systems. This feature uses noise synthesis techniques to smooth out the noise

level in the direction toward the remote user, providing a more natural call

experience.
There are no related configuration changes.

Automatic Gain Control

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is applicable to hands-free operation and is

used to boost the transmit gain of the local talker in certain circumstances. This

increases the effective user-phone radius and helps with the intelligibility of

soft-talkers.
There are no related configuration changes.

IP Type-of-Service

The “type of service” field in an IP packet header consists of four

type-of-service (TOS) bits and a 3-bit precedence field. Each TOS bit can be set

to either 0 or 1. The precedence field can be set to a value from 0 through 7. The

type of service can be configured specifically for RTP packets and call control

packets, such as SIP signaling packets.
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:

IEEE 802.1p/Q

The phone will tag all Ethernet packets it transmits with an 802.1Q VLAN

header for one of the following reasons:

When it has a valid VLAN ID set in its network configuration

When it is instructed to tag packets through Cisco Discovery Protocol

(CDP) running on a connected Ethernet switch

When a VLAN ID is obtained from DHCP (refer to

DHCP Menu

on page

3-7

)

The 802.1p/Q user_priority field can be set to a value from 0 to 7. The

user_priority can be configured specifically for RTP packets and call control

packets, such as SIP signaling packets, with default settings configurable for

all other packets.
