Recommended QoS Configuration | AdTran NetVanta 3448 | Introduction
Introduction
RingCentral®has taken the “guesswork” out of router selection. Since we
know that Quality of Service (QoS) is paramount to your business, we have
carefully selected and tested a set of dependable routers suitable for
supporting high quality Voice-over-IP conversations.
This document provides recommended configuration settings to ensure
the highest possible QoS for voice calls on the AdTran®NetVanta®3448
router.
Additional routers that have been tested and recommended are shown on
the Recommended Routers page of the RingCentral Customer Care
website.
Supported browsers for test
Internet Explorer 11 or higher (Windows XP, 7, 8 or higher)
Firefox version 36 or higher (Windows and Mac)
Safari version 6.2 or higher (Mac)
Note:
The routers recommended here are quality hardware that we
have tested internally and work reliably with our services.
However, given the constantly updated firmware and physical
changes made by manufacturers and the nature of cloud-based
services, RingCentral cannot control the final configuration of
the hardware or your computer systems/networks, or promise
that any given router will work with your system, or guarantee
that our information is 100% up to date.

Quality of Service
RingCentral®provides reliable, high-quality voice service. Your local network,
Internet connection, and your router all contribute to overall call quality, with
sufficient dedicated bandwidth to voice calls being the biggest factor. To help
you manage your call quality, RingCentral offers tools to check your Internet
connection speed, and instructions to configure the Quality of Service (QoS)
settings of your routers.
The Quality of Service (QoS) settings on your router enable it to give priority to
real time voice traffic over lower priority data traffic, such as large downloads.
This document provides recommended configuration settings to ensure the
highest possible QoS on the AdTran NetVanta 3448 router. After configuring
your router for optimum QoS, select port and firewall settings for mobile and
softphone apps from the table here.
Test your connection capacity
The RingCentral Connection Capacity test will help determine the maximum
number of simultaneous RingCentral calls that can be supported on your
broadband connection. Run this test during normal business hours when the
connection is in use by other applications, including large file downloads.
The capacity test should be run using the maximum number of simultaneous
call connections needed, and should use the G.711 codec selection.
Specific requirements for QoS: Bandwidth 100Kbps up and down per call;
Latency (one-way) less than 150ms; Jitter not to exceed 100ms; Packet loss less
than 3%.
These requirements are the foundation for ensuring your local network can
support satisfactory VoIP. Failure to meet these requirements will result in
poor voice quality.
When the test completes, you will see the recommended number of
simultaneous calls your connection can support while maintaining good quality
voice calls.

Test your connection quality
RingCentral provides a VoIP Quality test that will simulate VoIP calls
between your computer and RingCentral, and provide an estimate of the
voice quality you should expect when using our service. For the most
accurate results, run this test at least three different times throughout a
business day, and during peak usage times, while connected to the network
that you plan to use for RingCentral.
A two-minute test is typically sufficient, while longer tests are useful to find
intermittent problems or to simultaneously test VoIP performance along
with other traffic such as file transfers or remote access.
Select the maximum number of simultaneous users you expect to support,
and set the test duration between 1 and 5 minutes; 2 minutes is considered
sufficient in most instances.
Click jitter and packet loss on the RESULTS SUMMARY page to view the
overall quality of your expected VoIP connection.
MOS score (Mean Opinion Score) refers to a test that has been used for
decades in telephony networks to obtain the human user's view of the
quality of the network. The MOS is the arithmetic mean of all the individual
scores, and can range from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). An MOS score of 4 is good.
