6400LF Converged Network Appliance Installation Guide 

 

 

Call Quality Monitoring  

The 6400LF provides passive call quality monitoring statistics for each VoIP call to enforce 
SLAs and resolve networking problems that negatively affect call quality.  

 

Future-proof Scalability  

The 6400LF is a powerful, flexible platform that can be deployed initially as a low-cost 
WAN access router and then licensed through software for more advanced VoIP features 
and increased call performance. It is the ideal platform for service providers offering DIA, 
hosted VoIP and managed security services or enterprises migrating to converged voice 
and data networks.
