Hi Tomaz -

It sounds like what you want to do is configure "voice-class codec" to
create a list of codecs you want to support on the VoIP dial-peer
Also, if this is using an NM-HDV, you can configure the codec
complexity for the module to be either "medium" or "high".

Configuring for high complexity will cause the router to use g729; if
configured for medium complexity it will use g729a. You can configure
the HDV module like this:

voice-card <slot>
codec complexity [medium | high]

Here's a sample codec-class configuration:

voice-class codec 1
codec preference 1 g729r8
codec preference 2 g711ulaw

then, apply it to the dial-peer:

dial-peer voice <x> voip
voice-class codec 1

Regards,

Clay

Hi Clayton,
Thanks for you valuable information (it helped). From my perspective it seem
that 2600 accepts on POTS dial-peer any available codec, it is only possible
to configure codec preferences on VOIP dial-peer. Are there any
possibilities to limit available codecs on POTS dial-peer (just G.729).

Best regards,
Tomaz

Hi Tomaz -

On the POTS side you can only change the compand-type to be either
a-law or u-law (g.711). Bear in mind, this is not really changing the
codec on the telephony side. It's just telling the router how to
interpret the PCM data in the bearer channels from the telephony
switch.

There really isn't the concept of a codec, per se, on the telephony
side.

Regards,

Clay
