Version 7.2 619 Mediant 1000B Gateway & E-SBC
User's Manual 28. SBC Overview
The allowed coders configured for the SIP entity include G.711 and G.729.
The device removes the G.723 coder from the SDP offer, re-orders the coder list so that
G.711 is listed first, and sends the SIP message containing only the G.711 and G.729
coders in the SDP.
The allowed coders are configured in the Allowed Audio Coders Groups table. For more
information, see ''Configuring Allowed Audio Coder Groups'' on page 389.
Note:
If you assign the SIP entity an Allowed Audio Coders Group for coder
restriction and a Coders Group for extension coders (i.e., voice transcoding), the
allowed coders take precedence over the extension coders. In other words, if an
extension coder is not listed as an allowed coder, the device does not add the
extension coder to the SDP offer.
28.5.4 Coder Transcoding
By default, the device forwards media packets transparently (i.e., no media negotiation)
between SIP endpoints. However, when there are no common coders between two SIP
entities that need to establish voice communication (i.e., the SDP answer from one SIP
entity doesn't include any coder included in the SDP offer previously sent by the other), you
can configure the device to perform audio coder transcoding between the inbound and
outbound legs in order to enable media flow between them.
Transcoding may also be performed in scenarios where the same coder has been chosen
between the legs, but where coder transrating is required. For example, the coders may
use different coder settings such as rate and packetization time (G.729 at 20 ms to G.729
at 30 ms).
The coders that the device adds to the SDP offer on the outbound leg is referred to as
extension coders. The extension coders are configured using Coder Groups (see
''Configuring Coder Groups'' on page 385), which you need to then assign to the IP Profile
associated with the SIP entity.
