paths or remember state information for every flow. In addition, applications do not have to request a particular service or give advanced notice of where the traffic is going.1 1.

6.5
Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay,
and the networking methods used to provide bandwidth for real-time multimedia applications.
6.5.1
Type Of Service (ToS)
Network traffic can be classified by setting the ToS (Type Of Service) values at the data source
(for example, at the Prestige) so a server can decide the best method of delivery, that is the
least cost, fastest route and so on.
6.5.2
DiffServ
DiffServ is a class of service (CoS) model that marks packets so that they receive specific per-
hop treatment at DiffServ-compliant network devices along the route based on the application
types and traffic flow. Packets are marked with DiffServ Code Points (DSCPs) indicating the
level of service desired. This allows the intermediary DiffServ-compliant network devices to
handle the packets differently depending on the code points without the need to negotiate paths
or remember state information for every flow. In addition, applications do not have to request
a particular service or give advanced notice of where the traffic is going.

TCP/IP packets. It provides better transmission quality than fax pass-through but
may have inter operability problems. The peer devices must also use T.38.

Select which call forwarding table you want the Prestige to use to block or redirect
calls. You can use a different call forwarding table for each SIP account or use the
same call forwarding table for both.
Caller Ringing
Select the
Enable
check box to activate a custom caller ringing tone for incoming
calls. The caller ringing tone is the sound that incoming callers will hear when they
call you. Use the
Caller Ringing Tone

On Hold
Select the
Enable
check box to activate a custom on hold tone for callers on hold.
The on hold tone is the sound callers will hear when you put them on hold. Use the
On Hold Tone
drop-down list box to choose a tone.
The on hold tone currently works with calls that are using the G.729 codec.
