Use the Media Profile window to configure media profile settings for an SBC deployed on an SBC 5400/7000 platform. The media profile object creates a template for the audio compression capabilities to be utilized on server modules of the SBC. This configuration does not apply to SBC SWe deployments.

On the SBC main screen, go to All > System > Media Profile.


Media Profile fields:

Parameter

Description

Compression

Specify the percentage of DSP cores allocated for Compression. The valid range is 0-100.

Tone

Specify the percentage of DSP cores allocated for Tone. The valid range is 0-100.

Make the required changes and click Save.

Note

The total percentage of all DSP cores must always equal 100.


Warning

Changing the Media Profile values

  • places the Active node DSP device in a Dry-Up mode where it does NOT process new calls until the changes are made, and
  • only takes effect once all calls using the affected DSP device are completed.

Update Media Profile during Maintenance Window

The Dry-Up mode mentioned above is not enforced by the Dry-Up timer, so Ribbon recommends changing these values during a maintenance window using the following steps:

  1. Disable the standby and active DSP cards (either gracefully using the Dry-Up Timer, or in Forced mode).
  2. Make the changes to the Media Profile values.
  3. Re-enable the active and standby DSP cards.
