Preferred Codec 
The following codecs are supported on the system:  
G.729 
G.711 
G.726. 
 
Definition 
A Codec (Coder/Decoder) converts analogue voice signals into 
digital signals for transmission over the IP network. 
Use this field to select the type of voice codec that you want the 
system to use. The choice of voice codec is a trade-off between 
transmission speed, sound quality and desired bandwidth usage.  
The G.711 codec provides higher voice quality than G.729 but 
requires 82.8kbps of bandwidth as opposed to 26.8kbps for 
G.729. The system can connect to other VoIP systems that use 
the same codec. 
Backup Codec 1 
This field specifies the first backup codec to use in the event 
that the far end does not support the Preferred Codec.
