Feature Overview

Features that are available on Cisco AS5300 universal access servers are now available on Cisco AS5350, Cisco AS5400, Cisco AS5400HPX, and Cisco AS5850 universal gateways. Also, the G.Clear codec is supported on Cisco AS5300 universal access servers.

The voice codec features that are described and configured in this document are as follows:

G.Clear including Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) and session initiation protocol (SIP)

GSMFR

Support for dynamic payload types

G.726

The Modem and Fax Passthrough feature is also supported.

Codec

The term codec stands for coder-decoder. A codec is a particular method of transforming analog voice into a digital bit stream (and vice versa) and also refers to the type of compression used. Several different codecs have been developed to perform these functions, and each one is known by the number of the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) standard in which it is defined. For example, two common codecs are the G.711 and the G.729 codecs.

Codecs use different algorithms to encode analog voice into digital bit streams and have different bit rates, frame sizes, and coding delays associated with them. Codecs also differ in the amount of perceived voice quality they achieve. Specialized hardware and software in the digital signal processors (DSPs) perform codec transformation and compression functions, and different DSPs may offer different selections of codecs.

Select the same type of codec at both ends of the call. For instance, if a call was coded with a G.729 codec, it must be decoded with a G.729 codec. Codec choice is configured on dial peers.

Clear Channel (G.Clear) Codec

G.Clear guarantees bit integrity when transferring a DS-0 through a gateway server, supports the transporting of nonvoice circuit data sessions through a Voice over IP (VoIP) network, and enables the VoIP networks to transport ISDN and switched 56 circuit-switched data calls. With the availability of G.Clear, ISDN data calls that do not require bonding can be supported.

In a transit application, because it is possible to have a mix of voice and data calls, not supporting G.Clear limits the solution to voice-only calls. The end-user application is in charge of handling packet loss and error recovery. This packet loss management precludes the use of clear channel with some applications unless the IP network is carefully engineered.

In an MGCP environment, the voice gateway backhauls the public switched telephony network (PSTN) signaling channel to the call agent. The call agent examines the bearer capability and determines when a G.Clear call should be established.


Note G.Clear codecs cannot be configured on a T1 channel associated signaling (CAS) trunk for incoming traffic. T1 CAS trunks use least significant bit-robbing for signaling, which causes the data to be incorrect and re-sent from high level protocols. Traffic on an incoming E1 R2 trunk can be configured.

If you configure the G.Clear codec under a VoIP dial peer, you cannot transmit and receive voice traffic with that dial peer on the voice gateway router. The G.Clear codec does not accommodate voice services like dial tone or ring-back tone.


GSM Full Rate Codec

The GSMFR codec was introduced in 1987. The GSMFR speech coder has a frame size of 20 ms and operates at a bit rate of 13 kbps. GSMFR is an RPE-LTP (Regular Pulse Excited - Linear Predictive) coder.

In order to write VoiceXML scripts that can function as the user interface for a simple voice-mail system, the network must support GSMFR codecs. The network messaging must be capable of recording a voice message and depositing the message to an external server for later retrieval.

This codec supports the Cisco infrastructure and application partner components required for service providers to deploy unified messaging applications.

Adaptive Differential PCM Voice Codec—G.726

Adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM) voice codec operates at bit rates of 16, 24, and 32 kbps. ADPCM provides the following functionality:

Voice mail recording and playback, which is a requirement for Internet voice mail.

Voice transport for cellular, wireless, and cable markets.

High voice quality voice transport at 32 kbps.

Modem and Fax Passthrough

When service providers and aggregators are implementing VoIP, they sometimes cannot separate fax or data traffic from voice traffic. These carriers that aggregate voice traffic over VoIP infrastructures require service offerings to carry fax and data as easily as voice.

On detection of the modem answer tone, the gateways switch into modem passthrough mode. With modem passthrough, the modem traffic is carried between the two gateways in real-time transport protocol (RTP) packets, using an uncompressed or lightly compressed voice codec—G.711 u-law, G.711 a-law, or Voice Band Data (VBD). Packet redundancy may be used to mitigate the effects of packet loss in the IP network. Even so, modem passthrough remains susceptible to packet loss, jitter, and latency in the IP network.

Figure 1 illustrates how modem and fax passthrough works in an IP network.

