<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">’</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">m wondering what the best way is to limit the available codecs when making outbound</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">bypass-media calls to the PSTN. The scenario is as follows:</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Extension phones have HD codecs</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> including G722</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">enabled for the best audio quality between extensions</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> for internal calls</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> When an outbound call is made</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">to th</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">e PSTN, the first-choice wholesale provider we use</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">offers (and seems to prefer) G722.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> We</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">’</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">d rather ensure that G711 is used instead.
