Select how the Router assigns priorities to various upstream traffic flows.
•None: Disables auto priority mapping and has the Router put packets into the
queues according to your classification rules. Traffic which does not match any of
the classification rules is mapped into the default queue with the lowest priority.
•Ethernet Priority: Automatically assign priority based on the IEEE 802.1p priority
level.
•IP Precedence: Automatically assign priority based on the first three bits of the TOS
field in the IP header.
•Packet Length: Automatically assign priority based on the packet size. Smaller
packets get higher priority since control, signaling, VoIP, internet gaming, or other
real-time packets are usually small while larger packets are usually best effort data
packets like file transfers.

Chapter 14 VoIP 102
PRACK (RFC 3262) RFC 3262 defines a mechanism to provide reliable transmission of SIP provisional
response messages, which convey information on the processing progress of the
request. This uses the option tag 100rel and the Provisional Response
ACKnowledgement (PRACK) method.
Select Supported or Required to have the Router include a SIP Require/Supported
header field with the option tag 100rel in all INVITE requests. When the Router
receives a SIP response message indicating that the phone it called is ringing, the
Router sends a PRACK message to have both sides confirm the message is received.
If you select Supported, the peer device supports the option tag 100rel to send
provisional responses reliably.
If you select Required, the peer device requires the option tag 100rel to send
provisional responses reliably.
Select Disabled to turn off this function.
DNS SRV Enabled

its buttons. You should use the same mode your VoIP service provider uses.
RFC2833 - send the DTMF tones in RTP packets.
Inband - send the DTMF tones in the voice data stream. This method works best when
you are using a codec that does not use compression (like G.711). Codecs that use
compression (like G.726) can distort the tones.

looking up the IP address of the default gateway for your computer. To do this in most Windows
computers, click Start > Run, enter cmd, and then enter ipconfig. The IP address of the Default
Gateway might be the IP address of the Router (it depends on the network), so enter this IP address
in your Internet browser.
3If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 1.2 on page 7.
I forgot the password.
1The default password is the first 6 digits of the Router’s MAC address. Please refer to the label
sticker at the device’s box for the MAC address.
2If you have changed the password but can’t remember it, you have to reset the device to its factory
defaults. See Section 1.2 on page 7.
I cannot see or access the Login screen in the web configurator.
1Make sure you are using the correct IP address.
• The default IP address is https://192.168.1.1:8000.
• If you changed the IP address (Section 5.1 on page 43), use the new IP address.
• If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, see the troubleshooting suggestions for I
forgot the IP address for the Router.
2Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See Section 1.2
on page 7.
3Make sure your Internet browser does not block pop-up windows and has JavaScript and Java
enabled.
4Reset the device to its factory defaults, and try to access the Router with the default IP address. See
Section 1.2 on page 7.
5If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced
suggestions.

• Move your wireless device closer to the AP if the signal strength is low.
• Reduce wireless interference that may be caused by other wireless networks or surrounding
wireless electronics such as cordless phones.
• Place the AP where there are minimum obstacles (such as walls and ceilings) between the AP and
the wireless client.
• Reduce the number of wireless clients connecting to the same AP simultaneously, or add
additional APs if necessary.
• Try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. If the
wireless client is sending or receiving a lot of information, it may have too many programs open
that use the Internet.
23.6 Phone Calls and VoIP
The telephone port won’t work or the telephone lacks a dial tone.
1Check the telephone connections and telephone wire.
I can access the Internet, but cannot make VoIP calls.
1The VOIP light should come on. Make sure that your telephone is connected to the VOIP port.
2You can also check the VoIP status in the System Info screen.
3If the VoIP settings are correct, use speed dial to make peer-to-peer calls. If you can make a call
using speed dial, there may be something wrong with the SIP server, contact your VoIP service
provider.
