7100 Call Quality

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Just got a 7100 up and running an I have run into a couple questions that I will tackle one at a time.  First is Call Quality.  It does not seem to be too good.  Average at best with a polycom 331 and polycom 650.  Are there adjustments that can be made.  We have a t1 dedicated to the 7100 and we are only using 6 simultaneous calls.

Thanks

dgardner,

You should always check the T1 interface for errors to make sure that is not part of the problem.  If T1 errors are present watch this video for guidance on resolving them:

In addition to checking the T1 you should implement a QoS policy that will prioritize voice over data on your network.  This would need to be done on both sides of the T1.  Here is an example configuration script that you can use assuming a PPP interface is the WAN that connects the two sites together.

!

qos map VoIP 10

  match dscp 46 26

  priority 600

!

interface ppp 1

  qos-policy out VoIP

!

NOTE: When you paste this in the PPP interface will drop briefly so you need to do this at a time you can afford a service disruption.  Also, 600k was used for priority voice based on 100k per G.711 call x 6 calls.

More information on QoS can be obtained from our guide or Video Link : 1046.

I hope this helps.  If so, please return to mark a correct answer on this thread or ask any follow up questions.

Thanks,
Matt
