Use 2 diff codec in 1 Network Region? 1

[lopes1211]

Is this possible? I have a site that only has 1 C-LAN and 1 Medpro so they are both in NR3. I have about 10 IP phones onsite using this as well as about 10 softphones off-site over the internet using road warrior. I want the on-site phones to use G711a with softphones using something else like G723. Any way to do this without getting a 2nd medpro/c-lan set?

Yes you can. Use the ch ip-network-map and put the softphone range in and and point it to a different network region. Before you do this go setup a new network region and make sure it has permissions to talk to region 3 via codec x, where codec x is g.729a or whatever.

Forgot to tell you that you probably want to add g.729a to the NR3 codec too as a 2nd choice. So when a softphone talks to a hardphone they will work via g.729a (or whatever codec you choose).

But if I setup a new network region for the softphones (let's say region 99), wouldn't the PBX need a C-Lan card in region 99 for the softphone to register to? and furthermore a medpro in region 99 for VOIP resources?

No. If you specify the network region as directed above, you shouldn't need a new CLAN nor a Medpro. I've got a similar situation with a client using S8300 and G700 Media Gateways....

The user using the IP softphone can also control the IP codec set selection, depending on how the answer the "Bandwidth" question. If they say "LAN", uses G.711, if they say "WAN", uses G.729, if the say dialup, uses G.723... So you really don't need to do anything special for IP softphones, justmake sure you have 3 coecs setup in the IP-Codec set for the region. G.711MU 1st, then G.729, and finally G.723

but it will still fallback if there is no g711 defined ....correct? as in if i did NOT put all 3 in the ip-codec set, and only put g729 and g723 and the softphone user picked LAN (with no g711 available), the softphone would still register and use g729...right?

yes. You should administer all 3 codecs though, and explain to the users than "LAN" means they are LOCAL on the company LAN, not their home LAN

I didn't want to administer all 3 because I wanted to label this region "Remote VOIP Users" which would include and be used by 4610SW VPN Hardphones. I just wanted to confirm I could leave G711 out for that reason. Thanks for all of the info!!!
