Cisco 7911 with sip soft. Codec negotiation problem.

Hello,

I have two Cisco 7911 phones registered to sip provider. I can make calls between endpoints and to pstn. But there is only one problem.

All calls are established using g.711.

In configuration file (SEP..cnf.xml) which is stored on TFPT server I use following command

<preferredCodec>g729a</preferredCodec>

Is that argument correct?

I have tried to change that to: g729, G.729A....and more.

Nothing has changed. I did test with Polycom with g711 codec disabled. Connection between 7911 i Polycom was established using g729. When all codecs were available on Polycom- connection used g711.

Logs shows following IP Phone behavior

It seems like "preferred codec" is ignored. Cisco endpoint during negotiation starts witch g711 codec.

Do you know any solutions?

Thanks in advance

We have made some additional tests using Cisco IP Phone 7960. We have set preferred codec to g729 (we fill in configuration file exactly that argument).

Connection from 7960 endpoint to pstn was established using g729.

Connection from 7960 to 7911 was established using g711.

It seems that 7911 really doesnt understand argument in preferred codec line in config.

Do you have any reference to xml configuration file of new cisco phones (7XX1)?

Thanks,

Piotrek

Hi

I have seen this problem trying to get G.722 working between two Cisco phones registered to a 3rd party SIP Proxy.

The problem I believe is that in a CallManager environment, the CallManager rewrites the SDP offers based upon region configuration to ensure the correct codecs are used. So in non-CallManager environment, the SIP Proxy needs to replicate this behaviour. It seems like the SIP phones just ignore the preferred codec settings.
