The paging originator is prompted with the "Paging System Ready" announcement. The paging originator speaks to the targets and ends the page by hanging up.

For Internal Use Only Internet Access Considerations • Determine overall voice and data bandwidth requirements • Each PSTN voice call utilizes 24K using G.729 codec (e.g. 15 simultaneous calls = 360K) • Fax and High-Definition voice calls (calls between VCE users) utilize 80K bandwidth using G.711 codec or T.38 depending on customer preference. • Verify enough bandwidth to address all voice and data requirements • Ensure Examinet test does not reveal too much jitter or latency • Ensure customer internet is stable (doesn’t go out when it rains), and if it is not, confirm customer can live with a similar impact with their voice services • Customer can utilize Verizon or third-party access • Internet Dedicated Access, QoS feature is recommended • Verizon options: HSI, Fios, Internet Dedicated 1.5M/NxT1, Private IP
For Internal Use Only Private IP Access Considerations Benefits • VCE traffic can be prioritized using EF CAR ensuring consistent and measurable voice quality • PIP SLAs on jitter latency and MOS would be supportable for VCE • All voice and SIP signaling will stay on the private network improving the security profile of the service • Increased utilization/efficiency of the customer’s PIP network Technical Considerations • Bandwidth requirements are the same on Private IP as on Internet • You should order sufficient EF CAR to support expected voice bandwidth • The phones will still need to be able to access the Internet for time services (NTP) and to update software and configurations • Calls placed using desktop or mobile clients over data network will be routed to the Internet rather than across PIP network.
