Support for Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element
The Support for Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element feature supports negotiation of an audio codec using the Voice Class Codec and Codec Transparent infrastructure on the Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE).
Benefits
Following are the benefits of the Support for Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element feature:
•
You can configure dissimilar Voice Class Codec configurations on the incoming and outgoing dial peers.
•
Both normal transcoding and high-density transcoding are supported with the Voice Class Codec configuration.
•
Mid-call codec changes for supplementary services are supported with the Voice Class Codec configuration. Transcoder resources are dynamically inserted or deleted when required.
•
Reinvite-based supplementary services invoked from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), like call hold, call resume, music on hold (MOH), call transfer, and call forward are supported with the Voice Class Codec configuration.
•
T.38 fax and fax passthru switchover with Voice Class Codec configuration are supported.
•
Reinvite-based call hold and call resume for Secure Real-Time Transfer protocol (SRTP) and Real-Time Protocol (RTP) interworking on Cisco UBE are supported with the Voice Class Codec configuration.
Prerequisites
To the configure Support for Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element feature you must know the following:
•
Transcoding configuration on the Cisco UBE.
•
The digital signal processor (DSP) requirements to support the transcoding feature on the Cisco UBE.
•
The existing Voice Class Codec configuration on the dial peers.
Cisco Unified Border Element
•
Cisco IOS Release 15.1(2)T or a later release must be installed and running on your Cisco Unified Border Element.
Cisco Unified Border Element (Enterprise)
•
Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5 or a later release must be installed and running on your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router.
Restrictions
The Support for Negotiation of an Audio Codec from a List of Codecs on Each Leg of a SIP-to-SIP Call on the Cisco Unified Border Element feature has the following limitations:
•
Mid-call insertion or deletion of the transcoder with voice class codec for H323-H323 and H323-SIP is not supported.
•
Voice class codec is not supported for video calls.
Disabling Codec Filtering
Cisco UBE is configured to filter common codecs for the subsets, by default. The filtered codecs are sent in the outgoing offer. You can configure the Cisco UBE to offer all the codecs configured on an outbound leg instead of offering only the filtered codecs.
![]()
Note
This configuration is applicable only for early offer calls from the Cisco UBE. For delayed offer calls, by default all codecs are offered irrespective of this configuration.
Perform this task to disable codec filtering and allow all the codecs configured on an outbound leg.
