[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Conferencing using g729

[box100]

Thanks for the quick response, William. Yes, I was able to force it by removing ULAW from the sip.conf but I needed that in there. If it is there, then the Sipura as well as X-PRO use ulaw. I didn't really want to adjust the clients because I am planning on having random clients accessing the server and don't want to instruct each one to change whatever hard or softphone they may have over to g729. I wanted that process transparent to the user.
 
I also seem to need more than 2 licenses although the Sipura support g729, so I wouldn't think I would also need a license on the Asterisk box for each one.
 
It looks like the choices are either use a dedicated box only for conferencing and eliminate the possiblity of anyone using ulaw, or just getting more bandwidth so that there is enough for as the 20 clients can connect. Just seems like a lot of bandwidth to have, that's all.
 
The ideal situation would be the ability to only use g729 for the conference rooms and ulaw for everything else, but the bandwidth=low setting doesn't seem to work if ulaw is allowed.
 
Thanks again.

Roger,

I haven't had any problems doing confs w/ g729. My guess is the Sipura
is asking for ulaw first. Try adjusting the codec priority on the
sipura side. IF you still have problems I an get my spa-3000 out and
trying and solve it for you.

Could anyone who has successfully configured Asterisk to use g729 to
conference 10-20 people please post their configs. I purchased and
successfully installed 2 g729 licenses and but when I dial into my
conference number on the Asterisk box from a SPA-2000 set to allow all
codecs, it always appears to connect using ULAW.
 
My iax.conf file includes the following under the general section
 
disallow=all
bandwidth=low
allow=g729
allow=ulaw
 
Thanks,
Roger Easlick
