            Award-winning 
              Voice Quality. 
              With  , you'll 
              experience consistent toll-quality voice connections. Using the 
              Perceptual Speech Quality Measurement (PSQM), Internet Telephony 
              magazine found that  's 
              MultiVOIP gateway delivered exceptional voice quality. In fact, 
              it outranked the competition. 
              
            Interoperability. 
                utilizes the 
              H.323 and SIP protocols to provide complete interoperability with 
              other Internet telephony solutions. The inbound IP call protocol 
              is automatically detected and the voice channel is dynamically configured 
              to match. The outbound IP call protocol is configured with the phone 
              number allowing you the flexibility to call H.323 or SIP devices 
              from the same port. In addition,   
              also supports T.38 real-time fax relay for interoperability among 
              other VOIP equipment. 
            PSTN 
              Fail-over. PSTN fail-over allows  to 
              automatically route calls over the PSTN network when the IP network 
              is congested or completely down. This feature heightens reliability 
              and augments QoS when conditions threaten to undermine voice quality. 
              Utilizing user definable controls,   
              continually checks if the LAN/WAN is threatened by packet loss or 
              latency, or to see if the network is completely down. If it detects 
              a problem,   
              switches to ˇ§survivability modeˇ¨ transparently routing all calls 
              over PSTN lines connected to the  gateway. 
               continues to 
              monitor the connection and automatically switches back to the LAN/WAN 
              once the conditions improve. 
            Advanced 
              Speech Technologies.  supports 
              the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Quality of Service (QoS) 
              protocol which sets priorities for voice and fax traffic and allows 
              transparent delivery. DiffServ helps move time-sensitive voice traffic 
              across even low-bandwidth WAN connections, like 56K and ISDN, with 
              the priority and quality required by voice. Other features such 
              as adaptive echo cancellation, forward error correction, bad frame 
              interpolation, tunable latency and dynamic jitter buffers, further 
              enhance voice quality. 
            Complete 
              Support for Multiple Telephony Interfaces. For maximum 
              investment protection, the  's 
              two, four and eight-port models accommodate changing communication 
              needs by providing a programmable FXS/FXO and an E&M interface 
              for each port. This allows  to 
              connect directly to a phone, fax machine, key phone system or PBX. 
              It automatically detects whether the incoming call is a voice or 
              fax call. The single port  supports 
              FXS and FXO interfaces, while the digital  connects 
              directly to a PBX or PSTN line via T1/E1 or PRI. 
              
            Bandwidth 
              Management. Bandwidth is used only when someone 
              is speaking. The silence suppression/Voice Activity Detection (VAD) 
              feature is an option that frees unused call bandwidth for data traffic. 
              This is significant, since callers are usually silent for 60 percent 
              of the call. When using silence suppression,  also 
              offers Comfort Noise Generation (CNG) at the receiving end so the 
              user knows the line has not dropped. In addition,  supports 
              voice compression standards like G.729 (8:1) and G.723 (10:1). These 
              standards help minimize the bandwidth required for voice. G.723, 
              for instance, is the maximum compression rate and requires only 
              5.3K bps (plus an added 7-8K bps for IP overhead). Even at maximum 
              compression, your VOIP solution will still provide toll-quality 
              voice. 
            Management. 
               is easily managed 
              locally using a windows-based software application or remotely by 
              the central office with a web browser or SNMP.  also 
              includes its own SNMP management software which provides central 
              site configuration, management and call monitoring for all  gateways 
              on the network. It utilizes a Windows interface that makes it easy 
              to view events like usage tracking, live use reporting, call history, 
              and voice quality statistics. In addition, it eases administration 
              by automatically e-mailing call logs based on volume or time. 
            No 
              User Training.  provides 
              single stage dialing by utilizing a Uniform Dialing Plan that is 
              consistent with the E.164 (PSTN) standard numbering plan. This includes 
              automatic appending and stripping of digits to dialed numbers to 
              ensure that users will not require additional training to make VOIP 
              calls. In fact, placing calls with  is 
              like using your existing phone system. 
            Supplementary 
              Services.  supports 
              H.450 supplementary services to provide for call transfer, call 
              forwarding, call hold, call waiting, and name identification. It 
              also supports Q.SIG, an inter-PBX signaling protocol, for networking 
              PBX supplementary services in a multi- or uni-vendor environment. 
              In addition,  supports 
              SIP extensions providing call forward and call transfer capabilities.