Figure 1 Modem and Fax Passthrough

The Modem Passthrough feature is also known as Voice Band Data (VBD) by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). VBD refers to the transport of modem signals over a voice channel through a packet network with an encoding appropriate for modem signals. The minimum set of coders for VBD mode is G.711 ulaw and alaw.

For VBD mode of operation, the path between the originating and answering gateway remains in a voice configuration. The modem signals are encoded using an appropriate speech codec suitable for the task, and samples are transported across a packet network. Currently G.711 is supported.

Some system requirements for the use of VBD follow:

Use a voice codec that passes voice band modulated signals with minimal distortion.

Have end-to-end constant latency.

Disable Voice Activity Detection (VAD) and Comfort Noise Generation (CNG) during the data transfer phase.

Disable any DC removal filters that may be integral with the speech encoder used.

Be capable of tone detection, including mid-call dual tone multifrequency (DTMF), as well insertion of tones, announcements, and voice prompts.

To use VBD, you should consider the appropriate application of:

Echo cancellers on a VBD channel

RFC 2198

Modem and Fax Passthrough Switchover

When the gateways detect a data modem, both the originating gateway and the terminating gateway switch to modem passthrough mode. This switchover includes the following:

Switching to the G.711 codec

Disabling the high pass filter

Disabling Voice Activity Detection (VAD)

Using special jitter buffer management algorithms

On detection of modem phase reversal tone, disabling the echo canceler

At the end of the modem or fax call, the voice ports revert to the previous configuration and the DSPs switch back to the original voice codec.

Controlled Redundancy Using RTP (RFC 2198)

Packet loss is a persistent issue in voice applications. The disruption of speech, which is characteristic of packet loss, can be somewhat resolved with controlled redundancy and theRTP. Controlled redundancy reconstructs missing information at the receiver end from the redundant data that arrives in the transmitted packets.

Some of the requirements for a controlled redundancy are as follows:

The packets have to carry a primary encoding and one redundant encoding.

Because the use of variable size encodings is desirable, each encoded block in the packet must have a length indicator.

The RTP header provides a time-stamp field that corresponds to the time of creation of the encoded data and redundant blocks of data correspond to different time intervals than the primary data. So each block of redundant encoding requires its own time stamp.

You can enable redundancy so that the modem and fax passthrough switchover causes the gateway to transmit redundant packets and redundancy can be enabled in one or both of the gateways. When only one gateway is configured, the other gateway receives the packets correctly, but does not produce redundant packets.


Note The current Cisco implementation of RFC 2198 reflects a redundant encoding of 1X or 1 repeat of the original packet. This means that any loss scenario in which two or more consecutive packets are dropped would cause a loss of data translated into a retrain, Failure To Train (FTT), or call drop, etc. in modem and fax passthrough.


See the "Restrictions" section for more information.

Clock Slip Buffer Management

When the gateways detect a data modem, both the originating gateway and the terminating gateway switch from dynamic and adaptive buffers to static de-jitter buffers. The use of a static de-jitter buffer is required for modem passthrough because the adaptation process in a dynamic de-jitter buffer causes a retrain on the modem connection. When the modem call is concluded, the voice ports revert to dynamic jitter buffers.

In addition, the modem passthrough data management algorithm is designed to handle and compensate for clocking differences in the PSTN between the originating and terminating gateways. This additional clock-slip monitoring prevents issues that show up in long duration modem calls.

Benefits

G.Clear Codec

VoIP networks can transport ISDN and switched 56 circuit-switched data calls.

Modem and Fax Passthrough

Detection of modem and fax tones is possible up to and including V.90 enabling the proper switchover from voice to modem or fax passthrough.

VoIP service providers who aggregate voice traffic can pass modem and fax signals over VoIP networks.

RFC 2198 payload redundancy improves reliability in networks with low packet loss.

Fax passthrough can be used to interoperate with VoIP endpoints that do not support T.38 fax relay.

Restrictions

G. Clear Codec

The G.Clear support with the 64k unrestricted bandwidth is available only with MGCP signaling because the requests are handled between the call agent (CA) and the MGCP gateway. In order to use the G.Clear support with the H.323 or SIP protocols, the bearer capability in the Q.931 message must be the same as a regular voice call. The voice gateway negotiates the G.Clear codec based on the voice gateway configuration.

