    To enable voice services, you must individually set up each voice port. Each voice port needs to have telephony channel identifier (TCID) parameters configured, a set coding profile and then any coding profile parameters need to be configured. Vpacket 5100/6100 Series H.323 Telephony...

  • Page 16: Coding Profiles

    Coding profiles can be used by any TCID assigned to a port on a 6100 VDR but only one at a time. Vpacket has supplied eight default coding profiles, six for voice and two for fax. Each coding profile uses one of the major industry standard codecs, including G.711 (A-law 64 kbps), G.711m- law, G.723 5.3, G.723 6.3, G.726 (ADPCM), and G.729ab as well as two versions of T.38 fax.
