Troubleshooting Tips
The RxType/TxType indicates which codec is being used for the call between
•
this phone and the other device. If they do not match, verify that the other
device supports the codec conversation or that a transcoder is in place to
support the service.
The size of the sound samples (RxSize/TxSize) should match on both
•
devices.
If you are experiencing gaps in your voice calls, check the AvgJtr and MaxJtr
•
values. A large variance between the two values might indicate a problem
with jitter on the network or periodic high rate of network activity.
