Voice Stream
In the figure above, a call comes from PSTN to the gateway and connects to AltiGen IP phone 210.
There are two SIP signaling paths. The first signaling path is between the MultiVoIP gateway and MaxCS.
The second path is between the AltiGen IP phone and MaxCS.
The voice stream goes directly between the MultiVoIP gateway and the AltiGen IP phone, so that the
voice quality is better and the latency is low. This path barely consumes intranet bandwidth. This is the
default configuration.
Here is an alternative configuration:
In MaxCS Administrator, select PBX > Extension Configuration.
If the Connect Voice Stream to Server option is checked, then the voice steam will always go back to the
server. In this configuration, the path will consume more intranet bandwidth, the voice quality will be
become degraded, and the latency will become higher.
