Hi,

Can someone explain this line when doing a g729 show licenses? When will you have encoder / decoder.

0/0 encoders/decoders of 5 licensed channels are currently in use

Here is the scenario:

  1. When I’m using g711ulaw on my softphone and Voip Provider (g729).
    RESULT:
    1/1 encoders/decoders of 5 licensed channels are currently in use
    NOTE: it should be like this.

  2. When I’m using g729 on my softphone and Voip Provider (g729).
    RESULT:
    0/2 encoders/decoders of 5 licensed channels are currently in use
    NOTE: If it’s like this we can only make 2 calls for 5 channels

Thanks!

You should be getting 0/0. Are you sure your device is configured to use the right codec in both asterisk and the device itself? Also check your voip provider peer in sip.conf to make sure it is only using g729. Also, are you playing a WAV file that requires transcoding before sending the call out and maybe that is what you are seeing.

Hi,

Thank you very for replying. Here is my setup:

Bria (g729)
–>
Asterisk
–>
VOIP Provider(g729,g711ulaw,g711alaw)

I am using mixmonitor to record the calls to wav.

That will require a decode licence for each direction.
