[SOLVED] Set codec for gateway/destination

[goose2600]

Hi to all, I configured a conference room but cannot receive calls because mod_g729 is only usable in passthrough mode and cannot transcode. So freeswitch end the call because cannot ask the user for a pin.

I made some tests (like set "Codec Preferences" in the gateway config), but cannot find a way to set the codec for a specific gateway/destination (the gateway is used only for transfering inbound calls to the conference room).

Could someone help me please?

You can modify your dial plans to set absolute codec

<action application="set" data="absolute_codec_string=PCMU,GSM"/>
<action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/myprovider/5551231234"/>

@ad5ou
Thaks, but I do not found how to bridge a call to a local extension.
In the dialplan I use

<action application="transfer" data="5000 XML domanin.net"/>

You may be able to use the same set statement or possibly use "export" before the transfer line.
Otherwise you would need to add the set statement somewhere in the "domain.net" dial plans. It could be added to one of the "variable" dial plans in most installations or in the "local_extension" dial plan before the bridge statement.

I don't understand where you are going with this because unless all conference users are using g729 then it still will not work because you need transcoding. Why don't you either just get some licences or install the open version of the codec?

@DigitalDaz Probably I didn't explain what I need: I just would like to force PCMA codec for the conference gateway, but the only way I found is to unload mod_g729.

Edit: I managed to load mod_bcg729 from here: http://repo.sip247.com/debian/, so my problem is gone.

What version of Freeswitch is that? I wasn't aware my repo still worked for the latest. Its good to know if it does.