GSMFR Codec

See Table 1 for specific information.

G.726 Codec

See Table 1 for specific information.

Modem and Fax Passthrough

Modem and fax passthrough are required to support interoperability with Cisco and third-party devices that do not support modem or fax relay. The Cisco AS5400 and Cisco AS5850 universal gateways have the following limitations:

Performance—To handle packet loss, redundant encoding (1X or one repeat of the original packet) is required and the amount of data transferred in each packet is doubled. The doubling of packets imposes a limitation on the total number of ports that can run modem passthrough at one time.

Starting from port 0 and grouping the next 36 consecutive ports, defined as a subsystem—there are 3 subsystems per dfc108 card on the Cisco AS5400 (3 times 36 for a total of 108 ports) and 9 subsystems on the Cisco AS5850 tetryl card (9 times 36 for a total of 324 ports)—the limitations are as follows:

36 10- or 20-ms modem passthrough sessions with no redundancy

20-ms modem passthrough sessions with redundancy

10-ms modem passthrough sessions with redundancy

Examples of modem passthrough sessions mixed with a high load voice session type are as follows:

10 10-ms modem passthrough sessions and 20 G711, no VAD sessions

12 10-ms modem passthrough sessions and 16 G.711, no VAD sessions

You can simply calculate that two voice sessions with no VAD equate to one modem passthrough session with redundancy. With 10-ms modem passthrough, each subsystem has a modem passthrough limit of 20 sessions. With 20-ms modem passthrough, each subsystem has a modem passthrough limit of 30 sessions. The same limitations would apply to all subsequent subsystems.

The Cisco AS5400 and Cisco AS5850 have the capability to transmit 20-ms packets and receive 10-ms packets that significantly improves performance over what can currently be handled with 10-ms in both directions. Currently, other Cisco universal gateway implementations may have an outgoing packet size limitation that imposes the use of 10-ms packets, as opposed to 20-ms (optimal setting). This restriction limits the number of ports that can run modem passthrough to 20 per subsystem (10-ms connections only).


Note Modem and fax passthrough do not support the switch from G.Clear to G.711. If modem passthrough and the G.Clear codec are configured, the gateway will not be able to detect the modem answer tone or fax tone.


When using modem passthrough, it is recommended that the user (either client or NAS) disable V.8bis if feasible. With V.8bis enabled, connections may take an additional 4 to 10 seconds. It should be noted that if V.8bis is disabled, modems attempting K56 flex will connect at V.34 rates. Because of the V.8bis handshake occurring before codec switchover, this will be true for modem passthrough during most flex attempts regardless of whether V.8bis is enabled or disabled.

Prerequisites

The following sections describe the prerequisites for each feature:

G.Clear, GSMFR, and G.726 Prerequisites

Modem and Fax Passthrough Prerequisites

G.Clear, GSMFR, and G.726 Prerequisites

For MGCP, if 64 Kb unrestricted is specified for the bearer capabilities signaled on the incoming message, the CA can influence the codec negotiation by way of the ingress or egress Create Connection (CRCX).

Modem and Fax Passthrough Prerequisites

Before configuring your universal gateway for modem passthrough, perform the following tasks:

Establish a working VoIP-enabled network.

Verify network suitability to pass modem traffic by determining the packet loss threshold to pass modem traffic. Packet loss and latency are two impairments that can have a dramatic effect on modem passthrough performance.

With respect to packet loss, up to 1 percent random packet loss causes little degradation of Carrier Sensitive Route (CSR) with either V.90 or V.34 as long as redundancy (1X only) is enabled. When two consecutive packets of loss occur, a retrain occurs that degrades throughput during the time that the retrain occurs. If this loss occurs during connection, it may cause a failure to connect or a lower connect rate to occur.

With less than 1 percent random packet loss, the effect is minimal. If redundancy is disabled, CSR drops significantly (perhaps as much as 40 to 80 percent), which is expected. In theory you may lose every other packet (fixed loss) and still maintain connectivity, if redundancy is enabled but networks do not have fixed loss. Certainly higher random packet loss, particularly multiple consecutive packets, causes problems with respect to negotiation of speed and retrain and call connectivity.

