Re: [asterisk-users] Calls in ulaw, not gsm as desired
So I reloaded things and had just gsm set for 2 of my polycom 501 phones. However, the logs say No codec found, which leads me to believe that polycom 501 phones can't use gsm. Does anyone have something like this working? If not gsm, is there a better option with these phones over a low bandwidth situation? Rob Ed Nuñez wrote: Reload will reload your sip.conf file!

Try ilbc if the phone supports (free) or g729 ( better but your asterisk will need license if you want to transcode calls from g729 to other codecs or want to record calls ) . Also check your phones config if its support multiple codecs . . On 02/05/07, Rob Schall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So I reloaded things and had just gsm set for 2 of my polycom 501 phones.

I see this. However, ulaw works fine. I believe alaw works as well. So I don't think their site is either correct, or they didn't mean it like that.

Take a packet capture and look at the Polycom's SDP. It will be listed in the 'a=rtpmap' if iLBC is available.

RE: [asterisk-users] Calls in ulaw, not gsm as desired
It's probably not your codec. Do you have your asterisk box on a Voice VLAN with priority queing configured? If you have mixed traffic on your uplink without VLAN's and priority queuing (or possibly 802.1p), then your QoS will suffer. Changing your codec to GSM will lower bandwidth consumption, but late packets are still late packets. If you can, try to get a measurement of latency to your peering provider before and after setting up QoS. -- Salvatore Giudice [EMAIL PROTECTED] VoIP Security Training, LLC http://VoIPSecurityTraining.com 848 N.

Everything works except for the voice quality to that location isn't very good. To try to resolve this, I wanted to try to make all calls go over gsm. Right now, when i say show sip channels, they all show ulaw signaling. My setup is pretty basic. I have realtime setup with mysql. In the sip.conf file, I did have disallow=all, allow=ulaw, allow=gsm. I removed those lines from there and in my sip_buddies table, I made sure that the extensions i'm using have disallow=all and allow=gsm. However, even once I reloaded the extensions, its still only using ulaw. Any thoughts?

Re: [asterisk-users] Calls in ulaw, not gsm as desired
That's what I did though. So my sip.conf file no longer has any allows in it. Instead, it should be relying on the realtime settings for that.

RE: [asterisk-users] Calls in ulaw, not gsm as desired
How did you set it to 5053? Can you post your sip.conf? You should remove the passwords and ip addresses, etc. Usually, it's just an allow and a disallow statement inserted into each inbound and outbound channel definition. -- Salvatore Giudice [EMAIL PROTECTED] VoIP Security Training, LLC http://VoIPSecurityTraining.com 848 N.
