[Asterisk-Users] Codec not negotiating

Fri, 01 Apr 2005 12:27:23 -0800

ok... I've trying to fix this for days... I have a sip device that registers with my *. The sip device is ONLY set up to use ulaw. My asterisk server sends ALL PSTN calls to a Sonus gateway/softswitch. When I place a PSTN call, the sip device sends the INVITE with SDP and the ONLY codec option is ulaw. Asterisk then turns around and sends an INVITE with SDP to the Sonus gateway with ulaw as the first option and g729 as a second option. The Sonus sees the TWO options and ALWAYS chooses g729. The codec negotiation fails and the call never completes.
 
I understand that the TWO options are sent because I have no peer set up for the Sonus in my sip.conf and it defaults to the [general] codec settings which are ulaw and g729. However, MOST of my calls to the Sonus ARE using g729, only a few need to use ulaw. (for faxing) So I can't restrict the Sonus peer to only ulaw...
 
Here is my question:(finally...sorry:))
Can I force asterisk to send ONLY my prefered codec?(the first one in the INVITE) or is this only fixed by pleading with the people who run the Sonus sofswitch to stop ignoring my preferred codec? or is there some other solution? Any suggestions would be very appreciated!
