Pulver WiSIP and Zyxel Prestige 2000W: V.1

Note: Check of the version of the Presige phone you are using. If using a v.2 phone, see the following BYOD instructions.

Introduction

The Pulver WiSIP and Zyxel Prestige 2000W are wireless telephones that operate over the Internet. They give users the benefits of Internet telephony, for example cheaper calls, without the physical restrictions of a fixed Internet connection i.e. mobility. Sending compressed voice signals over the Internet is called Voice over IP or VoIP. The WiSIP and Prestige are Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) - based wireless VoIP telephones. SIP is an internationally recognized standard for implementing VoIP. The WiSIP and Prestige allow you to make and receive VoIP calls as long you are within range of an IEEE802.11b enabled wireless network.
 
The WiSIP and Prestige are easy to use and configure via the LCD display and keypad. You can even set and manage your settings over the Internet using the WiSIP’s and Prestige's Web Configurator.

    DSP Setting
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Default Voice Codec A voice codec converts voice data to electrical signals for transmission over a network. Choosing a voice codec depends on a tradeoff between transmission speed, sound quality and desired bandwidth usage.  Select G.711u.
Out Volume(-14~14) Select the gain for the microphone onboard the Prestige, where –14 is the minimum (least sensitive) and 14 is the maximum (most responsive). Select 5.
In Volume(-14~14) Select the speaker volume on your phone, where –14 is the minimum (quietest) and 14 is the maximum (loudest).  Select -5.
Receive Buffer A larger receiving buffer allows the Prestige to rearrange data packets that arrive in the wrong order. Packets are dropped if they arrive out of order and the receiving buffer is full. Increasing the buffer size introduces latency. Too large and a significant delay could be introduced over a slow connection, too small and the signal may distort.  Select Large.
Voice Frame per Packet Use smaller packet sizes to reduce the number of speech frames sent per packet. If a small packet does not reach its destination is it less significant than if the packet contained many speech frames. Select Large.
DTMF Relay Dual Tone Multi-Frequency signals are generated when you press a key on the Keypad and communicate information (such as telephone numbers) to the VoIP gateway. Select Inband.
DTMF Payload (0-127) This field allows you to set the DTMF payload type. It is recommended to leave the default setting for this field. Select 101.
