Abstract
A data router is programmed on power up to be automatically configured for VoIP packet priority by setting the correct ISP speeds. A relatively long term speed test is automatically done as part of the data router boot up. The speed test includes connecting to a large download/upload file on a remote location on the Internet. The initial ISP burst speed value is ignored when configuring the data router.
Claims4
An improved method of configuring a PBX router for improved VoIP data packet priority comprising:
- a) connecting said PBX router to an Internet service provider,
- b) establishing an initialization program in said PBX router which executes upon power up,
- c) providing for a testing data file to be located on a remote Internet website,
- d) providing programming instructions in said initialization program for said PBX router to
- i) temporarily disable any local network traffic,
- ii) connect to said remote Internet website,
- iii) utilize said testing data file in a speed test of data transfer to and from said Internet service provider, wherein said testing data file causes said speed test to be between 30 and 600 seconds long inclusive,
- iv) obtain a lowest measured upload speed and a lowest measured download speed from said speed test, and
- v) configure said PBX router utilizing said lowest measured upload speed and said lowest measured download speed for traffic management of said VoIP data packets,
- whereby said PBX router manages priority of said VoIP data packet streams and Internet data streams when in use.

An improved method of configuring a data router for improved high priority data packet streams comprising:
- a) connecting said data router to an Internet service provider,
- b) establishing an initialization program in said data router which executes upon power up,
- c) providing for a testing data file to be located on a remote Internet site,
- d) providing programming instructions in said initialization program for said data router to
- i) temporarily disable any local network traffic,
- ii) connect to said remote Internet website,
- iii) utilize said testing data file in a speed test of data transfer to and from said Internet service provider, wherein said testing data file causes said speed test to be between 30 and 600 seconds long inclusive,
- iv) obtain a lowest measured upload speed and a lowest measured download speed from said speed test, and
- v) configure said data router utilizing said lowest measured upload speed and said lowest measured download speed for high priority data traffic management,
- whereby said data router manages high priority data streams and Internet data streams when in use.
