Configuring Wideband Codec
If Cisco Unified Communications Manager has been configured to use G.722 (G.722 is enabled by
default for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G) and if the far endpoint supports G.722, the
call connects using the G.722 codec in place of G.711. This situation occurs regardless of whether the
user has enabled a wideband headset or wideband handset, but if either the headset or handset is enabled,
the user may notice greater audio sensitivity during the call. Greater sensitivity means improved audio
clarity but also means that more background noise can be heard by the far endpoint—noise such as
rustling papers or nearby conversations. Even without a wideband headset or handset, some users may
prefer the additional sensitivity of G.722. Other users may be distracted by the additional sensitivity of
G.722.

When you upgrade Cisco Unified Communications Manager, a default List.xml file will replace
your customized List.xml file. After you customize the List.xml file, make a copy of the file and
store it in another location. After upgrading Cisco Unified Communications Manager, replace
the default List.xml file with your stored copy.
Advertise G.722 Codec—From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose
System > Enterprise Parameters. The default value of this enterprise parameter is True, which
means that all Cisco Unified IP Phone Models 7942G, 7962G, 7945G, 7965G, and 7975G that are
registered to this Cisco Unified Communications Manager will advertise G.722 to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager. If each endpoint in the attempted call supports G.722 in its capabilities set,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager will choose that codec for the call.
Advertise G.722 Codec—From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose
Device > Phone. The default value of this product-specific parameter is to use the value specified
in the enterprise parameter. If you want to override this on a per-phone basis, choose Enabled or
Disabled in the Advertise G.722 Codec parameter on the Product Specific Configuration area of the
Phone Configuration window.
