Changing the Audio Format That Cisco Unity Connection Uses for Calls

For calls, Cisco Unity Connection advertises the audio format (or codec) that is preferred for the media stream with the phone system. You should consider the following when setting the audio format:

Connection should use the same audio format for the media stream that the phone system uses for the following reasons:

To reduce the need for transcoding the media stream from one audio format to another.

To minimize the performance impact on the Connection server and on the phone system.

To preserve the audio quality of calls.

When Connection advertises a different audio format than the one used by the phone system, the phone system will transcode the media stream.

To Change the Audio Format That Connection Uses for Calls


Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Telephony Integrations, then click Port Group.
