The last few days I have been troubleshooting some quality issues. While doing this I found a tool that has been very helpful and wanted to share it with the group.

It is easy to monitor the audio quality on a Yealink phone, and it can be done remotely. I was able to watch in real-time as a user was on a call.

Directions
  • Log into the Yealink phone from the administrative portal. You can get the IP address by pressing the ok button on the phone. The default user/pass is admin/admin until it is changed.
  • Go to the Settings tab
  • Click on the Voice monitoring tab on the left
  • Change the following settings:
  • VQ RTCP-XR Session Report = Enabled
  • VQ RTCP-XR Interval Report = Enabled
  • Period for Interval Report = 5
  • Display Report Options on Web = Enabled
  • Voice RTCP-XR Report = Enabled
  • Add the options you want to the Enabled column
  • Click Confirm
  • Make a call using this phone.
  • On the top menu, go to Status
  • Click on the RTP Status tab on the left
Now you can view the stats of the last call. The stats will also update every 5 seconds during the call. This value is set above in the "Period for Interval Report" settings. The value range is 5-20.

Extra information:

Packet Loss - If Packets are lost during a call, the user will hear an audio drop or 'glitch'. In most scenarios, the packets are lost in the local network or internet connection from the customer.

MOS - Mean Opinion Score - is a measure used to give a call a score. The MOS is expressed as a single rational number, typically in the range 1–5, where 1 is the lowest perceived quality, and 5 is the highest perceived quality. VoIP calls often are in the 3.5 to 4.2 MOS range. The following chart can be used as a guide for VoIP MOS testing and a good comparison for voice quality.

4.3 - 5.0Very satisfied
4.0 - 4.3Satisfied
3.6 - 4.0Some users are satisfied
3.1 - 3.6Many users dissatisfied
2.6 - 3.1Nearly all users are dissatisfied
1.0 - 2.6All users are dissatisfied

@whut I didn't even know the CDR page had that detail. Now that I'm looking at it, the numbers are close but the Yealink page might have slightly lower numbers. When I say lower, I'm talking like 4.3 vs 4.5.

Awesom guide, I did not know that was even possible within the phone. I had always been using CDR for call quality checks. :)
