Re: [Asterisk-Users] Confused on G723 and G729
Ok... so I can safely use a provider who uses G729 or G723 to provide me with VoIP termination without either A) having a connectivity issue, or B) having to pay trans-coding license costs? If so... what do I need to do to get asterisk to use G723? Just set it up? Am I going to have an issue if my terminator uses G723 as far as getting to/from phones using G726 or G711u? Or if someone calls in to check voicemail... will they not be able to hear anything because of this problem? What do I need to do to hook up to a G729 provider, and (the same question)... will a G711 phone work correctly (connected to asterisk).

You need a G.729 license for every instance where a G.729 stream is encoded or decoded on your box. If you connect G.729 endpoints together, this isn't happening so no license is needed. Same goes for G.723. I'm also a litle confused about why G723 can do pass-through but can't do voicemail access? There is no G.723 license available for asterisk, ergo no way to transcode the voicemail and other promts into that format. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Confused on G723 and G729
For instance.. when I try to use G723.1 on my phone (and just call in from my PRI line) I get: Unable to find a path from g723 to ulaw. Unable to find a path from ulaw to g723. No path to translate from Zap/1-1(68) to Sip/201-80c7(1). Same things happens if I call in on my current provider's number which uses G711 for the codec. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Confused on G723 and G729
In your case, where you will need the license is on the box that your phones register to. For exampe, when someone checks voicemail, encoding takes place, therefore you need a license. Look at it this way: [g729 provider] -(SIP or IAX)--- [g729 asterisk server] - no license required in the above connection if using g729 solely [g729 asterisk server containing non-g729 audio files] (SIP)- [g729 SIP Phone] - a license is required above for each non-g729 audio file or stream that needs to be encoded to be sent out as g729 to the g729 SIP Phone (ie. voicemail, IVR prompts, etc.). Hope that makes sense.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Confused on G723 and G729
So [g729 provider] -(SIP or IAX)--- [g729 asterisk server] This is how I'd be setup.. actually more like this: [g729 provider] --(sip) [g729 asterisk server](sip)---[g711 sip phone client]. So... if I understand this correctly.. I *would not* for *any* reason need a license going from the g711 client since to voicemail/etc is fine.. and going out to the provider is not in my system? However, if someone calls IN from the g729 provider and wants to check voicemail, then I'd need a license? ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

No, you will ALWAYS need a license while any call is active between your provider and your asterisk box. The asterisk box (in your description) needs to convert from G.729 to G.711, therefore, it needs a license to do that. Pay $10, get a license, and move on, it will make your life significantly easier. Or, find a provider that will do gsm, or G.711. Or, use a phone that has G.729, and don't use any asterisk functions such as voicemail/etc... -- -- Adam Goryachev Website Managers Ph: +61 2 9345 4395[EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax: +61 2 9345 4396www.websitemanagers.com.au ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Confused on G723 and G729
I'll gladly pay $10 a license... I'm all for supporting digium... however, I was under the impression that there was also some huge one time fee of like $2,000 or something. I guess I was wrong... ok now bad.. So I purchase the license from digium... then what happens/what needs to be done on Asterisk?

Each leg that is transcoded to or from G.729 on your box will use one license. So if you want to support 20 simultaneous callers checking their voicemail, you'll need 20 licenses.

[Asterisk-Users] Confused on G723 and G729
I see that G723 and G729 require a license to be used, or can be used (in the case of G723) in pass-through mode only. My question is.. if my voip terminator supports G723 and G729 only, do I still need a license? Or is that considered pass-through? If so, do I need to do anything special to get it to work? I'm also a litle confused about why G723 can do pass-through but can't do voicemail access? What's the difference, or the logic behind this? ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
