[Asterisk-Users] miserable time with Cisco ATA186

[Matthew Simpson]

If I turn allow=ulaw on only, asterisk tries to use it

a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000

but the ATA says it doesn't have it:

Answering/Requesting with root capability 4
Answering with non-codec capability 0x1(G723)

If I turn allow=alaw on only or with allow=ulaw, asterisk sends it, the ATA
says it has it [alaw], but it still won't negotiate it.

I think the stupid ATA is just determined to use G723 no matter what... I
have LBRCodec set to 3 which should have it try to use G729, but it still
tries to use G723.  The AudioMode setting has a parameter bit to "Enable
G711 only", but I'm not sure how that bit thing works.  Either the default
0x00150015 or the recommended 0x00140014 fails.  [btw, bit 1 should be "1"
to enable G711 only, if someone can help me there].

I'm seriously about to punt this thing into the garbage.

Help!

thanks,
matt
