Service Problems

Problems with Quality?

Make sure the device is setup and configured with the recommended settings above, otherwise you can have quality problems with the service.

The main causes of the quality problem is the quality of the link and if sufficient bandwidth is available on the link to carry the VoIP traffic.

To test whether there is enough bandwidth on the link simply just unplug each LAN device on the network and attempt to make an outgoing call via VoIP.
Once you have confirm there is sufficient bandwidth you will need to run a ping test to the SIP server (58.96.1.2 or sip1.exetel.com.au) to ensure there is not problems on the link like high latency or packet loss.

Key tones not getting registered?

Please make sure you have the DTMF field set correctly to RFC 2833 otherwise any key tones you press will not be picked up.
