transmission.
The Cisco MeetingPlace audio server supports the G.711 and G.729a compression codecs. To allocate
resources between audio and video to best meet your needs, specify a voice data compression protocol
in Cisco MeetingPlace audio server using the setipcodec command. For instructions, see the
