similar to: g729 codec compatibility voiceage vs Digium

Hello, I'm trying to find out if Asterisk will support plain G729 or G729b. I've read all over that it supports G729, but I can't seem to find any explicit remarks regarding the specific versions of the codec Asterisk will support. I noticed that Digium allows Asterisk users to register and download G729a, but refers to it as G729 on it's pages. I also noticed that on

I am thinking about using the G729 codecs on my endpoint devices and purchasing some G729 licenses for Asterisk but I have several questions: 1. Which G729 codec is sold by Digium for Asterisk, G729, G729A, B...I? 2. If I have G729A on one end and G729B on the other, are they compatible? I have looked all over the place for question 2, but without buying the ITU docs I cannot seem to find this

Hi, i have a problem trying to register the codec G729, my licence is valid but when i try to Register i got the following error: "Registration unsuccessful... Error code: 110 ERROR! Your Internet connection is probably behind a proxy and the Registration program can't communicate with our server, however it has created the file: /var/lib/va-infoclient

I have multiple voiceage g729 licenses installed on a RH9 box, and have a remote C7960 configured to use it (low bandwidth). In calls like: Remote C7960 -> g729 -> asterisk -> g711 -> C7960 the audio is oftentimes rather choppy. Changing the remote 7960 to use g711 seems to eliminate/reduce the choppyness. Any ideas on what might be behind this?

Hi i have buy two license of G729 codec, but after run Registration program i notice this error Registration unsuccessful... Error code: 110 ERROR!

Hello! I am wondering how the differences between G729, G729a, and G729b effect call bridging and server interoperability. For example, can one server use the G729 code with another server that uses the G729A codec? Also, which version is Asterisk set up to use? Thanks! Elliot

I have a fresh 1.4.10.1 installation that appears to have a problem with g729 pass-through. I can see the gateway in question sending an INVITE using g729b. However, the Asterisk is only sending g711 in the INVITE to my Polycom phone. [gateway] disallow=all allow=g729 [phone] disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=alaw allow=g729 There's the codec configs for the gateway and the phone in question.

I am having some problems with g729 with SIP and ZAP channels. 1) I have two g729 licences. Very frequetnly (I don?t know what triggers the error) I get the following warnings and error when I try to place a call via SIP to my X100P. The only way to get out of this is through a restart of *. When the error ocurrs there are no other calls in place. Any ideas? Error Opening channel:2 not

Hey all, Does anyone know what this means? I was running asterisk fine. Installed it on a new pc and I am using the g729b. codec that is optional. I ran the install for the codec it went ok but when I run askterisk via asterisk -vvvgc it gives me this error anyone know? I make sure I entered in the correct reg number. I followed the steps correctly. Too Registration error! Please try

Hi all, i have purchased the g.729 codec from digium. The registration was successful. (with the "old" binary) But there're a few questions: - should not the codec listed in the codec list when i enter "show codecs" ? - the codec is named with g729b but if i enter show codecs there is a codec g729a listed also the g729b is not installed. what is the difference between

Hello All, I looked at the codec supplied by Digium and I think that it is G.729 Annex-B (G.729b - 8kbps). Correct me if I'm wrong. I have also looked at the article from Cisco "VOIP Understanding Codecs: Complexity, Hardware Support, MOS, and Negotiation", which states that G.729b is supported on pretty much everything except for AS5350/5400. Also that G.729b is a "high

According to digium's site, "Note: Please do not attempt to use the G.729 code in a SCSI-only system. We are currently working with VoiceAge to correct this issue." (found at http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=asterisk_g729). Does anyone know what these issues are? Can anyone define SCSI-only system? I know this sounds kinda dumb, but I have a server with SCSI and IDE interfaces,

I've just setup a new asterisk server, and I need to have G.729 working on this system. The problem is I don't have any IDE drives (and therefore no /dev/hda etc), but only /dev/sda.   Is there really *no* way to license G.729 on a SCSI-only system? IMHO it's really stupid to replace an entire server because of a licensing issue. There *must* be a solution.   Anyone, please? Or at

Original Post ---------------- I have an Asterisk related problem with mutualphone. I can connect to any number with any softphone that I am using (iaxcomm, SJPhone, and a few others). Also I have a Grandstream BT 101. But I cannot call (via Asterisk) to mutualphone destinations. Other destinations go fine. A working phone call (e.g. from iaxcomm) gives the following on the console: --

Having purchased a license for 5 g729 channels on Digium's web shop I thought registration and installation would be a snap. NOT. I followed registration instructions to the letter but it failed with that message: ERROR! Your Internet connection is probably behind a proxy and the Registration program can't communicate with our server Which is stupid as my * box is a firewall and sits

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? Thanks, Ricardo Villa

Hello, I am trying to see what I need to do SIP to H323 using G.729. I have Oh323 and SIP working with G711 fine. If I have a SIP client configured to use G729 and H323 client also to G729, how many license should I need to buy from Digium. Many thanks SW

Hello, We are in the process of debugging a voice quality issue for a client of ours that is a VoIP services provider. The client uses a softphone that runs on a pjsip stack. When placing a call using the softphone, it negotiates the use of G729 codec with the remote endpoint (ptime = 20ms). The endpoint transmits RTP packets with encoded G729 payload. VAD/DTX is enabled. We see that the last

Hello all, We have the following problem: When calling via iax, the sound is off after a while - most often after about 5 minutes (sometimes later or earlier) - at one end or at both ends. While the channel is up, and packages are still being transmitted, you just can't hear anything. Sometimes you can hear something just a little, but with the voice greatly distorted, sounding like a

Hello all, I have a cisco AS5300 which is register with a gatekeeper and a Asterisk server also register with the gatekeeper. PSTN ---->AS5300 ---->Gatekeeper ---->Asterisk I set up a conference room on the Asterisk sever (Room No 1234). I try to call from PSTN to AS5300, The AS5300 will call the Asterisk server through the gatekeeper. I manage to get to the start of the conference
