Setting network performance thresholds

Last Updated : Sep 21, 2016 |

About this task

You require a craft login or a higher login to perform this administration.

Communication Manager provides control over four IP media packet performance thresholds to streamline VoIP traffic. You can use the default values for these parameters, or you can change the values to fit the needs of your network. These threshold values apply only to IP trunks and do not affect other IP endpoints.

Procedure

  1. On the SAT screen, type change signaling-group n.
  2. On the Signaling Group screen, in the Group Type field, type h.323 or sip.
  3. In the Bypass If IP Threshold Exceeded field, type y.

    If bypass is activated for a signaling group, the system compares the ongoing measurements of network activity with the values in the IP-options system-parameters screen. If the current measurements exceed the values in the IP-options system-parameters screen, the bypass function terminates use of the network path for the signaling group. The following actions are taken when thresholds are exceeded:

    • Existing calls on the IP trunk associated with the signaling group are not maintained.

    • Incoming calls do not arrive at the IP trunks on the bypassed signaling group and are diverted to alternate routes.

    • Outgoing calls are blocked on this signaling group.

      If so administered, blocked calls are diverted to alternate routes, either IP or circuits, as determined by the administered routing patterns.

      Note:

      Use the default values.
