IP Media Parameters

The IP media parameters are described in the table below.

IP Media Parameters

Parameter

Description

'IPMedia Detectors'

configure voip > media ipmedia > ipm-detectors-enable

[EnableDSPIPMDetectors]

Enables the device's DSP detectors for detection features such as AMD.

[0] Disable (default)
[1] Enable

Note:

For the parameter to take effect, a device restart is required.
The DSP Detectors feature is available only if the device is installed with a License Key that includes this feature. For installing a License Key, see License Key.

'Number of Media Channels'

configure voip > sbc settings > media-channels

[MediaChannels]

Defines the maximum number of DSP channels that can be used for features requiring DSP resources, for example, coder transcoding, DTMF transcoding, and answer machine detection (AMD). This parameter limits the use of DSP channels as specified in the device's License Key.

The default is -1, meaning that the maximum number of transcoding sessions is according to the License Key ('Transcoding Sessions'). For more information on the License Key, see License Key.

Note:

To enable transcoding, you also need to configure the 'SBC Performance Profile' parameter to Optimized for Transcoding.
Most SBC features that require DSP resources use two DSP channels. For example, if the device needs to perform coder transcoding between two endpoints where one uses the G.711 coder and the other G.729, and a maximum of 100 concurrent transcoding sessions need to be supported, the device uses 200 DSP channels. For this scenario, you would configure the parameter to 200.
If you modify the parameter to a value that is less than the number of DSP channels currently being used by the device for active calls, the device allows these calls to continue (doesn't terminate them).

configure voip > media ip-media-settings > http-streaming-playback-requests-timeout

[HttpStreamingPlaybackRequestsTimeout].

Defines a timeout for no packets received (e.g., due to playback underruns) from the text-to-speech (TTS) service provider can now be configured.

Note: The parameter is for AudioCodes internal use only and is applicable only when the device operates with AudioCodes VoiceAI Connect Enterprise.
