Type
Select the type of voice coder/decoder (codec) that you want the Zyxel Device to 
use. 
G.711 provides high voice quality but requires more bandwidth (64 kbps). G.711 is 
the default codec used by phone companies and digital handsets.
• G.711a is typically used in Europe.
• G.711u is typically used in North America and Japan.
G.726-24 operates at 24 kbps.
G.726-32 operates at 32 kbps.
G.722 is a 7 KHz wideband voice codec that operates at 48, 56 and 64 kbps. By using 
a sample rate of 16 kHz, G.722 can provide higher fidelity and better audio quality 
than narrowband codecs like G.711, in which the voice signal is sampled at 8 KHz.
The Zyxel Device must use the same codec as the peer. When two SIP devices start a 
SIP session, they must agree on a codec.
Select the Zyxel Device’s first choice for voice coder/decoder.
Select the Zyxel Device’s second choice for voice coder/decoder. Select None if 
you only want the Zyxel Device to accept the first choice.
Select the Zyxel Device’s third choice for voice coder/decoder. Select None if you 
only want the Zyxel Device to accept the first or second choice.
