Transcoding between CME (G729 to G711)

[Leo Salcie Tejeda]

Hi,

Im tryng to make  transcoding between two CME Version 15.1(3)T3, both have almost the same configuration but after have dial the phone number I received fastbusy tone not matther in which direction the call is made. Transcoding DSPFarm in both ends are registered.

Scenario:

                                               H323

CME 1 (Codec: G729) <------------------------> CME 2 (Codec: G711)

Any help would be appreciated

Regards

[Ayodeji Okanlawon]

Try this on cme 1

dial-peer voice 103 voip

incoming called number 3...

codec g711u

no vad

Then do a test call from cme 2 to cme 1..

[Leo Salcie Tejeda]

it worked, but with dial-peer 103 there's not need to use transcoding because is G711 to G711...At least we know that calls are rececived.

[Ayodeji Okanlawon]

The way you have set it up it cant work.. The reason is because the call cant even get into the gateway. Your call from cme 2 is g711, your incoming dial-peer on cme 1 is g729. So at the ingress of the router the call does not even gets accepted. Transcoding cant be invoked like that.

If you want to do G729 over the IP network or WAN then configure your dial-peer to do G729. Your internal phones will still use G711. So internally you will use G711 and calls to the CME2 will use G729.

In this setup I dont see what you need a xcoder for. IP Phones can do both G729 and G711.

[Leo Salcie Tejeda]

Thanks for you response, I would like to force a call using transcoding just for test porpose.

Do you know how can I achive that? I thought with this scenario I'll be able.

[Ayodeji Okanlawon · Accepted solution]

If you want to force xcoding..

On cme 2, configure the dial-peer to cme 1 to use G723 codec.

On cme 3, configure this..

dial-peer voice 103 voip

incoming called number 3...

codec g723

no vad

Ensure that your xcoder has G723 codec as one of the codecs.

The call should invoke a xcoder because cisco ip phones cant do G723.

[Leo Salcie Tejeda]

It worked great!!!! I need to enable the codec G.723 in the trascoding dsp farm in both CME and enable the dial-peer codec G.723 line too.

Just one question more, If both CME have transcoding resources which one will be assignig the trasnscode channel? In my case the CME1 always assign the trasncode channel.

Thanks aokanlawon, Im very glad... today I have learned a lot from you!!!!

[Ayodeji Okanlawon]

Leo,

I am glad I could help. We are all learning and it is fun to learn and solve problems.

Ideally the side that origiates the call should invoke a xcoder.  This is the call flow.

phone--g711-->cme1-------g723--->|-----g723----->cme2---g711-----phone

We can investiage this further for learning purposes

1. Place a call from cme 1 to cme 2 when the call is establihed, do the ff:

sh voip rtp connection

show sdspfarm sessions

2. Repeat the same for cme 2 to cme 1. From here we should see what we are looking for. You can post the output here.
