 Codec supported by Mediation Server

The Mediation server uses G7.11 u-law by default. and there is no way you can change the preferred codec at mediation server level.

u-law is used only in North America, rest part of world use a-law. So the question is can we use Mediation server anywhere else other than North America? Answer is yes!

The PBX that interacts with the Mediation Server must be configured to use only a single codec (i.e., either a-law or u-law, but not both) on its interface with the Mediation Server; the configured codec must be the
desired codec for voice encoding. The following interaction would happen:

  Mediation server will send Invite offer with u-law and a-law

  PBX will answer with a-law


  Mediation server has some compatibility issues with some PBX systems. Its always advisable to contact MS before you proceed with the Voice integration.

 

And always make sure that the mediation server is updated.

Microsoft.rtc.mediationservercore.dll is the file name which you should check to know the correct version number.

The above problem was with OCS 2007 R1. It is resolved in OCS 2007 R2. Now PBX doesn't need to be configured with only one codec.
