Audio codecs are associated with a Packet Service Profile. Some codecs are used in pass-through or direct media mode only (that is, special DSP treatments and transcoding are not applicable to the calls using these audio codecs).

All audio codecs used by video calls are also used only in pass-through or direct media mode. Audio codec relay is supported in SIP-SIP, H.323-H.323 as well as SIP-H.323 interworking calls.

For a list of supported audio codecs, see

Command Parameters

The Codec Parameters parameters are as shown below:

Caption

0	Table
1	Codec Parameters

Parameter

Length/Range

Description

codecEntry

N/A

Specifies the name of an entity consisting of a codec type along with the set of parameters to use with it. Select a default codec name or enter a custom name. Defaults are:

G711-DEFAULT
G711SS-DEFAULT
G723-DEFAULT
G723A-DEFAULT
G726-DEFAULT
G729A-DEFAULT
G729AB-DEFAULT

codec

N/A

Select a supported codec. (see

Link_in_new_tab

Text	Audio Codecs
URL	Audio Codecs

for the codec list)

activeCodecSet

N/A

The active code set is applicable to certain AMR narrow-band codecs. Multiple rates may be selected using comma (,). Valid values are:

AMR-0-4.75kbps
AMR-1-5.15kbps
AMR-2-5.90kbps
AMR-3-6.70kbps
AMR-4-7.40kbps
AMR-5-7.950kbps
AMR-6-10.20kbps
AMR-7-12.20kbps

codingRate

N/A

The audio coding rate. (see

Link_in_new_tab

Text	Audio Codecs
URL	Audio Codecs

for details)

dtmf

N/A

Use this parameter to describe how to handle DTMF digits in the media stream.

relay – Type of DTMF relay. Select any one of the relay:
- bothOobAnd2833 – Out-of-Band and RFC 2883 are equally received and both can be transmitted. This option would normally be used only in the case where the OOB DTMF signaling is absorbed and not regenerated. For example, the OOB DTMF might go to an application server that needs to detect the DTMF for control purposes but does not process RTP and the 2833 DTMF would go to the destination media address as part of the RTP stream.
- eitherOobOrRfc2833 – Out-of-Band and RFC 2833 are equally received and only one is transmitted. The one transmitted is the one preferred by the peer or RFC 2833 as the default.
- none – Leaves the DTMF tones in-band as encoded audio.
- outOfBand – Carries DTMF in the signaling protocol.
- rfc2833 – Encodes DTMF into RTP using format and payload type distinct from audio encoding.
removeDigits – Enables the removal of DTMF digits from the media stream. This applies only if DTMF relay is configured as outOfBand or rfc2833.
- disable
- enable (default)

fax

N/A

The treatment taken when the fax tone is detected.

failureHandling –The behavior when a fax tone is detected but treatment fails for any reason:
- continue – (default) Continue to process the call.
- disconnect – Release the call.
- honorToneDetection – Enable this flag for G.711 to G.711 transcoded calls to cause the SBC to initiate a fax re-invite upon fax tone detection when the fax toneTreatment configuration is either faxRelayOrFallbackToG711 or fallbackToG711. When disabled, the SBC ignores the fax tone.
- toneTreatment –Treatment taken when the fax tone is detected. Configuration options are:
- disconnect – Disconnect the call when the fax tone is detected.
- fallbackToG711 – Fall back to G.711 when the fax tone is detected.
- fallbackToG711AllowPeerToNegotiateFaxRelay – Upon detecting a fax tone, SBC transitions call to G.711 if current codec is not already G.711. After transiting to G.711, SBC accepts any T.38 reINVITE from the peer.
- faxRelay – Switch to fax relay (T.38) when the fax tone is detected.
- faxRelayOrFallbackToG711 – Switch to fax relay (T.38) if supported or fall back to G.711 when fax tone is detected.
- ignoreDetectionAllowPeerToNegotiateFaxRelay – Accept a T.38 reINVITE (either from a calling party or a called party) and ignore own fax tone detection event..
- none – (default) Do nothing when the fax tone is detected.
- notifyPeer – For SIP signaling, notify the peer when the fax tone is detected and let the peer decide the next action.

Note
For G.711 calls, Notify Peer, Disconnect, Fax Relay, and Fax Relay or Fallback to G.711 require allocation of a compression resource.

fecRedundancy

0-2

Sets the level for Forward-Error-Correction (FEC) Redundancy [AMR only]. The default value of "0" means FEC redundancy is disabled.

initialCodecMode

N/A

Use this flag to determine the initial codec mode of an AMR/AMR-WB transcoded call once the call is established.

disable (default) – AMR/AMR-WB call starts with the highest rate in the active mode set.
enable – AMR/AMR-WB call starts with a rate determined by the following algorithm:

1. If one codec mode is included in the mode-set, it is the initial codec mode.
2. If two or three codec modes are included in the mode-set, the initial codec mode is the codec mode with the lowest rate.
3. If four or more codec modes are included in the mode-set, the initial codec mode is the codec mode with the second lowest rate.

Include Page

	initialCodecMode_limitation
	initialCodecMode_limitation

law

N/A

Use this parameter to specify the G.711 law to use.

ALaw
ULaw
deriveFromOtherLeg (default)

	DeriveFromOtherLeg limitation

maxAverageBitRate

6000-510000

Maximum average bit rate in bits/second. Applies to the following codecs:

Specifies the maximum bit rate for the EVS codec. Default is 128 Kbps. This value must be greater than or equal to minBitRate.

minBitRate

5.9, 7.2, 8, 9.6, 13.2, 16.4, 24.4, 32, 48, 64, 96, or 128

Specifies the minimum bit rate for the EVS codec. Default is 5.9 Kbps. This value must be less than or equal to maxBitRate.

maxInterleaveDepth

0-7

Use this parameter to specify the maximum interleave depth value to apply to an endpoint (default = 0).

Note
This parameter only applies to EVRC and EVRCB calls.

failureHandling – The behavior when a modem tone is detected but the treatment fails for any reason. The behavior can be:
- continue (default) – Continue to process the call.
- disconnect – Release the call.
honorToneDetection – Enable this flag for G.711 to G.711 transcoded calls to cause the SBC to initiate a re-invite upon modem tone detection when the modem toneTreatment configuration is fallbackToG711. When disabled, the SBC ignores the modem tone.
toneTreatment – Treatment taken when the modem tone is detected, which can be:
- applyFaxTreatment – Treat the modem tone as a fax tone, and apply the fax treatment for the selected codec.
- disconnect – Disconnect the call when the modem tone is detected.
- fallbackToG711 – Fall back to G.711 when the modem tone is detected.
- none (default) – Do nothing when the modem tone is detected.
