Choosing a codec
The default codec is used when an IP client has not been configured to use a preferred Codec.
Refer to the next section for individual IP client Codec settings. If the default Codec is set to
AUTO, the Business Communications Manager will choose the appropriate CODEC when an IP
client makes a call. For example, if both endpoints of the call are IP telephones on the same subnet,
the Business Communications Manager chooses G.711 for maximum voice quality. If the
telephones are on different subnets, the Business Communications Manager will choose G.729 to
minimize network bandwidth consumption by voice data packets.
For IP telephones, the Business Communications Manager supports both a-law and mu-law
variants of the G.711 CODEC, as well as the G.729 and G.723 CODECS.
• The G.711 CODEC samples the voice stream at a rate of 64Kbps (Kilo bits per second), and is
the CODEC to use for maximum voice quality. Choose the G.711 CODEC with the
companding law (alaw or ulaw) that matches your system requirements.
• The G.729 CODEC samples the voice stream at 8Kbps. The voice quality is slightly lower
using a G.729 but it reduces network traffic by approximately 80%.
• The G.723 CODEC should be used only with third party devices that do not support G.729 or
G.711.
• Codecs with VAD (Voice Activity Detection) make VAD active on the system, which
performs the same function as having silence suppression active.
Jitter Buffer None
Auto
Small
Medium
Large
Choose one of these settings to change the default jitter buffer size:
• NONE: Minimal latency, best for short-haul networks with
good bandwidth.
• AUTO: Business Communications Manager will dynamically
adjust the size.
• SMALL: Business Communications Manager will adjust the
buffer size, depending on CODEC type and number
of frames per packet to introduce a 60-millisecond
delay.
• MEDIUM: 120-millisecond delay
• LARGE: 180-millisecond delay
For information about choosing a Jitter Buffer, refer to “Choosing a
Jitter Buffer” on page 43.
Note: If the IP telephones are using VoIP trunks for the call, the codec set for the trunks
overrides the telephone settings.