Delay causes problems, particularly with V.90, if total round trip delay on the end-to-end connection exceeds a certain threshold (around 400 to 425 ms). It is recommended that networks that have known delay above 60 ms (one way on the IP leg) use V.34 with a fixed connect rate of 28,800 kbps to minimize the effects of delay on CSR.

Verify the key characteristics of the network by using the response time reporter (RTR) feature of Cisco IOS software to check the packet loss, delay, and jitter. See "Restrictions" section for more information. For more information on RTR, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

If you are using a gateway that does not support T.38 fax relay or if you choose to use fax passthrough instead of T.38 fax relay, follow these guidelines:

Create a VoIP dial peer on both the originating and terminating gateway.

Disable T.38 fax relay on these VoIP dial peers on both the originating and terminating gateway (H.323 and SIP) using the fax rate disable command. Use the mgcp fax t38 inhibit command for MGCP fax passthrough.

Associate the destination phone number (to which the fax machine is attached) using the incoming-called-number command on the VoIP dial peer.

The default fax mode on all Cisco AS5400 universal gateways is T.38 fax relay. For best performance, verify that you have T.38 fax relay on both the originating and the terminating gateways. If two Cisco IOS gateways have differing transports, they do not negotiate.

A fax type (relay or passthrough) topology for what action the gateway would take depending on the gateway configuration is shown in Table 2. The topology is: sending fax machine to originating gateway; originating gateway to the IP; IP to the terminating gateway; terminating gateway to the receiving fax machine.

Configuring Modem and Fax Passthrough

By default, modem and fax passthrough over VoIP capability and redundancy are disabled. Redundancy can be enabled in one or both of the gateways. When only a single gateway is configured for redundancy, the other gateway receives the packets correctly but does not produce redundant packets.

Modem and fax passthrough can be configured for a specific dial peer or for a system dial peer. If modem and fax passthrough are configured for both a specific dial peer and the system dial peer, the specific dial peer configuration takes precedence over the system configuration.

Consequently, when a call matches a particular dial peer, the universal gateway first applies the configuration on the dial peer. Then, if a specific dial peer is not configured, the universal gateway will use the system configuration.


Note For modem and fax passthrough to operate correctly, you must configure both the originating gateway and the terminating gateway. If you configure only one of the gateways in a pair, the modem or fax call will not connect.


Recommended Load Balance for Modem and Fax Passthrough with Voice Codecs

When redundant encoding (1X or one repeat of the original packet) is used to control packet loss, the amount of data transferred in each packet doubles. Doubling the packet payload length imposes a limitation on the total number of DSP ports that can run modem or fax passthrough at one time on a specific subsystem.

Table 3 shows the number of subsystems (a group of contiguous DSP ports) listed by the DSP feature card and a specific universal gateway.

Table 3 Allowable Subsystems in Cisco AS5000

The AS535-DFC-60NP and AS54-DFC-60NP feature cards have 30 contiguous DSP ports in each subsystem. The remaining DSP feature cards have 36 contiguous DSP ports in each subsystem. Starting with port 0 and grouping the next 35 consecutive ports (36 ports total), creates one subsystem. For example, the total number of DSP ports per AS535-DFC-108NP = 36 * 3 = 108 DSP ports.

Load balance settings apply to one subsystem. To calculate the total number of modem or fax passthrough sessions per gateway, use this calculation: sessions per subsystem * subsystems per DSP feature card * DSP feature cards.


Note There are no modem or fax passthrough limitations when redundancy is disabled. Modem and fax passthrough limits only apply when redundancy is enabled.



Note It is recommended that Cisco AS5000 universal gateways must be configured to transmit and receive 20-ms packets (optimal setting) or 10-ms packets. The packet setting can be symmetric, i.e. transmit and receive using the same packetization rate, or asymmetric, in which the transmit and receive packetization rates are different.


Some Cisco universal gateways transmit fax passthrough (with redundancy enabled) using 10-ms packets only. Although the Cisco AS5300 can only transmit 10-ms packets, the Cisco AS5300 has the ability to receive 20-ms packets with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T.

Modem Passthrough

Table 4 and Table 5 have the allowable number of modem passthrough and voice sessions listed by payload size. The voice codec is given also. The tables may be used as a reference for load balancing modem passthrough calls when voice calls are active. It should be noted that if less than 15 percent of the overall call load is modem passthrough, or if less than a full call load is placed on the gateway, load balancing may not be required.

