[Asterisk-Users] Problems with H323/G729--No NATting and no Dynamic IP involved...

[Rodolfo Grave]

Hello... I'm having problems with H323/G729 setup. Below is the output
of h.323 debug when making a call. I use a SIP phone connected to an *
box in the same LAN. The * connects to a h323/g729 PSTN terminator
through internet. Calls rings and are answered in the other side, but I
get no sound at all nor the other side does (complete silence in both
sides). I thought this would just happen when:

1- Codecs conflicts
2- NATting problems

Neither of this circumstances occur now. * have a public IP and no
Firewall nor NAT device. Used codec, as you can see, is G729... my only
concern is that I see G.729A{sw} and G.729{sw} as different codecs in
the Allowed Codecs table.... and then you see "Started logical channel:
receiving ****G.729{sw}****" and "Started logical channel: sending
*****G.729A{sw}****"... Notice the A in the G729 receiving and the lack
of it in sending.

Might be this subtle difference the cause of my problem?

Thanks in advance for the help.
