6. At “CO Line Index Base” input the starting number of the CO line displayed number. For example if
you set it as 1, when there is an incoming call from port 1, the I phones will display “Incoming Call
CO 1” instead of the extension number of the port, helping you to identify the CO lines being used
7. From “Jitter Buffer Depth” drop down menu, depending on your bandwidth and CODEC, start with a
Jitter Buffer with the minimum value. Jitter Buffer will dynamically adjust its value according to the

higher value of Jitter Buffer will reduce the chance of packet loss during a call but might cause delays
and the lower value will help to transmit the voice packets faster but might cause packet loss
problems.