The default settings per subsystem are:

10-ms packets: 18 modem passthrough sessions

20-ms packets: 30 modem passthrough sessions

These default settings are based on the default codec configuration of G.729 with VAD enabled.

The recommended configuration for Cisco AS5000 series is 20 ms. A hybrid or mixed 20-ms to 10-ms gateway connection may provide a 10 to 15 percent gain in the number of sessions per subsystem improving modem passthrough performance compared to 10-ms packets in both directions.

The sections that describe the modem and fax passthrough configuration tasks are as follows:

Configuring Modem and Fax Passthrough for H.323 and SIP Support (Dial Peer) (required)

Configuring Modem and Fax Passthrough for H.323 and SIP Support (Global) (required)

Configuring Modem and Fax Passthrough for MGCP Support (required)

Configuring Modem and Fax Passthrough for H.323 and SIP Support (Dial Peer)

To configure modem and fax passthrough for H.323 and SIP support on a specific dial peer, use the following commands in dial-peer configuration mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config-dial-peer)# modem passthrough nse codec {g711alaw | g711ulaw} redundancy

Specifies modem passthrough for the specified codec.

The keywords are as follows:

nse—Used to specify Named Signaling Event (NSE).

codec—Used to specify the type of codec.

g711alaw—Specifies the G.711 a-law codec type.

g711ulaw—Specifies the G.711 u-law codec type.

redundancy—Specifies the RFC 2198 for packet redundancy.

Note Use the same codec type for both the originating gateway and the terminating gateway. The G.711 u-law codec is required for T1.

Step 2 

Router(config-dial-peer)# fax rate disable

Enables fax passthrough.

Configuring Modem and Fax Passthrough for H.323 and SIP Support (Global)

When using the voice service voip and modem passthrough nse commands on a terminating gateway to globally set up fax or modem passthrough with NSEs, you must also ensure that each incoming call will be associated with a VoIP dial peer to retrieve the global fax or modem configuration. You associate calls with dial peers by using the incoming called-number command to specify a sequence of digits that incoming calls can match. You can ensure that all calls will match at least one dial peer by using the following commands:

Router(config)# dial-peer voice tag voip
Router(config-dial-peer)# incoming called-number . 

To configure modem and fax passthrough for all the dial peers of a gateway, use the following commands in voice-service configuration mode:

Command
Purpose

Router(conf-voi-serv)# modem passthrough nse [payload-type number] codec {g711alaw | g711ulaw} [redundancy] [maximum-sessions value]

Configures modem passthrough for all dial peers of a gateway. The default is no modem passthrough.

The keywords are as follows:

nse—Specifies the NSE.

payload-type number—(Optional) NSE payload type. The valid range is from 96 to 119.

codec—Specified the codec for upspeed. Upspeed dynamically changes the codec and speed to meet network conditions.

g711alaw—Specifies the 64 Kbps upspeed for E1.

g711ulaw—Specifies the 64 Kbps upspeed for T1.

redundancy—(Optional) Specifies the RFC 2198 for packet redundancy.

maximum-sessions value—(Optional) Specifies the number of simultaneous modem passthrough sessions. The valid range is from 1 (minimum) to 26 (maximum). The default is 16.

Configuring Modem and Fax Passthrough for MGCP Support

You can configure modem and fax passthrough with MGCP support by entering global configuration mode. You must configure a VoIP dial peer on both the originating and terminating gateways to match the call—for example, using a destination pattern. The modem and fax passthrough parameters associated with those dial peers will then apply to the calls between them.


Note When modem and fax passthrough is configured individually for a specific dial peer, the dial-peer configuration takes precedence over the system configuration for that specific dial peer.


To configure modem and fax passthrough with MGCP support on Cisco AS5400 universal gateways, use the following commands in global configuration mode:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config)# mgcp modem passthrough voip codec {g711ulaw | g711alaw}

Specifies the modem passthrough VoIP codec.

The keywords are as follow:

codec—Used to specify the type of codec.

g711ulaw—Specifies the G.711 u-law codec type.

g711alaw—Specifies the G.711 a-law codec type.

Note Use the same codec type for both the originating gateway and the terminating gateway. The G.711 u-law codec is required for T1.

