[Asterisk-Users] G.729 <-> ZAP ?

[Walter Klomp]

Hi,

I am trying to replace my Cisco 5300 gateway with my new Zap TE405P card. 
Incoming calls and outgoing calls between my cisco and my SIP phone works 
fine on G.729. Recording messages in the asterisk voice-mailbox also works 
fine from both my SIP phone as well as PSTN -> Cisco -> Asterisk. I have 
licensed the digium G.729A codec.

When I connect my ISDN PRI to my Zap card and I call in, Asterisk does not 
like the G.729 anymore and will not send the call to my phone, claiming the 
phone does not support the codec asterisk wants, as I forced it to G.729. 
For some reason incoming and outgoing calls will ALWAYS use G.711a.

Is there anywhere else I need to look to tell ZAP to use G.729 preferrably ?
