installation and use of the codec

Added by george lagardo almost 12 years ago

Hi,
according to the responses from my prior posts i was advised to install latest version available of Goautodial, which i did, and my current carrier configuration is

[tata]
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
type=peer
username=*****
fromuser=*****
secret=*****
fromdomain=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
insecure=very

to my understanding i am currently using ulaw codec. from the above settings, i was told that this codec utilizes lots of bandwidth, an was advised to use codec G729, so i searched net and got hold of codec_g729-ast14-icc-glibc-core2.so now please tell me if i load this will it work or is there any other free codec of G729 and what changes should i make on the carrier settings to use this codec.

please help .

thanks and regards
George

First upgrade your system by running:

#yum update

Then copy the codec file to:

/usr/lib/asterisk/modules

Add the g729 codec entry:

[tata]
disallow=all
allow=g729
allow=ulaw
type=peer
username=*****
fromuser=*****
secret=*****
fromdomain=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
insecure=very

You need to restart Asterisk to have the module loaded. Enter the Asterisk CLI by typing:

#asterisk -rv

go*CLI> restart now
    (1-1/1)     Go to top
