asterisk users - Jul 2003 - Codecs for use with Cisco 7960 and ATA-186

Are there any other codecs that can be used with the 7960 and the
ATA-186? I have been using the default gsm codec and wanted to see if I
could make use of something a little less bandwidth intensive.

Actually, I found that both the 7960 and ATA-186 support several codecs.
So the question should have been which is the best codec to make use of?
According to the literature, they  support G729, G723.1 and G.711
u-law/a-law.

Hi,
For local connection to Asterisk (LAN), G.711 is the best option.

I think that G.711 is the default codec that my system is using. At my
home office I am running through a DSL connection with a Cisco ATA-186,
and I notice that when I call to my office which are 7960, I get
problems with the office hearing me, sound issues, and other things... I
thought that I should try to use a low bandwidth codec that is less than
64k.

GSM doesn't work with the 7960 or the ATA-186.  They will default to
g.711u/a.

 

The lowest bandwidth you can get with them is the g729 codec that can be
licensed from Digium.
