Draytek voip setup

You can also receive calls; your ITSP can allocate you a regular phone number in your own area code so that people can call you. We recommend DrayTEL as your ITSP which can provide a standard account free of charge and can allocate incoming numbers after your first call credit purchase. DrayTEL also have monthly packages with inclusive minutes. You can find out more about DrayTEL and their latest pricing on their web site. Other ITSPs are available. As well as cost saving on your call charges, with VoIP you'll save on line rental compared with getting extra phone lines installed so VoIP is a great way to get additional line capacity for the cost of your router the DrayTek VoIP enabled routers do not cost much more than the standard routers.

You also won't have to wait for new lines to be installed, which is especially useful if you have only occasional or temporary requirements. This means, for example, that when someone dials your phone number it can ring in your home office, you work office and your holiday home office all at the same time, so wherever you are, you can answer the call! DrayTek routers also integrate your standard analogue line, so the connected phones can still be used to make or receive calls on your analogue line.

The 'digit map' feature enables you to set rules about which of your ITSPS or the analogue line you use for particular outgoing calls. In the event of a power cut, your connected phone fails over to the analogue line automatically.

This allows you to keep crystal clear VoIP calls, all while not using up the entirety of your bandwidth. To setup a Draytek's Quality of Service settings, you'll first need to log into the interface. To do this, you'll need to find the IP address of your Draytek the standard being It is advised as noted in the picture above to run a speed test on your internet to get your speeds so that it can be adjusted correctly where needed.

Each call over VoIP with us is 80kbs for every call both inbound and outbound. For example, a sync triggered for a Dropbox account could create a spike in bandwidth usage and cause existing VoIP calls to experience packet drop.

Conventional QoS does not resolve the problem as the router needs to understand VoIP and effectively manage and prioritize the traffic. Draytek has implemented an innovative VoIP QoS technology with an algorithm designed to preserve VoIP calls quality by dynamically discovering VoIP calls and throttling other traffic to always ensure that there is bandwidth for the next call.

Even the most advanced traffic shaping solutions in the market can take few seconds to throttle traffic, especially inbound traffic when more bandwidth is needed for VoIP Calls, momentarily affecting VoIP quality across the system.
