Hi, Do the g729 codec licenses for Asterisk work on a SIP environment (only SIP UAs running g729 + Asterisk)? I would like to buy a couple for a SIP test lab but I have not found any documentation on wether it works for SIP UAs or not. The Digium page only mentions: "The G.729 codec works with all Digium cards." Can somebody tell me please?

Its just like any other codec so it should work in SIP, IAX or any other connection..> Hi, > > Do the g729 codec licenses for Asterisk work on a SIP environment (only SIP UAs running g729 + Asterisk)?

Thanks Wipeout. I ordered a couple of licenses and have them running in the lab. The codec works pretty good so far. I noticed that the transmitt packet time of the g.729 codec seems to be hardcoded at 20ms. Is there anyway to adjust that via a config file? Most implementations allow you to adjust it between 10-60ms.

Ricardo Have you tested g729 between two endpoints (SIP) for over 5mins? My experience has been that after 3-4 mins both ends begin to get huge delays and after a few minutes is impossible to continue the conversation. HAve you done any testing similar to mine? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ricardo Villa" <ricvil@telesip.net> To: <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com>; <wipeout@linuxmail.org> Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 5:10 PM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] g729 Codec> Thanks Wipeout.

Hi Dan, I have tested calls between two ATA186s both running g729 for 10 - 15 minutes and the codec has perfomed well and with no delays. This has been on a LAN environment. Next week I plan to test it on the Internet with SIP endpoints thousands of miles apart. I will let you know how it turns out.

Hello People, I am a little unsure about the licensing of the digium g729 codec. Can anyone advice me on the following scenario? I have a digium card (T100) 30 channels and I want to use it to provide conference service. I wonder how many licence should I buy if: 1. I only use the PRI to connect callers to the asterisk. 2. Besides PRI, callers can also call in to asterisk from ip endpoints. I already have 5 g729 licence from digium. In case I need to add some more to make a total of 10, can I just buy another 5 licences and register them to asterisk? I am confused since 1 licence key is valid only to how many licence you purchase in one order. Separate order will have a different licence key. I wonder if I can run registration twice with different licence key on a single asterisk server. Please help
You should only need licenses for the users connected via IP **AND** using G729.> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users- > admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Chee Foong > Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 11:48 PM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] G729 codec > > pamAssassin 2.55 (1.174.2.19-2003-05-19-exp) > > Hello People, > > I am a little unsure about the licensing of the digium g729 codec.

Adam, The codec license installer segfaults asterisk on my scsi system. I believe Digium is very intent on resolving the issue but voiceage may be monkeying around.

Adam, a patch would be fantastic. I am using chan_h323. I'm under the impression that the problem had to do with my system being scsi based instead of IDE based - the license installer read something off of the IDe bus.

Hi Everyone, Is G729 more sensitive to packet loss or delays due to it's higher compression. If I've generally got the bandwidth available, am I best sticking to ulaw.

However, ulaw sounds better, especially for things which are not a single human talking. For example, music on hold sounds awful through G.729. Regards, Steve

I think it might have something to do with endpoints misbehaving when they use VAD. Maybe sending a "start VAD" frame continously, instead of doing nothing or "restarting normal media". -- Andreas Sikkema Rits tele.com Scheepmakersstraat 11 3011 VH Rotterdam t: +31 (0)10 2245544 f: +31 (0)10 2245540
Hi all I have a question and hope it has not been answered before. I have searched the forums and mail but have not seen this answered conclusively. Does the G729 codec and licenses which digium sales for asterisk use g729 a or b or both; I have had a hard time getting a conclusive answer. If it does use g729b how could I show evidence to a client that it is b and not a? Thanks Sincerely TKG -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At the cli prompt type "show codecs". In the right hand column it states G.729A.

Floating point executions use to take more time than useing fixed point calculations. With todays math coprocessors especially with SSE floating point calculations actually preform well on Intel x86 platform. Fixed point calculations use a fixed decimal place to perform calculations with some performance increases with less precision and accuracy. Cheers, Max

Hi all, Can some one advice that where can we get the best price G729 codec can can work smoothly with Asterisk?
The best choice is with digium store itself. www.digium.com On 11/03/06, chan@isysnetsolution.com <chan@isysnetsolution.com> wrote:> Hi all, > Can some one advice that where can we get the best price G729 codec can can work smoothly with > Asterisk? > > > > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > Asterisk-Users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > > >
