Default VoXaLot Codecs

When one has chosen a VoIP service provider to include in a dialplan there is a provision for stipulating which codecs to use, or exclude, in relation to each of them, EXCEPT VoXaLot itself!

Some of my calls are VoXaLot to VoXaLot calls, and not being able to stipulate which codec is going to be used, is sometimes a major PITA, depending on the equipment and network being used.

Would someone please fix this oversight (?) ASAP.

Default VoXaLot to VoXaLot - RTP server codec settings not relevant

It's not relevant in the case of VoXaLot to VoXalot, as VoXaLot's RTP proxy is not used.

The codecs used will be whatever is negotiated between your SIP device and the endpoint SIP device where your SIP call is sent (ie, the codec settings on the SIP device of the VoXaLot user you are calling). The call will fail (eg with "488 Not Acceptable Here") if codec negotiation with the other device fails.

The best you can do is set the codecs you want to use in your SIP device, and hope that the other SIP device supports one of them.

OK. I had misunderstood the situtation.

Yes that's right. The only time Codecs come into play with Voxalot is when the call goes via one of your embedded providers.

Hi,martin

Do all Sip Broker access gateways support the same CODECS?

Assume my ATA registered at Voxalot, only supports G.711-A, a Sip Broker access gateway only supports G.711-U (not support G.711-A). A caller access this Sip Broker number and dial my Voxalot account " *061-25XXXX ". The call will fail? or the transcoding will happen?

Thanks.

I've got my Atcom AT-530 SIP phone registered to us.voxalot.com. It does not support the gsm codec.

If I send a SIP call to *010 <voxalot number> @sipbroker.com using the X-Ten Lite softphone, stipulating the gsm codec only, the call fails with "480 Temporarily Unavailable":

I think it is a special arrangement only for the SIP Broker PSTN access numbers & Voxalot(*010 *031 *061) users. otherwise, Voxalot RTP proxy server will ....

Another : assume my ATA registered at Voxalot, only supports G.723, i use ATA to dial *747-1-747XXXXXXX(a Gizmoproject num) via Sipbroker, as i know, Gizmo does not support G.723. Voxalot will not transcode and the call will fail.

Maybe, Voxalot should make a form to show when transcoding will happen and when the call will fail for CODECS match and all Voxalot supporting CODECS...all Voxalot supporting transcoding types . It also can help members improve voice quality by ourselves.
