[Asterisk-Users] Cisco ATA and G729

[kido noagbodji]

Hello all,

>* However, when i set my Cisco ATA to G711, i can't hear any sound unless I press at least two or three keys(any random keys). I am using the demo context of >extension.conf file. Can that be due to a fast start problem? Anyone knows how to checkthe faststartcapabilities of an ATA 186?

Funny enough when i disabled the gsm, g729, g723 codec, it works fine (no need to press any key), with the alaw and the ulaw codec. I guess the ATA default to the alaw and the ulaw when it does not find the other codecs, However that is a lot of bandwidth i am wasting ...

Before i licensed the g729 codec, is there a way i can "test" it?

Many Thanks

Kido

  Hi all,

  I am new to asterisk. I was able, but not without pain to install it on a FreeBSD box. I set up a cisco ATA 186 and the SJlabs softphone to work with the PBX.
  Three remarks:
  * On the SJphone, i use the GSM and the G711 (ulaw and alaw) codec. In the h323.conf file i enabled those codec. Everything works great!!!
  * However, when i set my Cisco ATA to G711, i can't hear any sound unless I press at least two or three keys(any random keys). I am using the demo context of extension.conf file. Can that be due to a fast start problem? Anyone knows how to checkthe faststartcapabilities of an ATA 186?
  * Also when i set my ATA codec to g729 and in asterisk i allow=g729, i get a very low weird sound. What is that due to? I am guessing that i don't have the codec installed on the system. Is there an open source g729 codec available for FreeBSD?

  Any help will be very much appreciated,

  Thanks.

  Kido
