Media Gateways - Avaya Application Solutions Deployment Manual

Since H.323 allows any of several different codecs to be used for encoding an audio stream on
the IP network, the Prowler board is able to use any of the following codecs:
G.711
G.723.1
G.729 (A, B)
In the same way that a MedPro interfaces with IP Telephony endpoints, it can connect to
another MedPro to interconnect two or more Avaya switches in an IP network over an IP trunk.