Step 2 

Router(config)# mgcp modem passthrough voip mode nse

Configures modem passthrough mode. The mode and nse keywords set the MGCP modem and fax passthrough mode to NSE.

Step 3 

Router(config)# mgcp modem passthrough voip redundancy sample-duration value maximum sessions value

Specifies redundant packets for modem traffic.

redundancy sample-duration—When redundancy is on, all calls on the same server are affected. The valid values are 10 and 20 ms. The default is 10 ms.

maximum sessions value—Specifies the number of maximum redundancy sessions that run simultaneously on each subsystem. The valid range is from 1 (minimum) to 26 (maximum). The default is 16.

Step 4 

Router(config)# mgcp fax t38 inhibit

Enables fax passthrough.


Verifying Modem and Fax Passthrough

To verify that modem and fax passthrough are enabled, use the following commands:

show running-config to verify the configuration. The following is sample output of a running configuration on a Cisco AS5300 and Cisco AS5400:

Troubleshooting Tips for Modem and Fax Passthrough

To troubleshoot modem and fax passthrough, perform the following checks:

Ensure that you can make a voice call.

Ensure that modem passthrough over VoIP is configured with the same parameters on both the originating gateway and the terminating gateway.

Ensure that the originating and terminating gateways have the same NSE payload-type number.

Use the debug vtsp session command to display the voice telephony call control session. The following is sample output on a Cisco AS5400 universal gateway:

Command Reference

This section documents the new mgcp rtp payload-type command. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2 command reference publications.

mgcp rtp payload-type

To specify use of the correct real-time transport protocol (RTP) payload type for backward compatibility in Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) networks, use the mgcp rtp payload-type command in global configuration mode. To disable the backward compatibility, use the no form of this command.

Fax and Modem Codecs

mgcp rtp payload-type {cisco-pcm-switch-over-alaw 127 | cisco-pcm-switch-over-ulaw 126}

no mgcp rtp payload-type {cisco-pcm-switch-over-alaw 127 | cisco-pcm-switch-over-ulaw 126}

Voice Codecs

mgcp rtp payload-type {clear-channel | g726r16 | g726r24} static

no mgcp rtp payload-type {clear-channel | g726r16 | g726r24} static

Syntax Description

cisco-pcm-switch-over-alaw 127

Payload type for upspeed to the G.711 a-law codec.

cisco-pcm-switch-over-ulaw 126

Payload type for upspeed to the G.711 u-law codec.

clear-channel

Payload type for clear channel codec.

g726r16

Payload type for the G.726 codec at 16K.

g726r24

Payload type for the G.726 codec at 24K.

static

Static payload type.


Defaults

For fax and modem codecs, the default if this command is not used is a static RTP payload type.

For voice codecs, the default if this command is not used is a dynamic RTP payload type between 96 and 127.

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(11)T

This command was introduced on the following platforms: Cisco AS5300, Cisco AS5350, Cisco AS5400, Cisco AS5400HPX, and Cisco AS5850.


Usage Guidelines

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T introduces a different RTP payload type negotiation for MGCP VoIP calls than was present in previous Cisco IOS images. To ensure interoperability between gateways using different Cisco IOS images, follow these guidelines:

For fax and modem codecs—If either the originating or terminating MGCP gateway is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T or a later release and the other gateway is running a release earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T, use the mgcp rtp payload-type command on the gateway with the later release.

For voice codecs—If you are using a Clear Channel, G.726R16, or G.726R24 codec, and either the originating or terminating MGCP gateway is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T or a later release and the other gateway is running a release earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T, use the mgcp rtp payload-type command on the gateway with the later release.

If both the originating and terminating gateways are using Cisco IOS Release 12.2(11)T or a later version, this command is not required.

Examples

The following example specifies use of dynamic RTP payload type for fax and modem calls for mu-law PCM calls in an MGCP network in which the other gateway is running a version of Cisco IOS that is earlier than Release 12.2(11)T:

mgcp rtp payload-type cisco-pcm-switch-over-ulaw 126

The following example specifies use of a static RTP payload type for a G.726R16 codec in an MGCP network in which the other gateway is running a version of Cisco IOS that is earlier than Release 12.2(11)T:

mgcp rtp payload-type g726r16 static
