3.3.2.10.1 Configuring Coders 
The 'Coders' page allows you to configure up to 10 coders for the device. The first coder in 
the list has the highest priority and is used by the device whenever possible. If the far-end 
device cannot use the first coder, the device attempts to use the next coder in the list, and 
so on. 
 
 
Notes:  
•  For a list of supported coders and for configuring coders using the ini file, 
refer to the ini file parameter table CodersGroup, described in SIP 
Configuration Parameters. 
•  A coder (i.e., 'Coder Name') can appear only once in the table. 
•  If packetization time and/or rate are not specified, the default value is 
applied. 
•  Only the packetization time of the first coder in the coder list is declared 
in INVITE/200 OK SDP, even if multiple coders are defined. 
•  The device always uses the packetization time requested by the remote 
side for sending RTP packets. 
•  For G.729, it's also possible to select silence suppression without 
adaptations. 
•  If the coder G.729 is selected with silence suppression is disabled, the 
device includes 'annexb=no' in the SDP of the relevant SIP messages. If 
silence suppression is enabled or set to 'Enable w/o Adaptations', 
'annexb=yes' is included. An exception to this logic is when the remote 
gateway is a Cisco device (IsCiscoSCEMode). 
•  For defining groups of coders (which can be assigned to Tel and IP 
Profiles), see ''Configuring Coder Groups'' on page 140. 
•  For an explanation on V.152 support (and implementation of T.38 and 
VBD coders), see ''Supporting V.152 Implementation'' on page 452. 
 
¾  To configure the device's coders: 
1.  Open the 'Coders' page (Configuration tab > VoIP  menu > Coders And Profiles 
submenu > Coders).

2.  From the 'Coder Name' drop-down list, select the required coder.
