Voice Settings

Tenant-wide call handling behavior, agent workspace options, and SIP/audio configuration for the voice channel

Voice Settings covers tenant-wide configuration for the voice channel — how calls are handled and timed out, agent workspace options, and the underlying SIP and audio behavior used to connect calls.


Accessing Voice Settings

  1. Navigate to Admin (System) > System Settings > Voice
  2. Each field is listed under its section heading, described below

Call Handling

FieldDescription

WebRTC Connection TimeoutHow long to wait for a WebRTC agent connection before giving up

Audio & SIP

FieldDescription
SIP Registration IntervalHow often SIP handsets re-register with the phone system
SIP Keepalive OPTIONS IntervalHow often to send a lightweight SIP OPTIONS ping to keep the connection to the phone system alive through firewalls and NAT. Set to 0 to disable; recommended around 15 seconds for UDP
SIP Keepalive TCP/TLS TimeoutHow often to send a keepalive on TCP/TLS connections to the phone system to hold the connection open through firewalls and NAT. Set to 0 to disable; recommended around 120 seconds. Takes effect the next time the connection is established
RTP Start PortThe start of the UDP port range used for call audio (RTP)
RTP End PortThe end of the UDP port range used for call audio (RTP)
RTP Audio Codec PreferenceThe preferred audio codec order for calls
DTMF Detection ModeHow keypad (DTMF) tones are detected on calls
Delay after DTMF toneThe audio delay applied after a DTMF tone is detected
SIP Contact HeaderThe format of the SIP Contact header sent to the phone system
SIP P-Asserted-IdentityThe format of the SIP P-Asserted-Identity header sent to the phone system
Bridge two SIP parties instead of REFERKeeps two SIP parties on Xima's media bridge instead of sending a SIP REFER to the phone system; enable for switches that reject the REFER used to complete a transfer between two external parties
Web Phone ICE ServersWhich ICE servers agent web phones are offered — see below
Web Phone Force Relay AgentsAgents whose web phone always uses TURN relay servers with media forced through the relay, whatever the tenant-wide Web Phone ICE Servers setting says — for individual agents behind strict egress firewalls that block the media servers' rotating IPs, when the rest of the tenant connects fine
SIP Capacity Overflow DestinationWhere calls are sent when all SIP capacity is in use
Dial Digit Send DelayThe delay between sent dial digits

Web Phone ICE Servers

OptionBehavior
STUN (Recommended)Web phones connect directly to the media server
STUN + TURNA direct connection is preferred, with relay servers available as a fallback
TURNRelay servers are offered, but a direct connection may still be used
TURN + Force RelayMedia always goes through relay servers, for agents behind strict egress firewalls that block the media servers' rotating IPs

Diagnostics

FieldDescription
Logging LevelThe verbosity of voice service logs
